Hi Adele,
We did enjoy staying with Aliza. She is just so cute and tiny. We got to hold her all night and just snuggle her. She loves to snuggle. She is small enough for that. She does like to be held. She did have her fussy time while we were there. You know how babies do that. It only lasts for a short time and then they stop. She stayed awake the whole time we were there. She is such a sweetie.
How nice of Rissy to bring the bagels for Gary. You have such good grand daughters. They are very thoughtful. Maybe they bring Aizen over soon and you will get to see him. I guess Steph stayed home with Aizen so he could sleep. It would have been nice if the whole family could have come over and visited.
The dessert was really good that I made. We had our Valentines dinner tonight. We are supposed to have a winter storm tomorrow. So we decided to pick dinner up and just eat it here because we were neither one of us in the mood to get all dressed up for dinner. It was nice to have the food here and not have to go to the restaurant. It was a lot more private. It was all good.
That is a sweet story about how you and Gary got together. He sure waited a long time before he let you know how he felt. I guess it was the perfect time for both of you. You are really a good match. Have you decided what you are going to do for Valentines day? You are probably going to fix some fantastic meal and dessert and everyone will be there for dinner. It would be nice if Bobby would come in and fix the meal for you. You never know he might,.
Gravity does take over as we get older. Everything is going down ward. I agree with Gail I would let mine drag the ground before I would wear a bra with wires. I do not like breezes. They fell apart. I was so disappointed in them. Never have bought anymore of them. I would never go there with the thong. It seems like it would travel into places that would not be comfortable. Would be tugging at it the whole time I had one on so will pass on that one. The panty lines would look better then me tugging.lol
Well that is about all. There is a quacker show on right now. I think I have missed a lot of it but am taping it. Thank heaven for dvrs. What did we do without them.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
ColleenHi Gail,
I did not make any icing for the cake. You can put powdered sugar on it or cool whip. We chose the cool whip. We had our Valentines dinner tonight because of the weather advisory that they have out for us for tomorrow. We just decided to get it tonight we just brought it home and ate here. It was pretty good.
Aliza is such a good baby. We just held he all night. She did go thru her fussy time while we were there though and that was not good.Danyielle told me that at least she did it earlier last night. Usually she goes thru it when they are getting ready to go to bed. She was awake most of the time that we were there. So we really had a good time playing with her. She is just so sweet. We thought that she may have grown a lot since we had last seen her. She is still as tiny as she was. She is going to be like her mom and be really tine.
It was Estaban that he got the guitar from. I think he said that he got two of them.One is electric and one is not electric. I cannot remember what they call them right now. It will come to me after I get off of here. My daughter does have Amazon Prime. She gets a lot of stuff from them. She does some type of mystery shopping and she gets gift cards sometimes and you likes to get Amazon. She can find all kinds of good deals on there.
I do not do much shopping on the internet. This year was the most that I have ever done. That was because of my hip and it hurting so much. Next year we will all be in better shape around her to go shopping. The baby is here and so Danyielle will feel like shopping. We really had a strange year this year.
That is a shame that you and Nan could not get together this week-end. It is good though that you stayed with Rocky. Is he having a hard time now or is he about the same? It must be hard on him having the other dogs around and now it is only him. Tonight we were sitting in the living room and I heard someone at the front door. So I went to open the door and it was Austin. He was hitting his paw on the glass on the screen door. He wanted a treat. So we gave him one and he ran off. We will let him in later if it starts to get too cold. He seems to like it in his dog house. We put a door on it and extra hay and blankets so it is pretty warm in there for him. Sometimes he will come in but most of the time he will stay out. I guess he is more comfortable outside. It was just funny that he was knocking at the door. He also moves the furniture around on the deck. he is a mess. He has taken up where Biskit left off. We still really miss her. I still kind of look for her when I go outside. I really got off the subject. Sorry about that. Poor Rocky needs a friend.
We will have to take as much time with Aliza as we can because she will be the last baby in our family for a long time. The other two girls said that they would never have another baby. That is kind of sad. But I guess we cannot have babies in the house all the time.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
ColleenHi Adele,
I agree with Gail that is flattering that Gary was looking in that catalog to find you a gift. Fredick’s of Hollywood always has such interesting things. Did he find anything for you?
That is funny that JJ made the comment about your hair. Kids notice everything. If mine ever turns grey then I intend to leave it that color. It is not fun dying it all the time or having it high lighted. You have to sit in the chair forever when you have it high lighted. At least the girl that I go to takes forever. The old hair dresser that I had is not working anymore. She had a stroke and is not doing very well. It is sad that she is so sick. Hope that she recovers soon.
That is nice that you had so many visitors. It is really nice that Johnny brought JJ over to see you and Amanda brought her friend over. That is nice when the kids bring their friends over to see you. I meant grand kids. My mind is going.
I found a dessert to fix for Valentimes. You put chocolate chip dough in the bottom of the pan of the pan and then top it off with red velvet cake. I hope that it tastes good. Ron is taking me out for dinner so that will be nice. I told him that I did not want candy or anything else this year. Just a good dinner and then come home. We could even bring it home if he wanted. I am really picky.
That is nice that you got Johnny that jacket. How nice that he will be working inside for now. Maybe he will be inside until the winter is over. I cannot believe that they would let him go after doing all that work for them. He has to get thru his ninety days. He is such a good worker.
Well that is about all from here. We are going to watch the baby for awhile tomorrow. Cannot wait to spoil her.
ColleenHi Gail,
It is nice that they do that. Jenny was smart to let Kendall take those classes. It is good for kids to have a second language. It is going to be an important thing one day. We have a lot of spanish speaking people in the states now.
I watched HSN once and they talk a lot. They had two hosts on there and they both were talking. It gave me a headache. This was around Christmas time and I just turned the channel. I do not even remember what they were selling. Do not know how anyone could tell what they were selling. That was it for me. Ron has bought a guitar from them. I cannot remember what the guys name was. I have not bought anything from anyone but qvc on the internet. If I get something from Amazon my daughter buys it for me. Then I just pay them. They do deliver fast though. She ordered the Patrick Taylor book for me and I got is already. I started to read it but stopped to make supper. Have not gotten back to it yet. Probably should not read it yet tomorrow we will be at Danyielles and can read it when we get home. I will have all week-end to read it.
See you should have spent more time in kindergarten.lol It is funny that none of us noticed it. I guess we just knew what you meant and moved on. Sue is very observant. She does a lot more typing then we do and is on the computer more.lol Well that is my story and I am sticking to it. It is nice to have Sue coming on here. Hope she will check in more now.
My days for Fredicks was over a long time ago. Do not think that I could revisit those days ever again. We are older and more interesting and better looking. lol We do not need those garments anymore. I do remember when they were the store that we were not supposed to go in or look at there catalogs. They were forbidden. It is funny how times have changed. You are right things on the internet is a lot more revealing then back then.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night
ColleenHi Sue,
That is all you needed is more snow. This weather is crazy. We have had a mild winter until the last couple of weeks. Now it is really cold and we have had some snow. It is not sticking though. We are supposed to get more in a couple of days. Hope the snow is done where you are. You sure do not need anymore. It is good to see you on here. We are always glad to hear from you.
ColleenHi Gail,
The ashes used on Ash Wednesday are burned palms. Here they ask us to bring our old ones in that we got last year and they burn them with whatever they have left I guess. That is the only reason that I know this is because they asked for our old palms.
I took Spanish for awhile in High school and had a neighbor that was from Cuba that tried to help me learn to speak Spanish. I can recognize some words that they say but not as much as I use to. I do remember all of the cuss words. They taught me those also. It is funny how that stays with you but the other words just kind go out of your head. It is so strange. Kendall must be really good at speaking Spanish. That is hard to believe that her classes in the afternoon are all in Spanish. These kids are so smart.
I am so glad that he did not have the kids with him and that Aaron is fine. I hope the guy that hit him has to pay a hefty fine and will never drive while driving again. That is terrible that he was doing that.
She is going to be a star someday. I can see her in her sparkly jewelry and clothes. Does she sing or just dance? It is gong to be interesting to see what Aliza will be like. It is always fun to see. They are all different.
I did not know that QVC owned Zulily. I wonder how long they have owned it. It seems like QVC is buying out a lot of things. I had heard a rumor that they own HSN also but do not believe that one. How could they be in competition with them if they own them. That would be interesting to see if it is true. Probably never will find out though.
That is really cold there. We got some snow here today but not much. It is on the ground but not in the trees or anything like that. That is when it is pretty when it is in the trees. Them temperature has not been below zero here just the wind chill factor. So do not know if that counts or not. It will be good if it gets it over with now so when spring comes the weather will be nice. This is a good time to just stay warm and snuggle by the fire or read a book. Mandy ordered the new Patrick Taylor book for me. She said that it should come in this week. Cannot wait to get it.
Yes his name is Kevin. He is a nice guy. So do not mind doing this for them. I would do it even if I thought that Kevin was a jerk. lol Just a day to spoil the baby. We are going up on Friday.
None of us realized that the letter was missing. No one said a thing. We all just went on there and starting chatting. So no worries. lol I hope that we hear from Barbara soon also. Miss her when she does not write.
Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
I have never been to an auction like that. It sounds like a lot of fun. It is hard to win a bid some people go crazy at auctions. I usually end up with things that no one else wants. It is for the church so I do not mind. We have seen people bid 100 dollars for some spools. They were antiques I guess but not worth that much. I am glad that you enjoyed it.
I hope that Aaron is okay. That is terrible that guy plowed right in to him. Hopefully he did not have any kids in the car with him. People can be so careless. Wish they would make them stop driving and talking on the phone. These people need to get caught. One of these days they will really hurt someone. Aaron had an angel on his shoulder that day.
Kendall is doing really good. I am glad that she did not have to have a parent conference. That probably made her feel really good. That is amazing how quickly kids pick up on those things. Does she ever talk to you in Spanish? Do you speak Spanish? I cannot remember if you said that you studied that or not. She sounds like she is a really smart kid.
Piper may want your sparkly clothes also. She is so cute. She sparkles and shines without the sparkles on her clothes. Is she still dancing? I can picture her wearing sparkles and dancing all over the stage. She is going to be a star. How does Lachlan like school? He did not seem to have problems with going to school like Kendall. It is so funny how each child is different. Did he go to the auction with you and Jenny? It is nice when they include the kids in these events.
I watched one of the denim and co. shows today and they have a lot of cute things on there. They have a sweater that is a one time price and would love to have it but will wait. It is not that much higher at regular price. There are so many things that I would like to have. I have a lot of denim and co. also. I have a couple of the sets of long sleeve ts and jackets. You are right about both lines of clothing. We could wear this stiff until we are in nursing homes and just wearing pjs all the time.lol We just need to have new things so we feel sparkly. I guess we need to wear a lot of stars.
It is warmer where you are then it is here. It is really cold here. The high today was in the 20’s and it is going to be even colder tonight. I am wearing layers in the house it is so cold. We still do not have any snow does not look like we are going to get any. I am glad that it is not supposed to be cloudy on Friday as we are going to watch little bit so Danyielle and her boyfriend can go out to dinner. They have not been alone since the baby has been born. So it will be nice for them to have the night out. Well and we will have the baby to ourselves for a whole night. Well until they get home from dinner. They made a reservation so it will be awhile before they get home.
Well that is about all from here. Glad to have you back. Talk to you later.
ColleenHi Adele,
You are getting too much snow again. You need a break. It just keeps going around us and hitting other areas. My daughter Amanda lives four towns over from us and they had snow. Enough that everything was covered. We did not even get a flurry. It is funny how it does not matter how far you are from someone they can have all kinds of snow in their town and we do not have any. Weather is kind of interesting.
How nice that Gary’s son is coming to visit That is a good idea to have pizza and not a lot of cooking or clean up. That is always a better way. We did that the other day when my daughter came to visit. That way we did not have a lot of cooking and cleaning to do. You are so nice to make what the kids like and the right snack for each group. I would never remember all of that. I would never stop coming to your house if I was them. You always have good things there for them to eat. Hope one of us do win that mixer. It would be nice if we could both win. lol
I do not blame Johnny for not wanting to invest money for clothing if he is not sure if he has a permanent job. It is a shame they do not just hire him since they seem to have him working all of the time. They could hire him as a sub and when he is not subbing for someone he could work in the post office sorting mail or working behind the desk. Seems like there are all kinds of jobs. Maybe they will hire him soon. I do feel bad for the mail people that have to walk their routes. It is really hard on them and they get cold in the winter and hot in the summer. At least they can wear shorts in the summer. Some of the men do that in the towns around here. Our mailman is something else. He jams our packages in the mail box or he will not deliver on a day that only one or two people on our road have mail.We have had to break the box to get something out of the mail box. It is really aggravating.
They were lucky that one of the quarter backs did not get hurt really bad. I agree with Gail about the young quarter back. He does need to have some humility. He is young. He is sure to win one because he is good.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night. Stay warm and safe.
ColleenHi Adele,
Your pizza and wings sound good. Gary ate his hamburger and fries while all of you had the good food. We enjoyed the snacks we had. Ron ate a lot of them but still have some left over. We will just snack on them today. The biscuits with the apples turned out really good. Ron really liked them. He has eaten all but one of them. He will eat that in the morning with his coffee. I had some biscuits left over from the pigs in the blanket so spread them open a little and put apples, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on them. I closed the biscuits up like a boat. That is the first time I had tried that. Just needed ice cream or whip cream to put on top.
We did not watch any of the commercials. Ron just watched the game. It was nice that Manning won. Since it was his last game. Ron said that the game was won by the defense and not the offense. I just act like I know what he is talking about and go on. It is easier that way.Two of my daughters watch foot ball but the other one does not. She is like me. She could care less about who wins or loses.
It is really cold here. The wind has really been blowing. We had some snow today but not enough to notice. We are supposed to get more this week. It would be nice to get at least one good snow before winter is over. The snow that we get is not as much as what you get there. If we get a lot it would be a mess. Hope that the next snow does not kill that tree. That would be so sad. Will just have to keep hoping that it does not happen. Maybe you will not get as much snow as you think that you were going to get. They might be wrong.
That is a mess that Johnny is having to go out in all this snow and they do not furnish them with some type of gear to keep from getting too wet. Even if it is just a plastic coat to cover them so they do not get so wet. Just hope he gets his own route soon and it is one that he can drive the whole time. That would be the best thing for him. It would be hard to walk in all that snow. That is a rough job. The best jobs are the ones where you are in a vehicle all the time or you work in the post office.
Well that is about all from here. Will be thinking of you and praying that you do not get all the snow they are predicting.
