And I'm back. I got my trash to the dumpster, stopped by and collected a week's worth of mail and put in some outgoing. I went to two banks and finished with the grocery store. I brought all that home and put it away.
Now I'm deciding on whether to nap or do something else. I think a nap is winning.

I like Colt's name too and it suits him perfectly. People always ask if it's really Colton or Coltson or Colter, but nope it's just plain Colt.

We went to the best funeral today. She was 1 month shy of 99 years old and sharp as a tack.

Hope Junie is partying like it's 1999. :)

That sounds like a lovely funeral, Sheri. My grandmother died at 96. I miss her.
I hope Carol is taking time to enjoy herself also.
Sweet dreams all.

Good gracious I KNOW I came in & commented after Tina made this new CH--oh well.

Yesterday was nice--it was supposed to rain---but it held off until around 3:30 & then it only rained for under 30 minutes.

We all had a nice time & I LOVED having the girls around.

Today we took them to church..and then to see my MIL & then my MOM (who did not make the party).. It was just a wonderful wonderful 2 days !!!

Good morning.
How did the little travelers sleep at your house, Carol?
Today I will go shopping for those items I didn't have the energy for on Saturday. It was a two-buggy day but I didn't have the energy.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Helloo.. I am one busy lady...

The sleeping worked out well really..

I bought a little inflatedable children's bed---the child needs to be 18 months (& no more than 48 inches) to use them. It is like an inflatable pool with a mattress insert. Really nice for a child. Henry loved it--- It was only $34.00 at Wal-mart...Then 1 girl slept in my crib, one in my pack N play & one slept in Val's pack N play..worked out well really.

Hello: My Mom had sudden surgery today to repair a hernia. She is doing very well, so I am going on my trip to my DD who is having a baby any moment now as planned.
I will not have my computer with me, so I will not be in touch until I gt back home--say around the first part of November.

I will miss you all...VERY much !!!!

See you as soon as I can bye bye for now wavy

Good morning. I'm doing more weather watching today. It is horrible what the hurricane has done and is doing.
I do need to go out today. I have said that all week and not gone anywhere. But now we need milk so it will happen.

I have been watching the hurricane news as well Tina..so sad.

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving a day early. Our thanksgiving day falls tomorrow as well as my birthday....I had my fill of turkey and cake today.

Yesterday I made crab apple jelly...it is the reddest I have ever seen. I am blessed this year with an abundance of preserves.

Me too...maybe some day. Until then I just can what I am able to with water bath canning.

Today I am prepping all the root veggies from the garden...I should have enough carrots and turnips to last the Winter.

Good morning. Happy Monday.
Sunny, I wish I could store veggies long term. With our erratic temps they just don't store well and rot pretty quickly. .
I will go to the bank and the grocery store today.
Off to make my coffee. I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning. It's cool again.
I am going shopping today. To get the things not gotten yesterday. And bank and things.
I hope you all have a good day.

Well, I've put off the shopping for another day. I'm going to say good night now and cruise around the net awhile before I bed down.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning.

The cold weather has hit...I had GG dressed warm but I froze waiting for the bus this a.m. Time for Winter coats here.

Just the usual things going on here.

Good morning. I am so glad to see you ladies in this morning.
I am so sorry you are cold already, Sunny. I know the cold means a long winter to look forward to. I'm chilled just thinking of it.
I am very happy to hear from you too, Carol. I have Teddy's iPad here but not too sure I could navigate to the forum very well on it.
I really want to go out to the store and bank today. It looks like it will rain a little on the weekend. And Teddy is now out of his bananas and yogurts. So it is time.
I hope all have a good day. I am excited for the rain possibilities for my area. It's been a long time.

I did my banking and shopping, finally. It felt good but the walking is sure hard on me.
I spent part of my evening voting. Well, filling out a sample ballot. There is a lot to do this year, all the measures they tuck into the ballot. A lot of reading.
It really tired me out but when I get my real ballot, I'm ready for it.

It is nice to be back. SIL said he thought I would want some contact with the outside world so he set up his iPad with the forum, my e-mail acct. and Facebook. Mind you I am not very free to get on, but occasionally it is nice.

Very nice to hear from you all again !

70° here but it feels cold. After the extreme heat it will take me a while to get used to this lovely weather.

Good morning. My bladder woke me at 7 hours. That's pretty good.
Well, it looks like our possibility of rain is waning. That's too bad. I was looking forward to it.
I guess I'll do laundry today.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning.

Sheri, I don't think you would fair out to well with our kind of cold.

Yay for a thoughtful SIL Junie.

Tina, voting here is simple...just a check on the person you choose, sad part is that we have no say on anything else.

Went shopping yesterday..meat store/butcher run. Halloween is all bought for and the kids are dressed and ready for the snow....and our wallets are empty. lol

Good morning.
I know I couldn't handle your kind of cold, Sunny. It is too brutal for me. I wish you well and am very glad you got your supplies in for it.
I'm going to take it easy today. I may go out and gas up my van and buy Teddy some fast food.

In for a moment before I have to wake Luke. When his parents get home it will be time for his Awana. (Did I spell that right ?)

I hope you all are fine...and as a side note...I know I could not handle Sunny's cold or the bad roads it brings....

Sunny I'd have to break out my coat for sure. Might even have to wear a hat. I rarely wear a coat here.

Junie, Shelley's gang goes to Awanas. They love it. They learn about missionaries and how they travel to places where the people don't have Bibles and it's amazing for children to realize people at so different.

We went to see The Girl on the Train. Shelley said the book was good. It's a good story BUT the movie added a bunch of sex and a bit of nudity so it wasn't as great as it could have been.

Thanks ladies...About Awana....I know Luke sure loves it, and he told me this afternoon that Jesus took all of our really bad sins up on the cross..Pretty good understanding for a 4 year old.

I wear a coat here in the winter...well most of the winters. I will say in the last several years it can go from 10 degrees to 70 in the matter of days. Why that is realitively new to me is that I am old enough to remember a time when once we put on a coat we left it on until March sometime.

In other news and notes, the cat that lives down in the basement here where the spare bedroom and bath are, has decided after a week+ that she could come and snuggle with me without claws bared. It is sure a nice change.

Sweet dreams, Carol. Have a good night snuggling with the cat.
We had a trace amount of rain today. Not enough. No measurable amount all year. That is sad.

Hi all.

We had heavy rain through the night...first rain in weeks. It stayed milder through the night and the air outside smells so fresh...it is a beautiful day. The sun is shining and the leaves are falling in a flutter. I treasure such mornings like this.

I went to visit Grandboy yesterday. He is now 15 months old. He met me at the door yelling, 'nanee nanee, nums?' I said 'yes, Grammie has treats for you'. He looked at me with big eyes and said, 'an my momma ?'
lol she must be training him.

It's like spring here today and my garden is flourishing. Strange but I like it. I cooked squash for dinner tonight. :) The only thing about a mild winter is the bugs will be horrible in the spring.

We have a black cat hanging around our house. We already have 2 rescue cats and this black cat is mean and fights with them. Not sure how to handle this. I don't want to call animal control but I want him to go away. I'll give him Juniegirl's address. :)

OMG you two.....I am thinking you both can hear me laughing from here, right ....?

But seriously, Sheri, a mean cat is not a good thing to have around. Is there a no-kill shelter in your area ? That might be a way to go....

Tina:so happy to hear that you finally got some rain. Hurrah !!

I will say good night now..sweet dreams to everyone.

It is cold and rainy today...a good day to warm the house with some baking.

That is a good question. Do you freeze a lot of what you bake . I used to freeze a lot of food, but with just the 2 of us and the kids living so far away, I freeze and put up a lot less than I used to.

We just bake bread in the winter as a Sunday project.

Good morning. I must visit the regular grocery today. But that's about it. I may run some laundry through too. That sounds like a plan on a super warm, windy day.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.

There's a nice breeze outside today. Lovely weather. Mr. Sullivan is coming to cut the grass. This will be his 4th time and so far so good and he's half the price as Jesus.

I am happy for you Sheri.

I myself need to go to bed soon, as I need to get up early in the morning....SIL is going back to work tomorrow and Luke is going to school. So I am elected to get the breakfasts going so it can be eaten by 7:00. Good news is the middle boy will sleep for an extra hour or so.

I will say goodnight now...Goodnight....

Sheri, I make bread once a week, enough to last the week. Once a month I make a batch of pie crust also, I roll it in the pans and freeze them one on top of each other. I sometimes also make extra bread dough and make cinnamon or sticky buns at the same time as the bread. DH loves sweets so it is a constant supply and demand situation lol

We are under a heavy wind and rain warning for the next three days...we already lost power last night.

Good morning.
Sunny, I hope your power stays on now.
I am surprised I didn't come in earlier today. But I woke ready to move so I got some things done while the feeling lasted.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Sunny I love bread too but Johnny doesn't so if I make it I eat it ALL. Johnny used to have a customer who had a crush on him and she was always giving him homemade bread. I had a crush on her for that. She got married and there went the bread.

Tina I like getting things done first thing in the morning too. Johnny isn't a morning person. It takes him forever to get started.

The problem is, I only have energy in the mornings these days.
Sweet dreams all. I'm shuffling my way bedwards.

Good afternoon.

Enjoy all the coffee Tina.

Sheri, how many months a year do you cut the grass where you are?...cute story about the bread.

It is pouring out there, the power has flickered twice so far. We are under an extreme rain warning for the next 48 hours. Here I sit as I just mopped myself into the corner lol

Sunny we started cutting grass in April and it's October and still needs weekly cutting. How about you?

Shelley and the Holmes House of Havoc are heading to Disney tomorrow. Ginger and the Wild Boys are cruising to the Bahamas the week of Thanksgiving. My life is so dull.

Sheri has a good question, Sunny....

We too begin cutting grass in late April or perhaps early May...and my DH is still cutting the grass now...at some point he will just stop until next year.

I am soon going to bed..So sweet dreams to you all.

Sweet dreams, Carol.
We cut grass all year long here.
Sunny heats with wood whether the power is running or not. Like I do here mostly. But I haven't for the last year or so.

We just turned on the heat. It's early but even Johnny was cold. The wind is about to blow us over.

Rest up Junie. I'll bet you're exhausted.

It was 90-something today. But it is supposed to cool down over the weekend. And we are to get rain about the end of the week. The news people are very excited about it.
I'm going to go to bed now. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning.

Sheri, We cut grass here from end of May until the middle of September usually but we shovel snow from the first of November until the end of April. lol

Tina is right, we have a wood stove for our main source of heat...and we can cook on it also if needed. We only put in electric heaters a few years ago as a back up if we need to go somewhere.

We are under a 'travel advisory' from the rain....the roads are causing cars to hydroplane.

Hello...I have some time to myself as my DD and her DH took the kids shopping. They tried to leave the oldest home, but he was having none of it..LOL, so here I am.

We used to heat with wood back at "the farm". And I sure do miss it, a lot....I have always found it strange how the temp with wood is warmer than the same temp th gas....oh well..gas it is now....good thing I own a few sweaters.

I am going to make a few pumpkin pies this afternoon. If they do not buy some ready made crusts, I may even be making them...it has been awhile...oh well.

I finally got my shopping done today. You know, the trip I've mentioned all week? So Teddy has his bananas now. He had to live a couple of days with just applesauce, cranberry sauce and OJ for fruit. He's all set for peas and carrots too. So fruits and veggies are taken care of. It is both easy and hard to cater to someone with such a limited diet. But he is adding things once in awhile and that is good. His latest add was salsa.
I got some beef bones to make bone broth with. I've had a craving.

Johnny loves bananas. Eats at least 1 every day. I used to eat them but can't seem to do it anymore. Can't even stand the smell of a banana. Salsa is a great food for Teddy to add. It's amazing he ever even tried it. Good for him.

I like a fire too. Why did everyone change to gas logs?

Pumpkin pies are my favorite. There's a recipe in Novembers Better Homes & Garden for a butter crust that looks like it will be very good.

Glad you finally got your shopping trip in, Tina. Speaking of soup, I think that after Rod's belated birthday meal, what ever he chooses, that is what I will make first.

I like them, but I prefer fruit pies...preferably fresh cherry pie or fresh blackberry pie.......however having said that, could you post the recipe for the butter crust...there is a thread for recipes just waiting.
