Hi Barbara
You are not doing anything wrong. This new generation of women do not do anything to help out. My friend Joyce’s 2 DIL’s do nothing when they go to her house. Then add that Joyce, like us, has issues. If she says anything to either DIL, an argument will begin. She has to walk on eggshells around them, at all times. The stories I could tell! I have found that a relationship with a DIL is very fragile. The MIL has to have nerves of steel, and a smile on her face at all times, or it is misconstrued as a call to arms. Then add that they live at your place- I think in the small house out back, right? If she were underfoot, it would be even worst.
If anything, I would suggest this, in the hope it would not blow up in your face…………”Sarah dear, I am wondering if you think I am protective of my appliances. I would not mind at all, if you wanted to do a load of laundry, or cook something for you and Neal- I really would not mind at all.” What do the rest of you girls think. Maybe between all of us, we can find a sentence that would work, and not make lifelong enemies.
I am so glad you liked the brownie recipe It is so simple, and you do not even have to dirty the mixer. That is what I love about it the most. It is a huge hit over here, and I have some very complicated brownie recipes. I actually have not made any of the complicated ones anymore at all!
I buy a new Quacker top when I am upset, or a new Annalee doll, or something pumpkin- like the new Temptations ones. I think I have every pumpkin thing they have….LOL
Speaking of the news- can anyone get the picture of that dead little boy who washed ashore escaping Syria (I think) out of their mind? I am haunted by that picture, and I am in tears whenever I think of it.
Unspeakable horror in 2015. Not acceptable, just not acceptable.
Love you guys!
Adele

Hi Gail
Yours was the first one I got today. Did we miss some?

Hi Gail
Jj had a good day at school. They said he got the better of the two 3rd grade teachers, and his best friend is in his class, plus a few other friends. So, hope he has a good year. Thank you for asking.
I have found over the years, especially in my interviewing hundreds of people for their foster or adoptive Homestudies, that you could write a novel about each and every person’s life experiences.
Can you imagine- I would have been in Art, and you would have been in Archaeology. Back then, parents told girls they coul dnto do things. Things are very different today!

Hi Gail and Cynthia
We heard a little blip on the news last night about Macy’s closing some stores. They never said which ones.
Cynthia- did I miss something- did one of your kitties die? If so, I am sorry you lost one of your little furry friends. Kitties are so cute. I had 4 at one time. An all white one, an orange tabby, a grey tabby, and one that looked like the kitten named Nermal on the Garfield cartoon- we called him Nermal. I lost the last one around 2001.
Adele
PS……….I am exhausted today. JJ Steoh, and Aizen were here late. It was JJ’s birthday, and since Jhonny goes to work at 4, Steph did not want to be alone on JJ’s birthday. We had an impromptu birthday party. Since Marissa now has her car, we sent her to the store for a birthday cake. We did pizza. JJ picked the only 2 cucumbers that grew outside, and you had to see how Aizen loved them. I called them my 9.00 cucumbers- 2.99 for each plant…..LOL. We still have no zucchini- a few flowers are on the vines. J said there were 3 peppers still growing. I harvested one that looks like a funky tomato. That is my 9.00 pepper. We will see if I get any more of those.

Hi Gail
I have not drawn anything in years. I used to work on chalks. That was my favorite. I would sit in the window of the school, look outside, and draw. They were city scenes, one that won was a 3 decker house, with the laundry hanging on the lines. Another one that won, was a fabric batic, of a bird. I lost them in the move here.
Isn’t it a hoot what we end up doing? You just never know. I did always want to help people, that was one thing I always had in mind.
Steph is here, with Aizen. Waiting for JJ to get out of school. Then it is pizza- way too hot to cook!

Hi Colleen
I just put out a couple of things outside for Halloween- pumpkin, a metal Frankenstein, and then the door sign that says….”the witch is in”. I should leave that one up all year….LOL
I am also glad Barbara found us, but, she has not figured out the friend thing yet. Hoe she does soon- I bet Gail can direct her to it. Gail is really good at all this stuff.
That is funny- he does need to put a ring on her. Steph and Jhonny are not officially married either- they are engaged. I have no idea what the delay is!
Those snakes scare the hell out of me. I would not like that at all. yesterday, they saw a Hawk on our lawn eating something. I hope it was not one of our bunnies.
It is gross here today, again. This is for the birds! When they come to use the pool, I am not going out at all.

Hi Barbara
I think it is great you are doing take out. It is way too hot to cook over here- it will be above 90 again, with high humidity. I feel so bad for the grands in school today. We are doing pizza tonight. Steph is coming over to use the pool, with Jhonny, before he goes to work this afternoon. JJ will be here after school, of he did not melt away!
I love cheese dip…yum yum!
Adele
