Afternoon girls! I am waiting for the last load of trip clothes to finish drying and we have had a bit of supper so thought I would peek back in.
Jean: Yes, Jack is holding Yoda from Star Wars. The monkey was in the box with the doll they bought for me and said I was the doll with the orange spikey hair and the monkey was jack. That's where the monkey came from. Kelly and Tom bought me this adorable little yorkie doggy that woofed and panted and ran its little paws but they picked it out because its tongue hangs out like Fortune's does. Some kids are going to get some great gifts this year from our kooky exchange. Sorry hospital "money" was a nightmare today. It is terrible here, cold and icy cold rain drops that are huge. Jack forgot to buy ice melt for the deck so I hope he doesn't fall on his tush going to work in the morning. Maggie: Congrats on the loss. I am not too worried about my gain as I am back to my program. Sounds like you have been busy. Well, the dryer is calling my name so I better go. Talk to you all in the morning. Faye |

Good morning to everyone. It is coming down as snow right now, but on the ground it is just wet. It says it is 34 degrees so maybe it will warm up enough not to freeze. Jack goes back to work today so I always worry about him out on the road in any kind of bad weather because of the noodleheads around here.
I finished all the laundry, put away the clean clothes left over from the trip, did a bit of shopping, and put everything else away from the trip. I am going to put away all the finished laundry, dust and a couple other cleaning chores upstairs then I am done for today. Here is a pic of Jackson and Thomas. I told them to say cheese and Jackson took it to the max here, :lol: . This was on Thanksgiving day at the restaurant. I am trying to gradually change Fortune back to hard dog food with pureed veggies or pumpkin. He has gained 3 lbs which is too much for him and I need to get his weight back. Right now I am mixing half his made food with half hard dog food. It is going ok, not perfect, but ok so we shall see when we get to only hard dog food and pumpkin or pureed veggies. We shall see how it goes. Not much else going on here. Have a good one today! Stay warm and dry! Faye |
Titilating Chilly Tuesday
:wave:GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS :comp:
It is currently 39 degrees and they say will get up to 47 this day in the Heartland. Sunny day with very few clowds. Not much on my list to do this day so it will be glass work. Will had to go out to a meeting last evening so stopped by the WW center here and picked me up one of the oil sprayers and were out of the trackers until next week. I need one by January so they will surely have some by then. :p I already have an oil sprayer but wanted another so I can have canola in one and olive in another. The sprayers are different so I can tell which oil is in which. :p Life is good. The only person that wants me to make a bookmark for is my WW leader freind out in CA. :o So I will be making that this day and getting it in the mail. Those who have laminators or access to one can do their own. I just thought it was a good idea. If Will wants one ~ his hands are huge. I attached a light green tassle to mine. :cool: I like visuals. Our friend that lives in our basement likes to buy us pies and the next time he asks what kind we want ~ I will suggest he get a 4 pack of Perrier water instead. We don't need pie. :D I love Perrier water and treat myself with a bottle now and then. I would rather drink it than soda. When I first heard about it was way back in my yonger days ~ I asked the local market manager if he could order me some and he did and it caught on in that town and he ordered lots of it. At first he asked if I would buy the case of it if he ordered it and I said I would so he ordered two and the second one sold very quickly. Now it has been imported to lots of markets across this country. :p Some folks don't care for it but the ones that like it ~ like it a lot. It is spendy now and costs more than soda for it runs about a buck a bottle. It is a product of France, captured at the source. OO La La. I am sure most of you have heard of it and tried it. MJ's doc just got 4 years in the slam. Life is cheap even when you are a big star. A guy got 7 years for drownig some puppies. DONNA FAYE What a charming picture of those youngsters. Thanks for sharing. Wow you have been feeding your pup well. That is a lot of weight for a little dog to put on. Now it is WW for him. You can keep your snow for I don't like it as much as I used to. The sledding days for me are over and done with but they were sure fun while they lasted. :cool: Snow is OK if I am not required to shovel it. Have a great day all you Magnolias. :wave: Type at y'all later. Time for us to go to town and run a few errands. PS: Much later in the day ~ I went ahead and had some fun and made you all a bookmark and they will be sent out in the mail tomorrow. |
Good Evening, Flowers! It's been a long day for me, and I've only accomplished 3 things: I, along with another volunteer, helped decorate 2, out of 16, 6' Christmas trees at the hospital as well as hanging garland around two of the main registration desks, a 3 hour perm this afternoon, and a long nap with Ernie tonight.
"Gma" -- It seems weird that you would have snow, and especially before we do. ;) Thanks for sharing the picture of your grandsons. I'd say they definitely look like they are related! Maggie -- I've never had Perrier water, does it taste different than regular water? I will look for it the next time I'm in a store. Thank you in advance for the bookmark! :cb: I still feel groggy so think I will head off to bed. See you all tomorrow! :yawn: |
Good Morning, Flowers! It's a cloudy windy morning in my neighborhood; the weatherman is promising sunshine today. I need to make a grocery run AFTER I clear off the kitchen counter and go through the junk mail pile that has grown too big. The fur bunnies are having babies so should vacuum also. This afternoon is bell practice.
Friday morning I have a funeral for a 54 year old who had MD. She worked at the hospital even though she was confined to an electric cart, and when she no longer could work she came in every day as a volunteer making the rounds of the hospital. I visited with her the last time I worked in the gift shop; it was her birthday and someone bought her balloons so I tied them on her basket for her. She caught a cold which turned into pneumonia, and that was the end. She still lived at home with her elderly parents, but had home health care services. "Gma" -- I hope your knee feels better the more you exercise and move it today. I try to watch the dates on dairy and frozen foods as one of our grocery stores is really bad about that. They have a lot of kids working there and I don't think they pay attention at all. :no: I tried to get in here earlier and couldn't either. How is Fortune doing with his new WW diet? I have my :crossed: that he does ok with it. I need to get my rear in gear and keep moving! I found a stack of recipes that I have saved from magazines and newspapers over the year; need to sort and pitch what doesn't appeal to me now. Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday and enjoy your day! :D :wave: |
Wonderful Cold Wednesday
:wave: GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS :comp:
It is a cool 37 as I type expected to get up to 56 this Humpday in the Heartland. I need to eat a banana for I awoke with a cramp in my leg that hurt like the dickens. AH but my coffee sure tastes good. Our downstairs man's wife is due to have her baby December 19th. Hope all goes well with that since she is diabetic. Will is out to the market and going to pick me up a bottle of olive oil since he used most of mine up on his leather work. He isn't going just for the oil for there is a list of other items we are out of. :p I'm sure he will buy one of the "good" brands of oil. I am sure glad that someone does testing on things of this sort so we can either follow thier advice or not. The bookmarks are in the mail Magnolias. I put a small gold cord on them but you can change it out for a ribbon or tassle if you choose. These dogs love these little bones wrapped with chicken. There is peanut butter in the bones. They look good enough to eat but I am not going to try one. :nono: Cecil gets the droppings from Beanie for he isn't as neat of an eater as Ragg Mopp is. Just like kids. Glass work again this day plus at 3 pm I have an appointment to get my tresses trimmed. Not getting it cut too short but short enough so my up sweep won't droop. Having natural curls helps keep it up when brushed that way for then I don't have to load it down with hair spray ~ just a light squirt. When the wind re-arranges it ~ it goes back together fine. My meds are making it thin on top so I like to keep it short. My gal just got back from Hawaii so I will hear about her fun time she and her husband had there. Today I am ordering our Christmas present of the "only" Indoor Pressure Smoker. I will surely let you know if what they say about bisket is true :crossed: and will cook it in only one hour, which is five times faster than traditional methods. It combines a pressure cooker and smoker in one appliance. An adjustable four-level rack holds sausages, ribs, or a whole chicken. It will also cold smoke :cheese: or fish and can sear food prior to pressure smoking. The internal chamber requires only three to five wood chips to impart authentic barbecue smoke flavor into food and all of the hot smoke is contained inside the vessel until the pressure is released. Looks like a 5-qt crock pot and measures 11 1/2" H x 13" W x 11" D. That, my Magnolia friends is our combined :tree: Christmas present this year. DONNA FAYE Too bad you weren't able to post. :hug: Thanks for the e-mail letting us know. I certainly hope your knee feels better soon. :getwell: Do you have a good knee brace you can use when you get a flare up? They have some real nice easy to use ones on the market now. Last time my knee flared up I looked all over for a brace I have had for years and when I couldn't find it I ordered a new one. I haven't had to use it since ~ but I know where it is. JEAN I would suggest you only buy one small bottle of Perrior water to try it. It has a bit of a different mineral taste than regular water has that some folks don't like but I find it refreshing. In fact I call it a "treat" when I drink a bottle of it. It also comes in lime or lemon flavors and I like them all. Carbinated mineral water which they say is "Sparkling Natural Mineral Water" captured at the source in Paris. I just got an e-mail that you posted today...Sad about that hospial worker but she was sure a trouper when she worked. You have another busy day planned it seems. Have a great day Magnolias :wave: |
Maggie -- You are lucky that Will can/will grocery shop for you! :cp: I know you will have fun with your new smoker. I wouldn't have a clue what to do with one. :dunno: Tomorrow is December 1st, and I need to make a plan to get everything done before the "big" day arrives. I just realized I signed up to host crafty club, in March, when I will be subbing in the church office. :o Hmmm, will have to think about that one. I'm heading for bed! See you all tomorrow. :yawn:

Good morning ladies. Hopefully I can post here this morning. The knee is coming along. I can now walk without the walker and it is loosening up some, but man oh man was I in pain for a couple days. I took some of Jack's muscle relaxer and kept the heating pad on the back of my knee/thigh and I think those two things and the fact I kept getting up and walking on it helped a lot so I am almost back to normal I would say.
I think we are going to have salmon patties for dinner tonight. I made baked steak last night and since Jack's plate was almost licked clean I assumed he liked it. I guess I should get on the scales this morning to see if I have made any improvements yet. I have tried to eat ok, but frankly with the knee, I would grab whatever I could carry back to the chair. I managed a peanut butter sandwich and banana for lunch yesterday and Jack helps me out in the evening by bringing my plate in for me. Today I should be able to fix myself some regular breakfast I hope and climb the stairs and take a shower. I had to just wash up at the sink yesterday and washed my hair at the sink, but it isn't the same for sure. We bought a Keurig coffee maker while in Indiana and just love it. Jack can make a single cup and no waste. They have hot chocolate, teas, and spiced cider flavors too and they aren't bad. I ordered several sample packs and they should get here today along with a carousel to put the little individual k-cups in and a small double insulated cup with a straw I can make iced drinks right from the coffee maker. Jean: The ww doggy diet is going so so. He tries to eat around the hard dog food but can't so he does eat it. I am finishing up his other food, so I put a spoonful of that with a spoon of pumpkin and mix it with dry. He gets enough to eat and when the homemade food is gone, I will give him extra pureed veggies to cover the smell of the hard dog food. That is sad about your co worker. MD is sure an ugly disease and catching cold can very well be a death sentence for people with it. Hope you can get all your holiday ducks in a row. I keep feeling I should do something, but ours is all done already and all I have to do is mail my sister her birthday present in a couple weeks. We are going to have dinner with the Kelly and her family on Christmas Eve but that's about it since I gave Thomas his Christmas presents at my son's house. Maggie: No I don't wear a brace. It wouldn't help with what happens to my knee and then what goes on afterwards. Jack would like to get a smoker. We really like the smoked meats and such, but haven't invested the money in one yet. Well gals, I hear Jack dressing upstairs so I better go. Have a good Thursday. This week sure flew by. Faye |
Good Morning, Flowers! I've been to get my nails done, and now need to keep working on my clutter mess I created yesterday. I found a sack of recipes (a year old :o ) that I've been sorting through -- some still sound appealing while others not so much.
"Gma" -- I'm glad that your knee is feeling better. :cp: That coffee maker is the one I bought that lasted only a couple days here. :lol: Beth really likes hers too. I so wish I were done with Christmas shopping! I did get a list for Ian and Zowie; Ian's is all foreign to me while Zowie's is girlie things that I recognize. I'm hoping she will send me some websites to check out. Is there a chance Fortune will get sick again by eating regular dog food? I hope not. I need to get back to my clutter pile! WW is in an hour. :( I know that's not going to be pretty at all. Have a terrific Thursday, keep warm, and enjoy! :D :wave: |
Titilating Chilly Thursday
:wave: GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS :comp:
On this frist day of a brand new month it is 35 degrees and feels like 22 with the wind chill and they say we will have that temp all day. You know I will be staying inside. :o My smoker will be here in 3 to 6 days and I could be using it on a day like this for out outside smoker would have to work too hard in this wind.:p We will then have 3 different types of smokers but I can't use the stove top one because of the glass top on the range. It is the one we can take camping. Smoked fish is so yummy when out and about. Sure cuts down the points by smoking instead of frying foods. Life is good. Will looked at me and said, "Now this is the last appliance you need, isn't it." I just laughed for something new is being invented even as I type.:cool: At the moment there isn't any I need. I certainly have not replaced all that I used to have before we moved into that motor home and got rid of most things. I don't have nearly as many as I used to but I use what I have. I have decided that I will make that Sees recipe for fudge and place a few pieces in small boxes and give them to my friends. My hairdresser friend asked if I would give her only one piece this year and I said I would give them a box and each gal could have one piece. The recipe makes 5 pounds so I will be able to make up several small boxes of it. I have done this in the past and it has always been a hit. Gifts of food. Speaking of food this is a perfect day to have soup. Yeppers I will thaw some of that noodle soup I made with left over turkey. I will bake a couple of the Rhodes rolls. I bake them in small pyrex bowls when I bake just a two or a few which works out well. This is Will's day to work in the archives at the museum so I will have it ready when he returns this evening. :D It is chilly in here ~ this house isn't real tight for the wind comes in all the nooks and crannies on a day such as this. This time of the year I get so many catalogues. I need to go through them and toss most of them for they are overflowing the space I have alloted for them. There are just a few that I want to keep that have "stuff" in them we want to get after the new year. I found the neatest trays to get for camping in a tool catalogue of all things. They are divided stainless food trays and come with a lid for the tray. The lid is for to keep out the sawdust while a man is working in his shop. Well we could use them for camping or out back eating. Keep the bugs out. And just a few more items for our camping excursions or eating out back things. Anyway some things to be ordered at a later date. Needful things. "Needful" being the operative word. The wind is sure beating the house. DONNA FAYE I am sure glad that your knee is better and you can get around better now. It sure crimps your style to have to just "sit" doesn't it. Sure nice to have a man in the house that will help out like that when needed. How nice for you that you have all your holiday done with and behind you except for a dinner out with loved ones. We are going to start some decorating tomorrow around a bit. I'll light up the lights on my little houses that have christmas lights around the roofs. There are lights on just three of them. Our tree is a potted Fica tree we put little lights on. We have two of those trees in the front room but only put lights on one. We won't do much but it will be festive what we do get done. JEAN ~ SUSAN ~ GAIL Howdy to the three of you this day. :wave: OK JEAN You sneeked in there again! Girlfriend did you get your nails done Christmasie ~ like decorations on them. I cut mine so short because of doing so much glass work ~ I am not going to do that this year. I like to try a new recipe then I will put it in my binder but sometimes I save those I haven't yet tried. There are so many out there that look so good for our program aren't there. Hope you have a good showing at WW this day. Type at y'all later. Too hip, gotta go. :wave: |
Maggie -- Will is so lucky you like to cook! :yes: WW was NOT pretty today, and I knew that before I went. I haven't been for a month (I think). :o I know that writing everything down is the key for me. The leader said the new stuff will be out next week and she thinks we will like the changes. I still don't have PP+ where I like it as well. The sun came out for a half hour at lunchtime and is now behind the cloud cover again. I wouldn't mind the clouds so much if the wind would quit. I need to redo and try to balance my check book. I am searching for a check that should have cleared last month and didn't as far as I can tell. :crazy:

Back To Yack
:wreath:GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS:tree:
I filled up a huge box with catalogues I have receieved recently and they get to go to the trash bin. I go through them on a regular basis but it seems the month of November brought a huge number of ones I don't usually get. I also cleaned off my desk so I could tear off the old page of the large calendar that I use as a desk mat. Got things all neatened up on my desk and in this craft/office room once again. Beanie and Cecil both wanted to help me today in cleaning out the butt hutt. They like to attack the broom also when I sweep in here. Makes it difficult but it is quite funny so I just deal. If I minded I guess I could just shoo them out and close the door. JEAN Don't you just hate it when a check doesn't come in for a long time. Makes it difficult to balance things. Put what ever weight gain you had behind you at this weigh day and go on from here. I wouldn't really mind if I could just maintain for this month of December. It is still windy here and we are under a "weather watch" of some sort. We will be having tacos tonight since our boarder has rented a movie so we will eat in the front room on TV trays and watch it. I had a bit of chicken noddle soup for lunch and ate a power bar. Yes I do like to cook ~ at one time my father hinted that I go to :chef: school. Come to think of it my Uncle Jimmy was the head chef at Harrias (sp) at Tahao for many years. All y'all have a lovely evening. :wave: |
Good morning to you ladies. It is chilly this morning as the furnace has kicked on. I should get my ebill for my utilities today so it will be interesting to see what it will be since we aren't using the ac units and have kept the furnace low.
I made Fortune another sweater and the darn thing is too small. I think the gal that made the pattern is a bit touched in the head. I looked at it before I started as I read the pattern before I ever start knitting and it looked a bit iffy even then, but stupid me knit the think anyway. I will tear it out, but I am too irked about it at the moment. For one thing, to put the leg openings in she had you cast off 6 stitched then next row cast on 6 but when you go to knit the leg openings she wanted you to pick up and knit 30 stitches and there was no way I could get 30 stitches out of that opening. Anyway, it was a waste of time. It is hard to find dog sweater patterns that are knit in one piece and I can't find the pattern I used for the dog sweater I have now that fits him, just is a bit too long and he tends to pee on it. I am going to get it out of the car and wash and dry it and see if maybe it was knit from the neck down instead of vice versa and if so, I can take out some of the rows and shorten it up a bit. My knee is almost back to normal thank goodness. I need to get upstairs and start cleaning again and take a nice hot shower too. I went upstairs yesterday to take a shower and the cold water handle fell off in my hand with the screw. I knew I could make another trip up the stairs to fix it so just washed up again yesterday and Jack put it back on when he got home. I will get a shower this morning for sure!!! Maggie: I think I am catalogue queen as I am sure you are since you order so much stuff online. I get catalogues for black women's clothing lines I guess because of my address, which I find funny. They are definitely not my taste since they seem to sell a lot of animal prints and such. I get tons of food catalogues too probably about 10 kinds that I have never ordered from. The worst is Fingerhut. They keep sending me the darn things saying, "This is the last catalogue if you don't order!" Unfortunately, they don't ever listen to themselves because they keep sending them. :lol: Jean: I wasn't sure how well Thomas would like getting all gift cards, but he loved it. He sure did like his hat, which thrilled me no end and he put his socks on right away. My son, loved Thomas's socks and said, "Man, I really like those." I asked him if he would wear them if I made him a pair and he said yes, so now I imagine I will make him socks for his birthday next year. I just have to get his shoe size. He is a big man, 6'5" and has big feet so I imagine he wears about a 13 or so. I will have to ask his wife. but they are leaving tomorrow for Mexico to have Christmas with her dad for a week so I will talk to her when she gets back. I got on the scales this morning and have lost the 3 lbs I gained over the trip and another lb so am thrilled with that. I want to be down 2 more lbs by my dr appt next Thursday, which will give me a 20 lb lost from my last appt. We are going to get the ball rolling on this female thing. It is so puzzling because right after my appt, I was having issues everyday and cramping up everyday even if I wasn't spotting and such which was a new thing, then we left for Indiana and from then on nothing, no discomfort or anything else. It is so weird, but I want to get this fixed and over with, period. I am tired of dealing with whatever is causing these problems. Well gals, I am going to go and get some work done and have some breakfast and shower. Guess I will work on my sweater some more today. I have a good jump on the front now so it won't take long to finish it up I imagine. Have a great start to your day and a nice weekend. Faye |
Friday Finally
:tree: GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS :wreath:
It is a chilly day of 22 degrees as I type expeced to maybe get up to 40 and we are having a winter weather watch in this area. Gives me chills to think about it. Something has the neighborhood dogs to barking. Sure glad our two aren't in on the song they are singing. I was re-visiting that small book by David Zinczenko Eat This ~ Not That! There are some great eating out hints on what to have saving points by what we choose to eat. Just as an example on page 80 is the Arby's Super Roast Beef for 430 calories and the next page the Market Fresh Roast Beef & Swiss Sandwich for 780 calories. So if and when we go to Arby's I know which I will get.:p Life is good and all about choices. In the storage area of the museum there is a world one war machine gun that is only missing the flash supresser and worth 30 thousand dollars so now they are searching for a supresser which just may be in with some other "stuff" down there. If they can't find it there they will search elsewhere for one. Interesting what one can find on the internet. They have Will doing the research on it and he is having a ball. He has located schematics and books on the thing and ordered them. The director knows Will is the one to do the research and finding things about the guns they have down there for he knows more than anyone there about that sort of thing. Next they will be in search for bullets that were used way back then in the machine. Tomorrow is "open house" and they have inlisted Will to drive the wagon with a two horse team. When they found out that he has driven a stage coach with an 8 horse team they asked him to drive this one. They are giving short hay rides down one of the red brick roads. This town has red brick roads throughout it. They are old and uneven and sure keeps the traffic at a slower pace. :p They are refirbshing some of the old buildings and it sure is looking good. This place has lots of history. Has the first "boot hill." There is an old Victorian mansion type 4 story house beautifully restored that is being used now days for a home for un-wed mothers. I didn't know those existed anymore. Quaint. I received my new Glass Crafters catalogue for 2012 and am going to have fun seeing what is new plus I will visit their web site and see what is new that they didn't put in the catalogue. They are located down in Sarasota FL. One day I would love to visit their shop. I am happy to see they included a "free shipping" coupon for an order over $75 ~ I always order over that certain amount so I will be happy to have free shipping on my next order. I have been using dollars off coupons more lately then ever before. I needed a box to toss all those magazines in and just pulled out the paper and the puffy plastic pillow packing and Cecil was delighted. He has been frolicking in them so I won't pick them up until he gets tired of them. Kids and pets love to play with boxes and packing stuff. I have a book I want to find the time to read. Will got it for me off one of his used book web sites. It is Jesse James, Last Rebel of the Civil War by T.J. Stiles. Ole Jesse is a distant relative of mine, the scandrel. It is carefully researched of his life and times. Lots of history was being made during those times. It is the biography of one of Americas most famous outlaws. James was a southerner, not a westerner; a Conferderate, not a cowboy. This is one book that will take me more than one sitting to read through. It is tiny print and lots of notes and bibliography at the end to get through. I read a book cover to cover and glean all I can from it.:cool: It origional sold for $25 and he got it for a buck. I like looking at the old photographs in it. One in particular caught my attention of Allan Pinkerton astride a beautiful horse. His struggle in hunting the James and Younger brothers ended up being the most serious defeat of his career. Anyway that is the current book I will be reading. :o DONNA FAYE Is this your regular weigh day now? :bravo: for your 4 pounds down. I am so happy for you that you are feeling so much better. Your shower will feel extra good for you when you get in there this time. That is a shame that that pattern was not properely calibrated. That would be totally frustrating. The current building I am working on has the front wider than the back in the pattern. Now just looking at it I couldn't figure why that should be so I cut the back as wide as the front. I can always cut it down if it needs to be done so. There is no apparent reason why I should cut it down though at this point. My point being is you can undo something you are knitting but if I cut the glass two narrow I can't undo it and start over.:( If it is too short I have wasted a piece of glass. Anyway it must be frustrating to knit a pattern that is mis-sized. Fingerhut has not found me since I moved here, thank goodness.:dizzy: They ran a deal once if you were the first in your state to return the envelope ~ didn't have to be an order inclosed ~ to them you would win a huge flat screen TV. I wrote all over the envelope things like "take me off your mailing list." Well, they delivered the TV to our neighbor across the street because we were on vacation when it arrived. Actually he was an UPs driver and kept it in his garrage for us. We didn't want it and it bumped us up to the next tax bracket. Ended up giving it away. But I never get their catalogues anymore. :p Howdy all other Magnolias. :wave: I am off to work on my glass. Type at y'all later. :ginger: |
Good Afternoon, Flowers! The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and it's warmed up to 32 degrees from 3 degrees early this morning. I went to the hospital craft show hoping to find a craft gift for an exchange next week, but it was mostly things like Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Scentsy, a bag business that was new to me, jewelry, and some wood items. Nothing caught my eye so stopped at a church that's having a fund raiser of Christmas decorated jar mixes; I hope whoever gets mine likes microwave cake in a cup! The men were raving about it when we went to the pot luck a week ago. Then I headed to the grocery store to pick up beans and soup for a green bean casserole for the church Christmas dinner tonight. Came home and made my salad for the same doin's before I headed to church for the hospital gal's funeral. It was a full church. Her dad was a vp in one of the local banks so the family has been local for a long time. Lunch was a sandwich because Bob came home earlier than usual, and I dumped beans, onions, and soup in a bowl while talking to him. I have a load of laundry going, need to find a Christmas top to wear tonight, and then think I will sit down and read for awhile.
"Gma" -- :congrat: on losing 4#s since you've been home! :woohoo: That's too bad about Fortune's sweater being too small. A neighbor's dog wears a sweater that looks like a hand towel with a ribbon tied around his neck, and another one under his tummy. There are no leg holes. I'm glad your knee is feeling better and you were able to get a "good" ;) shower today! Maggie -- It will be interesting to see what new tricks WW comes up with next week. I see where they raised the online membership fee $3 for new sign-ups. I wonder if all of the products will have a price increase after the new year. It sounds like the different museum activities are right up Will's alley. :yes: I don't get nearly as many catalogs as I used to; maybe that's because I order mostly toys. :lol: I really need to keep moving or I won't get anything done this afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your day! :D :wave: |
