Hi Adele,
You can either use the cap or foil to do the high lights. I go to this young girl that has a small shop in the town close to us. It only has one chair in it. So she makes time for anyone that wants something done to their hair. She is young so have to help her with my old style hair. lol She is good though.
I bet your brownies will look really cute with you putting them in the pumpkin baking dish. Will they be in a shape of a pumpkin? I have a lot of zucchini in the freezer. I am waiting for it to cool down so I can start baking. It has been to hot and humid for me to bake. You are a brave lady to bake in all this heat. Even with the air it gets really hot in here when the oven is on. Can you bake bread in a ninja? I know they have an oven setting but do not know if it will work for that or not. That would be nice you would not have to turn the oven on.
I hope that all of your friends are safe and they do not get hit by the bad storms. It seems odd that it is hurricane weather now. It is getting to the end of our storm season. I guess it will depend on how bad the hurricanes get in certain areas. I would not want to live in Florida for that reason. I guess they do not want to live in our area because of the tornadoes. I guess it is all what you are use to. I sure do like our winters though.
That is good news that your dish washer is fixed. We cannot get cable out where we live we have to have dish or some other satellite company. I will think of it when I get off of here. We hear from them a lot wanting us to switch to their company. My mind is gone tonight. I need a new brain.lol
I must have missed something. What is up with Greg and his drone. I hope that he is having fun with it. Did you hear what Clinton Kelly said about drones? He said that it is okay to have one but one flew over his backyard he was going to put it down. It was funny. We could not watch the chew for about 3 days because Dish and channel 30 were having a disagreement and it took that time to settle it. I was gald that it was settled that fast as I do not like to miss the chew and it is almost time for DWTS to be coming on. Have you heard who is going to be on there this year? I have not heard a word. I love to watch that show. Hope that they have people on there that I know. That makes it better.
Well that is about all from here. We will miss your pictures. I am sure they will come up with a way to post them again. At least I hope that they do. How will get to see all those goodies that you bake.

Hi Gail,
That is nice that you sil is going back to work for awhile. That will really help. I hope that it will keep her mind off of things for awhile. We are praying for her. I hope that by some chance they will give her the results sooner then she thought they would.You never know about these doctors.
They are supported by taxes and then they want us to vote on bond issues to give them more money. Well here lately they are not getting the money. People feel like they have wasted it. It is like that with most of the schools in mo. I do not understand how they can spend so much money and have so little to offer the kids. I guess it is just me but I do not feel that schools are as good as they were when our kids were in school. They definitely do not learn as much as we did when we were in school. I better stop and not start complaining about the schools.
I will still use my other card. It is something that they have started and like I said that if it is something that I really want I will get it but if not then I won’t. That is usually how I do it now. Well I guess I always have.
I am hoping so too. They never make us wait this long to get a peak of the tsv. It is not even in the Insider magazine. I was a little disappointed. They have all these other products that they show but not quacker. I guess people start ordering and they sell out faster. I do not know I am probably wrong.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good rest of the week-end

Hi Gail,
That is terrible that they are making your sil wait so long for the results of the test. That will give her more time to worry. That is not right to do that to someone. They scare you before they do the test and then make you wait for what seems forever. At least she has her boyfriend with her to help her thru it. I will be praying for her.
Here they felt that we needed new schools the old one were to costly to run. So they built these new schools and they were not big enough for all of the kids. We none us understand why they did it and now everyone is a little angry. They are going to have to build on to the high school because now it is too small. Unless they decide to build a new school for the Juniors and Seniors. That is about their speed. The halls are so crowded you would not believe that it is a new school. It is a mess.
We did not have fun with our daughters dressing a brother in girls clothes. They did miss out on a lot of good times with a brother. They did not have the youngest to pick on either because she was so much younger then they were they watched out for her. It is funny how different girls are.
I thought that maybe the q-card thing is a promotional deal. I do not have a q card. I just use my card that I have. I just do not pay attention to it all. If I want it bad enough I will buy it. If I cannot get it on the card that I have I just will not get it. I does not matter to me. I do not know how this thing will work for them. It may drive people away from QVC and to the other shopping channels. You never know how these things are going to work out. Like I said though it may save me some money.lol
We are like you Gail where we live.We have all kinds of wild creatures that run around here. They usually do not bother you if you do not bother them. I had to laugh at Adele’s story about her neighbor. That probably would not happen again in a million years. That is too funny.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Adele,
Your kids did start early this year. They all start about the same time here. Some start three days later then the others. The college always starts later then the regular schools.I never did understand that but that is how they do it. I wonder if it has to do with some of the teachers having kids. I do not know for sure. That is just a guess.
I have not seen a picture of an eagle yet. I wonder if they put it somewhere else. There is not telling on this site. I think that they are figuring this all out still They just have to close down that other site by Sept. 15th. That is all I can figure out. I think that this site gets easier as we go along. Not that I understand any better at least we can get on here and found how to add friends and accept them. That is more then I could do at first. We just have to hang in there until we figure it all out.
It is hard to decide if what to do with our hair. Mine is always short. It is getting so thin that if I let it grow it looks terrible. My hair is highlighted and it covers the grey or you do not notice it as much. You do not have to do it as often as having it dyed. At least that is what I was told. It also makes your hair look thicker or at least mine. You probably do not need that though. I wish that my hair was as thick as it was when I was younger. I guess that is just another thing that you lose as you get older. Some of us do.
Our cool weather is leaving us. We are supposed to be back in the 90’s next week. I do not like that hot weather but it will not last long. We have to keep remembering that our hot weather will not be around much longer. Fall will be here soon and we will all be a lot more comfortable. We did sit on the porch for awhile but then came back in. I am ready to turn off the air for the year and open all the windows. That is the best time of the year.
Well that is about all from here. I hope that JJ enjoyed school. My grands really like it. I think that they were bored with summer vacation.

Hi Adele,
It sounds like we are all finding different ways to accept friends. I just did what they said to do and it worked. So who knows what will happen next time.lol
The kids really like school. I think that they were all ready to go back. They were getting bored with summer. I think the main thing that they miss is sleeping in in the morning. My grands like to stay up late and sleep until noon. The older two girls especially. The college kids have not started yet either. I am not sure when they start. I do not have anyone in college right now. I really hope that we do not for awhile. The grands are growing too fast.
The Chew has been a rerun for a long time. The new ones start on September 8th. I hope that they have some new recipes. I liked the one that they had on today. It was really good. I like the ones about parties. They did the surprise party yesterday and that one was funny. They do some things that kind of surprise you sometime. Well it is more what they say then what they do.
i hope that you get the cool weather that we have been having here. It is only in the upper 70’s and lower 80’s. We have been enjoying sitting out on the deck. I hope that the almanac is wrong about a rough winter again. I like the snow but I know that last year you got more then you share. I like cold weather better then the hot weather. I use to like all the activities that go on when it is cold outside and snowing. Now I cannot do that stuff anymore. We use to go sleigh riding and build snow men. We had our grands here and when our kids were young. Oh well things change and our kids have to take over where we left off.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

HI Gail,
I figured out how to accept friends. You got to notifications and hit on that and anyone trying to befriend will be there. So I have now accepted my friends. Now I would like to let you think that I did this on my own but I didn’t. I got a friend request on it on it they told me how to do it. I got an e-mail saying that i had a friend request and that is where it told me where to find it. I have not tried to friend anyone yet. I will try that next. This is just crazy. We are going to get this. I tell myself every time that I have trouble doing something.lol
I hope that we do not lose Barbara and Debbie. Even if they just check in once in awhile. That would be great. Just if they just say hi that would be good enough. We have lost too many people on here since I have began on here.
Kylie was the one that wrote the comic books and the illustrations. She has joined drama club and loves it. She has been in a couple of the school plays. She has not done as much writing as she use to. I hope that she takes that up again but do not know if she will or not. She does really good at it. She may turn out to be a play right. That would be funny if she did. Brooklin has not expressed what she wants to do. The last time that she said anything about what she wanted to be is when she wanted to be a princess. That was the last time she ever mentioned what she was interested in. She really did not want to grow up. She wanted to be little all her life. I think that is because she was afraid of going on in school These poor kids go to so many schools. The first school that they go to is k-2 then they got to another school that is 3-4 then they go to a different school that is 5 -6 and then they go to junior high and then to high school. That is a lot of changing schools. They started doing this when they started building new schools and not making them big enough to accommodate the kids. They did not think of what it would do to the kids. Every school has their own rules and they just get use to one school and then they are off to another one. I think that is one of the dumbest things that they did. It is so confusing. Kylie did not have it that bad they did not build the new school until she was a little older. Schools do not think of what they are doing anymore.
Poor little Kendall. She gets upset about a lot of things. Bless her heart. Maybe next year she will do better. She will be a little older. It has to be hard on her feeling that way. It is a shame that you cannot just give her a hug and make her feel better. Kids are so funny and they are all different.
That is so funny that Lachlan wanted to play dress up with the girls. I guess if you only have girls to play with at home you have to do what they are doing. It would have made a cute picture but he would have been upset with you for taking it. That is funny about Piper. She sound like a little cutie. She is going to be a lot of fun when she grows up.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night

Hi Adele,
Thank you for letting me know that I can make the sauce with the frozen tomatoes. I will do that after it cools down and then freeze the gravy. (or sauce) I froze what I made last year and it was nice to have during the winter. My mom and everybody in the family really liked it. So need to make it again.
I am still having trouble on this site. If you can help me figure out how to accept friend requests that will be great. I have asked Gail but if you can help that would work great. I am desperate.
Your kids start really late compared to ours. Poor Heather. That is going to be rough on her if either kids decide to move away from your state. She may have to move with them.lol It was hard when my first one went to college but after that we were okay with it. We heard more from her after she went to college then we did when she lived at home. She was always on the go. Heather is lucky that Marissa is going to college close to home. Kids find out that they are not as big as they think.
It has been so nice here today. We have been outside just about all day. Sitting on the deck. Ron grilled tonight for dinner so I did not have to cook just a couple of salads. They were boxed salads so there was no work to that.
I cannot believe that we are so close to Labor day week-end. We usually go to the labor day picnic. They have all kinds of craft booths and good things to eat. They always have these potatoes and they cover them in cheese. They are so good. Ron likes to get a funnel cake also so we just by fattening food that day. We do not get any type of sandwich or anything good for you.
Sept. 3 there will be a Quacker tsv. I can hardly wait to see what it is. I think that it is going to be a dj. I am not sure but I think that it will be. If it is it will be interesting to see what they do with them this time.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
I saw where Sue was over here now. We have to find out what is going on with Barbara. We really need her to be here with us also. She is such a big part of this group. We miss everyone that has not come over here. I wonder if Debbie is just not going to come over to the new site. She is really missed.
Brooklin would not tell us why she got sick. She does this every year though. She is still in the same school but in 8th grade. We cannot get her to tell us what is going on. She is something. She has been like this since she got into middle school. We will try to talk to her this week-end and see what is going on with her. She is a mess. She just has changed so much. Maybe she will do better when she gets to high school. She will try and take classes that her sister is not taking or took any time she was there.
It will be nice for Lachlan. He starts school with a friend already. It is nice that his aunt is in charge of the pre school. It will make it easier on both the boys. I forgot that the pre school always starts a week or two after the older kids. That is nice that they start out at just a half a day. A full day is hard on the little ones like that. Melissa has not said if she got Kaylee in pre school yet or not. I will have to check and see. I talked to her tonight but she did not mention it and I did not think to ask.
Well that is about all from here. I hope I can figure out how to accept friends on here. Please help if you can.

Hi Gail,
I have two friendship requests and I cannot figure out how to accept them. They came up once and i clicked on read but nothing came up. They was not place to accept them. I have your request and it went thru without a problem. Then I did the others in the regular group and they went thru. But now I cannot get them to go thru. I am about to scream and cussing under my breath. That is not good.lol
If you can help me out I would appreciate it.
Colleen
