Hi Adele,
It is fun to hear the kids talk in the back ground. They always want their mom’s when they are on the phone. My kids were like that and so are my grands. They have a lot to say when you are on the phone but do not say much when you get of. Maybe they think that they will get the answer they want if they ask while you are busy.
We have oatmeal for dinner a lot. It is simple and easy to fix and on days when I do not feel like eating that tastes good. Ron like eggs and bacon for dinner sometimes. I do not like eggs so he get voted down a lot. lol
That is nice that Steph wants to come with the whole family. It will be nice when they come over so you can see the kids. She needs to get her license so she can drive where she wants to go. That is nice that they call Johnny to come fill in. Sounds like they are happy with his work. it is a shame that they do not give him his own route and then he would not be late so much.
It will be nice if you do not get as much snow as you had last year. It did not seem like it was ever going to quit. Now it is the rain. It does not sound like it is ever going to go away. We are supposed to have more rain here Thursday thru Saturday. We sure do not need that. It will be nice to just see the sun for awhile. Snow would not be too bad either. We do not need a lot but some would be nice. It is so pretty when it snows.
It seems like the colleges always go back later then the other schools. It is hard to believe that Marrissa will be nineteen. She looks so young in the pictures that you have posted on here. Both of the girls are so pretty. That is unusual to want a cookie instead of a cake. They must be really good. it will be hard to find corn beef this time of the year. I think that some stores carry it all the time just not as much of it. It sounds really good though. She is going to have a nice birthday,.
I hope that it all works out with your friends. It will be nice to go out for dinner. Do not forget your pillow to put behind your back. You want to be comfortable sitting there. I am getting bossy. Hope that it does not snow when you decide to go.
Your roast sounds really good. We are eating left overs all week this week. We have so much food in the fridge. The ham is all gone but we have a lot of other things that we cooked that we have left overs. It is nice not having to cook this week.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
The straps that Ron gave Joe were the kind that you put on the back of the truck to keep things in the truck. He forgot what he had done with them until he opened his gift. They do stuff like that to each other every year. You never know what they will wrap up. Ruth and I do not get involved with their antics. That is really funny about Greg. It is good that he did recognize his own underwear. That is really funny.
We will take the tree down first on Thursday. That is probably the only thing that we will do then. Ron will have to help me this year. I am not doing it myself. If he will not help I can leave it up for another couple of days. Then he will help. He is the one that gets in a hurry for everything to come down. So he needs to help get it down. He will definitely have the star down since he tied it on the top of the tree. He is such a pain some days. We will leave the battery lights out until they battery go out. It is easier to do it that way and then we can just get rid of the batteries and not have to worry about storing them. We just have them on the railing though. So there is not that many.
I do not do a lot of things around here that have anything to do with assembly. Ron always does that because he thinks that I will break things if I try to assemble it. I already have two gifts bought for next year. That is strange. I am really starting early this year. Sorry I misunderstood and thought it was already fixed. Sounds like he knows what he is doing. Ron can fix somethings and then others he is not good at. It just depends.
That is so sad that Kendall has such a hard time going to school. I hope that she grows out of that soon. You cannot help but feel bad for her. I hope that she gets back into things again once she starts again. This week sounds like it is going to be hard for her. It has to be hard on Jenny also. To watch what she goes thru when she goes back to school.
Ethan got into a fight at the park yesterday. Some little boy said that he was going to hit Kaylee and when he went to do it Ethan punched him. He was afraid that he would be in trouble when he told his parents. They told him he did the right thing not to let him hit her,. Now he is afraid that all the kids will be mad at him. I think that he will be surprised when they are still talking to him. He worries so much about stuff like that. Kids you never know what they are thinking.
She is letting the father have a vote they just are not telling anyone else. She does not want to hear other peoples opinion. She should know that people will tell her what they think no matter when she tells them. It is just funny. We liked the names that she had picked out for Owen. Oh well we will have to wait.
That note that little girl wrote was pretty good. I bet her parents got a good laugh out of it when they saw it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
Those bacon buns sound really good. I hope that everyone enjoys them. Glad that your mixer is fixed again so you can start baking. Well Greg can start baking again. He sounds like he is good at it.
That is the first family that we have heard that had goose for dinner on Christmas day. She must have done a good job fixing it or none of you would have eaten it. Do you remember if she stuffed it or not? I wonder what they stuffed the goose with or what they did to make it taste good. I may have done something wrong when I cooked mine. I do not know.
Melissa did leave us enough to eat the next night. She just made a lot of it and we knew that we would not eat it all. So we had enough for one more meal. She is really getting to be a good cook. She really tries hard and likes to try a lot of new recipes.
We had a nice time. We ended up not playing dominoes. My back was sore and she had surgery and her leg was swelling. We left so she could lay down for a little while and get the swelling down. We did have a nice time visiting for awhile. We exchange Christmas gifts and talk. It was funny because Ron wrapped some straps that Joe brought with him when they went to go pick up the food.Everyone got a good laugh at that.
That is nice that you will have a break from babysitting. It is fun to watch them but it is also nice to take a break and do things at home. Like reading a good book or watching a good movie. Wednesday is the last day that the tree is up. I will have to take all that stuff down on Thursday. The time sure went fast. Ron does not want me to leave things up as long as I did last year. I do not know why. I had it down by valentines day.lol
I guess when we were away from our parents we had a family to worry about. So we did not think about it as much. Now we are going thru it we realize how hard it was. I am glad that you heard from Brent. Sounds like he is happy now. I hope that the snow melts soon for them and they can get back to normal. It is strange we are getting all the rain and they are getting all the snow. Things sure got turned around this year.
Good job Gail. I would keep getting more water on the floor then he wants. Then he will always keep mopping. It would be nice if we could all find things that we do not want to do and the guys would do them for us. That is hard to do though.
It is nice that the brace is helping your foot. Hope that Greg’s leg or foot gets better soon.
ColleenHi Adele,
I did not go to a Christmas concert. We just had Christmas here and the kids stayed with us until New Years eve. Then my daughter came back and they went to my other daughters for New Years eve. They came back the next day and they fixed dinner. We did have a nice time with the kids though.
The water has gone down in almost all of the areas that flooded. There are still a few places that are still flooded but not as many as before. Thank God that it has gone back down for most areas. The kids did go back to school here but some of the bus routes were changed. I hope that this all goes away soon and everyone can get back to normal.
I hope that Gary’s surgery goes smoothly. I agree with Gail there are a lot of things that you can buy that will work until he can take a bath. I had to use those towlettes to wash with. I could not take a bath so they have a way of taking a sponge bath and other things that you can use. I am sure the doctor will tell you what they are and where you can get them. I hope that Gary has a quick recovery.
I hope that you will get to see Steph soon. So you can see the kids. You are right they did need to spend alone time together. It is hard when your spouse is working a lot of hours and they do not see that much of each other. So I hope that you will see them soon.
We ended up not playing dominoes. We left early my back was sore. Ruth had surgery on her leg and it was swelling so we left so she could lay down for awhile. She just had the surgery not too long ago so she still has some swelling. We did have a nice time talking and laughing together. We are planning to all go out to dinner one night soon.
Little mama is doing really good. She is just waiting for the baby to be born. She will not tell any of us what she is going to name the baby. She said that she has three names picked out but she does not want to know what anyone thinks. So we will have to wait. She is being very unfair. lol I told her that tonight. She was just laughing. At least she still has a sense of humor. She may lose it the closer it gets to time. She only has 8 more days to go. If the baby comes on time.
Well that is about all from here. I will be praying for Gary that he does not go thru much pain after the surgery.
ColleenHi Adele and Barbara,
we have moved to another page. It starts May 2016 be prosperous and something else. We are over there now. So come on over.
ColleenThat goes for anyone else that wants to join in.
Hi Gail,
I do like chicken livers. They are pretty good. So I may like it. I have had goose one time and did not like it. I wonder if it was the way I fixed it or what happened. It just was too salty an just did not have a good taste. My oldest two grands were here and they did not like it either. So have not tried it again.
She had let it go too far before she went to get help. By then she had done a lot of damage to her body. She did all that so she could lose weight for her daughters wedding. I can just imagine how guilty her daughter felt knowing that her mom had lost weight for that occasion. She still had another daughter that lived at home. The whole thing was so sad.
It is a lot more fun to let him take the blame for the mixer breaking. I would blame Ron and would stick by it.lol The rolls sound really good. You really use a lot of pork in them. They would be worth trying but do not know if I could make them. Sounds like you have enough to last you for awhile. Do you freeze them or is it just enough for you to eat over a few days? I am getting really nosy now.
Melissa fixed dinner for us last night. She brought all the groceries that she needed to make it. It was a chicken, tater tot casserole. It was really good and she used all kinds of different herbs in it. I did not see what all she put in it. We sent the rest of it home with her. It would have been way too much for us. We kept just enough for us to have left overs. I hope that you will be able to get over to Jenny’s to spend time with her and the kids. They will want to show you all of the things that they got from Santa and from other people. It is so funny when they are young they want to show you everything that they received. When they get older do not care as much and cannot remember what they got. The only way the oldest two remembered what they got as far as clothes is they wore them over to our house. I guess they just do not want to be bothered telling you everything.
I will have to watch for the Christmas Carol concert. That sounds really good. I have not been to a concert all year this year. That is not good. We need to go. Have to wait until after the baby is born and take my oldest to a concert or a play. She has not been to one either. I am not sure her boyfriend likes that stuff either. He gets along really well with Ron so they can stay together while we go out.
We are supposed to go to a friends house tonight. We will exchange presents and sit and talk and probably play dominoes. We really do live an exciting life. if someone stayed with us they would find us really boring. lol
Well that is about all from here. We will have to let Barbara and Adele know that we have moved. It is nice that you start a new page for us each month. The other page was getting really long. It takes so long to scroll down.
Enjoy the rest of the week-end.
ColleenHI Gail,
How nice that Greg fixed the pate for you to eat. I have never had liver pate. I do not know if I would like it or not. We did not have anything special on News Year Eve. We just had crackers, cheese and summer sausage, I was surprised that Ron made it until midnight. You should have been giving Greg strong coffee so he could make it until midnight lol
I do not know if that even works for sure. You just hear people say that a lot.
It would be interesting to see if we would have changed anyone’s life if we had not been here. I really doubt that I would have. You would have changed one life for sure. Your adopted child. He may have had to stay in foster homes all his young life. You help so many people. Look at what you do for the onp. You and Greg are really good people and would have left a big hole in life if you would not have been here.
I agree with you on that new year new you. We all need to be happy with who we are and not try to change how we look all the time. It is nice to be thin or built just right but if you are not happy about it why keep it up. Then there are some of us that get sick and that is how you lose the weight. That is not worth it either. I worked with a girl that made herself sick to lose weight. She could not stop after she lost so much weight. She ended up having a lot of complications from doing that and she died at 37. She was way too young to die. it was really sad. Jeanne always had it right. Live and be happy with yourself. When you think about it if you are not happy with yourself you will never be happy with anyone else or anything else.
That is cool that Greg was making buns today. They sound really good. I have never heard of them before. Not that I can remember. How do you make them? Is it made with pieces of bacon or with the bacon grease? This sounds like a weird question but I am just wondering. As you can tell I am not good at baking any type of bread. How in the world did he break your mixer? It seems like that would be pretty hard to do. Especially a Kitchen aide. They are pretty sturdy. I can see why you would want to have it replaced right away. You would really miss it.
Well that is about all from here have a good night.
ColleenHi All,
Sue that is one thing about getting older we do not have to drink to feel dizzy. All we have to do it take our medicine and we have trouble walking.lol Have a happy New Year.
Gail,
I do have egg nog but Ron will not put anything in it. I do not understand. He thinks that I fall enough without adding liquor to the mix. He is no fun. At least if I had a few drinks I would have a reason to fall.lol
Barbara, enjoy the egg nog and have a ball.
Adele drink all you can. You never know what tomorrow will be like.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! To everyone. I hope that all of you have a healthy and happy new year.
