Hi DD,
I love butter cakes they are so good. They are gooey butter is what we call them. When we were kids mom use to get them at the store all the time. We would have them for breakfast. It was so good. You could eat them at other times but that is when we ate ours.
Just thought I would tell you what I know about them

Hi Adele,
It looks like you had a lot of dishes to put away. I hope that the girls helped you. That is like my girls they use every dish in the house when they cook. We always eat out of paper plates though. lol I guess those plates are really hard to wash.
I have my mom’s Christmas dishes but have not used them yet. The girls say we should just use the paper. I may surprise them this year and use the Christmas plates.
My brother is still hanging in there. I do not know what to pray for anymore. He is in so much pain and having such a hard time breathing. I do not see how my sil does it everyday. Taking care of him.
I am still Christmas shopping. I need to get it done. I was going to go to Penny’s and see if they have any toys. I did get Nova a Minnie Mouse. I am not sure what else to get her. Maybe diapers and formula.
Kylie came over and spent the night last night and started putting up my decorations. She decorated the tree and got all the stuff out of the closet to put up around the house. She remembered where I put a lot of the stuff that I have. She is the oldest so she has seen it more often. So she enjoyed putting the things up for me.
Take care of yourself and rest.

Hi DD,
I am glad that you got a food basket so you could have turkey. It was nice that Critt could celebrate with you. It is always nice to have some one to eat with. I was so glad that my kids were here and the great grand babies. It helped to keep my mind off of my brother.
It seems like this time of year just flies by. I still have Christmas shopping to do and need to hurry up and get it done. It will be too late soon. Who will you spend Christmas with? Will your friend come and get you? If you lived closer you could come here. We always have another place at our table.
I love the pictures you posted. They put people in the Christmas spirit. It was chilly here for awhile and now we are getting warmer weather. Then it is going to get cold again. I wish that it would either stay cold instead of going up and down
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
I went to see my brother today and they have sent him home to die. They have hospice helping my sister in law. They have him on pain medication. He has oxygen in the room for when he needs it. It is so sad to see him like this. He can hardly breath and it makes it hard for him to talk. He talks so low it is hard for us to her him. Well that is all from here. I cannot say much more then that. Please pray for him. I keep praying for a miracle.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I did not know that Willie Robertson was such a good singer. He did really good and surprised a lot of them. It is a really good show and keeps getting better. The ones who surprised me was Honey Boo Boo and her mother. They could not sing but they sure had a good time. Bruno is right they should all have fun like that. I just wonder who thinks those costumes up and they always put them on the right person. It is such a fun show.
I ended up buying three tops from Quacker. I told myself that I would not buy any of them but could not resist. I bought the Peace on Earth one, the church one and the one with the snowman on it. I figure that I can wear that longer in the winter. Which ones did you get?
The magnet decorations are really cute. That is nice to hang on the garage. I bought a projector thing a couple years ago but have not used it because I cannot remember where I put it. Hopefully I find it soon. I like the memes they are so cute. I like the ones about forgetting things. I know you are like that.I do not know what happens to us as we get older.
I really wish they would go back to picking the best dancers and not the most popular people. There are so many good dancers on the show this year and they really need to be voted on their ability. I agree Melora and Suni were better then some of the others. It seems like they wanted to pick on Suni.
Everybody will be here for Thanksgiving except for Melissa and the kids. I wish that they all were going to be here. Guess we cannot have everything.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That is funny that Amanda has taken over like she has. I think that sometimes sibling will listen to each other and do what they ask. You should really just enjoy the day and let them take over. That will be so nice to have them doing all the cooking and serving.
I am glad to hear that Gary’s leg is doing better. You take good care of him and make sure that he does what he should. That is a job in itself just getting them to do what they should do. Ron is driving me crazy. We went to Costco today and Danyielle went with us. Ron went in the store to make sure that I could get an electric cart so I did not have to walk. He told her not to get ahead of me to stay with me. It made me feel so helpless. We were walking and I almost lost my balance being so careful not to. It is hard when people are watching you.
The baby is so sweet. She hardly ever cries and when she does all you have to do is pick her up and she will stop. Grayson just loves his sister and was not too jealous of us giving her a lot of attention. We try to do things with him while we are holding her so he does not get too bad. We are use to having to do that.
It will be interesting to see who wins dwts. I hope that it is not JoJo. She could have danced with a male partner it would have looked better. When they were doing some of the dances that were supposed to be sexy it just did not look right. The gay guys dance with woman and do not complain. She does not have to do it that way.
I will quit complaining. I will get off here and finish answering e-mails and get to bed. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
I never have liked Tyra Banks on the show. She takes away from the stars dancing. She should have kept her mouth about Suni. That poor girl was going thru enough without her running her mouth about it. I always mute the tv when she is talking I do not want to listen to her. I was disappointed with some of the people that were voted off the show but I usually am. I could not believe that the basket ball player made it to the finals. I do not think that they thought they would make it. Is anybody watching the masked singer? It is pretty good this year. They have had surprising people singing this year.
I have not bought anything from the Quacker show yet. There are a couple tops that I would like to have but am not sure I want to spend the money. I will look the things over again after I am done on here. I do like the top that Let there be Peace on Earth and the baking top they were both really cute. I hope that I did not wait too late.
I hope everyone is okay. Are all of you ready for the Holidays? I still have to get the things that I want to cook. I hope that I can find all I need.
Have a good night and stay safe.
Colleen

Hi Gail and Adele,
I am just feeling so helpless. I guess that I just really needed to get that all out. Thank you for not taking it wrong. We appreciate all the prayers we need them more then anything. I am like Deborah Ann I am praying for a miracle.
That is about all from here today. Thanks for all the prayers.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Deborah Ann,
My brother is the youngest in the family. There were 5 of us we were closer in age. It is so strange my brother has stage 4 lung cancer. I know the feeling that you are helpless. We can do nothing but watch and with all this covid we cannot be in the hospital with him. I am praying for a miracle and I will add your brother to the prayer. Anytime you feel like you need to vent I am here. The other women on this site are the same. We all pray for each other and any family member that is sick. Maybe we can help each other thru this. Like I said that if you ever feel like talking I am here.
Prayers
Colleen
