Hey!  Tall guys in here:   I need help putting up birthday decorations for tomorrow!  Could anyone give me a hand, please? 

Joe, you're very welcome, in regards to the chili.  Have you gotten your container for work tonight?

Ah - thank you all for the wishes. 

No celebrations - we are both too tired from the week and trying to just get into the driveway after all the snow yesterday.  Landlord was busy with other properties and didn't get to ours until after the Driver had done most of the property with our sno-blower. 

I help out by sweeping the porch and then going from the front door to the back door and back again watching to make sure he doesn't get hurt or fall. 

I'm done with winter now - it can go back to spring temps. 

Grampaw - I got the rockers ready but you have to push your own.  I am not re-tired yet, just tired.  Joe will help when he comes in. 

Joe/CW/Mutt/Sarah - got my cards!  Thank you!

Possibly no trains this weekend - 17 for the high on Sat and (shudder) more snow Sat nite.  Millie is the only thing that doesn't seem to mind the winter. 

Must rest.  I feel old age advancing!

Sorry Ed, but remember there is a time zone difference between us. We're EST, and

you all are CST.

 

Happy, Happy Mook; there's a Beagle on your plate with a candle on it, and a very

large cup of coffee. (this one didn't run away!)

(very surprised that the smoke detectors didn't wake every one else up when they

went off from the smoke from the candles; ours sure did when they lit the candles 

on my B-day cake!)

Good Friday morning to all!  And. . .

Hope you're not too tired, after everything yesterday, with the snow!  Glad you got your birthday card on time!!

Good morning Americans, it's Friday! 36 degrees in Carolina, up from 31.... I would like a LITTLE bit of snow, maybe enough to cover the grass. That is a rare commodity in this part of the world. Likely, it would shut down the whole state, though! Mook, I can't push that rocker for a while. My shoulder has been paining me a right smart and I have an appt with a surgeon come Tuesday to be checked out. My shoulder has a rod and 13 screws and I am afraid something has shifted or backed out. CW, can you round up some buttermilk pancakes? Thanks

Tom

Well, lunch is on the warmer bar:  for the Mookster's birthday, I've made meat loaf w/smashed taters & gravy, green peas, creamed corn, and cornbread.  For dessert:  chocolate birthday cake and ice cream. 

We'll have our FRIDAY FISH FRY for supper tonight, along with the leftovers from lunch.

MOOKIE:  Hope your birthday, so far, is going well!!Happy B-Day [bday] Happy B-Day [bday] Happy B-Day [bday]

perfect CW - just perfect. 

Driver sent me an e-mail that reads:  "Big to do later".  I asked him what he had in mind - with a smile on my face.  Answer:  "Candle lit dinner in the living room, a fine dining experience from la fridge and a glass of 07 skim de milk.  What more could a girl ask?" 

Wish he would have included no more snow so I am not house-bound this weekend!

I've just finished refreshing the warmer bar, with the meat loaf, smashed taters, etc., and have added our FRIDAY FISH FRY of cod, perch, salmon, halibut and haddock, along with fries, corn on the cob, pork n beans, and hushpuppies.  

And there's plenty of chocolate birthday cake left for dessert (probably all weekend, since I made a whole sheet cake.)

Good Saturday morning to all!  Hope everyone had a good night! 

Coffee, hot chocolate and hot water for tea are ready.  Also, fresh oj/oj/tangerine and pineapple juice are all ready, and chilling in the fridge.

Saturday brunch menu:  turkey bacon, sausage, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, cream of wheat, grits, country fried ham w/redeye gravy, hash browns, home fries, are now on the warmer bar.  In the cooler:  pineapple chunks and cantaloupe chunks.   And on the counter, we have all kinds of doughnuts, danish, and muffins.  

Hope everyone has a great day, doing whatever you need to do today, whether it's Christmas shopping, putting up Christmas decorations, going shopping, or working around the house, whatever is on your agenda today.  See you all later!
