Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm having a great time with Christy!  After Frankie went home yesterday we went in to town and they were having all kinds of sales but the best part was the lighted boats on Carol Creek waterway.  I'll see if i can send Bubble a picture to post for me.

were doing something today that's a holiday thing but i forget what she said it is.  i'll try to report that later.

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

I had a nice nap after the kids left to go back to St.Louis and #1 son & wife stopped by to pick up a couple things. There was a radio or TV show long ago where the Chinese man always spoke of his #1 son............ don't remember what it was but with 2 sons my mind brings that up. Anybody else remember that show?

Amy, you mentioned "leftovers" and I did a big sigh.... I didn't bring ANY left overs home. I also didn't bring the big stainless stock pot or the stainless turkey roaster home as I don't plan to do this again & their new owners got to clean them out. They all fight over the leftovers & my daughter's oldest son had to be with his wife's family and he is the biggest fan of the turkey noodles & stuffing, gravy, etc. so begged his mother to save some for him! Nobody likes turkey but never a morsel left over that isn't taken home to be savored later. When I left I had the girls scrape off plates into a container I could take down to the river for critters.... nobody left anything on their plates! I did have bones here since we cut up the turkeys before taking over, so daughter & I walked those down when they came by later in the afternoon.

I gotta find me something to eat, had a big salad for lunch but not enough protein to keep this body running. Peanut butter & grape jam sounds good. Peanut butter on Ritz crackers with a mug of hot chocolate also sounds good. Something light.

Gotta take my Saturday night shower & wash my hair, lay out clothes for church. Takes a little longer to haul that portable oxygen thing around (along with a purse/tote every bit as big & heavy). So far it's working, I do complain but will use cause it does help.

Sweet dreams & God Bless, love y'all.  Shirley/Tisie

Good morning..

Most of our snow has disappeared,warm weather put the melt on that!

A day of rest here, may start another quilt but we shall see as we have friends stopping by.

Aw...Shirley, well you did enjoy the meal first hand though. My favourite is a dressing sandwich..I know, bread on bread a little bit of cranberry jelly and I am good to go. Another favourite is hot turkey sandwich....oh dear better stop, making myself hungry.

Jane, looking forward to see the photos of Carol Creek waterway

Lloyd, this is a time in both your lives to relax..you both have worked hard enough..

Better get going..

Enjoy your  day and stay safe

Good morning..

Staring out at 30° most of the snow has now gone due to rain yesterday.

Taking Kyle into town to pick up lumber to make two birdhouses for an order, then home to keep an eye on the neighbours furkids . Will can some of the soup I made on Sat and make a pot of baked beans to can tomorrow.

Better get at it.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

It's Monday morning and "I got the crud"....  why that term sticks in my mind I do not know. Back in 1952 when I was a Junior & on the high school cheerleading team, there was a Senior girl that I thought was cute as could be, had dimples clear thru her cheeks & always something original to say. One day she showed up looking totally beaten down, no make-up, hair a mess, etc. She kept saying, "I got the crud".... all day until everyone was saying it & laughing.

Yesterday I didn't feel up to par but not sick until I took a nap in the afternoon. Woke up with a gravely voice & started coughing. That went from bad to worse overnight so I got up just after 2:00am to see if water or anything would stop the coughing. After a couple hours playing solitaire on the kindle I fixed an egg sandwich, piece of cinnamon toast & big mug of hot chocolate & went back to bed for a couple hours sound sleep. Now I have a bowl of canned soup to sip and put 3 of the Hawaiian rolls in the oven to warm & so far nothing is going down in a real "feel good" stage. I may just go back to bed. "I got the crud."  If that is a bad word.... well, I Googled & it has a whole new meaning these days!!! I can go back to bed with the TV in the background & sleep in peace! I am not offending. 

Hope y'all have a great day. Amy, Cas made some bird feeders using pieces of glass to see the seed as it funneled it's way to the tray the birds could sit on. One pair of house finches decided that looked like a nice place to build a nest so Cas slid out one side of glass & they raised a couple sets of babies until we decided they were too messy right by the back sliding door & took it down. I'm sure Kyle has lots of plans in his head.
 

Shirley, having the "crud" is not nice...zaps your energy for sure. We would always get a glass of HOT gingerale and one aspirinjust before bed time. Went to bed right after downing it and gosg did you sweat it out during the night. Plus if we had a cough we would get a tsp of solid honey and you were told to slowly let it melt and no more coughing. There now you know my old time remedies that we had as children. Hope you feel better soon.

Patricia, you are missed..

Ok Jane, it is good you are having a great time with family but pop in and say hello when you get a moment.

Amy, do you think Gatorade will be a good enough substitue?  My mother was also a big believer in the honey (and she added vinegar). A tablespoon of each. I ate half a sweetpotato with a nice chunk of butter, cut up some ham steak into bites & fried in a tad of butter with water so it didn't get too dried out, and a slice of cranberry sauce. Got it down & think I'm ready for another nap! We used to get a lathering of BenGay on our chest & back but don't think I have any in the house, probably do BUT....  Take care, hope you take photos of those birdhouses before someone picks up. Cas had a bundle of thick shake shingles left so that he used for the tops. Kept him busy one winter.

Good morning..

Back to normal temps 21° at the moment no snow in the forecast but rain and high winds tomorrow.

Just working around home today..seems the dust bunnies had a party last night and are scattered about ,so putting the run on them.

Shirley, no gatorade won't work. I am thinking it is the ginger in the gingerale that does the trick and wonder if ginger tea would be the next best to try??? Did you know that gatorade has 11% of ones daily sodium intake in it? Not that great for low sodium diets  for heart patients.

Better get and shake a leg, work won't get done by itself...

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Gingerale? - Be sure it's real gingerale and not just flavoring.

Good Mid Morning on this nov tuesday the 29th. Partley cloudy,they are floating by easey like. we are curently at 59º Have a good day just like you like.

Lloyd

[/font]I'm thinking, I'm thinking.... really, Gatorade is full of salt?  Strange that I never thought to check it for SALT!  Cas used to take it in his golf bag. I don't really like the taste but got a lot of suggestions to drink for leg cramps. Is there a mixed drink that calls for gingerale? I think there is an unopened bottle in the liquor cabinet. Cas kept a little of everything in his office because the guys made their deals in private (buying, selling & trading crude oil), he had a sharp brain & knew where every gallon of crude was that he could buy or trade & what it took to get it to the refinery. Anyway, the booze is in a cabinet & been aging for many more years since he retired. 

The first year or so in England the landlord & wife invited us to "go pub calling". At each pub everyone ordered a gin & tonic. I never like the taste of any (including wine) but didn't want to embarrass anyone by not ordering, so by the time they were pretty well crocked I was stone cold sober & a little concerned about any of them driving. All booze does for me it go straight through & I back & forth to the girls room! I really could drink a room full of sailors under the table without a buzz. From then on I just kept the same glass in my hand the whole evening & nobody knew the difference.

We were in the 50s when I woke up this morning (daylight time wake up)... temp supposed to go down all day. Weatherman warned everyone to take their coats for the trip home tonight. The wind is blowing all directions so watching the leaves blow from one yard to another. Oops, gotta run. Have a great day!

Shirley , just like canned tomato soup has sugar in it. My friend didn't realize it had a lot of sugar,she is diabetic and it sent her on a spin. She now makes her own.....no sugar!

Coralled the dust kangaroos and finally canned the cabbage/vegetable/meat soup and washed the vehicle......that is it for today....I hope.

Good Afternoon,

Shirley, sorry you're dealing with "the crud".  Vicks-Vapo-Rub and Mentholatum were the "chest rubs" in my family. 

My family were "tee-totalers" (no alcohol of any kind!) but Grandmother used to keep a bottle of ginger ale in the fridge and I loved it over ice as a Special Treat when I was growing up.

Gator Ade comments remind me of back in the 80's when Mother was so excited that she'd seen a new drink in the grocery store that she thought might do to serve to her Bridge Club.  It came in cherry, grape, lemon flavors and was called GatorAde.   I knew she was thinking it was similar to lemonade or orangeade.
We kept it on hand for the family athletes so I gave her a small glass to try.  Her next comment (in a disgusted tone):  "WELL!  Why do they keep it with the juice? 

Looks as if Patricia is sending us another Arctic cold spell.  It's currently 68º but supposed to fall into the 30's (with wind chill in the 20's) in the next couple of hours. Glad I've done my errands and am now "in for the duration".

Stay/get well and safe.
  

Sounds like we need a section in the stores for NON-Health Foods..... I'm disillusioned. My brain can't cope with this AND the CRUD. What a world. 

Well, temps are dropping fast now, Callie. I just asked Google & it's 31 with feels like 19 right now. It was 54 when I woke up one of the times this morning, near dawn I think. That wind goes right through, need a layer of cotton, down & then nylon to go out today.

My daughter-in-law has the Crud today so hope we don't have everyone sick at once! I've got to go fry 3 apples that are not crunchy enough to eat. Hate to peel them like that but my tummy doesn't like the peelings anymore. Doesn't take long, just gotta get up and do it! 

Pollyanna found something good about today, the wind finally brought down almost all the rest of the sweet gum leaves. Once those get picked up the little spikey balls will come down & I have a new little cage thing to roll across the yard the picks them up & I can empty it right into the dumpster. We'll see how that goes this year.

I'm trying to hang in at the house as long as Tiger-Cat is here. I hate to have to put her to sleep but she would be miserable having to live where she couldn't go out & had people all around. My son has 2 cats but they get de-clawed as babies so no memories of the free life. Really not any other choice.

Forgot I didn't post, got the apples fried, ham steak "wet fried" to mix with the sweet potato and pickled beets out but not opened yet, I like them cold but not sure how they will go with candied fried apples. My tummy is not up to snuff yet. Enough about my house & me. Hope everyone has a nice rest of the day, sweet dreams & God Bless.

Good morning..

Liquid sunshine here this morning, and will be accompanied with high winds later on.
Taking my friend to the city for her appointment at the pacemaker clinic, she doesn't  like the part where they stop the pacemaker and start it back up. Can't say as I blame her on that! We are leaving early to do a bit of shopping, then appointment and then home.

Shirley explain "wet fried" please,I have never heard that term before.

Callie ,we also have another drink called Ginger beef ,non alcoholic  but not a drink I enjoy. Prefer the ginger ale  and always keep it on had for when we have colds or stomach upset.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Sure, Amy.... you know how dried out ham can get when heating in a skillet... well, instead of real oil or grease I use a tad of water & watch close as it cooks down, drop a little butter in for a fresher flavor & quickly turn off the heat. I like ham but not it's fat so does get dry.

We have bright sunshine this morning, windy but not as bad as yesterday, but "baby, it's cold out there!"

Need to fix breakfast for the 2 of us (Tiger only drinks her Fairlife milk).

Been watching flock after flock of birds flying out to the fields. Lots of cormorants that winter at the lake created some years ago about a "mile section" from my house. The managment at that lake/complex tried to scare them off but as long as the trees stand around the water, the cormorants will stay, and the eagles, herons, etc. I got up early in my younger years to take photos with early light & evening light, but that was before the latest camera with the extra long zoom. That was when Jack (remember Jack & his goldens.. Mimi was the last?) came up with the Panasonic Lumix with the super long zoom.  A bunch  of us enjoyed Jack's dogs as well as his photographic skills & camera smarts & bought cameras he recommended.

All of a sudden the air is still, trees not moving. We didn't get any snow at all. Time to start this day. Wishing everyone a day of satisfaction! 

Good Morning everyone. we have clear skyes and 61º here this morning.Ihave just been up about 30 minutis.
