Well Madi put up the small tree so the holidays have officially begun here.

I am making bread this a.m. , white and brown....then we are heading out to collect some cedar branches to make our wreath. It is a mild day today so GG and I will finish the outdoor decorating as well now that I can fit my oversized Winter boots on. The are a size larger so that I can wear extra socks....so they fit well with summer socks on at the moment. lol

Have a good day all.

Good morning. Today I will finish what didn't get done yesterday.
It is cooling down again. I am torn. It can stay where it is all winter and I'll be happy.

Val & family are going straight to the party this evening. My pie is done, and I am about to take a nap while my towels are in the washing machine.

Here today it is in the high 60's.

Thanks, Tina--we did have a nice time.

I did not help with the girls like I thought I should. But Valarie thought it would not be worth the fight (they wanted their Momma as they have colds) but they were only to glad to have me help them when we were back home here at my house. Not to mention I have cheerios to give out...

I think perhaps everyone is going to sleep rolz not me.

I am glad you had such a good time. And happy you had some time with your grands, Carol.
All I had for dinner, vegetables. It was all I wanted. Although I had them cooked and buttered.
Sweet dreams all. I'm going to bed soon.

We went to church, and then took the kids out to eat...they are on their way home and we are here "talking" about moving down by them.

I am getting veiled threats on how things should be done--he thinks he is being clever, but I am not happy..all the while I act like he is getting away with it....

Junie do you have Christmas early so the ornaments can be unwrapped and hung on this years tree?

I got my decorating finished yesterday. This may be the earliest I"ve had it completed in a few years.

Sunny homemade bread is so delicious. Johnny used to bring a loaf home from a customer who had a crush on him I think but she eventually stopped making it for him. Sometimes I think it"d be worth him taking her out to a movie if it"d get me a loaf of that bread.:)

I try to give the ornaments just after Thanksgiving so they can put them on the tree for the current year.

I just gave my oldest DD & her son their ornaments yesterday. I will mail my east coast Grands their ornaments when their Mom lets me know that their tree is up. we are skyping with them tonight. THAT may be what tonight's skyping is about. we shall see.

Hi all.

The kids are all here, they slept here last night...we have Xmas pics at Walmart after school. We'll pick up GG and head out to finish the Xmas shopping. It will be a long but eventful day.

Have a good one.

yes we should skype ! That would be grand fun ! I will message you my name, etc..


Yes we just chatted, (the boys were so wound they could not stand still to visit for more than a few seconds at a timer) but they had just put up their tree yesterday, and I think she wanted me to know that the tree was up.

WE so badly wanted to tell them that we would be there for Christmas, but you know kids, they would be asking their parents every day was that the day we were going to be there,,, PLUS the parents of one of my SIL's child hood friends were scheduled to come for Thanksgiving but ended up not being able to be there, so I did not want them to be disappointed 2 holidays in a row---

I do not know where the cyber-Monday bargains were but I did not see them..(sad but true)

we did get all the light fixtures and ceiling fans cleaned in the house today though..THAT was a big load off of my mind.
Then I had a 2 hour nap---THAT was nice.

I put ribs in my slow cooker for supper. when they were fall apart tender, I put them on a rack in the oven, dried them out a bit and then put BBQ sauce on them. They were tender and tasty--YAY !!!

Pics were taken...it was quite an ordeal. There was only one pic of the two grands together since Grandboy declared, "I no yike Deedee' and refused to sit with her. Of course we all started laughing then he added, "I no yike Mommy too". haha

My Xmas shopping is almost finished as well.

Tina thanks--well I would not go so far as to say him being home is growing on me, but like we tell people who ask (all do it seems) we are both pleasantly surprised & so far so good.

well one picture of the 2 grands are better than no picture of the 2. he will "yike" his sister one day, even if it is not real soon.

I now have 6 of my 7 Grands Christmas shopping done as well. Once I give my DD some cash for her Baby (Ian) I will be done with the 7th.
Amazon is a wonderful thing..and this time of year is extra good..Free shipping !!

The Garmen is now updated. We got free updates for life with this one....

G'nite Tina. Sweet dreams to you all.
I finally remembered to come in & say goodnight. "Do I get points?"


Tomorrow I have a morning Drs. appt. (just a check up type of appt) so I will see you all when I do.
I wish you all a great night's sleep & a wonderful Wednesday.

It is snowing a bit, the kind that has flakes about an inch across....it is so pretty as it falls. I won't be saying that in a month's time lol

I have Xmas under control as well, just a plastic sleigh to pick up for GB(there was no room with the kids in the back seat)....and another item for GG then I will be done. DH and I will pick up a little item for each other just to put under the tree so the kids see we get something also.

Have a good day!

Junie, I've never done ribs in the crock pot. Are they good if you don't transfer to the oven after? The other day I put a whole chicken with potatoes wrapped in foil in the crock pot and it was delicious.

Sonny, I can't imagine snow now because it's 61° and sunny here today. Beautiful blue sky.

Hello! Here it was 72+F yesterday. today it is 53+F. we are all going to be sick next week. I wish the weather would make up it's mind....

The President is going to be in St. Charles, MO this afternoon at 2+ pm. It is a good thing I had my Drs. appt. in the morning today and we did not get caught in that traffic.

Sheri: I tasted a bite of the ribs before I put them in the oven...they were fall apart tender and were very tasty. of course I seasoned them after they had thawed. (I put them in the slow cooker frozen.) I think they would have been a yummy dinner with mashed potatoes & say a salad.

Hi all.

It's a whole 14*F this a.m. but no wind so it's not too bad.

Parent-teacher appt. after lunch today followed by a few errands. I'm making a cold chicken/pasta salad at the moment with devilled eggs. It's a good 'go-to' meal when I won't be home at supper time.

You ladies have fun on your errands. I have a kitchen to clean, clothes to wash & a few small things to wrap---then I will either go get a blood test or put up my small Christmas tree. Val thought that would be better with the kids being around it

Gosh Sunny so cold already. Here very warm and sunny outside. The bad side is that the Asian ladybugs are bombarding my house.

One or 2 lady bugs here...and yes they ARE icky & nasty.

I used a marker this afternoon to mark out writing in a shipping box--it is currently in the garage & yet the house smells bad--that is super yuk !

That is a great Christmas Graphic, James--thanks

I agree...and the snowmen are so cute.

We had a few Asian lady bugs here this Fall....I heard they stink when crushed.

I am still on budget with Christmas. I was smart last year and started putting aside $10 a week in an envelope right after. One doesn't notice that little amount and it adds up nicely. I heard on the news that one should never spend more than 2% of our 'gross' income on Xmas. Great advice that we follow.

Good morning.

DH just got called in to work...the roads are like a skating rink from the freezing rain that fell through the night. I am hoping the weather clears so that we can take the grands out to cut our Xmas tree grin

Christmas trees are fun, Sunny.
Good morning. I got caught up in the news this morning. I will go out today and get some things done. The good news is that I've gotten a great deal of my outdoor labor completed with the help of my new worker, Mark. It has been tough this past year or so.
I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

I hore Carol's having a lovely time. And safe travels when her weekend is over.
I've been catching up on the news again. So I am very late starting my day again. But today is going to be lazy. I'm planning on hair cutting and such today.
I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday.

I am so glad that you have a good worker to help out Tina...it must be a relief.

We went to cut our tree yesterday, Grandboy was so confused over the whole adventure. We took the tree home, put it in the stand to thaw....only to find out my stand was leaking. Thankfully my SIL lent us hers since she will be going to her son's for the month and won't be decorating at her house.

So a new stand gets added to next years 'to do' list. I plan on getting DH to make one from steel.

Hello everyone !! I'm Baaaaack !!!

Thanks Tina for the well wishes. we are home safe & sound. AND we had a wonderful time !!!

Sunny-I am so glad that you got your Christmas tree cut and in the house. I do agree..a hand made Tree stand will be ever so much better---and will last much longer as well.

a few of us were going to take my mom Christmas shopping tomorrow but it seems my sister is not feeling well, so that will happen some other day...perhaps.

Hi all.

GG was up all night with her head in a bucket...the fevers have finally broken. She certainly seems to collect virus's.

We did get the tree decorated though.

Yes I had a good time at ceramics. I finished a 3 pc. Caroling snowmen set. Now I have to wait to spray them with sealer.
Now I am on to putting chalks on my duck bloomer. Then it will get sprayed too.

That fire and two others are many miles NW of me. And one closer to the SE. But I woke from a nap to a helicopter flying over my house. So Jonni went out to check for smoke. There was a semi overturned at the very local junction of the 15 and 215 that started a fire. One house burned. It looks as though they have that in hand.

You know what white chalks are for say a chalk board right ?? Well chalks for ceramics are sometimes called pastels as well. They are basically colored chalks that one uses with your fingers or very short bristles brushes to color in the creases of ceramic items, or to highlight say a hat.
Example: On my latest project (3 snowmen carolers) I put a blue chalk in the folds of the snow bodies where the 3 carolers meet, then I repainted them with white to tone down the blue color. This leaves but a shadow of color. Then I but a darker purple chalk over the lighter color purple on the raised areas of the lady caroler's hat. Then I moved onto the mans neck scarf & put a darker green chalk on it over the lighter green I had painted it.
This chalking gives the painted piece dimension so it looks more real. Then when I spray it with a clear sealer the things I have done will be set and permanent.

I am soon off to bed.sweet dreams to you all.

Hi all.

Madi shared her 'bug' with me yesterday....thankfully I feel better this a.m.

DH just got called to work, it snowed about 6 inches through the night and is now turning to rain. It will be another mess to deal with. It's 4 a.m. and I can't fall back to sleep.

Good morning. It's much less windy today. Only 59 mph gusts. I hope that stays and they can get a handle on the wild fires today.
Your painting sounds lovely, Carol. I would like a picture when it is done. Please.
I hope your house is rid of the crud, soon, Sunny.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, Wednesday.

Good morning. I hope Barb is having fun!
to need to shop today or send Jonni out. Or something like that.
There was one fire about ten miles away but they got it out after a couple days with only a few garages burning. There was one about a mile away with only a few acres and one house going up. I feel very lucky so far.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

Good afternoon. Neither of us went out today. There is always tomorrow.
Having the humidity so low keeps me thirsty. Single digits do that as well as drying my skin out.
I hope everyone had a decent day.

Yes, John retired and we went on a long family vacation. When we got back a friend offered him a job and John took it. He would have driven me nuts at home all day long. He worked up until he became ill.
Sweet dreams all.

Bless the Friend, Tina......Rod says he needs a part time job but he is the type to NOT try something new----and in order to work, I think it will have to be something different.

I finally found some of my Christmas Decorations. It looks to me as if I just threw things in various boxes & called it good enough----so decorating this year is taking more time.....

I am headed to bed as soon a the small load of towels is dried.

Sweet Dreams !!!

Rod should try a little home based welding set up.

I made 150 egg rolls, taco, donair and pizza rolls. 3 kinds of brownies, two pans of date squares, butterscotch squares and 4 dozen scotch cookies yesterday. I did dishes for two hours last night lol

Today is just the gingerbread men baking for the kids to decorate tomorrow. grin

Good morning !

Sunny, Sounds like your family is going to be very happy. It made me hungry just reading all that you made. YAY for you.

I hope that you get all of your errands done today, Tina. Safe travels.

I stayed up until 1:30 last night. I have the decorating done for this year.

WE are running more of my DH's errands today as well.

Good going Junie.

We went to Walmart last night to finish up the Xmas item lists. This year we bought a printer for our gift...cheap and much needed thumbup

Today we go to DD's so the kids can decorate her tree. It is calling for a snowstorm tonight as well.

Hi all.

We never got to DD's to decorate the tree. My B-I-L's mom passed away and I needed to keep an eye on a few kids so that they could go make the funeral plans. She had cancer that spread everywhere...her suffering is done.

It is storming out at the moment....DH just got called to work, so it will be a day for staying home for GG and I.

Just reading to catch up--Sorry for the loss in your family Sunny.

Sorry as well that DH got called out to work.

I just finished making out Christmas cards. It started out as cards for the little ones. Even the 3 girls love getting cards....but I just kept going----So now after I go buy a few cards for my boys on the east coast (their Momma does not like glitter, so) I had nothing for them here) I will be done.

Sweet dreams all.

Your cards are probably much appreciated, Carol.
It is so dry here that I wake in the middle if the night parched. I need to get up, have a drink of water and use some chapstick. All things I've done 3 hours ago.
Sweet dreams all, again.

Correction: 3-4 hours ago. I was tired. *last night
Today I'm paying my property taxes. Very blessed that I can.
Have a great day all.

I haven't done much shopping this year. We pay for the trip we take with my girls and their families so we don't buy them much more.

Cold here.

Sheri, that is a great gift to give.

I hope the wet weather hit soon for you Tina. Keep safe.

Shopping completed is a good thing Junie.

It is minus -15*F this morning. It cut the breath from me when we waited for the bus this morning. It takes a few cold days to adjust to my lungs.

We went to decorate the tree at DD's...the 2 year old gave us some strange looks lol

Hi all....It is 4 a.m. and DH just got called to work. We got over a foot of snow through the night and it is still falling. The heavy winds are causing quite a mess.

Today was supposed to be the family Christmas luncheon at GG's school. I am guessing there will be plenty of cancellations ahead. I can see a lot of snowman building for the kids this afternoon lol
