Hi Gail
OMG- I missed the show, with all the football wackiness in here. Gary watched both games. It was football, football, football. I did Aizen’s stocking. I took a pic of where I am with it, and will post it here. It is hard to see where I stitched, and where I did not . But, you can get an idea at least.
Aizen is supposed to visit tomorrow, as long as Jhonny doe snot get called into work again. We are hoping they will all he here. that is why I made sure I got the snowman’s eyes and nose done, so he can see it….LOL
I love my Keurig- best thing we ever got. I even use it for hot water for my herbal teas, without the pods.
I downloaded a recipe form King Arthur that looked good- Caraway Rye Bread. Had to order a couple of ingredients I do not have. So, we will see if this loaf works out better with the corned beef for the boys.
I think researching a new brand of mattress is going o t be a real pain. So far, everyone seems to love the Tempupedic. You love the sleep number. This has become a lot more challenging.
I am so glad Colleen’s mother is ok. I am hoping Jerry’s Mom is continuing to do better. We just have to wait to hear from Barbara.
It is freezing here today- we got 4 inches of snow. Sun is shining, and the temp is supposed to get colder as the day goes on. So, crock pot dinner tomorrow, for sure! If the kids are definitely coming, I will do a simple pound cake,,,,,I think.
Hope you and your puppy are staying warm. Nancy and I have to figure out when the snow goes away a little for our lunch.
AdeleHey Colleen
We all thought Itty Bitty was here. Maybe the little muffin is waiting until my birthday to make an appearance- the 22ond. That would be real funny. Not for your daughter, though.
Steph is supposed to come by Tuesday, as long as Jhonny does not get called into work. So, I hurried and got the eyes, nose, and arms of the stocking done, so you can see it is a snowman. Did the s too. I usually dot he darkest colors last. but. I wanted to show Aizen, so he could make out what it is. I hope they do make it.
Steph said he was supposed to be off Saturday, but, got called in, because a lot of people called out sick to see the game. They would have come by then.
So glad your mother is doing better. At her age, we get scared thinking, this may be it. Every time Tillie doe snot answer the phone, I get that lousy feeling, so I know you get it too.
here is a little exercise you can do, to help your legs be strong enough to do the stairs- I try to do it every morning, when I remember to do it. You sit straight in a chair, and lift one leg, straight up, still bent at the knee, and hold it for 5 seconds. Do it with each leg, for as long as many as you can. It may help a little.
I am very bad in bed. I move around a lot, and I can never know what position I wake up in. I think that is why I end up hurting my back, or neck. I have noticed I cannot take my head, when sleeping on my stomach, and change the position of my head, from the left to right, or back. That motion of lifting up the head, and turning it, hurts the neck. I have to raise myself up a little, and then move the head. So…….does that mean I have a huge brain? LOL LOL My girlfriend think I may need a new mattress. I will have to do some research, because there are so many choices, and I would want to get the right one for me, and Gary. No rush though. I will be taking surveys on who has what mattress. I know Gail has a sleep number one.
So glad to hear from you, Colleen, and know that everyone is ok.
We have still not had a lot of snow- dustings, with ice only. Tomorrow we are supposed to get 1 to 3 inches.
Hope you are having a good evening, and getting some rest.
AdeleHi Gail
That is funny about your hairdresser. I believe, like you do, that the message got through. I bet it made Brent feel more relaxed. The guilt of moving on, can be tough. Our loved ones would not want us to mourn forever, They want is to be happy. so they can be at peace .Watching In the Kitchen With Dave- Kuhn has a great new gadget that opens all types of jars- another great older person remedy!! I just have to decide what color I want. Ill get one for Tillie too.
Gary and Bobby were thrilled last night. I got another request from Bobby. he wants pumpernickel bread. So, I got on the King Arthur website this morning, to get the ingredients for that bread- needed pumpernickel flour, seeds, and this pumpernickel/rye bread enhancer. Gary will be watching the other game today. He wants Pittsburgh to win.
I wonder how many calls Animal Control has already had for the crazy birds. You may be one of many….LOL
It is a lot colder here today, too. We are getting some snow tonight, but not much, One to 2 inches. Your poor puppy! They suffer like we do, with their joints , and the cold feeling more cold. What a good Puppy Mummy you are to have a space heater by his bed. Too bad he will not wear a sweater. You never know what they are thinking.
I hope the reason Colleen is not on, is because she is busy with the new, healthy happy Itty Bitty, and not that there is a problem. Same with Barbara. I hope they did not have any affect form the bad weather in Tenn. We all miss Debbie’s posts- she is so amusing. I hope she is good too. Every night, I say a prayer for all my Quacker friends. Even the ones who do not post anything her- like Sue, and my other friends on line. I wonder what happened to Cynthia.
It was bright and sunny this morning. It is now gloomy, and overcast. It has been the lowest production, ever for my solar panels the last few weeks. Plus, we need the snow cover for the gardens.
Hope you stay warm! I had a hot chocolate yesterday afternoon, instead of my herbal tea. That always makes you feel snuggly.
AdeleHi Gail
Oh yes, it would be hysterical if I could get a cheerleader uniform to fit this big butt….LOL LOL
I did make stockings for everyone, but, they were simpler. Material ones, that I put nice trim on. Bobby and Heather have very old crewel ones. I made in the 70’s or early 80’s. Then, when Heather married, and Bobby married, I made each couple matching needlepoint ones. Everybody loved them, and then I made them for the rest of them, accept me, Gary and Tillie- we still have our other ones. I intend to make us new ones after everyone else is done. As long as nobody gets married, or ahs a child, I can do one for me, Gary and Tillie. Enzo will get one when he and Rissy get engaged. so, that is my logic on the needlepoint ones….LOL
That crazy bird needs rescuing. Have you ever thought of calling the Audubon society, or the animal rescue? Maybe they would come rescue the crazy thing. If not, they would at least get a good chuckle out of the call. I have been known to give them a good laugh over here.
I know this may sound a little nutty, but, do you think Piper has some psychic abilities? If not, she is going to make the best actress, or writer anyone has ever seen. She certainly sounds entertaining, to say the least! You both must love your time with her.
Gary is out doing a couple of errands- getting his corned beef from the local Jewish deli. He asked me to do the sourdough bread for sandwiches today for the game. Do you believe this…….it was pouring like you would not believe. then, it snowed- nothing stuck. Now, the skies are clearing, and the sun is about to come out. I think Bill Belichuk ordered the Heavens to behave for his guys today. Very funny.
I am going to work on the stocking, while the game is on. the bread is on it’s first rising. Not quite ready to from yet.
Hope you enjoy the game…..GO PATS!!! I hope the Gronk is able to play. I love him- he has so much personality. He reminds me of Bobby and his friends when they were teens.
Hope you have a good time watching- which game will you watch?
AdeleGailster……..forgot to say- no, I did not finish Aizen’s stocking….still working on it. I should have known better than to expect to finish a needlepoint gift in 3 months. I have committed to finish that, before I finish the picture for my new room.
Of course, I will post a pic of the finished product. Thank God he is small enough, not to have noticed.
Adelehi Gail!
I have seen that commercial. It was hard to figure out what they were selling/saying….LOL It is adorable. So, do the big horses not like the little guy, or were the scared of him?
that sign would be a good idea….LOL
I also cannot stand that stupid Verizon commercial. I used to love the little car commercial with the furry animals- looked like hamsters??
I hope we hear from Colleen- I bet the Itty Bitty has arrived, since she has not been on. I miss the smell of Aizen, when he was an Itty Bitty. I used to love to hold him, and put him to sleep. Itty Bitties are is much fun- all they need is a clean diaper, a bottle, and a song.
So, we will be playing Colleen’s team. Gary is getting himself all ready for the big game. I am to make sourdough bread, for the corned beef he will buy at the local Jewish Deli.
Oh no….your cold, will be our cold in a couple of days!!
Hey- did you know that the appearance of a cardinal is a message from a deceased loved one? The birdie could be your Mom- so, yes, you better get a birdie door, before she loses her wings.
I was hoping Barbara could have been the winner. It would have been fun to see what she would have done with her winnings.
it is going to pour here tonight, into tomorrow, but, not for the game. they keep changing things.
My neck is better- thank God!
AdeleHi Gail
I have to say, that Superstore last week, with the mannequins made me laugh my butt off. I saw it 3 times- had to make Gary see it, and Heather too. heather is now hooked on it. I feel the same way. Telenovella is good one week, and not so good the next. They have fabulous characters, and I wish they would make it more funny, with more of a plot.
Read my post to Colleen for more news….LOL
That is funny, that you feel the same way about Mcdonalds fries as I do.
No garage here! Where the garage would be, Tillie is….LOL We have the in-law apartment, instead of a garage. The driveway holds 4 cars, with plenty of room in the middle to walk. But, that is where the ice stays, because of the van making a shadow, and then the house in the late afternoon.
Thank God we have Bobby, who does all the cars, and the snow blowing. I made him chocolate chip cookies for every storm. He said he gained 10lbs with all the cookies….LOL
Lets all hope that Itty Bitty makes an appearance by tomorrow.
Are you playing our Patriots this weekend?
AdeleHi Colleen
What day was Itty Bitty actually due? My Nonna used to say a baby e will come during the full moon. Hope that is here today, or tonight.
Good news about your Mom. Very good news. Thank God.
So, none of us won the Powerball….LOL
I did not make it out with Nancy today. Last night, while I was sleeping, I hurt myself again. This is getting ridiculous. I woke up in pain in my neck, down to the elbow. Could not sleep after that, as there was no position I could get into that did not kill the neck. So, we are going out next week. I was really looking forward to it. I am bummed, and very tired. In a sitting position, the neck doe snot hurt.
it is sunny here today. Storm on Sat, they think will be rain.
Go Patriots!!! They will be playing in pouring rain. Are one of your teams playing us? Hope Itty Bitty makes an appearance tonight.
AdeleHi colleen
I think we are all hoping the phone call was from your daughter, saying Itty Bitty is on the way!!!
So happy to hear your Mom is doing better- great news!
Also hope the shot in your hip goes well tomorrow. If you have my luck, the shot will be interrupted by the baby. I hope it all works out.
You are in our prayers.
