Hi Ladies,
I’m here, Adele. I just haven’t had much to talk about. I just got a notice that John Hurt has died. He died yesterday of cancer. That makes 3 in 3 days! Wow! MTM, Mike Conners,(Mannix) now John Hurt. Makes ya wonder who’ll be next. All those stars we watched for yrs are now leaving us.
Oh Colleen & Adele, I couldn’t help but get a laugh out of your stories about your hubbies & the phone & cable companies.
I too remember the saddle shoes, skirts, growing up. I’d still be wearing em if my mother had her way. (She’s been gone since 1986). lol

Say it ain’t so. they’re saying we could get another storm later this coming week. Low level snow but not down to the valley floor. Of course it has to be
on payday!! It’s been dry this week so I have no complaints for now.
QF is on next Friday with Antonella & Angel.
Anybody having Super bowl parties? I think Kay is considering having some kind of get together. We’re having Sunday dinner this Sunday. She got some pork chops & will cook em up with mushroom soup.

That’s all for tonight.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Ladies,
Hoooooooooray, we got the email notices back!! Yipppeeee. I got tired of having to take the loooong way to get here. Thank you James.
I’ve had the Q on off & on tonight with Rick & Antonella . they are a hoot on their own. Did you know they share the same b/day, Jan. 12th?
Put those 2 together & it’s hilarious.
Thanks for all the recipes. I’ll be sure to copy em down & give em a try. When I worked at Hewlett Packard back in the 80s, they had a cafeteria
& they sold these large oatmeal/ chocolate chip cookies. I’ve never been able to find em anywhere else.

Adele, I know what you mean about the pain in the cold weather. My sciatica, & arthritis was acting up during our recent snow & ice storms. Do you take anything for it? Aleve or Ibuprofen?
Well, it’s about time for my show.
Take care.

Hi Ladies,
Thank you for the recipe for the cookies, Sue. I was able to figure it out. Making columns on this is impossible. Thanks again.
I figured since all of you raised a family & still have family get togethers, you were pretty close to professional cooks, bakers. I hope I
didn’t offend anyone. It wasn’t meant to.
I can’t believe just last week we were in the 20s for high temps. Today we were 50 degrees. I actually had a window open for a while to
air it out in here. Is it SPRING yet??!! lol
I never heard of Carvel cakes before. We have Dairy Queen, too. We used to have Baskins & Robbins, but I’m not sure they’re around
anymore.

Adele, you said I share a birthday with your Rissy. who is that? a grand child? Happy belated b/day. Oh, congrats on the Pat’s win.

Ok ladies, I saw something that got me all fired up. I saw where somebody was taking pot shots at Barron Trump on social media. I have
only one thing to say LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE!!! Go after the adults, but leave the small children alone!!! I thought they were off limits
to begin with. After Princess Diana & all that fiasco I thought the press, etc., learned from that.

Let’s give the Pres. a chance. Like I said earlier, if God Himself was in the White House, there’d be people who would be unhappy!! Let’s
pray for God’s guidance, & protection, & HIS Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen. This country needs to get back to God.
Well, I’ll get off before I lose all of this.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is fine today. It’s a heatwave out here. We’re actually in the 40s!! Hooooray!! The only snow left is piles of it in the parking lots.
OK, I know some, if not all of you are professional bakers. I would like your best recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I tried once awhile back & they didn’t turn out so good. Try, try again. I googled it & there were a lot of recipes listed. I just thought I’d ask what yours is. Thanks.
Not much going on here. Yes I have been able to get out to the store since the weather’s better. The sciatica keeps me down more than the weather. w
My neighbor’s been sick, & I still have a cough so I stay away from them. Kay & I did go to the store a couple of times tho. It was good to get out in the fresh air for awhile.
I guess that’s all for now.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
Breaking News: We are officially out of the deeeeeeeep freeeeeeeeeeeze!!! We actually got above freezing. We actually made it up to 51 degrees!!!
We were in such a deep freeze we didn’t get above freezing for the better part of a week. It’s balmy today. Break out the tank tops. LOL
The snow is pretty much gone, except for the piles of it where they cleared out parking lots. The Gorge tho is still freezing. They haven’t got the warmer temps out there yet. They were afraid of a lot of flooding but so far it isn’t as bad as they expected. We did have a landslide but no one was hurt as far as I know. I think we’re out of the worst of the bad weather now. They’re forecasting 40s for all of next week with rain showers. That’s more like it!! What we just experienced was the coldest we’ve been in 40 yrs. It was warmer up at the ski resorts on Mt. Hood, than down here. Yes, I’m in Oregon. And yes it wasn’t our normal winter weather. The snow was beautiful, for a while. But after 3 o4 days of bitter cold temps that’s enough. The kids were having a ball in it tho. Everybody’s ready to get back to a more normal life now that the snow is gone.

Adele, I’m glad you’re feeling better. I think mine is breaking up finally! Before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I turned 67 on the 10th. (It was the day/night of my birthday the snow came in & dumped so much of it.) I hope you have better luck. What’s a Carvel cake?

Barbara, the whole West coast is expensive to live in. If I;m not mistaken, that’s close to silicon valley. It’s one of the most expensive places in the country, I believe. It’s probably up there with NYC.
Well, tomorrow we have a new Pres. Protesters plan to shut down the city here. I think they’re afraid their drug dealers will be deported or put away. Just my opinion. The media shouldn’t give them so much air time.
The way I see it if God Himself was in office they wouldn’t be happy. Get a job & get a life people ( I don’t mean you guys)!!
I better get off here before I lose this & I have to start over.
Have a great weekend if I don’t get back on here.

HI Ladies,
I’m gonna try this for the 5th (!) time. The rain has arrived & is later than they expected. I can finally see the blacktop of the streets & sidewalks for the first time in a week. It’s still cold but it is washing away the snow. It’s been warmer on Mt Hood than down here. It’s gonna take tonight into tomorrow to get the cold air out of here then we’ll be back to normal, I HOPE!!
I see spring has sprung on the Q today. they’re having their annual pre-season spring sale. I’m loving all the flowers. I wish I could get some, but where to put em. I miss my flowers. is good to see Phillip Watson again.
OK ladies, I have a question for ya. Is it toooo early to decorate for spring? I’m done with winter, but I imagine you guys are too. I’m tired of winter scenes with snow. Can’t imagine why.
Colleen, I got a chuckle out of your story about your hubby & his phone. Has he figured it out yet? If not take it to a local phone store & they should be able to help him or point him in the right direction. or when all else fails, read the directions. lol
I hope you’re feeling better Barbara. It’ll take time to adjust.
I hope he’s called you by now & said he made it safely.
Adele I hope you’re all over what ever bug you had. I still have this nagging cough.

Take care all.
