Morning gals! Hope you are having a fine Sunday today. It is pretty cool here today and I am heading out to the commissary around 9:30 AM to get that done.
Please keep my sil's family in your prayers. His grandma died Friday night and his poor mom kept it quiet because her son had classes at the university all day yesterday and Thomas had a soccer game. She told Kelly when Kelly went home to give Thomas a bath after soccer to come and meet us at Chuck E Cheese. She was in her 90's but it is still hard to have a loved one pass. She is being buried in Jonesboro (about 80 miles away or so) and we won't be able to go to the viewing etc so I sent a beautiful bronze mum in a fall container with fall accents to Tom's mom and dad's house. She loves outdoor flowers so I thought that was better than cut flowers or sending to the funeral home then having to drag it home again.
We had fun with Thomas at the mouse house {{{{SHUDDER}}}}} but a funny thing happened
. My knee is acting up as you know and it was really bad yesterday. Thomas wanted he and me to get our pic taken together (for you non Chuck E visitors it is a photo booth that is sort of a
/photo pic.) Anyway, this is made for CHILDREN not adults though adults sit with their kids and get pics taken all the time. I sat down and we had a time of it getting into the screen. He kept bobbing his head around. It was funny. We finally had both of us in the screen just in the nick of time and were sitting waiting for them to draw us. Ok, time to go. OOOOOPPPPSSSS, this
bench sits so low, I couldn't stand up because it put too much pressure on the bad knee! I told Thomas to go and get granddad and have him come see me right away. He goes over there and they are having a high old time discussing the pics, talking etc
. meanwhile, I have a line of kids looking
at the fat woman not getting off the darn picture bench so they can give it a go!
I can tell Thomas has told his granddad and Kelly is looking at me and I am
frantically to get her dad. I mean, the kids look like they are ready to throw
at me by this time. He finally meanders over and I told him to help me up. I am lucky I didn't get a ban like you Maggie!
Jean: Jack could be covered in dust up to his eyebrows and wouldn't notice. He says I clean too much! Is there such a thing?????
We have electric heat so don't have a lot of dust, ok ok, truth probably is I clean so much it can't accumulate, I admit it......
I promised Jack as soon as it cools off permanent here I will make him his favorite potato soup. I made chili the other night and it was yummy. Jack loves chili, but won't eat it with beans, tomato chunks or other "foreign"
objects. That had me experimenting years ago to find a chili he would eat that was homemade. I pureed stuff, but it didn't thicken very well that way then I hit on an idea and the chili comes out perfect; tomato soup. I brown my meat and onions, then add my spices and cook them into the meat then add a big can of tomato soup and a couple cans of water and cook it down. It is really good. I like beans so I usually drain a can of kidney beans and just throw some in my bowl and put the chili on top and stir it up to heat the beans a bit!
Course I like cheese and jalapenos in my chili so I dump that stuff in too!
Maggie: Fortune doesn't shed either thank goodness, but the cat sure has this year. It is the first year I have noticed he is shedding. I keep telling Jack that sooner or later Vegas is going to dry up their water supply being out in the middle of the dessert and such huge tourism and building boom. Jack says Lake Mead is too big to worry about that but "I ain't so sure!"
Well, I need to get chores done so better get to it!
If anyone can help with my ticker factory, let me know. I can't get it to take my losses and now it seems I have to redo both things as they aren't even showing, probably because I can't figure out where to subtract the losses from or put losses in! I am sure I will figure it out somehow.
Faye **PS: Had to come back in and post a pic of my three "boys" watching the NASCAR race
Well, you know, it IS hard work sitting in a recliner and watching tv!
