Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Shared from my post in Norm's...... Just a quick check in to let you know I am still alive and kicking‼️

We have enjoyed a wonderful trip.  Going to the funeral on Saturday and seeing family and friends was so nice.  What a shame these events only occurs at sad times but what a w day of celebration of life we had🙏🙏

On Sunday we left Naperville heading East thru Chicago to Indiana, then turning north for my dream vacation of going to the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island. As we passed through the Grand Rapids area I thought of Norm, Dot and Mary Ann.  I always hoped seeing them would included with this drive.  😩😩

We enjoyed our day on the Island on Monday in spite of all the rain.  When I was rocking in the rocking chair on the beautiful veranda, the sun came out for a few minutes and it was delightful.  Yesterday, Tuesday we drove across the Mackinaw Bridge and entered the UP of Michigan. What a beautiful area. 

Our time is winding down.  We are in Green Bay now and of course we stopped as we entered Wisconsin to buy some cheese curds!  We visited Lambeau Field.  They only do tours on Friday and Saturdays of home game weekends😩😩. This IS definitely not a home g@me weekend @ the p@+k will be in London. I wanted to get inside to spread a little Bronco juju around, ya know🤪🤪🤪🤪

I hope you all are doing well.

Good Morning,

Jenny, what a delightful trip you're having!  That area was on my "Travel Bucket List" but I "aged out" before I could get there.  :(
I agree on sad occasions being nice for family get-togethers.  Makes for good memories.

Shirley, Patricia, etc.  I probably sounded as if I don't like cats.  I do like them but not when they're allowed to wander around the neighborhood using flower beds for bathrooms and stalking around bird feeders.  Those who rescue the feral ones and KEEP THEM INSIDE are to be complimented.

Neighbor and I spent a lovely evening on her patio.  We've both noticed a lot of tiny bees around her fountain and my hummer feeder.  (I'd had to have a "discussion" with one who insisted on "supervising" my filling suet feeder and cleaning bird bath earlier in the day and she had had several who didn't like her watering the flowers next to the fountain).
They've emptied the hummer feeder and I plan to bring it in for the season when it's dark enough for the bees to call it a day.  We're advised to take those feeders in around the first of October anyway - to "encourage" the hummingbirds to migrate.

Son/dil are currently at the beach in Orange Beach Alabama (dil says you step one way and you're in Florida - step the other way and it's Alabama).  She posted a picture of the beautiful Gulf water with a clear blue sky overhead and said the cloud bank on the distant horizon was the hurricane.  Fortunately, it won't be anywhere near them - although they have had some wind on the waves.  Hope their flight home isn't affected - although I don't think they'd mind "having" to stay a few days longer.  ;)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday.

Good morning...

Shiver me timbers it is cold out there 24° at the moment.  I put the pepper plants that were in pots in one of the trugs with a cover and hope they did survive the chill.

Quilt delivery this morning then home to scare the dust bunnies...can I call them bunnies when they are made of dog hair???

Jenny, sounds like you are enjoying your time away.

Patricia, there are people out there shouldn't own animals. I do think the penalty should be stiffer for them abandoning pets. I have enjoyed many an unwanted pet , some purbred from people that didn't want them once they were out of the "cute" puppy stage.

Jane ,we have seen a few  skunks on the road...dead skunk on the middle of the road. Also a lot of racoons.

Better get it into high gear and go

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It was down in the low 40s overnight and will only reach 65º today.  I know, AMY, that would feel warm to you but it feels a tad chilly to me! 

We went to the Farmers Market yesterday and I got a pumpkin to cook for pies or whatever and green peppers and 2 breaded haddock filets.  I made the filets with some fried sweet potatoes and canned corn and I have 3 more meals to go!  I'm definitely having one of them for my supper today and maybe freeze the other two for a couple of quickies later!

I have the pumpkin cooked and cooling right now and maybe I'll make a pumpkin pie later and freezed the rest of it for other pies. 

AMY, good new name for "Jim's Egg Thingys".  I'm probably going to be calling them "Jets" from now on!  I'm going to run that name past him and see what he has to say about it!

Cooper arrived at 6:45 this morning and will be here until around 4.  She is off tomorrow and is thinking about coming over to give him a bath.  She only has a shower at her apartment and she tried it once there but says it's too hard to keep him in there when he's soapy and wet.  I don't mind her doing it here.  I get another visit.

I read everything but my timer is about to go off and I have to get back to work.  Callie, I think of you and how we sat at the window and watched your bird feeder every time I look at my feeder. 

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

Jane, your mention of pumpkin brought back a story Bri told me. Canned pumpkin was on sale so she was stalking up on it 10 -12 cans of the pumpkin. An oldr gentelman( likely our age) saw what she was doing and said someone is going to be baking. No, she told him they are for my dogs. She saw the questioning look and told him.....the pumpkin keeps them regular!! :2funny:
I couldn't help  but wonder did he buy some pumpkin!! ;D

Good morning; we're on a warming spell presently, out of the thirties with 42 for our overnight low. But it won't last long. I noticed yesterday morning that our leaves had begun falling, and our overnight frosts were extensive. Today, with our warming trend, there was no frost, and the snow stayed above 2000 feet in the foothills.

I've read of the effects of hurricane Ian which has devastated Florida and will move further through the south next week. There has been a lot of devastation and wild videos, not the least one showing sharks brought by the storm surge into the streets of Naples. Florida and thrashing in the waters.

Patricia, I have been watching the news and the devastation in Florida! Makes me so sad to see what has happened....no water...no sewer and no home! I can't imagine how long it will take to rebuild.

Lloyd, I remember as a child I sat by my Grandpa in the livingroom while he was on a bed...he wasn't well. Everyone was out in the kitchen ,Grandma and Aunts and they were talking about Grandpa. One thing was said and I looked at Grandpa (he was hard of hearing, no hearing aids) he looked at me and raised his finger to his lips...........he had heard what was said but didn't let on to them!!! Wasn't long after he passed but I never forgot the raised finger nor the twinkle in his eyes.

Good morning..

Woke to a blanket of frost...28° at the moment.

A bit of work outside then work inside today.

Patricia, what took months to build has now been reduced to matchstick in minutes. Wind,water and fire always hold the upper hand in this.

Jane, how was your trip to the market?

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Ian is nearly on top of us but, thankfully it is not as strong as when it hit Fla. It is wet, windy and unpleasant.  We haven't lost power yet, anyway.

When daughter is in town she keeps ALL of us busy! No nap today & I am dragging. Had/have another water leak in a copper pipe in the basement. Son & wife's best friend had similar leak a couple weeks ago & the plumber she used said the city had done something causing pressure on "old copper pipes" (this house was built in mid '60s) & this is the 2nd copper pipe to have leaked "out of the blue" recently.

Got the de-humidifier & big fan running to dry out the wall & floor where the "drip-drip" has been going on for ??? long. Day started out real good, got the pool cleaned & done by 10:00 am & was perking along until I went down to the sewing room to look for thread to hem a pair of slacks for youngest son. The store he usually shops at (same as his father) closed as well as his dry cleaners that will do any alterations or repairs for him, so I volunteered my services. His father used to buy a new suit or slacks, have them altered & bring home to me to do a little fine tuning... like less than quarter of an inch shorter or longer on one leg & the waist band had to fit perfect because he didn't like a belt to do anything but rest on the belt loops, no puckers.

Anyway, I was digging through several thread baskets & kept smelling a musty odor... & THEN I noticed the parquet floor was buckled in one spot, the floor was wet & "heavens to betsy"... there was a wet spot on the wall/sheetrock! It has been a very slow drip for a long time. #1 son came right over & diagnosed the problem  & managed to stop the drip, but I'm not good with all the extra to-dos right now and feel awful even letting my son take time out of his busy life to do for me.

Tomorrow I'll be heading to the basement to check the drip & then shower & wash hair before anything else. Soon as stores open I will take that pair of slacks to the nearest fabric store to match thread, then back to get the youngest son set up, he volunteered to vacuum the spiders that have covered the brick all over the house. I hose them off in the front but don't want all the icky stuff to wash into the pool. Then I have to pick up a friend on the other side of town to go the the little town about 30 miles beyond where we took paintings a month ago. This was just show, not sale. We have to pick up in a one hour period because the art guild is setting up another show the same day only opposite side of town. I'm not doing that one, thank goodness.

And now I am off to bed before anything else happens. My heart goes out to all the people dealing with the flooding, I think I'd just sit down and cry! Hugs to all. Phyllis, stay safe. Announced today that the bridge I use to go from my house, down Back Bay Blvd will close this week for over a year, for repairs. It has always been crazy to get across the river but will be a nightmare to have that bridge shut down so long.

Sweet dreams & God Bless. Love y'all......Shirley
