Ooops....we went a little over in the other one!!
oops
lunch rite now, in the library, how's everyone doing?
Ok now that I have got to talking about it, I am ready to go shopping. Not gonna happen today though, darn it all.
oops!
Hi Kenny!!
Hows the weather in the city??
Triss, I make candy at christmas time. I cheat and buy the solid milk chocolate bunnies after easter really cheap then remelt them in a double boiler and pour into my molds. Never tried the white bunnies, if they melt good you could add food colouring and give it a try also.
It's alot of work making hard candy, kind of a trial and error thing.
a large bag is about $12.00
pack of sticks $1.oo
oops!
I heard a construction worker got hit by lightning and died this morning in Ontario. Is it still raining Penny?
prices may be diffrent with our states .
Were you watching us Cindy
and you didnt stop us
cindy!
hi cindy
Its off and on...its not right now...but 5 minutes from now...that'll change.
Ok that is not too bad on prices then. Oh yes, the chocolate is the way I will go. Do they havfe chocolate in colors like yellow and red? It would be cool to have colorful tulips.
Hi there Cindy.
tamara i love making hard tack suckers at christmas
gotta watch the temp though. i burnt one batch one year ewwwwwww!
and ya cant cover up the burnt tast with more flavoring either
i tried that...it dont work
I was outside with Brennan...he is killing me.
He's a 7 year old boy and he wants to climb the gravel pile.
I'm a 50 year old granny and I don't WANT to climb the gravel pile!
yep. you can buy chocolate in many colors. or just buy the white and add food coloring
poor Cindy!!!
Doesnt Brennan have school today??
Well Cindy, technically you are a 49 year old Granny who does not wanna climb in the gravel pile.
You do not get to claim 50 until tomorrow.
I am gonna wait on hard candies when it does not matter so much if I mess it up. Chocolates sound way easier!
i thought your birthdat aint till tomarrow?
Cool, thanks for all the advice Christy. Will let you know as it progresses.
Christy, hard tack drives me nuts. I made pulled taffy one year and never again. It took me hours to make and minutes to eat.
Cindy, you need a 'Super Granny' suit.
I agree Triss...it does doesnt it.....but it sounds like a nice gift though.
Yeah...I'm still dull old 49 today. :rolleyes:
Doesnt Brennan have school today??
He was sick.........
...and he got healed as soon as his mommy left.
taffy is a hole lot harder to make!
i tried it one year, drove me crazy!
All kids pull that stunt don't they Cindy?
And some adults too when they want the day off work
Brennan is reading this over my shoulder laughing his *** off!
Yes Penny and I think Carolyn will like it. She wants something unique that people will enjoy. Everyone likes candy and the card I attach can be a keepsake for anyone who may want that. I am going to get a large heart or tulip punch and use my printer to print out their names and wedding date, punch those out and attach them. I like the idea more and more as I think about it.
Triss, you can also make hard fudge in those molds as well.
Oh yummy Tamara. I am sure I will be able to reuse them a lot!
Hi BRENNAN!!!! Give Granny a break ok, she is not as young as you are.
It really is a great idea Triss....and adding the date and names..just finishes it off...nice touch
You mean Lola and Brennan arent having words right now either...where is Lola
...heading back to the gravel pile.
Lola is probably on Cindy's shoulder telling Brennan to stop laughing.
Triss, I've seen tulip shaped candles at the dollar store as well.
Hot alert! It's 75 here right now! With a line of t-storms moving this way this afternoon...probably will be pretty good ones because of the unstable warm air.
It's HOT out there, I had to put capris on, heck now I'm thinking of putting shorts on. That sun is burning me up!
I havent seen Tonya on today...was she here early this morning...she sent me a pm awhile ago..but she hasnt been on??
have fun cindy...be safe!
Somebody slap Loz for me :p
That would be a good idea too Tamara.
Loz... ohhhhh I am jealous. Our sun is gone today.
Time for me to go. Dog needs out, kid needs shoes, I need something.
See you all at lunch.
Hi Lozzie...how are you??
Sounds like you may be getting the storms we had earlier!!
Triss you mean slapping Loz,
Bye Triss....have a good one.
Sorry Tamara...its beautiful here too but i dont have the windows open....all the wind and its kicking up the dirt!!
You could even freeze coloured ice cubes in those trays for drinks.
rain is comming down now, guess its better than snow
I'm sorry
Don't mean to sound like I'm rubbing it in, I'm not...I just can't believe how hot it is! Just last week I was freezing then hot, then freezing...now it's like super maximum hot for this time of year!
I'm good, I've been outside a lot today!
I thought all my mosquito fish in the pond had been caught and moved inside for the winter, but I saw a few in there just now...one was HUGE---the grandaddy of all mosquito fish!
Had lunch over at moms...fish and chips and peas. It was great! She's taking a nap before Athena comes tonight.
Its -2*C(28*F) here and still freezing rain back and forth.
Sounds like a great day so far then.....we have had rain off and on since 4am this morning and when it comes down..i dont mean a little sprinkle...it pours.....its 70 degrees here but the wind is brutal!!!
Now I'm craving fish and chips.
Loz, stop teasing me.
Glad your weather is warming up, it feels good to get out and dig. How did the fish survive all winter?
Tamara, sell the farm and move here with me and mom where it's warm! She'll feed you well!
Penny, that's pretty warm up there! Nice! It's windy as heck here too---but it's a warm breeze!
I feel guilty even sitting here when I could be outside cleaning up the beds.
-2! i dont miss those temp! brrrr
I would be outside right now but it rains at the drop of a hat and I'm having a good hair day today!!!
At least now that its getting nice, i can go out and not feel guilty....i pretty much have eveything clean here...just the screens on the windows...thats about it.
Well, we might be forced out in the next year if the mine goes through. I'll have to move somewhere.
How did the fish survive all winter?
I have no clue...it's not 3 feet in the middle like they say it should be to overwinter fish here. It froze solid at least 15 times this winter...and I didn't float a ball in it like they say to, to allow an air pocket.....
Plus they are warm water fish....I'm just shocked, but happy shocked!
Tamara! That's WAY too cold.....I guess you have a very short growing season up there?
Penny
---I don't like the rain much....but I guess it's good in spring for the plants....
Move to Ontario Tamara,......i'm sure i could help you's find jobs
Christy -2 is a treat, the -40's were the killer.
Your not kidding that your mom would feed her well...she sounds like an awsome cook....good thing we dont all live close or your dad wouldnt let her on the computer anymore
...we always get invites for lunch!!!
loz, you can only start planting here after the 20th of June because of frost.
Might have to Penny.

Ooooo, you'd probably like it here...it's very rural--lots of trees, mountains, and farms....think of all the lunches you could have at cafe mom!
Christy, what is your temp there today? Probably sort of like here I'd imagine.
Penny----don't you just love having a good hair day! It's a rarity for me anymore...that's why I wear a ballcap so much...quick and easy.
And you do have family here in Ontario dont you Tamara....and we have so much to do here!!!
I just got my hair cut(4 inches), so I wouldn't wear a hat anymore...and what do you know, it walked onto my head this morning all by itself!
The old mine is closing in February 2010, they announced this morning. They want to have a new mine open by then and they are looking at our properties again. If it goes through this time it will be an open pit mine so they will have to move us all.
Yeah but you look good in a hat.....me...i look like a total fool
Hi there Jess!!!
How are you today??
Yup, I have family in Chalk river and Ottawa, DH has family in Kitchener, Cambridge, galt and Barrie.
Hi Penny! I'm doing good! How are you?
That's not good Tamara, how long have you lived there on your property?
Hey Jessica!!!!
Penny--even if I didn't look good in hats I'd still wear them!
I hate doing my hair anymore, it's frizzy and I just hate it! :p
I wear a skip hat alot in the summer also Loz. Free advertisement for our local Co-op feed store.
DH's family has owned it since the 1800's, we have the original deed here. I moved here in '96 when we finished building our house.
Mine doesnt go frizzy...it goes curly...have lots in common with a poodle on those days!!!!!
...just passing through.....
I talked Brennan into watching cartoons...while I lay in the chair.
yep loz, but its cooling off with the rain now,
hi jessica
Hi loz and tamara!
It is nice and sunny here today! Was rainy yesterday. It is warming up and I love it!
Hi Cindy!!!
Good idea...go rest
Would hubby move to Ontario to be closer to family???
You'd get sick of me pretty soon Penny, I'd fatten ya up quick.
Hi Christy! Hi Cindy!
Hey loz did you get your brug starts yet?
He might move but not to be closer to family
If he got the job he applied for here we'd move into the city here, if not I can see us trying out Ontario for awhile.
Shoot, I knew I forgot something on here.....I never sent my money to Njoynit for my starts....Darn it and the mail just came to....Better get that done tomorrow!
Nobody could fatten me up---I eat like a man!
Glad you're having some nicer weather Jessica!
I also do construction work, does he need anything fixed?
If he ever applie for a job in one of our cities...you definetly dont want to move to the city...hugely expensive.....to buy a cheap house in Toronto and i mean a dump...you are looking at $300thousand, just to get a house!!
We do have a machining and welding shop Tamara
Heading back outside, be back later!
We'd move with his nephew for awhile probably. They have a large house in Galt and are thinking of putting an apartment downstairs in it next year.
I've got to go gals. my dryer just shut off and I want to iron the sheets before they are too wrinkled.
Bye Loz and Tamara....have a good day!!
Never welded, I've done roofing jobs though. i'm a jack-of-all-trades.
Tons of construction up here....pays pretty good too...starts at $17.00 an hour!!!
Sounds good Penny. You never know, you might be seeing me often in a year or so.
Gotta go, bye. have a good evening all.
Works for me...would love you's to move here!!!
