Well look at it this way, Tina...it is rain and not ice or snow
.
Plus rain is a good fire deterrant.

Glad the house is ready for the next few days, Sunny. I have to make some more cookies tonight a pecan pie in the morning and then prep for supper
.so I too am on the down side.

Oh my, mudslides. I had not thought of thst. I agree. I also hope you do not have to deal with them, Tina.

Freezing rain..gracious I trust that you do not have anywhere to be, Sunny. Also glad that you are having people in instead of going out. Good for you.

I don't like freezing rain. It leaves ice around. Not good snow. I am sorry, Sunny.

My son's favorite toy for Christmas is a dog toy. I saw it and knew it was right for Teddy. He has books and puzzles and things but that thing takes the prize this year.

Happy boxing day. A very wet day here with more wet coming through tomorrow. I am not complaining. It beats snow and ice which our mountains have bunches of.
I hope it is a good day to all.

Well, I lied. I thought the rain was taking a break for the last hour or two. But it turned to snow. Just an inch or so at this time. It's pretty while it lasts.

Enjoy the snow, Tina.

I guess it was more appealing to stay inside today, huh mom ? I think I would chose a blanket wrapped around me indoors over being outside as well.. I agree with Teddy.

I need to do stuff to get my house in order as wel!, Sunny, but not today..I just could not make myself do anything much. But I am ok with that.

I didn't do much yesterday either. Today is the day though to get my butt in gear....GG and I are taking down the tree. If I had room I'd leave it up but everything is so crammed together in my living room. I'll need to mop later as well.

We are getting a small storm this afternoon. It's a good day to stay indoors, catch up on laundry and clean.

Sorry you have to take down the tree, but I understand. If I were left to my devices, I would leave mine up most if not all of the year.

I may make myself do some work tidsy, but not a lot....I think Iam trying to get a cold from what the girls had a while back.

I never slept all night...being overtired caught up with me to the point of insomnia. It doesn't happen very often but it leaves me feeling like I'm sick for a day or two. I have no plans so I can rest today if I need to.

Has anyone been making any fun plans for New Year's Day? GB will have a sleepover....it is calling for a storm for the day of here.

Rest is a good thing..No need to run yourself down. I do that not sleeping thing every once in a while. It is no fun...Take care.

No plans here for New Years Eve or New Years Day either one. I imagine we wil! Be keeping the 4 kids overnight New Years Eve though. Val should be talking to me soon about that.

Good Morning wavy

Good morning. Happy last Saturday of the year. And last weekend of the decade. A different way to look at it. I am looking forward to the lists, the best of.... for the decade. I have seen a couple but want more.
I plan on spending my New year eve and day like always. Sleeping and being satisfied with what I have around me. And my kids still with me.
I hope all have a wonderful day. .

I undecorated today but didn’t get the tree in the attic. I need help for that so hopefully I can get it done Monday. Colt is coming next week for the rest of his Christmas present. I’ve enrolled him in a 2 day robot building class.

It’s so hot here the camellias haven’t bloomed yet. I usually bring some in for Christmas but not this year.

I am glad all is fixed.

We spent yesterday on our hands and knees tearing apart pipes in our crawl space....that kitchen drain line is getting an overhaul this Summer. I am glad for a normal day today.

Junie if I can get help getting this tree apart and into the attic I won't leave it up.

I've got 5 inches of rain in the rain gauge and it's still raining. But it's 69° so at least it won't freeze.

Junie, that heel tapping could be anxiousness.

Bestofour, my oldest SIL puts a large bag over her tree then tucks it into a corner of her spare 'junk' room. She just hauls it out every year lol

Tina, I hope the problem is fixed...I couldn't get in either.

Not a problem, Carol. It kept telling me I wasn't allowed to access the restricted pages for admin or something. Amd I wasn't. But felt guilty anyway. It's kind of funny now.

Shelley's are practically grown and they bicker all the time. Aggravates her but makes it laugh. Brothers and sisters.

No fun plans here. We never do anything fun.

We never do anything much fun either. I think tonight we found the right group. At 8:30 people began talking about going home..the last of us left at 9:40 give or take.

9:50 pm here. Sounds like it will be the new year in 2 hours here in the central U.S.

I was up early but I had to wait for GG to get up so I could go do the barn work. She stayed up all by herself to ring in the New Year with a movie and junk food. She wasn't pleased to trudge in heavy snow to follow me to the barn....neither was GB. lol

It is still snowing, we got over a foot so far with this storm...and the winds are beginning to blow. GB might be stuck here for another day at this rate.

I too stayed up to ring in the New year, Suunny. Frank iced tea though.

We were. Going to pick pecans today, but apparently Rod' s help is needed at Val' s house to help her DH do some work on one of the sheds. So, Grandkid time for Carol !

Happy 2020 to everyone.

Plans made are never followed it seems....I guess 2020 will be the same as 2019 Junie lol ....Are you picking pecans at a friend's house or an orchard? Either way, it is a cool thing to be able to do.

My SIL's parents have a lot of pecan trees. They just picked around 5 or 7 5 gallon buckets of nuts and so nicely offered to let us come and get some for our baking needs.

They are also do nice to have for just a snack when they are free..

Now, DH can spend time cracking nuts when he says he had nothing to do.

I do too, Tina. I hope we can go get some soon. Today would have been the perfect day to go pecan picking but we will have to go another day..soon I hope.

We are back from helping Brian...we should have stayed. Valarie was making bread.

I should have went to Val's as well...I was supposed to make bread yesterday but never got to it lol

I use the 'Poor man's bread' recipe:

~2 and 1/2 cups warm water, with 2 tbsp sugar and 3 tsp yeast. Let set for 15 minutes, then add 3 tbsp of oil or melted shortening, 1 tsp salt and add in 6 cups flour. Knead with an added 1/2 cup of flour for 6 minutes. Lightly oil dough, cover and rest for an hour, punch down and put in pans and rest another hour. Bake at 400* for 30 minutes.....it makes two large buns. I also brush the tops with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven.

I have used this recipe forever...I got it from DH's elderly Aunt. It's the easiest, cheapest recipe I have ever had...and tastes great.

Thanks ! That is a wonderful recipe ! I will try it soon.

Valarie gave me one of her loaves of bread...( She made 2 as well) DH is so happy to have fresh bread. I think I will give her a few days to eat her loaf and then I will make your recipe and share a loaf with her.


Again, thanks, Sunny

Can someone go to the bank for me as well? I hate driving an hour to get there....living in the 'boonies' has its disadvantages at times. I don't trust online banking...do any of you pay bills that way?

I need to mop today and do some mending to DH's work clothes.

You can come on over for fresh coffee and banana nut muffins but hurry the muffins aren't going to last long lol

Rod pays some bills online, Sunny. The reputable ones ( so to speak) like our cable/internet and the charge card

Muffins and coffee sounds good..be over soon.

I don't pay online. I mostly use snail mail. Occasionally I'll pay via the phone. But it all helps me stay debt free. I go to the bank and get the cash I need early in the month. I pay all my monthly stuff in cash, groceries mostly, gas for my car, help from my oldest sometimes. Any cash left over at the end of the month goes into a stash for emergencies. I have few bills, just electricity, phone'internet monthly. I get my propane tank filled a couple times a year. Then other things like property taxes and vehicle registration and membership to clubs are once a year things.

We can't pay bills here by personal checks anymore....they aren't taken at a single store either. In fact, you can't even cash a government check at a store here anymore. I might look into banking by phone...thanks for the reminder.

Ouch, Sunny. That's got to be tough.
I have a different account for my online purchases. I only keep money I think of as disposable in it. That way if my info gets hacked, I can close that account When I was using my main debit for gas and such they were getting hacked all the time. My banks made good on the money spent but it bothered me. It is part of the reason for moving back to a cash situation and having the second account for purchases.
Good morning. It is going to be another t-shirt day. I love those in the dead of winter.

Hi all,

Happy New Year too, I know it's late but was getting over a cold and ear infection so wasn't moving much … am finally feeling like myself again, just redid my bills for the new yr... got a raise in soc sec and new amounts for insurance ate it up just as quick.. always something..
I pay all my bills online with my credit unions bill pay, was a pain to reset up when we moved here but its so much easier... most of them are on auto pay.. the ones with set amounts.. rest I go in on paydays and set up to pay when due.. so much easier for me and can do it even when we travel.. never had a problem..

It's been chilly here the last couple weeks.. some rain but mostly cloudy days.. the weekend is supposed to be nice though so going to try and get to stores and see what I can spend money on .. need a few things hubby is not good at picking out for me... do have to get laundry done too... so easy to put it off but needs to be done...
We took down our Christmas stuff yesterday... hubby did tree and then brought me all the rest to pack in the containers,, we need a small shed just to hold it all... though we did manage to consolidate it a little better this yr.. had a bunch of those round metal containers that flavored popcorn comes in and use those for the breakables.. worked really well .. even labeled them... LOL!

Well guess I will go find breakfast for myself..hubby is still sleeping... need to clean out my fridge too and freeze the extra tamales he bought for New Yr's dinner... keep them for snacks or dinner when we don't want to cook...

Have a good day all....
Nana

Good morning !

I have "Pay Pal Credit.". Online, for things I buy, like for me or gifts, I use "Pay Pal Credit".
The regular pay pal pays for my items immediately like a regularly osl, but then at the end of each month, I get a statement to pay. No interest if one pays the total balance when due....I may be computer inept but I cannot get Amazon to take it for payment, so we just our Credit card there. Our bank backs it up in case the numbers are stolen.

Kids are coming over to spend the day..

I have been using a debit card to pay for a lot of stuff but now everyone seems to be getting hacked when using their debit card. Some places around here won't even take cash anymore because of criminals I suppose so I'm not sure what to do. We don't have a lot of bills either and what we do have I pay some online. There isn't a local place to pay my power bill. I'd have to go into Charlotte and I don't want to do that. We pay that over the phone. I know 2 people who have recently had their Amazon accounts hacked and both were told to make sure and remove their credit card info after each purchase. It's automatically stored so I think you have to log out and then back in and remove it. I'm afraid to do any banking online but over the last year several of our bank statements never got delivered. They were scanned into the daily mail email I receive but never made it to our mailbox so where are they? The post office is no help. I'm thinking of getting a PO Box.

I hate to say this out loud, but so far no one in this house has been hacked. When my girls get hacked, and they do, they just get on the phone, and their bank or Credit card company takes care of it..and they move on, IMO Rod would stop using whatever card got hacked...and I am talking of the new one he got issued....So I hope we neither get hacked, ever.

If we cannot use checks or cash one day, I will be very upset indeed.

I decided to go grocery shopping since the cupboards here look like 'Old Mother Hubbards' lol ... I found two sets of white led Christmas lights for 75% off. They'll look nice wrapped around my wagon wheel since they are the tiny ones. I wish I could have gotten to the sale earlier.

Yes, so love Christmas sales..I got to none here, and I don't think I ever will. I think I may make arrangements to spend some time home next year to shop before and after the holidays....

I am glad that you found what you did, Sunny.

I had a good nap today...So I am happy.

And it is still happening. Please get hold of James. I'll copy this post, then post it, then get the admin page, return to the previous, hit refresh and my post is in place. (I only copy it in case it isn't there and I need to try again.)
