GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS
It is currently 88ºs here in the ♥-Land at 9:30 am and said to get as high as 103ºs this beautiful sunshiny day with no in sight. I am planning on attending WW this evening and expecting to take a hit since I missed going last week. We are going to make a real effort to not eat out so much. I count the points but some “sources” say that the listings for restaurants points+ are not quite accurate so that doesn’t help in trying to keep close track. I think we are going to start by just eating out once on Sunday after morning services and eat “in” the rest of the meals. It has just become so easy to eat out these hot days that I don’t really feel like cooking. How did my mother do it ~ we never at out when I was a kid.
I was just looking at my palm where I had burned a spot with hot solder some days ago. It is sure taking a long time for it to heal completely for it must have been a deep burn. There is just a tiny little scab hanging on. When I finish this building I will have to wait for an order to be made for I will be out of solder. I don’t like using the kind that the hardware store carries for it doesn’t flow like the brand I get from the Glass Crafter folks. They should be the same but they just aren’t.
I think Cecil misses his little kitten friend but we had him taken to the shelter where someone will adopt him ~ for folks are always looking for a cute little kitten. The shelter man figured someone just dumped the kitten into our yard because it is near impossible for anything to get into this yard because of the fencing ~ except maybe a snake and I have not seen any of those since moving here. There are always folks dumping dogs on our friends ranch in Texas. Guess some folks dump animals onto people who they know will take care of them. I suppose it is just easier than taking an animal to the shelter for some people. That is a definite mindset. I remember as a kid when we moved and had to leave our cat behind but my mother found a family to take him in and care for him. He was a big yellow tabby that we called Brother John. I was in kindergarten and remember singing “are you sleeping, are you sleeping Brother John? Morning bells are ringing . . . “ and so on. I don’t know if it is a real song or if I made it up ~ but I remember the tune.
SUSAN My food sealer takes rolls of bagging and will cut any size I want and is easy to use ~ I think it is the largest one they make ~ Food Saver model V3420. I will have to look out for those bags you mentioned for it would sure be handy to have on hand for those times when I don’t want to get out the “sealer.” They are getting so trick with all those bags now aren’t they. I love having the snack sized bags. I use those for my jerky then put them in a bigger freezer bag. Sounds like you had a fun time with your friend quilting. It is great to do things with friends. I certainly hope your chiropractor is able to help your pain go away. Sometimes the manipulation and such can help out tremendously.
DONNA FAYE for your weight loss. Just do the best you can and don’t stress on it and you will be down some more before your vacation. When one isn’t well they say is not the best time to try to lose weight. You have been through some real tough times here lately. Jicama doesn’t have a strong taste whatever one thinks it might taste like. I love the crunch and like it with a light dusting of Cayenne pepper. I do hope that your neclaces are what you expected and will work well with your outfits.
JEAN Good day to you this day.
I hope all is well with you Magnolias ~ type at y’all later ~
