Hi Barbara
So glad to hear from you. We will all be watching you get more excited, as the months go by, to see your Itty Bitty come into the world. Very exciting events for the entire family. When will you know the sex?
That is good news about Jerry’s Mom. So happy she is back at her place, and Jerry is helping her out. O bet she is thrilled to have his help, because she knows he is doing what is best for her needs. Would he approach her on the savings accounts? I know I am jaded in these things, but, do you think she may not know Jerry’s brother is the only one on the account? I have no siblings, like Gail does, so I do not have that knowledge on distributing monies, after a death. I do not know anyone who has that Cricket for a phone provider, so I have no info on that one at all.
It is so sad that kids take advantage of their elderly parents. Thank God she has you, and Jerry, and a good doctor, who cares for her so much. She must be a lovely woman. she also raised a good son. God bless her.
I hope Jerry accepts some help for the boys on the commode. If not, I would definitely go with a plumber. If he hurts himself, it would be awful. Realizing what we can, and cannot do, is not easy. Especially for the men. I think it is worst for them to come to that realization.
We all miss Debbie so much. Loved her stories, and humor!
Tomorrow we are doing Marissa’s birthday. Already made her cookie- the Lebkuchen I do at Christmas. Gary and Bobby were trying to convince me to do a cake too. Not! I already have the ice on my back, between going out last night, and the rain today and tomorrow…..LOL
Hope we continue to hear good news on Jerry’s Mom, your commode, and the new Itty Bitty.
AdeleHi Colleen
You are right- they are both very well liked at work, and easy to get mixed up, because they both work a lot of crazy hours, especially over the holidays. read my post to Gail for more info on Heather, and Marissa’s doctor visits today.
We are all waiting to hear the baby news. I bet you are on the edge of your seat, and every time the phone rings, you get excited!
How do you make the Jumbolaya? That sounds really good on a winter day. Soups and one pot dishes are my all time favorites. Easy to cook for me, and yummy.
It is very gloomy here, and reports of freezing drizzle tonight. Not sure if we will gout, as they cannot meet until 7:30. That time guarantees the freeze.
OH yes, we do need to listen to our doctors. I was talking to myself yesterday, saying, “No, you cannot reach for that, or bend that far, stupid.” We have to constantly remind ourselves not to do the things that are so natural. Such a pain.
Marissa’s actual birthday is Sunday the 10th. She got the corned beef today, so we are all set for the dinner. No turnip, though, So, I will cook 2 heads of the cabbage instead with the dinner.
Have you seen the Chew lately? I hate the lower calorie meals. I should not, because I finally dared to get on the scale. I gained a whopping 10 lbs. So, I am on notice. I have been a good girl the last few days, as I was quite shocked. My back cannot tolerate any more weight, so I have to get that off as fast as I can. Have no idea, if I can, but I will be good. I will only have 1 to 2 pieces of leftover Lindt balls a day. period. I will up my vegies, and protein, and down with the carbs. I only eat one carb per meal, so if I have bread, I will not have potato, and vice versa. Thank God all the cookies are gone!! o was having 2 cookies for lunch every day, with my tea, as my lunch. What was I thinking????? With the 4 people less for the holiday meals, there were a lot of leftover cookies. Now, I have to pay the r price. Tough this time of year, because the fruit is just not good. We got strawberries, and they were so sour, I had to dip them in sugar….so what was the pitn of eating those????
I am a bad little Quacker. LOL

You can order just about any flour form the King Arthur Flour co.
Adelehi Gail
Just not sure about tonight. Just heard the drizzle will continue today, and then spots of freezing drizzle. As we are not going until 7:30, I will call Joyce to see what she thinks. She broke her ankle 2 years ago, so she is cautious too.
I love that Contadina sauce idea- is that something that you put in the fridge, a nd can re-use later? kind of like the new tubes of tomato paste?
you do have to be very careful with catching anything. It is hard, because this time of year the kids are like little germ factories. Marissa just went tot he doctor, because she feels lousy and is exhausted all the time. I really thought she had low iron. her doctor said it was a virus, that is attacking her joints, and she needs more sleep. Marissa is one who has to be in bed at 9:30, or she gets testy. She has been working a lot of hours at Yankee Candle.
Then, we have Hetaher going to my back doctor today too. She has a curve in her back, and hip dysplasia. When she was little, she had one leg 1 1/2 inches longer than the other. She wore a kind of wedge on one shoe, that we had done by a cobbler, to make one shoe higher than the other, to help, until they could do surgery. They split the hip in half, took a chink of her hip from the top, and grafted it into the middle of the hip, and secured it with pins and screws, which were later removed. It was a pretty big surgery, and she had to remain on crutches, with no weight on the foot at all for 3 months. Well. Kids being kids, she later in years a admitted that she and her friend practiced walking with the crutches. That could have compressed some of the graft. Either way, her back is bothering her now, and I hope my doctor can help. he may have her get the series of 3 shots- not sure what they do for her hip.
Stephanie had the same thing, bit only 3/4 of a difference between the legs. With her, they did something to the growth plate in her knee, to slow it down, so the other leg would catch up- which it did.
Bone issues around here just do not want to stop!
hope your weather is better!
AdeleHi Gail
Poor Kendall. That is not easy to be so sick. You are so right- it will be even harder to get her back to school when she is well.
I like the idea of the Eng muffin pizza’s with the soup. I think I am going to try that one. MAybe I will not get the complaints form Bobby. I bet it is a young man thing- they (Brent and Bobby) need more meat and potato at their ages.
I leave the batteries sin my stuff too- way to much to do to take them all-out.
I finished all the decorations today- a good feeling! Now, I will put out my Annalee Valentine dolls. I only have one small box of them, so it is not bad. At least it will give the hosue a little happy feeling with the red and hearts.
We hope to get out with our friends tomorrow. the weather report keeps changing, but, it looks like Friday night will be just rain. Tomorrow am, will be icy, and then supposed to egt warmer.
BJ’s is like Costco. Only difference is they have cards for 50%off, and I love a sale!
Hope your weather is better.
I bet the new baby may have been born, because Colleen ahs not been on today!!!!
AdeleWow Colleen!
Even I do not have anything for next year yet….LOL
Amanda is them one who works at the restaurant. Marissa is the one at Yankee Candle, part time, and in college. Marissa is the baby, and Steph is the oldest. Do not worry- I get confused with everyone’s names too, and which one is which. Marissa is very funny about her food. She gets grossed out by a lot of stuff, and will only eat in certain places. She loves home made food, over restaurant. She is a funny kid!
Oh yes- I made the bread- sourdough today. the lentil soup was hit- even Bobby, who says soup is not a meal, had no complaints tonight. Gary, who was insisting he did not like lentil soup, said it was good. Go figure! I never know what will happen around here, with meals. I guess this was a winner.
I think when Ron goes out, you will be doing a jig! Semites it is good when we have the house all to ourselves for a bit.
Tomorrow, it is back to getting out boxes from the last closet, so I can be done with all the decorations. I hope my back cooperates. LOL
Have a good night- all the comedies are back on tonight…yahoo!!
Adele
PS- I missed Quacker today! I have no idea how that happened.Gail and Colleen
How did Kendall end up doing? Having that school phobia/separation anxiety thing is not pleasant. I feel for all of them. it is so hard to see the poor baby upset, when school can be such a nice thing. A lot depends on the teachers too. If they have an older teacher who is burned out, that doe snot help either. I hope al is well!
AdeleHi Colleen
I do like breakfast for dinner, especially when we are busy. Tonight, we are having lentil soup, and sourdough bread. My back is a little sore from all the putting away stuff, so today I took a break, and did not do the last closet of stuff.
I have my little pillow right next to my purse….LOL I think we will change it to Friday. Sat is suppose to be either rain, or snow,. When you hear that, all it needs is a tiny change, and it is slippery. I am too scared for that!
life would be a lot easier, if she did drive. like today. JJ was sick, and Gary went to get him, befog he did his route. I called later, to see how he was, and Aizen is in the background going,”alright, alright, alright”. I asked Steph is he was imitating Matthew McCoinghey….LOL Jj has a tummy ache, and is coughing. I hope to God that he did not get my cold, when I went over there last week.
Imagine, Marissa will be 19. She is working today, and called Hetaher while she was still here, asking to bring some leftovers form my dinner last night. So, Heather tells her she can bring her some money, if she needs it, and she says no- I want Nana’s food. She is a funny kid. her all time favorite thing I bake is the German Lebkuchen cookie, and she always asks for that on her birthday.
We found corned beef at BJ’s. Marissa is going to get it tomorrow. Do you have a BJ’s? Or do you just have Costco? I like BJ’s. They have some things Costco does not have- like all greeting cards are always 50% off.
I am glad we have been pretty much snow free for now. Gary has a lot of appointments for the surgery, so I hope it stays that way. He has 2 CAT scans- one for the shoulder, and one for his kidneys, plus the regular pre-ops, at the hospital, and pre visit with the surgeon once all results are in. he has 2 of them on my birthday….LOL
Hope your rain is going away- you have certainly had enough.
How is little Mama doing, with the Itty Bitty???
AdeleHi Christine
Love the pic of Patch. He is such an active little guy, and always has you running around to clean up his messes. I hope as he gets older, he will be a little calmer.
So sorry for all the troubles with your medical issues. It seems in England everything is such a task to get done. It is just not nice that you have to wait so long, and be in pain.
You always make such good things to eat! Yum, yum!
My cold is finally almost gone. I am still talking with that nasal thing, but, for the most part, the headaches, and runny nose issue has subsided. I hope yours is getting better too.
the holidays this year have found most of us dealing with something or the other, which makes all the extra work not as fun. I hope we are all on the way to recovery.
Hope you have a good day, Christine! I bet it smells nice at your place with all the goodies you made. I am doing sourdough bread today, and lentil soup.
