Hi Gail,
I think that Murder She Wrote was a book to start with. That is such a good series. There is just nothing as good as a mystery. I could watch them all night long. I like to figure out who did it before the end of the show. Sometimes it easy to do and sometimes they stump me. I think that I get the love of mysteries from my mom. She reads a lot of mysteries and watches them also. Do you remember the Charlie Chan movies? He was the Japanese detective. That was really good. They have not shown those for years and I wish they would bring them back. I like when they would have his son on them.
It is terrible that the man that owns that land does not think of the rest of us who live here. It is a good thing that Ron saw that it was burning and called Joe. They did drive up there a few times to see if they were still under control. The guy has a locked gate up so we could have not gotten on the property if we wanted to. I do not know what the fire department would do. They may just let his land burn and take care of the other peoples property. I think that we should go up as a group and talk to him about it. He should know better then that. He is not going to be a good neighbor. I do not even know if he will build a house here for himself. I doubt if I think that he just buys land like that and builds houses. Ruins other peoples neighbor hoods.
We had to build the house on here. It was just land. We also had to clear it all to have a place to put the house. When we fist bought the land their was a lot of pine trees. Then we had an ice storm and most of them died. It was very disappointing because we bought the land because of the pine trees. We still have some left and we have been trying to plant more to take the place of the ones that we lost. We still have not replaced them all. We had to have our woods cleared out a little and get rid of the old trees that were dying and not good for anything. So we are in the process of replacing the trees. So we do not have any of the dead trees in there anymore. It is not as much of a fire hazard now that we have had that done.
You really had to research things when we were in school. I can remember we had to pick a country and find out all that we could about it. So we had to send for information and look things up at the library. It took a long time. Then we got pen pals from that country. It was kind of interesting but eventually we stopped writing. I guess the older we got we lost interest.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Adele,
That is disappointing about the meat loaf. I think that I am going to try it but put some of the sauce in with the meat to make it moist. I will let you know how that turns out. The chicken one turned out really good for us. I had to change that around a little also. I guess that you have to make them your own. I am careful with some of the stuff that they use vinegar on because vinegar is not good for me to eat. That can upset my stomach for a week. Just different things like that. I do not eat real spicy things either. Have to be so careful with that stuff. I was not too crazy about the recipes that they had on today. So will not be trying any of them. Carla’s biscuits did not look too bad but they had to fry them and that seemed to be too much. I do doing too much complaining tonight. So better stop.
Good for Marissa. She should be proud of herself. I can imagine that you are really proud. Heather is probably really proud also. That is nice that they print the names of the kids on the deans list in the paper. How cool is that. She has been on it twice. She is doing really good.
The show that you are talking about is Signed seal and delivered. It is a good show. It is interesting to see how they figure out who all these people are that sent those letters and how they get them all together. It is the same writer that did Touched by and Angel. I use to really like that show also. Ron will watch once in a while but most of the time he wants to watch something else. So I do like Gail and tape it and watch it later. There is not a lot that Ron likes to watch. He mostly watches the news and westerns. I do like westerns though so it is not too bad. A lot better then the news.
Aliza is doing really well. We are not going to get to see her this week. We have things going on this week and will not make it over there. Maybe next week It will be nice to go over there and spend the day. It is hard not to go over there every day and spend time with her but they live in the city and we are not that close to them.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I made the chicken dish today. It turned out pretty good. Instead of putting vinegar and apple dressing I made a gravy to put over the chicken. I did the spinach instead of that stuff they used and it turned out really good. Ron said that he would like to have it again. So that one is a keeper. I will try the meat loaf one day this week but will use mozzarella cheese instead of the provolone. I have the mozzarella in the fridge and not provolone. I doing like they said to use what we have on hand. Ron is happy that I am watching the chew now. He likes all the new things that I am trying. That is funny that you have to have Bobby keep Gary in the the other room so you can cook dinner. It is funny that he does not know what is in the food if he does not see you put in in there. Our husbands are like kids sometimes. They do not know what things are unless we tell them. The onions will be the one thing that Ron will notice. He really likes onions so he will be glad that they are in there and not notice anything else.
I do not know if people like us going into those areas would do any good. It is going to have to be the moms and grandmas of the kids that live in that area. We could help them but that would be it. The big problem is they do it at night when everyone is in their homes and just shot thru windows. I do not know how to stop that. These gangs need to stop. It is hard to figure out what to do about any of this. I guess we have to pray for help. The best thing that I saw was when they were having all that trouble in Ferguson the one boys mom saw him out there protesting. She came and got him. He was trying to get away from her and she popped him a good one. He ended up going home with her,. More mom’s need to do that when they see their kids out there go and get them and bring them home. At least she knew that he would stay out of trouble.
I watch Hall Mark a lot. I like all the mystery shows that they have. I could not believe when Brook Shields made one. It is pretty good though. I really like to watch Murder She Wrote with Angela Lansbury. She is such a good actress. I hope I spelt her name right. I like the ones where she is in Cabot Cove Maine. Those are the best ones.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I did go to the store and got the things that I need to make the chicken schnitzel. I am making the spinach instead of that other stuff. If it is a little bit bitter it will not work for us. We are not going to have the apple dressing or salad on top though. Do not know yet what I will put on top. I guess that I could make a mild gravy and not put the chicken on top of the spinach. I could just put olive oil on top of it. That would be good enough. Let me know what you think of the meat loaf. I may try that one next. Ron loves meat loaf.
I may try the quiche but Ron is not too crazy about it. Maybe sometime when my mom is here. She loves quiche as much as I do. We use to go to a tea room that served quiche but they closed. They decided that they could not make a go of it. It is so sad that tea rooms do not stay open for long around here. I love tea rooms. We are going to have to find another one.
The shootings happen a lot in down town St. Louis. People cannot just sit in their houses and not get shot. There was a little girl who was laying on her moms bed and was doing her homework and her mom was sitting there with her. They shot thru the window and missed the mom and killed the little girl. I think they said they had the wrong house. That just really makes me sick. They cannot find these guys because no one will step forward and identify the people that did it. I guess they are afraid for their families life. That is really a shame.
Moms can really make us feel good about our self’s sometimes. It makes you feel really good to know that you vote only for losers.lol I never tell my mom who I vote for unless we both voted for the same person. She gets mad at my sister because she tries to get mom to think the way she does. So mam will not talk to her at all about the elections. She will talk to me because I just listen. I know better then to argue with my mom.lol I guess that is because I am one of the youngest. My brother and I are the youngest in the family. So as we were growing up we were always wrong. We are use to it.
Tonight Ron is watching Jaws. That is not one of my favorite movies but it is better then the news. At least this is fiction. I would rather be watching a good love story. He will not watch those at all. He thinks that they are sappy. Oh well we just have different taste. The man has bad taste and I have excellent taste.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night. Good luck cooking for Gary. Hope that he likes the new recipes.
There is always some jerk that thinks that he will make a killing off this land here. The only thing it is hard to find any flat land. A lot of it is down hill so he will have to fill all that in. This guy is a pain.
ColleenHi Gail,
Ron is making up for it tonight. He is watch Cnn now. It is as bad as fox. I just want to stop watching it and go on. If I want to hear about the candidates I will read about them and then make up my mind. I am not registered as anything either. So do not vote in the primaries. I will be glad when all of that is over with. I am tired of hearing what news man is for what candidate. Who cares.
Thank you for voicing you opinion on the make up. I just want something to cover up somethings that I have developed since I have aged. It is hard to find something since I have not been able to wear it. They say that the It cosmetics is non allergenic so that is something that I need. It is hard to buy anything if you do not know. When we were younger there was not as much for people with allergies. Times are changing. I will check the cc cream out by Oil of Olay. That might work just as well.
We do live on 20 acres. But the place where he is putting up the steaks is right up against our property that is what worries us. He is asking for 100 thousand for a plot of land so right now we will not have to worry that much. Not many people are not going to give that much money mostly because they know that none of us did and we own a lot more. We will see what happens. The guy is a menace. The other night he had started four brush fires and then left with them still burning. Now he had no idea if the wind would pick up or what would happen. It could have started the whole woods on fire. We were lucky that is didn’t. The neighbors were watching them to make sure they did not get out of hand. He should have to pay a fine for doing that. He is not very responsible.
We could not figure that out either. Why would it not cover the baby as soon as she was born. I guess she is on the mom’s insurance until she is a month. I do not know but will find out when she starts getting the bills. She will tell us that is for sure. She will be upset. Insurance is not as good as it use to be. That is a shame too.
So you are a kindergarten drop out. That is funny. You could write a book about that. You could really make a good story out of that. You should write a book. I bet it would be funny. You could think of all kinds of capers that you could come up with. Your poor mom really did have her job cut out for her with you. lol I loved school when I was in the lower grades it was the older grades that I did not like. I thought that they demanded too much from us. Did a lot of skipping and that was not good. So my mom use to have trouble with me as I got older. I did not drop out though. We were told that if we dropped out of school that we would have to move out on our own. We all believed them and stayed in school. It is funny the things that we believe things like that. It was not until later on in life that we figured out that they would have not done that. They did get us all thru school though.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
We did not know any of the people that were in the flood. We just went to the QT station to get a soda to drink on our way home from my mom’s We do not know any of the people that work there but we did feel bad for all of them for being out of work for awhile. The Mc Donalds that was there may not open up again. They have gone thru this a few times so that is not good for them. It was just sad.
She is lucky that the glass from the glasses did not go into her eyes. That would have been a mess. She is lucky that she was not hurt worse then she was. You can really get hurt when you fall. I guess some people do not realize it. She should make up a good story and that will make them think. People can drive you crazy sometimes.
I will have to look up the recipe on their site. I did not write it down. I go on there sometimes just to get a recipe that will be easy to fix. They have been having some recipes that are easy and quick to fix. I have not watched the show from today. I did tape it and will watch it later. Ron is watching the news right now this time it s cnn. That is not much better. All they do is whine and put everyone down. I do not want to hear all of that. The things that they think have nothing to do with what the people of this country think. I do not know who I am going to vote for yet. It is too early to choose. I am not Democratic or Republican. I read what they all stand for and pick who I like the best. Sometimes it is hard to pick the right one. I will just be glad when the elections are over with. Then all this crap will stop.
You know that is not really fair. The guys just lose the hair on their heads and nowhere else. The least that could happen is nature would let us keep the hair on our heads. That is about all we have going for us. We seem to age faster then the men and lose more hair then the men. I guess it is just one of God’s little jokes. lol At least we can wear a wig and not look bad but if men wear a toupee they look a little strange. Oh well I guess we will have to live with it for the rest of our lives.
Well tonight we had bacon for dinner. Ron is getting grateful if we have any kind of a meal. He does not complain about the meals I make as much. I guess he figures that if he does he will not get another one for a while. Just fix bacon sandwiches for Gary. Before long he will be glad to eat anything that you cook. Either that or make bacon sandwiches with potato soup. That will do it. That hash brown quiche did look good though. I would like to try that one also.
We will not babysit for Aliza until she gets a little older. They will not leave her while she is so young. They also want to make sure that she eats enough and do not want to let her stay with anyone. She was talking about doing it when she sleeps thru the night. So that will be awhile. We will enjoy it no matter it happens.
Hope you enjoy your shows. I am hearing the news again tonight. Heaven help us.
ColleenHi Gail,
It was fun to be with the baby for awhile. You forget a lot of things about babies if there has not been one around for a long time. Jenny was lucky that she could nurse. I am glad that Danyielle does not have to worry about the baby not gaining weight breast feeding. I guess that is how she accepted it. Well at least she is gaining with the formula. She is such a pretty baby. I guess that I will be bragging about her for a long time.
Every thing about the news drives him crazy. The political things and just the news in general. He can find fault in someone saying that they had to leave to get a drink of water. He just needs to stop watching for awhile. He must be reading my mind he is watching Duck Dynasty that he taped last night. I am glad to hear that.Hope that he does not change the channel again. It will be nice. One night without all of the getting angry. At least with this show he is laughing and not listening to all the hype about the news. Ron needs to do something like that. He may not get as mad about someone dying. ( movie star)
We may have milk weed around here. I have never looked for any. Will still look for the seeds so we can plant some. It would not hurt to have plant more. Would like to have more butter flies. We found some surveyors sticks on our property. We are trying to find out what is going on. We think that this guy bought up a lot of land around here so he can build a subdivision. I do not know if it will work out for him because he is asking a lot of money for the land. Way to much for the land around here. If he starts we will have to find a place to move to. That would be irritating.I guess we should have all got together and put some regulations on the land around here. Either that or we should have found out who owned it and tried to buy it from them. We all really goofed.
Oh my gosh Gail. That was a bad place to live. It is good that your nose and foot healed. It is understandable why your parents moved away from there. It was good for you there is no telling what else would happen to you. Your poor sister must have felt bad for hitting you with the bat. You caused a flood.Your mom and dad must have had to watch you constantly. You must have wanted to do a water dance. lol You were a funny kid when you were young. There was no telling what you would do. That is funny. Your poor mom.
Your dinner sounds really good. It must have been a hit with Greg. He sure ate a lot of it. It takes the guys a long time to figure out that it is better to bring things from home for lunch. Ron use to take left overs to work for lunch all the time. Once in awhile he would eat in the lunch room at work but not everyday.
Kevin goes back to work tomorrow. He was telling us that he could have taken six months off but they do not pay him for that. So he opted out on that one. The baby will go on his insurance after she is a month old. I do not understand why they wait that long but they do. Not sure if they did that when the kids were babies or not.
How are Piper, Kendall and Lanchlan doing. Hope they are doing good and Kendall is back into the swing of things at schools. I hope that she is having a good time in school now. It is hard on her at school. I wonder why it affects some kids like that but others it does not bother at all.
That is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I wonder why she has that spot on her face? Did she hit her mouth on the ground or does she know? That is not good to have bruises like that. It makes you look like you have been in a fight. That is uncomfortable to have the bruises. I am glad that she did not massage her face. I do not think that it would have done her any good. Hope that she is being careful and you will not have to check her feet for much longer.
Did you watch the Chew today? I like that chicken that Micheal made. I want to try that but without the Swiss chard. It would be better to use spinach for us. If it is bitter then that is not for us. I do not think that I would make the sauce either. Would have to think of some other sauce to put on top. I like the apples but not all the lemon juice. They seem to like their food really spicy or a lot of citrus in it. That is too acid in a meal. Cole slaw would taste better. They did not ask me though. For some reason they think that they can cook better then I can.lol Could it be that they are chefs? Wish I could cook like they do. They are really good.
The minute I come in here and get on the computer her turns the news on. He watches fox news all the time. Our computer is in the dinning room close to the living room. It is basically one big room. So I have to listen to some of it but can tune out a lot. I am not interested and do not like to listen to news men tells us what we should think.Then Ron gets mad and starts complaining. I keep trying to tell him all he has to do it turn the channel. It is easy he has the remote and that will make it very simple.
It was nice to be able to spend time with Danyielle and Aliza. She is such a pretty baby. It will be so nice to spend more time with her. She is so sweet. We are going to let Danyielle and Kevin have a night out and we will watch the kids. It will be nice for them to have some alone time and go to dinner. That way we can do what we want with the baby and they will not be there wanting to hold her or anything like that. We can also spend some time with Owen.
I do not know if the hair has disappeared or it has moved to our chins and around our faces. I do not have a lot of hair on my legs either. I do not know why that is but it has. My legs use to have to be shaved a lot. Now if there is a hair there it amazes me. I do not know why that happened but it did. My one daughter said that I am getting a mustache. Do you get that also? My hair is thinning on the top of my head and I am getting to be a mess. I am turning into an ugly old woman.lol Now all I need is a wart on my nose and I will look like a witch. Then I will scare all the kids away. Then it will be time to get the witch hat and the black dress. It will be like Halloween here all the time.
This stuff that they were showing is not foundation. It is just one thing and you do not need anything else on your face. When they put it on it looked really creamy. It was a little thicker then foundation. Guess I should just try it and see what it is liike.
I did not realize that Gary was that fussy about his food. That makes it really hard on you. I do not know what we will have for super bowl treats. Sometimes I cook snacky things and some times I do not. It just depends oh how Ron feels about it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good evening.
ColleenHi Sue,
Good to hear that your snow is melting. You really got a lot of it. That is really nice that he will not let you go out to the mill. It is probably not a good idea to go wandering around out there. You sure do not want to fall. That is nice that your drive and side walk are cleared. It did not stay on the ground as long as usual. Is your weather getting warmer? It would be nice if it would stay a little warmer at night so all of that will not refreeze
Be careful out in the snow and ice.
