Hi Adele,
It is good to see you back again. I did not know that you had to check that box every time that you get on here. This sure is different from the other site. It will just take a little time to get use to this.
I have been watching the Chew. They have had some really good recipes on there. The way Micheal Symon made his gravy was a lot of work. I do not go thru all of that when I make gravy. I do not want butter in my gravy there is enough fat in the turkey drippings. We have gravy with every meal where there is a meat that you can meat gravy with. My mom always made some and I make mine like she makes hers. I am with you on the scalloped potatoes. That made a lot and if no one likes it but us we would way too much left over. It is better to make things that you do not need all those ingredients in it. Especially if you are making it for Thanks giving. There are too many other things that we make that it would be too much to add to the meal. I bought a lot of premade things for my dinner this year. It should be interesting. I wonder if the kids will notice.
I have been watching the Christmas movies. They always seem to cheer me up. Some of them they showed so much last year that I do not watch them. Ron will not watch them until closer to Christmas. So the ones that he does not want to watch I dvr. Then I can watch them when I feel like it. That is what I do with the Chew and the qvc shows that I want to see. Well then if I do not want to listen to them talk about an item I can just fast forward and move on. They have really started to talk a lot about an item. Especially about the TSV then they have to show it twice. One time is enough,.
Did you see the dessert that Carla made out of left over Halloween candy? That was interesting. It looked kind of good. I do not have that much candy left after my granddaughters came over a couple of times. THey ate all they could while they were here and then they took some home. They were filling their pockets. We thought it was funny. I told them they could get a bag and put it in there. I do not know when they felt they could not just get a bag and put candy in there. They have always done that. Except for the m&m’s that Ron likes and will not let them take all of them with them. He has a candy dispenser he puts them in. He is going thru his second child hood. lol He said that he likes to have some candy here for when the other kids come over. Really he wants to eat some also.
Today I am thankful that all of my children and grand children.
ColleenHi Gail,
You are right this is the best country and we need to fight to keep it that way. Not find fault in our elected officials but write to them or e-mail them and tell them what we think. I can just see Ron in political office. We would all be writing to him and telling him enough is enough.lol There are somethings right now that are going on with the military that worry me. I will be glad when we get a new president.
I have been watching the Christmas movies. I watched a Christmas Carol last night but was very disappointed that they cut so much out of the movie but showed all types of commercials. It was hard to watch they had so many commercials. So when they show an old movie I will dvr it and then I can skip over them and just watch the movie. They are showing a lot of reruns of movies that they had last year. They are supposed to have all types of new movies on this year but they will be old by the time the season is over. They are supposed to show a new one every Saturday. I am with you on QVC,. They do not have as much on there this year. It seems like a lot of things that they have are from last year. Even Mr. Christmas has got the same things this year. I was hoping that they would have some new stuff. I thought they were more expensive this year. I may be wrong but it just seemed like it was. I am glad that I am giving out gift cards this year. Maybe I am just not in the mood to shop for everyone this year. I still have to find some long sleeve tops for my mom. That is all she wants for Christmas.
I went a little crazy and bought some of the Honora pearls. I got them when they had the sets with the necklace, bracelets and earrings. I cannot wear the earrings because they are for pierced ears. I got them in the lavender. They are pretty but now I am wondering if I will ever wear them. I do not know who I can give them to. I thought about giving it to my mom but am not sure that she wants anymore jewelry. She is getting rid of stuff now. That is probably one item that I should not have bought. They are really pretty though.
I bought some of the sides off of qvc also. I got the mac and cheese and the sweet potatoes. That way I will not have to fix all of that. The little ones will probably like the mac and cheese. It is nice that all I have to do is pop them in the oven and fix them. I will put them in a regular dish like I did it myself. Make them think that I really worked hard fixing dinner. I am thinking of getting the ready made mash potatoes also. They ate them last year and did not know the difference. Either that or my mashed potatoes taste so bad that they were just glad that I did not make them. Everything else I will have to fix myself. There is going to be a lot of store bought food this year the ready made type. They do not like to help so this is what they will get. Ron will help me. He is really good about that.
That goofy cardinal. You would think that he would be so sore by now that he would move on. He must really want to come into your house. What ever he sees he wants it really really bad.lol Poor Rocky it must be hard on him. People have a hard time with the time change no telling what it does to our animals.
I heard about Dan Wheelers wife. Someone said that he was talking about getting a cup of coffee and it was the first time he has done that by himself in 37 years. I cannot remember if he has ever said anything about having kids. I hope that he does because he is going to need someone to help him thru this time.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenGail, I am glad that you got your stitches out. Hope you will not have anymore trouble with your teeth.
ColleenHi Barbara,
Good luck to Jerry’s brother. If his mom is like mine she is not moving out of her house for love or money. We have tried and she always says that she is not ready yet. That is nice that his mom found a friend in the hospital. Maybe when they get to go home they will remain friends. Hope that she is feeling better now.
That is nice that Jerry”s oldest brother is coming home. He may but the younger one in his place. Jerry and his older brother get along really good don’t they? I think that I remember you saying that before. He probably does not care if he makes waves or not. He is going to do what he thinks is best and get Jerry’s input. That is how it should be. The younger brother does not know what is best. We do not any of us know for sure. It is always good to have brothers and sisters to help to make decisions.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good day and will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Gail,
There is not much going on around here. It is kind of boring. I mostly have been fighting with Ron trying to keep him from watching news. He watches that and I have to listen how all politicians lie and they are no good. He does not either party are any party that has someone running for president. I have been trying to keep him from watching but it does not work all the time.
That is great that Jenny and Adam ran in the marathon. It must be something to see with all those people running and no one quits. They seem not to care where they finish they are just doing it to prove that they can.
Our kids all went out trick or treating. The older girls just went to family and then came home. After that one went to a friends house and spent the night. Kylie stayed home to watch spooky movies with her mom. She was going to go to a party but decided not to go. There was some movies that she wanted to see so she stayed home. She is a strange kid sometimes. lol The other kids had a good time running all over the place.
I wonder if the time change will effect the cardinal. He needs something to stop him for a while. His brain must be turning into mush by now. I wonder if they have a brain? Seems like they would not bang into windows if they did.
Well the doctors office said that they got a hold of the gastro.and his nurse will call and make the appointment with me themselves. I have not heard from them yet so if I do not I will call them on Friday. I am not sure when they got a hold of those people. I am just really getting tired of all of this.
I cannot believe that Thanks giving is so close. I have to get the turkey this week so we have it and do not have to worry about getting it. I am not sure if they will have enough pumpkin or not. If not I will buy frozen pumpkin pies. I may not bake any pies this year. Ron will have to burn the boxes and I will let the kids think that I made them. I will just transfer them into my dishes and they will never know the difference. It will be better then doing all that cooking.
I am thankful for my mom. We are so blessed to still have her here.
ColleenHi Barbara,
I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your mil. I hope that she come thru the surgery okay. They should throw that man in jail and throw away the key. I wonder how long he had been watching her. That is terrible what is becoming of the people in this country. They have no compassion. Please keep us posted.
I think that people who are in the hospital would like to see the Quacker tops then those scrubs. The quacker is a lot happier and makes people smile. When we worked at the nursing home we had to wear white uniforms and that was boring. Even when all the other homes were having their staff wear scrubs that were all different colors they made us wear white. It was very discouraging. The white always got stained and you had to be careful of what you wore underneath it.
It is a pain trying to pick out an insurance that will do everything that you need. Then you have to make sure that they take your doctor. I also have to make sure that they take my chiropractor. There are a lot of insurance that will not take them. I am not sure that they would take this if I was not going thru the pain clinic. It was so much better when our insurance was thru where my husband worked. We had a lot better coverage. Not sure that it is true anymore since this obama care.
I hope that Jerry is doing okay. It must be really hard on him with his mom in the hospital. They do make them walk around a lot sooner then they use to. It is a good thing that they do that. I know when my mom was sick and in the hospital they would make her get up two or three times a day. It was good because she would have stayed in bed all the time.
Well that is about all from here. Take care and Your mil and you all will be in my prayers.
ColleenHi Gail,
They had some different things for this shower. They had baked chicken legs and wings, potato salad, lettuce salad, some dip, and that sandwich. They had food that I would have never would have thought of bringing things like that. We had finger food at all of the showers that I have ever went to. I guess people do things different in different areas. all of the food was bought and not homemade. So that was different.
That is a shame that it rained while they were running the marathon. I hope that they do not get sick from being in the damp and cold. Was it nice out for the kids to go out and get their candy? It always seems to rain on Halloween. It did not rain here but it was cold and cloudy. They kept saying that we were going to have rain but it never happened.
That is nice that Kendall helped you pick out the gifts for the little girl that you are buying for. She will be an onp volunteer in training. That is nice that you got all the things that the little girl had on her list. She will be so excited when she opens her gifts. That is just a wonderful thing that you are doing and all the volunteers that do this. You really make it nice for them and they have one day that they do not have to think about their illness and the family can just relax and watch their kids have fun.
The restaurant that you ate at sounds really nice. Chinese is one of my favorites foods. We usually go over by where they cook the food in front of you. Ron does not like them tossing food at you. A lot of people think that it is fun and they are doing it in fun. You are either supposed to catch it in your mouth or hand. Ron just does not get the concept. My daughter got sort of mad at him when he got upset. I thought they both were funny. So needless to say we do not go and eat Chinese with her anymore.
That is funny about Piper eating the jelly. It must have been pretty good. That was nice that you and your daughter and family got to go to breakfast. It is nice to be with the family to go out to breakfast. That is funny that Lachlan and Piper wanted soup for breakfast. They must really like soup. Sounds like you had an interesting breakfast.
That is funny that Gary and Greg do not like Peanuts.
have a good night
ColleenHi Cynthia,
How do you walk in those shoes. I would fall on my face if I wore those heels. They are cute shoes though. I am like Adele I love to look but have to be happy for the people that can wear them. I cannot.
I like that top also. I liked it in the blue I think it was. That is a pretty shirt. I guess you can wear sandals all year long. We are done with them for the winter now. We are into tennis shoes and boots.
You had a lot of trick or treaters. That must be fun to see all the kids all dressed up. We do not get any at our house. We live too far out in the country and there is not as many houses here. No street lights either so the road is dark. It is just an old country road.
Hope you had a Happy Halloween.
ColleenHi Adele,
It will be fun to have the kids over for Pizza. They are going to love the ghost cookies. Do they go trick or treating in your neighbor hood. We ended up not going to the trick or trunk this year. We were both tired and just stayed home. When we went to the baby shower there was a wreck on the highway. We sat there for 30 minutes before we could move. I could not believe that we sat there that long. We were too far from an exit to get off the highway. So we had to sit there. So we were late getting to the shower and it just all went down hill from there. The shower was really nice. She got a lot of nice gifts.
I hope that they give me some new ideas for Thanks giving dinner. I want to try a new veggie dish. The same old thing gets boring. I am so tired of green bean casserole. We have been having that since I was a kid. So it is time to move on. I guess we just keep doing it because it is an all time favorite. The kids were getting to where they wanted it for Christmas also. That was a little too much.
That is really good that Aizen and JJ like the chicken and dumplings. It is good for them. My grandson Owen really likes them also. He was all excited after we took him to the chicken and dumpling dinner at the church. So when we go to cracker barrel he wants them there also. We got him started. I do not know if his mom makes them or not. She probably does not because she is worried about her weight. She sure is not like me. lol
I am about to give up on getting in to see that doctor. I may just call that doctor myself and see if he will get the referral from my doctor. That may cut out the middle man and I can get in to see him. It is not fun fighting with these doctors all the time. I guess that is how it is going to be until they get rid of this obama care. That was the dumbest thing that they ever passed without our consent. We should have been able to vote on that.
Well that is about all from here. Have a Happy Halloween.
