Is a screen door a possibility? Or even a couple of baby gates? That would allow everyone to see each other and lil Findus can feel safe.
I hope your wife is wrong and that she doesn’t have a cold, she was just tired.
Thank you for sharing the link, I also like falling down rabbit holes like that 
I think you should make a cheesecake. You are worth the effort!
I’ve always failed at cheesecakes so we are going to have a vanilla bean custard pie instead.
I was looking at the table thingy about them last week and they do look good. Back when we were both working, half the time we would go out because we didn’t get Fridays off.
I want to like Indian food. It is very healthy and most folks find it to be very tasty. Up until this year, there were many Indian long haul truck drivers so there are Indian restaurants all along the interstates.
See, you folks just don’t see my real motivations because you are all much nicer than I am. I donated because we know that while we can cook our own t-day feast now, we will probably want one of those boxes sometime in the future. Its best to encourage them to keep it up and money is often good encouragement!
We will be going to a family potluck on Saturday. All of the women (me included) take pride in bringing home empty plates and take extra time cooking and decorating. Ensuring that nobody has to take time out from baking fabulous desserts to be sure the Ronald is fed gives me in-law points AND makes sure that I will have a good selection of well made desserts to sample.
My speeling is so bad that I could live there for my entire life and not be able to spell it correctly. I also had to look it up and it sounds fun!
These are very heavy, solid glass cats. They can survive being knocked over as long as they don’t hit the floor. I do have a secret weapon, though. I always have a tub of museum putty around which works great to keep things where I want them until I want to lift them to dust.
I have a bunch of fake flowers in a crystal vase on the entry table. I know that Jolene gets up there and messes with it, the flowers get bent and nibbled. The vase doesn’t budge.
Absolutely. I agree that her daughter would want to know what’s going on. Hospitals are noisy and many things beep, I wonder if Max’s person didn’t hear the text ding? Maybe call? Fingers crossed that all is well.
You guys are just falling for my disguise. Now when I push that bus full of nuns and orphans off a cliff, you will just think they did something to deserve it!
I do hope your chair is gone before the new one arrives.
If we weren’t smoking our bird, I would put stuffing in the cavity. We have temp probes and I’m not afraid to use three or four if needed. As long as the stuffing and bird are fully at temp, the food will be safe.
It warmed up today so Hubs went out for a motorcycle ride while I sorted threads. Many years ago, I met an older woman who was sad because her children didn’t do needlepoint and she wanted them to go to someone who would appreciate them. I opened my mouth and told her to write me into her will.
Sadly, she passed away a few months ago and someone called me and asked for my mailing address. He said he was her executor and didn’t know what she had so was just sending everything.
While I don’t like to complain about such a thoughtful gesture, her executor clearly didn’t care about her things and just tossed everything into a couple of boxes and shipped them off.
After it is all sorted, I’ll probably take a lot of it to our Thursday stitch and sip meetings or donate it to the Needlepoint Guild. Besides threads, there are also tools and stretcher bars mixed in. New stitchers always need more stretcher bars!
Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl.
