Well it posted!

Good Morning to myself and anyone else who comes in.  Have a good day!

Good morning..

We didn't get the nasty weather that was called for.   We did gt a wee bit of snow and now we are back to oh my it's chilly + 6F. One day closer to Spring.

Not sure what is happening today...lots to do but will it get done???

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Checking in & heading to bed. We've been going thru the stuff from the motorhome, dividing what goes camping with the boys & what stays here in the house. The 3 kids have given me so much stuff plus the extras I thought I had to have...       ... lots to dig thru.

Kinda bitter windy day here but mostly sun out. To warm up a bit tomorrow. Daughter went to the store-s (several) today & was shocked at the mass of people out. Everyone is ready to sit down & cheer the teams on tomorrow.

And that, boys & girls, has been MY day!  Sweet dreams & God Bless, love y'all.  Shirley/Tisie

Did a lot of paper sorting, went to the recycling, did a little cooking, took two walks by myself (no Cooper today) and did some other odds and ends.  I'm off to the haystack!  Sleep peacefully and God bless y'all...those of you who checked in and those of you who were off in the "who knows where"!

Looks like everyone is working at getting rid of outdated paper work. Seems there's always more to go through.
I'll be watching the game tomorrow like most others. My neighbor is flying a KC flag so I guess I know where his hopes are. I don't have a Fav, so will just enjoy watching.

Good Morning to myself again and to you, Rick, and to anyone else who comes along!  This is gonna be a quickie because I have to get a shower and get ready for church and I have a couple of things to do before I do that.  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

P.S. TOMEREADER, I posted the rice pudding recipe.  Did you see it?

Good morning..

Starting out at +2  and I sure hope the sun warms the day up! Yesterday  we took off ,leaving all the work behind to visit the kids. Roads were wet but good and little traffic. Enjoyed our visit with them and furkids..even got a hug from Luna the Great Dane x Great Pyrenees. Now if one could say a dog is a great hugger....she is!!She hangs on, moves back a bit looks you in the ete ,then goes nose to nose and comes in for the hug!

I need to do a few things but other than that it is a day of rest here.

Jane, David found Crookneck squash seeds and I now have some to plant. This is a summer squash which is good on its own or fried up with onion, celery,tomatoes and you can add meat if you wish. I like it without the meat and in a bowl with a piece of bread to mop up the juice.

We need to hear from Lloyd,,,he is missing.

Time to get a move on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Up and "slugging" along. Overcast and still not very bright out, but not snow or rain - good. Have to get anything that needs to be done, done - before game time.
Have a good day all.

AMY, it was crookneck squash seeds I sent you a while back.  This is the pumpkin that makes the best pumpkin pie.  I learned that from my DADDY.  I always can some when it's out and fresh in the Farmers' Market.

I'm back from church, changed my clothes and I'm going to have lunch and read the paper and then I'm going for a walk.  No Cooper...just me and my shadow!

Hello, again RICK.  Hope you have a good day!

Good morning from the Interior; all I can say about our weather is it's the same, either plus or minus six, and an increasingly remote chance of snow to provide traction on these icy roads. We can only keep pressing on, hoping for April and May and warmer weather.

Jane, your crookneck squash is a winter squash and very good! This is a summer one and is also tasty. You pick these when small and you can hang them on your fingers as you pick.

Oh yes, AMY, I know those squash, too.  We just call them "summer squash" around here.  They're very good!

I'm off to the haystack.  I have to be ready to leave for my Dr. appt. by 7:45 a.m. tomorrow.  That's gonna take some doing!  I'll have to be up and attem by 6 a.m. if I want to get a shower (i do) and have some breakfast (I do) and get the bed made and the dishes done (Do I?)

Have a good night. And, as my Gramma used to say to us, "Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite"!  When I was little, I didn't really know what that meant and one time I said to her "there aren't any bugs in my bed to bite me".  She answered, "That's good! Sleep tight!"

Lloyd Hamond...
...where are you? this is not like you to go AWOL, i hope and pray, not back in that hospital...

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm off to the showers to get ready for my early Dr. Appt.  I hope that, by the time I get back, LLOYD has checked in! 

JACKIE, nice to see you in the Soda Shoppe!  Have a good day Everyfriend!

Good morning..
Brrr chilly again this morning. Yesterday was such a lovely day I think we got spoiled.
Today , off to the dentist then scoot back home, our neighbour has an appointment in the city and won't be back in time for Rex's pill. We are only an hour away with my appointment so may grab lunch out and head home.

Noticed crows coming back and dgos are losing their winter hair, could it be Spring is right around the corner?? An early Spring would be nice as long as the snow is slow to get away and not cause flooding.

Jane, I agree with the "very good" I could just eat a bowl of them and be happy. I think I will let one or two grow big and collect the seeds.

Shirley, are you finished with unpacking the camper van?


Better get a move on..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Lloyd Hammond...
...of course i miss you and your posts...glad to see a posting from you today...
Jane...
...sending a wave to you..

Lloyd  ---  Both of your posts this morning posted OK. They are both back a couple of posts.

The day went well...despite the fog. I have to admit
 even though it can make the roads slippery it is also so pretty on the trees!! Pines wearing white lace and maples and  oaks wearing chenille. I am good for another 6 months and the new girl was very good!

Back home I went over gave Rex his pill then outside to brush him! I got enough hair for another dog!!! Callie,bless her heart sits in the window and waits for us to come back in and get her tummy rubs and a treat!
I posted a recipe that is a little late for game night but sounds good. My son shared a photo of the chicken wings he/they did and said he used baking powder to make them crispy. I have heard of using cornstarch but this was new on me.

Putting feet up in a bit and let the night go by.

This has been a very busy day and I'm beat right down to my toenails!  And I still have to do one more walk with Cooper before it gets dark.  Frankie worked today 11:30 t0 8 and that's an unusual day for C. and me!

I made a new egg dish today and that's what I had for supper.  I had to try them.  You mix eggs cooked sausage, onions and flavorings in a bowl and then divide it into my big muffin tins and bake in the oven.  The one I ate was delicious and I'm betting the rest of them will be good too.  The recipe made 9 of them! 

After my dr. appt. we stopped at the hardware store and bought bird seed, a small humidifier to run in the bedroom at night and had a couple of house keys made.  Then we hit the grocery store and I got a few things I'm out of.  Then we came home and I dealt with all the stuff I bought and made the egg cups and took a walk and did some putting away and tidying up and now I'm "tard" and ready to sit around.  I'll see you all tomorrow.  Have a peaceful night

AMY, what did you do with the new doggie that came off the old one?

Good evening everyone. well i went to VA and got pictuers taken of my head both with die and without, they said would be a coupp le of days before the docter would read them and tell me what the results are.

Lloyd

Jane, since Rex is a Golden he has lovely soft blonde fur, if it was Spring I would have left it outside for the birds to line their nest. Instead I put it in a bag and hung it on their door.

When we were at David's  he sent us home wih two packages of instant potatoes.. one is loaded baked potato with bacon,sour cream and onions...can't wait to try that one!

Did you post the recipe for your new egg dish?

I have friends that have an Irish setter and use his fur left over after grooming in weaving and other sewing projects.

Good morning...

Happy Valentines day..

I woke to find a huge wooden heart Kyle had made and signed by Kyle Babe and Jesse!! We will have a nice dinner here at home tonight instead of dining out.

We are to see the sun again today ,then the next couple of days we are to get rain.
Kyle has blood work today, then home to chase dust bunnies.Will finish off the baked beans I made yesterday by putting them in a cast iron pot and let slow bake in the cookstove.

Patricia, the Irish setter wool would be soft and rich in colour!! When we had sheep I had (notice had) thought of learning how to weave their wool. I just didn't get around to it with so many other things on my plate.

Time to get going..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

And, it makes lovely knitted sweaters, too, Patricia.  Depending on the kind of dog, it makes fur to be spun for yarn that is as soft as cashmere.   I never tried it on my floor loom or even in knitted sweaters but I have used sheep wool that still has the lanolin in it.  I always loved using it because it made my hands feel so soft and smooth.

Your egg and sausage dish sounds good, Jane.  David is particularly fond of sausage so I know he would like it.

Amy, I use the Idahoan instant potatoes all of the time.  We especially like the ones with cheese or sour cream and chives.  They are all good and saves throwing away potatoes that have sprouted before you can use them.  Also, they are really good to thicken soups.  Just sprinkle them in until the soup is as thick as you like.  I hardly ever buy fresh potatoes any more....I hate having to throw them away because I didn't use them soon enough.  And, since I don't have to peel them it helps my aching hands.

Take care, All.

Phyllis, I agree with you on throwing out sprouted potatoes.  We also don't eat them fast enough and if I do have any fresh potatoes that have sprouted I will plant them if weather is right. For the most part now I can potatoes and now know that the white ones have more starch in them and red have less. My neighbour is now canning potatoes for her hubby that is now diabetic and since you since all the starch(carbs) away she has peace of mind that he is not getting too many carbs. I must admit I was amazed at the amount of starch in the potato...

Thanks for that information, Phyllis. Now I have a question for you. My mother had a floor loom for years that my dad built to her and her mother's specifications. I remember it took up almost all of the sewing room and was on the floor. Is that similar to yours? I have never seen another other than hers and my grandmother's, so I don't know the proper term. It was made of a light white wood, perhaps birch.

I cannot use instant potatoes due to their chemical dehydration process, but I generally have a small amount, no more than four or five at a time for specified use, and if any sprout, I give them to a friend who saves them in a cold house for next year's crop.

Amy, yes, the items she makes from Autumn's hair are lovely!
