Hi Dianne,
I do not like when they say unkind things on here or fb. I do not go on face book. She is a really nice lady and she has really gone thru a lot here lately. She just went thru the cancer operation on her breast and she was a strong person thru that. It was nice that she came back to QVC. She sure did have reason not too. They seem to be good to their people when they are sick or if something happens and they need time off. I really like Carolyn Gracie.
I did not know that there was a QF. show tomorrow. I will have to set my dvr to tape it. We have to go to a birthday party for our grandson tomorrow. It is going to be at a pizza place so it will be a noisy place to be. They did say that the game room is separate from the dining room So we will not have to worry about all the kids running around in there. You can tell you are getting old when kids start to get on your nerves when they are running all over the place and there is nothing that you can do. You cannot tell them to calm down or sit down for awhile. Their parents may not understand.lol
I did not know that someone did that to Lisa Robertson either. She is such a nice person. It was kind of sad when she left. I hope that she is happy now and has found a job that she will like. She always seem to be so classy. She knew all about jewelry though.
Well that is about all from here. I am glad of one thing. No one on this site says anything bad about anybody. That is why I stay on here.
ColleenHi Everybody,
This is really nice. We can see what we type. Barbara do not think that it was your eyes only we all had problems reading what we were typing. We have been getting stormy weather around here also. The other night we had a lot of hail. It did not seem like it was ever going to stop. That was the longest we have ever seen it hail for that long. It was a good thing that it was not baseball size hail or we would not be able to drive our cars.
I do not think that I will tell Ron about Jerry burying the railroad cars it may inspire him. I can see it all now. He buying a railroad car and having it hauled to the house and burying it in the back. That would be interesting. They are always thinking.lol
Gail, Aliza is really funny. Today she decided that she wanted to lay in her bedroom instead of down stairs She did not want me to leave her there but she laid there and cooed at the ceiling and jabbered at me. So we sat up there without much to do. All of her toys are downstairs. Guess she was tired of playing with them. She is cutting teeth and she is really working that tongue over the gums. I feel so sorry for her but this too will pass.
I wonder what Piper would do if Greg did model his new golf shirts. Wonder if she would go and get some clothes to model with him. That would be so funny. She is such a cutie. I cannot wait for Aliza to get a little bigger so she will be crawling and talking a little. If she is like her mom she will talk your arm off.
That is nice that they continue with the parade and the 21 gun salute. I do not like when they shot the guns off either. It is spooky and it does make you want to cry. I do not see how the veterans can stand to hear it either after being in the war with all those guns. Guess it is in honor of those who have died. The Milk Days sound like so much fun. You really could just eat your way thru town. Hope that you have as much fun again this year.
Adele I use those carts all the time. It is a lot easier on my back then walking. When we go to Rural King I use it because the store is so big and if I want to keep up with Ron I have to do that. It use to bother me but not anymore. I even run into things but people are understanding about that also. This one man came up to me and Ron when we were checking out and asked if I was getting better at driving that thing and I told him no. He just laughed and said at least you are honest about it. I thought just don’t step in front of me. lol
Are you redoing your kitchen? I am not even going to think of another project to do around here. Ron still not laid the tile in the bathroom I do not think he is ever going to. I could not get a hold of his nephew but hope he calls me back soon.
All birds must be dumb you would think that after they almost knock themselves out they would quit banging into the windows. They don’t though. I am glad that our Cardinal. went away.
Well that is about all from here for now. I am so tired from babysitting and driving. That really is a long drive when you have to do it that often. I spent the night last night because she needed me yesterday and then again this morning. So next Monday I am taking the day off.
I hope that everyone has a good week-end.
ColleenHi Adele,
That is such a cute picture of Azien and Johnny. He does like cake that is for sure. He does like his cake. He is so cute. They say the older we get the more we like our sweets and salty things. That our taste buds are not as strong as they are when are young. So we can taste sweet things and salty things better then anything else.
We did not get the bad storms here. They were loud and some wind but not like they had in other places. It is scary when it gets really windy at night and you cannot really see what is going on outside. In the day time at least you can see what is going on and if the storm is getting really bad. Yesterday it rained in the morning but now at night. It is not storming now but is supposed to later on. It is clouding up again. It is really tiresome when we have all these days of rain. I know what you are going thru when all that rain was in your area.
Girls are a little different. My five year old will let me rock her once in awhile. she will crawl up in my lap and we will talk about when she was a baby and she will sit there for a long time. My other grand daughters use to do the same thing. Now they are older and do not want to come over here do not talk about sitting in my lap. lol They have other plans and they do not include their old grand parents. They use to come over here a lot but now that they are older they do not want to be here as much they are too busy.
Your new Temptations dish sounds really nice. You have a lot of that. I just have the one set and use it a lot. I cannot believe that it broke on someone when they put it in the oven. It must have been from the freezer to the oven which never works out at all. Even if they say that it will. You cannot take something from freezing to hot and not have a problem. I have broken glass pitchers like that when making tea. I always do something now so it will not break.
I did not know that walking up and down steps could be so tiring. My daughter has a two stories house. Of course the rooms are all upstairs. So have to carry the baby up and down the stairs. So will have to work something else out. She may have to sleep in the living room and that will be that. My back gives me trouble and that is such a pain to have to worry about that all the time.
It is going to be hard to pick the ones to go home next week. They said that they are going to vote two couples off the show. It was a shock that Jodi got voted off the show. She has been doing so good. I thought that maybe the singer from Boyz to men would get voted off. He has not been doing as well as the others. He is good though. It is just hard to pick this time around. They do have some really good dancers on there now. I think that they have had good dancers thru out the whole show. I am not sure who I want to win. It is hard to pick. We will see next week who goes home.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good day.
ColleenHi Gail,
We had a nice time at Danyielle’s. She ended up buying sandwiches and chips and a salad. It was really nice. There was no clean up and no work for anyone. So we just had a nice visit. Poor Aliza did not get any sleep though. She was too busy looking around and watching everyone. She did let us hold her though. She saw me and she thought oh no Mom is leaving. When she figured out that mom was not going anywhere she was fine. She even wanted me to hold her. It was funny.
You had a really nice day also. No cooking for you. First the brunch and then the bbq. Sounds like you had two good meals. Did Piper do any entertaining on Sunday? She had everyone there and she will have a lot of attention. She is so cute.
This writing is so light and hard to see. I may have to get a magnifying glass to see what I am writing. lol I wonder why it is so light now. Guess we will have to let them know. I wonder if they are still working on the site. I will write to Tiago after I get done on here.
These storms are really just moving around. We have had them here and they are supposed to stick around for awhile. I hope that they are wrong. It would be nice if it gets warmer and stays warm. This going back and forth is getting tiresome. I guess we should expect the rain it is spring. I just hope that it just gets done soon and we can just relax for awhile.
The Milk days festival that they have there sounds like a lot of fun. Is that the one where you go to different bbqs? You have a lot of fun on that day.Wish that we had a festival like that. We do have a festival in September for labor day. That is about the only one. You would think that they would have one for Memorial day also. They need to do something to honor the veterans. They just do not think of things like that. At least not down here.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good day.
ColleenHi Adele,
I wish that I could just reach in the picture and get a piece of that cake. That really looks good. You are so good at baking things no wonder you had trouble getting rid of all the therapists.lol Your kids and grands are lucky to have you around to do all the baking. You even take requests. I have not gone that far in a long time.
Those were really good pictures of you and Tillie and the grands with Tillie. She really looked like she was having a good day. She had a big smile on her face. Sounds like you and Tillie both had a good day.
My brother told me a couple of things to do to the computer and it is running better. Ron still has to either change the fan or put in a new modem. But we will wait until it starts acting up again. It has been doing really good for the last couple of days.
I think that your storms have come in our directions. It is thundering again and hopefully no lightening. We have to get off the computer when it lightening. We have different things hit by it. We have lost I do not know how many phones in storms.
What did you get for Mother’s day? I hope that Tillie liked her tops. Did you get Quacker from the kids? If they are like mine they refuse to buy me any. That is okay we can buy our own we do not need them.lol I am a real smart alec tonight. I am just tired. After being out all day yesterday and then babysitting for Aliza I am really tired out. She can really wear me out. She wants to be help all the time and if you are not holding you better be right there in her face keeping her company. The only time that you can be away from her is if she is sleeping.. She is just a little spoiled. Not much though.lol
Well that is about all from here. I better go before it starts up again. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Dianne,
You are right the print is a lot lighter on here. I wonder what is going on. They will probably fix that also. They have been working on this site again. It will be really nice when they get finished setting it all up. I am glad that they know how to do this. I would never have a clue.
That lake is beautiful. I do not think that I have ever seen such blue waiter. It looks so pretty with the mountains in the background. You do live in a pretty state. We do not have clear water like that anywhere near here that is for sure.
We had a really nice Mothers day here. We went to my daughters for dinner and then today I had to go and babysit for my 3 month yr.old granddaughter. I have been really tired here and plan on sleeping in tomorrow. I just hope that the storms will let us. If it thunders really loud it always wakes me up and then I am up until the storm has passed. This is supposed to happen off and on all week long. I am ready to go somewhere for vacation. Know our luck it would be storming there also.
I will look up the kitchen gadgets that you gave me the number of. They all sound like they would be a big help to me. I really need something. I use rubber bands and sometimes they slip off the lid and then I need to find something else. If I cannot open something i have to have Ron do it or ask my neighbor. They are friends and she can open things better then I can. It is good to have a friend like that. She may be happy that I found something to help.lol
We will be getting fresh strawberries here soon and blueberries. I love them both. I love to make blueberry pancakes. They are so good. I always use fresh blueberries when I make them. They have a better taste and they are not dry at all. We have made banana pancakes also. They taste really good. Do you ever watch the Chew. It comes on in the afternoon around noon here. They always have good recipes well not always. Most of the time though. They come up with some good ideas though. That cake that Adele made looked so good. We have to go to her house and eat some of her goodies.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night. Will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Barbara,
I wish that I could tell you how old they are when they start teething and turning. They start squirming before they start to turn. Every baby does this in their own time. Aliza is turning from her tummy to her back but she will not turn from her back to her tummy. We have not idea when she is going to figure that one out. She is just starting to cut teeth. They just chew and slobber all over everything. You will remember the signs when you see them. It is something that we seem to never to forget. You will be surprised what you will remember once the baby gets here. You just automatically do things. So do not worry about anything. You will do fine. All babies like the baby swings. They are so much better then the ones we had when our kids were little. They have a nice padded seat and they lay back more. So if they arch their back you can still put them in there and they cannot get out as easily. Not until they get older and start squirming and that you will not know until you see them doing it. Aliza has started and she is 3 month’s. So just watch them and you will know.
I cannot imagine living thru those times. Could you imagine carrying water into the house from the outside well. Are going to the well house to get the milk. I guess we really spoiled now. Everything is right there for us and there is not a lot of work to getting it. You just have to go to the store.
It is nice that Neal is going to do something for you for Mothers day. It will be nice that Joey will be able to be there also. It is a shame that he is working nights over the week-end. I bet he would rather be there with you and Jerry celebrating you day. At least he will be able to be there during the day for dinner with Neal on Saturday,. It is nice that you will all be together.
That had to be funny seeing Jerry and his mom picking out shampoo. It is amazing what they can do if they are doing it for their mom’s That sounded so nice sitting out by the pond on a nice day. That is one mistake that we made not putting a pond on this place. We have spring water on here but do not do anything with it. Your place sounds so nice and peaceful.
That is not good when they have to let a lot of people go at the doctors. Did they replace any of them with new people? It seems like ti is cheaper to replace people with new people. They do not get have as many benefits. This Obama care is not worth a dime. We do not get the care that we use to and it does not cover everyone.
Well that is about all from here. I need to get off here before I start to complain about everything that bothers me.lol You have a good night and enjoy your Mothers day with your kids. We are so glad that you joined us on here. This is the nicest group of people that I have ever chatted with. Where could we find a group that have gone thru similar things we have gone thru and care enough to listen to each other. We have a good group of ladies in this group.
Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
We would have a hard time doing things on here if it was not for Gail. At least I would. I have no idea how to set up a new page and could never post pictures like all of you do. I am going to have to learn how to do these things. You probably know how to do this stuff also. Anyway it will be nice to be able to post our recipes where we can find them and be able to try all this new stuff.
It was so weird that the electric went off. We did not have any storms in the area so that could not be why it went out. All we can think of it must have been a transformer that went out. At least it did not take long for them to fix it. They need a better system so we can find out what is going on and so we know if we need to go to the store and get some water. We have well water and it runs on a electric pump. All of us around here have electric pumps. So it is a mess. We should have had them put a regular pump on our well so we could get water when we do not have electric.
Your cake sounds so good. You always make such desserts and they make my mouth water when I see the pictures. Did you pass on any of your baking skills to your grands or your daughter. Bobby did pick up your talent for cooking. Does he bake? It would be nice if they pick it up.
My daughters will never wear sparkles but Kaylee will. She is my 5 yr, old grand. She loves to sparkle and shine. She even wears shoes that sparkle. She always tells me that I cannot have her shoes. I tease her about taking them and wearing them. That will never happen. lol She is just funny I will have to work on Aliza. I wonder if the have sparkly clothes for babies They are never too young to start. The three of us could compare our clothes.and figure whose clothes sparkle the most. The girls may not let me buy clothes for them.lol if you notice they have a lot of clothes in the stores that sparkle. Not like our Quacker but they do have some sparkle.
Not a whole lot going on here. I cannot wait to start posting recipes on the new discussions.
Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
That would be great if you could start a discussion so we can find the recipes to try. By the time I am ready to try one it s gone are is hard to find. I think it was on the last site that they had were we had recipes. it was nice to have. Sounds like Adele is all for it also. I told Christine also have not heard back from her yet. I am sure that she will post some on there also.
Maybe they will come over and help Greg and help him. That would be nice also. It will be nice when he gets that new guy trained and he can take over more of the responsibilities. You can spend more time with him that way. That would be nice if he could golf on Father’s day and not Mother’s day.lol He is supposed to spoil you and spend the day with you.lol If we were staying here tomorrow Ron would be doing the same thing. Working in the yard or working in his veggie garden. Well he went all out for Mother’s day this year. He went two different yard sales and bought me some santas to set around and he bought me a watch that needs a new battery. I think that we need to go back to the gas station rose. lol At least it is not a vacuum cleaner. They do say that it is the thought that counts.
I would start a separate one. I am not sure if they post all the recipes that you send in. I tried once before it may have been on the old site and it never posted. I am not sure how they do it. it may be different on this site.
I cannot believe how boring it is around here. We do absolutely nothing. Ron got me up to go to the grocery store at 7AM. We went to Wal-Mart it is the only store that is open that early. They are open 24 hours here. One thing I do have to say there was not any people in line in front of us when we went to check out. In fact there was not a lot of people in the store. He is really getting old.lol He wanted to stop on the way home and get something for lunch and I had to laugh. None of the places he wanted to stop was serving lunch yet. So he went to another grocery store and bought some left over chicken in the fridge section. He got a lot done in the garden though. So I guess that is one thing in our favor.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen
p.s. our computer is acting up and my brother said that we may need a new fan or a new modem. So if I disappear for awhile you will know that is why. Ron is going to try to fix it.lol -
