Hi Gail
I cannot believe I missed the show too. Tillie asked me if they were on, and I said no, because I did not see it in the schedule when I looked. How did I miss it???
I agree, I like the short sleeves for summer. Quacker ones come to the elbow, and that look is nice. I would love more of those.
Gary did buy them, but he told me these are our last donuts form them….LOL When Bobby came home, he said a good donut form a donut place is 3.50 in Boston. I would not get to taste one of those, with Gary.
I will have to check the Q to see what they had on the show in a bit. I did sign up for the contest.
So, we were getting rain today. The schools are closed, and the snow is coming down in buckets. I heard this new report on the 6 pm news. I missed the up-date!
I hope this is not the first of many, like we had last year. They started late last year too.
Hope you have sun today, as that will come our way in a day or so….LOL
AdeleHi Colleen
Read my post to Gail for another funny Gary story.
My Q bill has almost 2 pages of easy pays….LOL LOL I was very bad over the holidays. I have been trying to be good too.
The rain did not do any damage over here, so that is good. the wind was howling like you would not believe. So, we are in the living room watching TV, and you hear this horrible noise every time there was a huge gust of wind. Gary tells me the shade was moving- mind you, a pleated shade, which is a lot heavier. so, I tell him he did not properly lock that window, and he, of course says ,”oh no, I did it right.” After another round of scary noise, I got up, mover the dam love seat, re-opened , and closed the window. No more noise, accept for Gary yelling not to move the loveseat, or I will hurt my back. Noise gone, and all was right with the world again, all due to the ingenuity of a Quacker.
It is gloomy here. Still better than 110 inches of snow. I am counting my blessings.
It was weird that the 2 times Joyce stopped by, I had nothing baked. So not like me! I need call ahead service, or a butler.
Hope you are having a good day, and that Ron comes safely back for his yummy dinner.
AdeleHi Gail
It is too much TV. But, they are doing a lot of good programs, and sometimes you need to make a choice as to what to record, as you just cannot watch everything. Ta least the Madof is only 2 days, and I think the OJ one is time limited too- thank God!
I really love the Chicago ones- fire, med, and police. We never miss those. Gary is a bog fan of them.
I hope you have all your electricity intact. There were a lot of people up here who lost electricity last night with the high winds. We were fine. Now, today, the temp is going down and that storm from yesterday is coming back as snow tonight, into tomorrow am. We will not get a lot- maybe 2 to 4 inches, depending on where the line is. Glad Gary has no doctor appointments for tomorrow!
It is still very gloomy here. I love it when the sun is shining- so much nicer. I have to be grateful, though, as we have really been spared of snow.
Have to tell you this funny story. We have this donut shop in Saugus called Kane’s Donuts. World famous, they say. their donuts were very good, and they get all awards. When I first moved to Saugus in 1989, they were 6.99 a dozen. The last time we got some, about 3 months ago, they were a little over 18.00. Today, Gary went to get some, because it is Frankie’s ( he is our delivery driver for the business) birthday, and he loves them, to the tune of 24.00. Of course, Gary had to tell them off this morning. They recently opened a second shop in Boston. that is when the price went up to over 18.00. Gary did say, it was not crowded at all- only one other person in line. Usually, the line is out the door in the morning. I think that says something.
Hope your day is going well!
AdeleHi Colleen
It is funny about Gary and Hallmark. From one extreme to the other.
Let me know how your meatloaf turns out.
So good that the baby and Danyielle are doing good. If she is getting bored, that means she is recovering very well, and fast. That is good news, as complications after are miserable.
Do not worry about being a great-grandmother- Stephanie said she would never have kids too. Now she has 2. You never know.
I think we got your rain- it is pouring out there today, and we may get thunderstorms too. that is funny. It may snow on Friday- this weather is nuts.
I bet you bake just as good as I do. All you do is measure, and pour- all done… Oh…..and sample the batter….LOL
You know, this is the second time Joyce just popped over, and neither time did I have something baked. We both think that is quite funny. Later that day, I did brownies. But, it was way too late, as she had a lot of errands to do, so she could not stay long. I love when someone just pops over-makes for a nice day. I did have Lindt chocolate balls available.
That was good that the weather cooperated for a dinner out with friends. We all need those, for sure.
My new black top with the hearts came yesterday. Also was able to get that beautiful black shirt with the pumpkins that was out of my size in the Fall.
I have the Chew on right now.
Have a good one!
AdeleHi Gail
I did not know that was considered a Monte Cristo sandwich, as I never ordered one.. It just seemed too much for me. Some of their things work, and some not. The crock pot roast you are making sounds good. Let me know how it turned out, and I may give it a try. I love the crock pot dinners. House smells good, and little clean up- a winner on all sides.
I bet your Prom was pretty. The high school years are so important, and sometimes these kids do not get it. It is a series of events to prepare you for adulthood. You make lasting friendships, and some marriages that last forever. Is it not funny that the Quackers are former high school organizers, and decorators? It is just in us. That one, and Beauty and the Beast.
Stephanie would have loved the Under the Sea theme- I cannot tell you how many times I saw that movie.
I did take out my Valenties Annalee dolls this year, and with Easter so fast, it will be a put away, get out in a day for the Easter decorations. TA least I do not have as much as I do for Christmas and Halloween! Plus, the Easter decorations are so much fun, because they are so Spring looking..
I missed the Wednesday fun line up. Did watch Chicago Med and Fire- they are good shows. We recorded the OJ Simpson one. I am going to watch the Madoff one tonight. I love the Superstore- the one with the mannequins was hysterical.
It is pouring here. It is supposed to get colder, and maybe some snow for Friday, but not a big deal. Hope your weather is good today, because it means mine will be in a couple of days….LOL
Hope your day is going well!
Adele
PS…glad Brent is good, and hope his ne job gets going soon.Hi Colleeen and GAil
Those weeping willows are beautiful trees. I always loved them.
Good that Brent is doping well. I hope he loves the new job!
AdeleHi Gail
I also loved Boston legal. James Spader is a great actor, and bring s a lot to each show he is in.
I forgot to about the sauce, but, you are right, Gary would never touch a sauce. Funny thing is, I have my beef dish in the crock pot, and he will out the juice/sauce from the dish in his plate. Last time I made it, I reminded him that was considered a sauce….LOL
I had a tiny high school, hence I could not get away with anything. It was very depressing to cheer for our team. We were always coming home on the train together, the saddest, and quietest, group of teenagers you have ever seen. I remember our games always being in Boston- at the Boston Garden. They tired so hard, but they always got killed. We were small, but had a lot of school spirit. I was on the Prom committee, and we did a Hawaiian theme. Our committed hand made all paper flowers for decorations- we had them on an Arbor we decorated, and we all took our professional pictures under it. It was a lot of fun. Kids today do not do that. they go to fancy places with no decorations, instead of the school gym- we were in the Church Hall. I think that made it a lot more fun.
thank you for the good wishes for Rissy. Her and Amanda called last night, hysterical over the Fishie Obit- they were just reading their emails form last week.
Kids are so funny.
Hope you are having a good day, with no snow. I think you said to Colleen that the snow missed you- fabulous!!
AdeleAccording to the groundhog, winter will be over shortly!
AdeleHi Colleen
Gary loves westerns, and any action movie, that is not scary, or about aliens. That is why I find it so funny that he loves the Hallmark channel. Very strange.
We do have to tweak our recipes, according to the people who eat with us. I have The Chew on right now. I have never thought of dipping a sandwich of mozzarella in the egg batter, and then frying it. I bet that is good. They do add a lot of fat into everything.
I am glad Aliza is doing well. Is she a good sleeper? That makes a new baby so much easier. How is Danyielle feeling?
It is a little chillier here today, but still very warm- in the low 50’s. Very strange winter, especially since we had so much snow last year.
Has Ron been glued to the election results? I could not believe that Trump did not come in first. he and all the numbers before they had the caucus in his favor. I wonder if he will change his attitude a little, because he has been knocked down a few pegs. This election is as weird as the weather.
My friend Joyce came over for coffee yesterday, and we had a nice visit. That was fun.
Hope your day is going good!
