Hi Adele,
We are having a good weather weekend-so that will be nice.
How has Gary been doing? Good I hope.
The goulash was a recipe I got from Greg’s family as he likes it so much. I’m kind of neutral about it but I make it a lot because he likes it.
How is the prep for the strawberry cake going? I’m going to have to bake the strawberry cake that I make sometime again. It was quite tasty.
I’m glad that Tillie is getting some sparkle for her birthday. That’s so cool that you and your Mom both like Quacker. Does Heather like Quacker at all? I know Jenny would never wear it-she is a much more classic dresser-like her aunt. So I’m hoping one of the grandaughters-or both-will like sparkle. Maybe it skips a generation.
That’s nice that you have a crafter in your family. I was telling Jenny how impressed I was with her lady that does the crafting parties. This is an independent business that she created on her own-but i think she could actually make a big thing of it and franchise it. She should go on Shark Tank. She must be doing well with it as she had to hire two employees to keep up with her bookings.
Hope your weather will get better.
GailHi Adele,
I thought American chop suey was going to be a Chinese dish too. Especially since the carry out restaurants in Chicago do have something called that. It’s just chop suey without all the Chinese vegetables.
My neighbor told me years ago about the baby powder connection-it has to be 35 years ago. Her aunt had ovarian cancer and she said the doctor told them back then not to use baby powder over years and years as a little bit of that talc could get up there and possibly cause ovarian cancer. I always remembered that and even found it kind of hard to believe at the time but apparently the medical community knew something way back then but the talcum powder companies were just not telling anyone.
How nice of your friend to come over and visit Tillie for her birthday. You are the best hostess always baking things for people. This will be a big weekend for Tillie. I hope she doesn’t get too tired from all the activity. Is she getting some new Quacker for a present? I hope so. Nothing makes your day like some new Quacker.
It sounds like Steph is kind of the crafty one making the things for the party. I think the young people get all sorts of good ideas of things to make from Pinterest and all the ideas on Youtube. I just never think of looking at those things like the young people do. They do show a lot of good ideas though.
It looks like the northeast is still getting rain. At least we have sun today.
GailHi Dianne,
You probably missed when we changed monthly discussions and you stopped getting alerts. I usually start a new discussion every month so look for us on a new page if you haven’t seen any postings for awhile. None of us live a very exciting life. We just chat about our daily lives or menus or TV shows or whatever pops into our heads.
The pictures of the mountains are very impressive. That’s something we surely don’t have around here.
We have the same whiplash weather-cold-hot cold-hot. Pretty soon it will just change straight from winter to summer.
GailHi Colleen,
Do you have any plans for Mother’s Day. I think we are just going to brunch again at the same place where we went for Easter. Greg’s birthday is Monday so we will kill two birds with one celebration.
It’s still pretty cool here. Greg usually plants around his birthday because the last frost is usually around there. However, the guy is still working on repairing his rototiller and I’m not sure when that will be done. I swear he’s had it for two months. It’s supposed to be 80 on Friday but then go back down again. This has been a weird spring
Have fun baby sitting Aliza again tomorrow. How long does it take you to drive to Danyielle’s? It takes about 15 minutes to get to Jenny’s.
GailHi Adele,
I believe the link between cancer and baby powder is only been proven for ovarian cancer so I don’t think that anything that you did has to do with her current situation. Years ago nobody knew about the hazards of talc and i think the cancers are linked to woman who used it all during their lives for feminine hygiene rather than just for the short time while they were babies. So please do not feel guilty.
My gut feeling is that Kendall is not being bullied. I think we would know. She is very sensitive so i wonder if it’s linked to her giving a wrong answer or something like that and then feeling embarrassed. Or maybe she just gets homesick-I know that can be a problem for certain kids.
I am like Colleen-that’s the first time that I have seen a recipe for chop suey using hamburger and pasta. Thanks for giving it to us. It sounds good. It sounds similar to what Greg calls goulash which has hamberger, onion, green pepper, shell pasta and tomato soup.
It’s nice that you will have a weekend celebration for Tillie’s birthday and that she will get to see everyone.
I wonder how many weeks are left on DWTS? Three maybe? I’m beginning to really like Paige the UFC fighter. I would like to see Mark win again-I also like Lindsey and Wanya. Most of all I like the sparkles and sequins. lol and Bruno.
GailI couldn’t get the document to download just the link to the rules.
Let’s try again.
Lets see if i can get these contest rules downloaded. This is an experiment I’m not sure what will happen.
Hi Colleen,
You don’t have to scroll all the way down if you go to discussions and General Quacker Chatter and click on the time of the last one of us that posted. Or you can use the link at the bottom of the post that you get in your regular e-mail.
I just drove by a house the other day that had tulips in all colors blooming in front of it. I wanted to stop and take a picture. It was so pretty! i always said that if I was rich I would have fresh flowers all over my house everyday. And have someone come in and change the sheets daily and launder them.
You have two babysitting jobs this week. How nice that Aliza is sleeping through the night already. Jenny slept through the night really early and the pediatrician told me it was too soon and I had to wake her up and feed her. I told him that if he wanted that he needed to come over and do it himself. lol It was nice to have a baby who slept good after Brent who seemed to never sleep. I was tired! That teething can be miserable for the babies. At least she’s in a good mood and wants to play when she first wakes up.
Kendall was home from school again yesterday as she was crying at school because her stomach and throat hurt but she seemed perfectly fine when I got there. I think those bad stomach aches are real but i also think that sometimes she fakes it-and i wonder what happens on those days at school to make her not want to be there. It’s weird because she does well in school and she has lots of friends-so maybe sometimes she just gets really homesick or something. We have no test results back yet.
Yesterday when I went there Kendall and Piper put on a fashion show for me while the karaoke machine played music. Then it was like being in an internet cafe. Kendall was on the computer with headphones, Lachlan was on his tablet with headphones, and Piper and I played Dr. panda on her tablet. All we needed was to be sipping mocha lattes. lol
My DVR shows that Chic’s night in is being recorded Wednesday night. I see it’s with Alberti so it should be a live show. I like Alberti. He’s a good host.
It has been cold here. We still have heat running but today it’s sunny and 70. Hooray!
