Gail- that not is funny. Kids are hysterical!
AdeleHi Colleen
Read the post to Gail for more info….LOL
I have no idea where I got the concert thing- maybe it was Barbara who went- our old brains are showing.
We all are waiting to hear labor has begin. the last weeks are the worst.
I talked to Steph yesterday. Jhonny was coming home a little early, and then he got called back to help someone who fell and hurt their back, so he was going to be real late again yesterday. So, no entire family visit yet. I think she wants to wait until Jhonny comes to, so everyone can enjoy Aizen opening his gifts. She is funny like that- if Jhonny cannot come, she waits for him to be available. AT least I get to her his little voice. She was trying to cook, and he was yelling at her. So, I thought she had to get off the phone, Steph said he wanted her to pick him up, and she just could not just then. So, she asked him if he wanted a pop, and I heard his little voice say, “oh, oh, yum yum.” He is the funniest little kid. You know how you just love to hear them with their tiny words.
The kids here are back at school, all accept Marissa. College goes back in a few weeks.
It was nice you got to see your friends, even though you did not play the game. I hope the weather cooperates for you to see them again soon. We have to change the day to go out with Ron and Joyce, as it will be stormy on Sat- so we are going out Friday night, instead. Here goes all the plan changes, due to the weather!
Hope all is well, and that baby-no-name arrives quickly, so we will all know who Itty Bitty is!
AdeleHi Gail
Seems like the genuine Lithuanian food has meat fillings for a lot of the holiday items. Each nationality has such a different take on things. Very interesting. I got the Oblaten you get, but the prayer was in Polish, so I could not say it at the table….LOL
Aizen is 2. Can you imagine! Oh yes, he still has the curls. Now, we have a “man bun”. Bobby, and Gary are freaked that they have not cut his hair yet. Jhonny wants to get it cut, but, Steph is not budging. We are all wondering if it is because she wanted a girl….LOL His hair is gorgeous. I guess those man buns are in.
Kendall is close to JJ’s age- he turned 9 in Sept. They are so cute at that age.
We got practically nothing for snow. Cape Cod, and the south part of Mass. got it all. They were all over the news with accidents due to the little bit of snow that was freezing on the highways in the south of Mass. we just saw some big flakes, every once in a while. However, we are supposed to go out with Ron and Joyce on Saturday, and a storm is predicted. Joyce called last night, and we said we can switch to Friday night, so we miss it.
Greg is hysterical. I have no idea what is inside the mixer. Gary used to be good at repairing things, but, I have to admit, if he did, it would be a “good enough Gary job”, and THAT was rarely a good thing. So, things never looked the same. after he got his hands on them. God bless him- he does try his best. he is good at the simple repairs, but, he is nowhere need a perfectionist, which is what you need for a lot of repairs. It is a constant source of amusement around here. That is why I call in a professional, before he gets a chance to get his mitts on it…..LOL
I got so busy yesterday afternoon, that we ended up having cereal for dinner. I put away a lot of Christmas things, and do not have too much more to do. I hope to get to some more today, and maybe finish.
today’s meal is a chuck roast in the crockpot. This is what I do- very simple, and delicious. You layer in this order: potato’s, whole if they are very small, or in half,onions (2), about 5 carrots, cut in 4 pieces or so, then the roast on top. Sometimes I brown the roast, and put in the juices, and sometimes I do not. Slat and pepper the roast, and get a Knorr beef bouillon cube- smash it up, and put it on the top layer. Then, pour a can of Kitchen Ready Tomato’s on top- cook on low for 8 to 9 hours. Smells great, and the tomato soaks into he potato and carrots, and is really yummy.
It is Marissa’s 19th birthday on Sunday. She just called, and requested a corned beef and cabbage dinner for Sunday. So, I will be sending her to BJ’s to get one, as the supermarket does not have them all the time. She does not want a cake- she wants the Lebkuchen bar cookie I make at Christmas. She is too funny for words.
Hope you are having a good day- it is freezing here. Wind chill this morning was below zero. Perfect day for the crock pot. Tomorrow, I am doing a sourdough bread, and lentil soup. I LOVE soup.
AdeleHi Colleen and Gail, and everyone!
What are bacon buns? You are going to be bored without the antics of cute little Piper!
Glad you heard from Brent. It is nice to hear he is doing well, and is happy.
Colleen- did you win dominos with your friends? Glad you had a chance to have some fun with your old friends. that was nice that Melissa cooked dinner when she picked up the kids.
How is our Little Mama doing? Not much longer, and the baby will be here. Such an exciting time. I am praying all be smooth for her.
Hope everyone has a good night- Barbara, and Sue too!!!
AdeleHi Gail
No, it is Garry’s left side, thank God!! But, I am already freaking out, because they told him NO SHOWER for 5 days. His surgery is at 6:30, so I told him he will have to get up early to take another shower that morning…..LOL I know I am bad, but I HATE the smell of dirty head. I may have to get those no water shampoo things. He knows I am freaking out, an he thinks it is funny.
My Kitchen Aid has no computer anything on it. Is yours a food processor? Or, do the new ones come with some kind of newfangled stuff?
I did miss Aizen, but, he is so small, he does not know the actual date of his little birthday. We will just have it when he gets here.
OMG….I am so exhausted, I am falling asleep answering this. I got up early, and made cinnamon bread for breakfast. Then I did this Zuppa Angleis thing- it is Italian, and my friend Max doe sit for every New Year’s. Basically, it is a custard, that you put in a bowl, with lady Fingers on the outside, and a row in between layers. The old-timers soaked the Lady Fingers in rum, which she does not do, and I did not do. Bobby, Tillie and Gary all liked it, so it is a hit. Not sure if I spelled it right, though.
Then, after that, I washed the kitchen floor. This kitchen is 12 feet wide, by about 25 feet long. What a pain. Thank God for my spin mop!
We are getting a little snow tomorrow late afternoon, or evening- ocean affect snow, they are saying- up to 3 inches, so not too bad.
How has your foot been doing this winter? How about Greg’s foot? You two will have to be very careful outside this winter.
Hope you are having a good night. I am off to watch Tv. Bet I am asleep in 2 minutes.
AdeleOMG, everyone!
It looks like I missed a lot in the last couple of days…..LOL
Sue- I hope you had a chance to have one tiny drink. I and the eggnog with nothing in it, because I got real woozy with the spiked one I had, and I already walk crooked….LOL
Colleen-Hope you had fun at the Christmas concert, and that the grands have now gone, so you can rest. Also hope the water is all gone in your area, and your daughter’s and mom’s areas. What a sad story on that poor dear who died, just to be thin. how awful. I am right there with Jeanne- you have to be comfortable in your own skin, and just be happy you are alive and able to enjoy life.
Gail- Great that Greg baked and cooked, but, who breaks a Ktchen Aid? Mine is the original one I bought for my parents when they first came out in the 80’s. What happened to it? I have been toying with getting a slightly larger, one that will handle the dough for bread better. I have to sit next to it, and hold the bowl down when it kneads, or the bowls flies off form the weight of the dough…..LOL
We did not see Steph yesterday, as her SIL came, and babysat, so they could go out to dinner, on Jhonny’s one day off. We were all fine with that, because they need some couple time, desperately. he has been working a lot of hours. Steph is the only granddaughter who doe snot drive, and she is the oldest, and the one with kids- go figure!. Marissa just got her license, about a minute before she started college- literally. I think it was just a few days before she started. Thank God she did, as it would have made it very hard for her to get to classes. Her school is only aboit 15 minutes away. straight up the highway, 3 towns over.
Christine- glad you were able to post here, so we all know how you are doing! I hope your cold is getting better. This is a bad one. Today was my last day on the antibiotics, and mine is still not gone. I sincerely hope you get a good physio person, who will help your foot. This is way too long to be in pain.Gary’s surgery is for a shoulder replacement. All due to arthritis. His rotor cuff was not damaged when they looked at him initially, but, he has a CAT scan to see for sure. This is going to be a hard one, as the doctor said it is very painful. I hope the rotor cuff is still good, or that will be worst.
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY QUACKER BUDDIES !!!
Hope I answered all the posts….LOL
AdeleHi Barbara
I am so glad Jerry is able to help his mother out of all this mess. Money is the root of all evil, and the people who have a lot, seem greedy for more, at anyone’s expense. Very sad. So happy mom is doing better, and able to get around. Wonderful new for the New year.
Aizen has not been here lately, due to Jhonny’s working very long hours, and my prior little disagreement with Steph. I think they were going to come by today, but today we are getting some snow later- not too much from what I hear, so I am just not sure. This is Jhonny’s only day off, so I do no want to press. I bet even at his younger age, he is tired. Plus, he loves football, so that may take priority today. I talked to the little guy on his birthday, and we are all waiting for him to appear, so I can make a cake, and see him open his presents. His birthday being so close to Christmas is hard, as he gets so much in a short time, and then nothing the rest of the year!
You know, I have not baked a thing either , since the bake-a thon. I think they want me to make sourdough bread, as there were rumbling’s of getting the great corned beef from the local Jewish deli.
Can you imagine your new grand is the size of a grape? In just a month the Itty Bitty will be the size of a lemon. Pretty soon, we will get to the larger vegie section…..LOLI know we are all thrilled for your new baby- August is a nice month for a birthday.
Hope you are having a good start to your new year!
AdeleHi Gail and everyone!
Gary’s surgery just came up 2 days ago. He cannot stand the pain any longer, so he finally scheduled it. It is due to arthritis- he does not need the rotor cuff done, which will make the recovery easier, I think.
We had a simple take out meal, as you could not get Chinese- it was a 5 hour wait…..LOL
here, we call soda tonic- that is another Boston thing. the younger generation has been going more to the word soda, though.
We had a quiet night- watched a Hallmark movie, and then the NY celebrations. we got up late, as Gary is so tired from not sleeping well due to the shoulder, so I kept quiet in bed so he would sleep more. That was hard!!
We are getting some snow flurries later today. My goal for today is to dust the rest of the furniture, and get the tree down. Gary has been walking around, and gathering the decorations, and putting them on the dining room table, so I can work on putting them away next week.
I am chasing the fridge down the street now….LOL the food loss is covered by Best Buy, because I bought the contract with the fridge. I always get the contract, because you never know when you will get a lemon. My old fridge was always having an issue- the compressor broke in the first month. that one was a Kenmore Elite. I love this fridge, in spite of the fan breakage.
Hope everyone is having a good start to this New Year!
AdeleHi Colleen
I am glad the water is starting to recede. What a horrible thing for everyone. I would say I will always live far, far away form any body of water. Although beautiful, nobody can control the flow.
Hope you and Ron have a good time tonight, and can stay up until midnight. I have not made it for years, but, now that I am retired I am used to seeing the monologue on the late night shows, so I think this will be the year I am up.
I hope they are not all too tired form tonight, to visit tomorrow….LOL They are night owls, and stay up late, when they are all home.
I am so glad I took out the contract on that fridge. I would have been out a lot of money, and food. A thing to be grateful for today, for sure.
Have a safe, and happy New Years Eve!
