Hi Dianne,
Glad that you dropped by. Like Adele said it is good to hear from you even if you just drop in and say hi. I do not have an exciting life either. Mostly we just sit around here and stare at each other.lol For awhile my big excitement was talking about my back doctor and what he would tell my to do. Like when I would clean my bathroom to get down on my hands and knees. My next question was how do I get up off my hands and knees when I am done. Just things like that. So anything you talk about is interesting. They listened to me when I was going thru all of that. We also got some good laughs.
Glad that you are okay. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I thought that the chop suey may have had the Chinese veggies in it. That is the first time that I have heard of American chop suey. We will have to give it a try. We need to put or recipes on a page on here where we can find them when we want them. We give each other recipes and then they get lost in the different chats that we do. Then we cannot find them again. Something different then the quacker recipes. So what does everyone think about doing that.
Adele you cannot feel bad about all that stuff the they decide causes cancer. They may say that then one day out of the blue they will say that it was wrong. You do what you think is the right thing to do we all did. We just pray to God that everything will be alright. That is all we can do. They are constantly finding something that is not good for us or the baby. They also said that if you fed a baby too early they would get cancer of the stomach. Now if that were true we would all have stomach cancer. Then they say that if a baby is a big baby they will be heavy when they get older. Well that is not true either. Just depends on what their eating habits are. We were talking about this the other day. All the things that they have said that would hurt us and then they turn around and say that it won’t.
That was nice that your friend came to visit Tillie. Sounds like she had a good time talking about old times. You are right not many make it to 90. Thank the Lord that our mom’s have. They both still have their right minds and are not feeble. They are both active and can still walk around. That is a plus right there. We are so lucky to have them. I hope that she has a great birthday and she enjoys the week-end with everyone dropping in. She will probably rest if she starts to feel tired.
We are going to my daughters for dinner. The whole thing is on the post that I wrote to Gail. Our electric went off last night for no reason. We have not idea why it did. We called the electric company to find out what was going on and I just kept getting disconnected. Our neighbor called and all he got was a recording. So we none of us know what the problem was. It did come back on after an hour or so but it still would have been nice to know what happened.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
We are going to Danyielles for dinner. Ron was wanting us to go out but got voted down. I agree with him it would be easier the all of us cooking. They were talking about bbq but it is supposed to rain on Sunday so that will probably be out. We should all just bring a dish to pass and that be it. If we end up with all salads then that is what we have. It is fun that way. If the guys do not like it they can go to the store and get some chicken or something if they feel the need. I am just being really laid back about the whole thing. What ever they do will be fine with me. Do you have other plans if the brunch does not work out? Will all of you come back to your house ot go to Jenny’s. The place that you went to before sounded really nice. They had a nice meal for Easter.
That is a good idea to celebrate both occasions on the same day. It makes it a lot easier on you. lol I am for combining things. Anyway that I can avoid cooking two meals. I am all for it. Danyielle should have went with her dad and we should have all gone out to eat. That would have saved time and trouble. She has the baby and she is working and has a lot on her plate right now. They none of them listen to us they wait until the day comes and they wish they would have listened.lol
Ron is waiting to plant some things because the ground is still too cool. We usually have plants in the ground and they are starting to grow by now. It has been nice here though for the last few day. Just not warm enough. We are getting storms so we must be getting some warmer weather here also. That is how it has been working around here. It gets warm and then it rains and it gets chilly again. Hope that is gets warmer soon. Have you been eating any asparagus? We have had to or three cooking of it. I have some in the fridge but need to pick more before we can cook it.
It takes me about an hour and a half depends on the traffic. Today it was not too bad. Monday and Thursday are not so bad but the rest of the week is a mess. She was not too bad today. She got a little tummy ache and fussed for awhile but then she settled down and she was fine after that. You could tell a big difference in her when her mom walk into the house. It was funny I was giving her a bottle when Danyielle came in and she was talking to me and Aliza was trying to find her. She kept moving her head but Danyielle was behind us and she could not see because we were on the couch and all she could see was me and the back of the couch. She did not want to lose the bottle either. It was funny to watch and hard to keep the bottle in her mouth.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night,
ColleenHi Sue,
You are right about throwing the food away. It is a shame that you cannot find some one to give them to. They may enjoy them. Thank you for telling me that. It is nice to know. I did not think that they would do that. QVC is a pretty good company.
Thanks again
ColleenHi Adele,
We grill hotdogs a lot. They taste really good that way and they do not have a salty taste. I think that everything tastes better on the grill. Ron sometimes burns some he likes them that way. I prefer mine just done and not any more then that. Hope that you like the hot dogs.
Thanks for the recipe. Will have to try that when we are in the mood for Chinese food. I have never made anything Chinese with ground beef but tacos. So this will be different and good. They are always saying on the chew to boil the chicken bones and get the flavor from that. I think that Clinton Kelly even puts it is the slow cooker. I wonder if they have the way to do that on the site. I have never tried it.
The party for Tille sounds really nice. It will be nice to have a two day party for her. She will really enjoy that . Jeanne Bice always said that you should celebrate your birthday for the whole month. She had a point there. It would be nice if we could. It seems like when the kids get older and have jobs it is harder to get everyone together. They all have different work schedules. So you just have to do the best that you can. Tillie will like it no matter what you do for her,
That is funny that he made his papi come and see what he did. I guess they get really excited when they do that for the first time. That is a real accomplishment. He is doing really well at potty training. That is so nice when they no longer have to wear diapers. That was one day that I always looked forward to.
It is cold here also. We are not getting any rain now but it is still cold. We did see the sun today but did not help much. Ron was going to plant some things in the garden but changed his mind. It is in the 40’s at night and plants will not grow when it is that cool. So will wait til it gets warmer and the ground is warmer. Glad that he knows all of that cause I have no idea when you should plant and when you shouldn’t.
Well that is about all from here. Hope that you see the sun soon and can get your tree.
ColleenHi Gail,
I think that Adele may be on to something. If she is being bullied that would make her sick and want to come home. That is terrible to go thru that when she is so young. I hope that it is not it but it would be worth talking to her about. Maybe she will open up to you. I hope that someone figures it out soon. That is terrible that they do not have the results yet. They need to hurry up and read the tests and get back to Jenny and let her know.
That would be so cool to have fresh flowers in the house all the time and have them out in the yard also. It is even better to have someone there to pick them for you and put them in the vases. Washing the sheets and doing all the house work is even better. We all needed to be born rich and live in luxury.lol
That pediatrician must have been out of his mind. Why would you wake the baby up when they were sleeping. If they are hungry they will wake up on their own you would not have to wake them. Every child is different and why make them all the same. You gave him the best answer that I could have thought of. Bet he did not volunteer to do that.
That is so cute that they put on the fashion with music. I bet it was cute. It was nice that Piper let Kendall join in on the fashion show. She is just so cute they both are. That sounds like what it is like with the grands here. They all bring their tablets or ds game thing and they play on it the whole time. Or they would if their moms did not make them go outside for awhile. They always tell them they have a lot of yard to play in here and they need to enjoy it while they can. One thing we do not allow here is not games or phones at the dinner table. The only one is Stephen because if he get a call or text from the base he has to answer it right away. It does not happen that often though. He has only had to leave one time and he came back the next day. So Melissa and the kids just stayed here that night.
Our weather here has been cold at night. This is the weirdest weather that we have ever had. It will be nice when it warms up a little. In the 70’s is a good temperature not much higher then that. Well at least not for awhile.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen
p.s. Do you think that maybe she is getting bored at school? Ethan use to get that way and want to come home. He has done so much better since he went to the excelled classes.Hi Sue,
Do they take food back if you do not like it? I bought the Germack with the chocolate in it and did not like it. I found someone to take it because I did not know that they would refund you money. I do not order it anymore that was the only thing that I thought that you could do. Next time it happens I will call them.
How are things going? We are cold here also. This is really crazy weather. Wish that it would warm up.
ColleenHi Gail,
it is always so nice when you start a new page. We do not have to keep scrolling down to find the last post. The pictures at the top are really cute. I love the tulips and all the different colors. Wish that it was in my garden but it isn’t. I have one color and that is it. Ron pulled all the other ones.
How did you day go babysitting? Mine went pretty good. Aliza is so cute and she is so pretty. She is teething and she is crabby at times and then at other times she will be fine. She still smiles when she first wakes and after you feed her. Then I guess she starts to hurt. She is also at the age where she is fighting sleep. That is not fun either. She is finally sleeping thru the night. That makes it nice for Danyielle. She is not getting up during the middle of the night. How are your grands doing? Have they heard anything back on the tests on Kendall? I hope that they get the results soon. How are Piper and Lachlan? Lachlan is in pre school isn’t he. Kaylee is so ready to go to school. She is going to have a hard time with her attitude. They have been having to really crack down on her. Has Piper put on anymore fashion shows lately? She is such a cutie.
That is sad that the Pizza place is being sold to different people. I agree with you they are never the same after new people buy them out. The atmosphere changes and the people change that go in there. It is really sad. We have had a lot of places that have just closed around here. That worries me because that is not good when they start closing. They had good food and they still close.
That Quacker show was weird. I wonder why they did not just have Patrick do the show instead of doing that. Did you see where they do not have a Quacker show listed for Wednesday night? I would think that they would have Chics Night in. Will have to look on the schedule on here and see if they are having a show or not. They are having a show on the regular qvc this week so wonder if the changed the one on Q+. I thought they had that fixed but I guess not. Wonder what the problem is.
Danyielle use to go to New York for Jewelry shows. She would set up displays for the company she worked for,. She liked it but she was there under different circumstances. They all probably stayed together and did not have any trouble. I do not know how much site seeing they did. Will have to ask her Thursday when I see her. I hear people say that you have to be careful leaving you valuables in your hotel room. They are supposed to have a lot of break ins.
Is it getting cold where you are? It was cold today and we had to wear coats. If you go anywhere tonight you would have to wear a coat. It is supposed to get down in the 40″s. We are going backwards. It was warmer when it was supposed to be winter.
Well I hope that you have a good night and will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Adele,
I did like Barbara’s comment to make to that girl at the docs. I forgot all about that Bless your little heart. That is really a smart remark but it does not come off that way. A southern lady know how to insult someone and not let them know that is what they are doing. I am waiting to see if Gail has a good one or not. So far Barbara has the best one.
Poor little Aizen. You made him cry. His mean dad laughed at the whole thing. Shame on him.lol It does break you heart in two to see one of the grands cry because of something that you said. Even if it is for their own good. The little ones especially. They can get such a hurt look on their face. Been there done that. Felt the same way you did. I bet that Gail has been there also. It is just a hard thing to go thru. Guess that Grandma’s are not supposed to say no. Next time tell his dad to tell him for you. Then he will be at fault and it will make you look good.lol
The hot dogs that you are talking about were they the long ones that the girl was cooking on the grill? I wanted to order them but I think that they sold out. I did not see the Kansas city ones. Unless those are the ones that you are talking about. You will have to let us know what you think. Sue did not like them because of the salt. I did not know that they would return the money if you did not like the food. I wonder if you send back what you did not use. That would be hard to do. I will have to ask Sue.
I watched Aliza today and she was so cute. She just smiles when you pick her up. But now she is teething and so she smiles for awhile and then the tears come. We put some teething lotion on her gums and that helped her some but she was fighting sleep also. She is at that bad age where her teeth are coming in and she is fighting sleep. Her mom was the same way. They have a baby swing for her and she falls asleep in there pretty quickly. Her mom was the same way when she was a baby but then she realized that every time she was in the swing she would fall asleep and she started to where she would cry and fight me trying to stay out of the swing. She would arch her back so it would be hard to put her in it. She was funny.
The Whoopi pies sound really good. I have never made them before. I think where we live they were called moon pies like they were for Barbara. I am not sure if they sell them around here anymore. Will have to look in the store and find out. Maybe they still sell them where Barbara lives. Things sure do change fast. I can remember paying only a quarter for one of them. There is not telling how much thy are now.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and will talk to you later.
