Sounds delicious Tina, I love food as well....as one can tell from the size of my butt. haha

I just got done wrapping some Christmas presents. If I don't wrap them then the grands keep looking until they find what is bought for them, this year I beat them to it.

Wrapping...I am now on wrapping the gifts I have here for my Daughter and her kids here.

I forgot to add the pic of my flooring for you to see, the pic isn't the best because it is from my cheap cell phone but it gives you an idea of the color. The ceramic tile under the stove has a wood grain pattern as well.


I'll also throw in a pic of my 'girls' since I was doing the barn work this morning because DH got called out to work early because of the snow falling.

Lovely photos Sunny. You have a nice little " herd" there......

And I must say that is a nice floor. I think you did a wonderful job. AND IMO the ceramic looks to be an almost exact match.

There was a bad accident by my house last night, the driver landed at my door for help.....he looked like an actor from one of those zombie shows(he was covered in blood). I am waiting for the police to call me back with more details, I never slept all night.

Apparently he goes with a local girl but they live a 4 hour drive away. It took me hours to sort out who he was and to contact some of the family. He was so incoherent that we couldn't get all the facts at once.

I have too many accident scenes in my life.

Good gracious, Sunny. I am so sorry. That must have been a real shocker. I am glad/hopeful that you were not at home alone. I hope tonight is much quieter.

Drinking my coffee now.

Hi all,
Sunny that sounds awful, so glad you were able to help and no fatalities,... prayers for all.

I just finished bill paying for the month... money left over so that is good....LOL!
Heard from my youngest dd yesterday, her next to oldest had covid.... he is doing okay now but was sick for about a week and they were all quarantined .. still have a few days of that... not a huge problem for them as they will get paid at least... but one of the boys is high risk and her hubby is too... at least their house is big enough they could isolate him easily... hopefully no one else will get it...
my inlaws here still don't isolate and let everyone they know come over... worry about her a lot as she is diabetic, but guess they still believe its not dangerous.... we haven't been out there since March....

I am going to work on my office today and clean it up... ends up being room to stash stuff and it's a mess...
Well off to make some lunch... then clean some... have a good rest of today all, stay well...

Nana

Reading way back Tina I like the pastry on turnovers too. And cherry turnovers are the best.

Sunny your floor looks lovely and your girls are gorgeous. The end of our driveway seems to be the stopping point for every flat tire, or out of gas person, or lost person. It's been this way since we moved in here. Thankfully we haven't had anyone covered in blood. Would have scared me out of what little wits I have.

Junie, thank you for the card. You're very kind. Johnny is having a terrible time with this. I don't think he's slept since she died.

Sunny, glad there were no fatalities in the accident.

Sheri, you are welcome. I find cards really do help...I was happy to send it.

Nana: good to see you, and so sorry your Grandson has Covid. I hope he recovers easily.

Tina..I bought 2 turnovers a few days ago, and yes the pastry was the best part. So you made yours with puff pastry ?

Goodnight sleep tight everyone.

No, I do not bake them, I buy them from a local bakery. One that uses real sugar. No HFCS.

It's nice to see Nana and Bestofour check in. thumbup

I have seen puff pastry dough sold in a big grocery store before not sure if they still make the 'old tube' type. I remember my mom used to buy it when I was younger. I have made it twice from scratch before and it was a process that I'd rather not do again lol

Baking bread and sweets today...it is too cold to do anything outdoors.

Frozen puff pastry is still available in freezer sections everywhere. I was always too tired after reading the recipe for it to attempt it. Same with egg roll and other thin pastry sheets. Yeast breads, not a problem though.

That's a large chicken Junie...here it would be hard to find one over 4 pounds. Turkey or not, it will be a nice Thanksgiving meal for you and Rod.

Tina, do you order often from the bakery?....it must be nice to have one available to you.

I ended up making a batch of dinner rolls and a sugar pie.

Yes, my daughter picks them up for me every time she shops for us. That would be a less than weekly, about three times a month.

Yes you most certainly are blessed, Tina.

No bakery here. A coffee shop with donuts and a few muffins, and a lunch menu of sorts (one offering each day) but no bakery. I miss being able to order nut rolls and such for the holidays like I could back home.
Sunny, I ordered online..the option was to order a chicken between 5 and 8 pounds. At least I did not get one any larger.

There is a bakery where my daughter lives but it is terribly expensive....I understand it costs money to run a business but there is no way I'd pay $8 for a slice of cake.

Will Val be having their own meal as well Junie?

Yes, they bought a large turkey..she said the larger Turkeys were half the price of the tiny ones..so she was going to cook and bring us a plate...but as it is I am betting they go to Brian' s family. They none do social distancing which is odd as Brian's sister is a nurse practitioner with a doctorate...

Yes, my turnovers cost me about a dollar apiece right now in a pack of four. I've paid over $5 for them. Bakery items can be pricey.
