The special tonight is:  beef stew and cornbread.  It's on the warmer bar, and Joe, there's a couple or four containers in the fridge, with your name on them.  Dessert:  strawberry cheesecake.  

 

And Joe, tell Matt "Thank you" from Aunt Paula, for his help with the birthday decorations, and making the biiiiiiigg chocolate birthday sheetcake for tomorrow.  

 

Anybody want to help put up the Christmas tree and Christmas decorations later on this evening, say around 8:30, ET?!?!  I'll be here, so I hope I have plenty of helpers.  Cookies and hot chocolate will be served afterwards, to any and all helpers!!

BEEF STEW!!!  I'll take a couple of gallons.  I can't get enough.  Maybe this weekend I'll have to make some wild game for dinner.

I'm pretty good at keeping and or leveling a tree.

Breakfast is going to be a little bit late today:  I'm waiting to hear from our BIRTHDAY GIRL to give me her request for breakfast today.  (As everyone knows, whoever has a birthday in here, I let them pick the menus for their birthday day).

 

But the coffee is ready, fresh juice is made and in the cooler, and we've got hot chocolate and hot tea available this morning.

HEY MOOKIE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]Happy B-Day [bday]

Today is my Mom's birthday too, although I am not able to wish her a happy birthday at this moment.......she celebrated her first Christmas in God's Heavenly Kingdom in December of 2001.

It's COLD here in Sioux Falls this morning, we have a temp of 1 below 0, but with the wind blowing out of the northwest, it feels like a minus 15. I am getting ready for another day of bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and the weather conditions yesterday were absolutely misserable. I've had a few people tell me that I am quite brave to stand out in the cold doing this......and well, perhaps they are right. I continue to do this because I feel that the Salvation Army needs me and I like to think that I am helping to make a difference in the lives of a lot of people who's lives are in one kind of turmoil or another.

Well, I hope everyone out there has a good day! And stay warm!!

Has anyone seen the Mooks today?

I'd poke my head up out of this, but fear of a chocolate covered cat's paw has over-ruled.

Hmmm, I don't see even a crumb of chocolate here- I guess I'll have some of that carrot cake.  A bug in your ear, CW- another favorite flavor of mine is spice cake.  Between that and chocolate cake or chocolate chip/chunk cookies, I could easily go over the edge into full diabetes...

Good Friday morning, everyone!  It sure does look great in here, with the HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner up, and the Christmas decorations.  Guys, you did a super fantastic job!!  The Happy Birthday banner will be staying up, because I know of at least two more birthdays of forum friends this month.  

 

The coffee is on and ready to pour, the juice is freshly made, and hot chocolate, and hot tea are ready for consumption!!

 

Breakfast this morning:  country fried ham and red-eye gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, sausage, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs and fried taters are ready and waiting on the warmer bar.  

 

I hope the celebrations yesterday wasn't too much for our beloved Mookie:  hope we see her back in here today, and hope she is feeling much better today health-wise.

Yow.  Well, went to the vet yesterday.  Driver said I was going and I went!

He checked me all over.  Found part of a half eaten birthday candle.  Cake crumbs all over and then looked in my ears!  Said he could read the paper on the other side. 

Finally said I have broccolitis.  No pomonia, just broccolitis.  So he gave me a subscripshun for some anti pills and said to quit working so hard!  I like that doctor and left him lots of purr and fur. 

Also got a card I need to remember to use in the future!  Shows a cat opening the door to an old saloon which is occupied by a whole lot of other cats.  He shouts:  "I can lick any one in this bar, including myself!"

I cracked up and then coughed again! 

It was a great birthday and I really do think it helped me to feel better today!  I need to go find a glass of water to stick my head in to take my new pill and then flop on the floor in front of the fireplace for some much needed rest.

I'll say - I can almost show you the temperature here using one hand (actually I could in sign language, but that's another story).

According to our local airport, at 3:00 am I could have used one hand....

Think I'll warm up the bearclaw on the grill this morning, too...
