Common Ground Coffee House #111

Good Morning Everybody,

Tanya: Glad to hear your appt. went well. One question though, how on earth did you my Cuz to sit still for that length of time? Did they have restraints on the chairs in the waiting room?

Brenda and I are seriously looking at a new house that is about 10 miles east of where we now live. It's a farmhouse, built in 1900, completely remodeled with modern appliances in the kitchen[they come with the house, too], 4 bedrooms with the capability of 5, fireplace in the living room, central air, 1 acre of land, detached 2 1/2 car garage, fenced backyard, and three out buildings.

Helen: I think my "cook's block" is starting to crumble. Came up with some ideas for Thanksgiving dinner last night.

Hey Cuz, Just want you to know that reading your posts is exhasting. I don't know how you do all you do and do it well.

Has anybody heard from Ann? Watching the weather that is off the coast of Long Island is scary. Praying for you Sis. raying:

I brought in Pancakes, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, and Home Fries. Enjoy.

Time to get some yard work done. Our weather forecast for Monday is a rain/snow mix, and for Tuesday it's a possibility of snow flurries.

 

Saturday Mornings

Hi y'all - stretching and yawning, trying to get these old bones moving but, it's cold. Just 21 degrees, car covered in ice, clear blue skies and the sun has just made it over the hills to the east. We'll get up to high 60's today around 2:30 to 3:00pm and temperatures will drop into the mid 40's again by 7:00pm. But, that's life here on the 'high desert' in northwestern Nevada.

Got the decaf brewing 'cuz that's all DW drinks. Now to figure out which chores I can tackle and complete without having to be out in the cold too early. It'll be noon before we can do much outside. Probably adding the Sta-Bil to the mower, generator and weed cutter is a good idea since they're going to sit now for the winter and that keeps the gas from forming 'gel' and plugging up the carbuerator.

Maybe I'll turn on the ham radio and tune around and see if someone's out there wanting to chat....

 

Good morning, all!

Wondering when you would start a new thread, Sue! How are you doing?

Ann, did you read the suggestion about Absorbine jr for Whirl's leg? As a 'knee' survivor please know that I totally understand Bob's frustration and will be keeping him in my prayers.

FoG -- ok, so spill. What are you thinking about for Thanksgiving dinner?

Choctawman -- I lived in high desert in Lancaster, California for a few years in my early twenties. You couldn't PAY me to go back! I LIKE living where it's green! But I certainly wish you the best...!

Foggy to cloudy today and chilly. Barry's interview stuff was postponed until Monday, and that's fine. Today is my day to change beds and do all kinds of basic cleaning for the coming week. So I'm off and away...

God bless you all.

 

Good Mor---oops!-Afternoon Everyone!

Supperwoman is here! Speaking of which.....

Helen! Why would you even attempt making homemade pie crust when Pillsbury makes perfect ones that you can find in the refridgerated goods section of your local grocery? You just unroll them into your pie pan and BAM! Perfect piecrust!

I still have no idea who's going to show for T-day. Until I can figure that out I can't really plan for it. We'll follow our usual menu though I'm sure. Turkey, chicken and dressing, garlic mashed potatos, mac and cheese, broccoli, green beans, corn on the cob, sliced tomato, and nice things to with like gravy, cranberry sauce and fresh homemade bread. Dessert gets split among us all. T will make cheesecake, Chris will make pumpkin pie, Cass and Jenna will make cookies and I usually bake a cake of some sort. I just need to figure out how much to cook.

Helen, we haven't gotten a puppy yet. Notice the yet. One will come along and I have open ended permission from T to get one that strikes my fancy. I want a nice german shepard or german shepard mix.

Cuz, you got it wrong. It wasn't Tanya trying to keep me still, it was me trying to keep Tanya still. Though I felt her frustration when the doc said at 2 that he was giving her something for her head ache and then she could go home in "a little while" and then didn't come back around until almost 4, just after she told them she was leaving in 10 minutes.

The house sounds good, Cuz. But if it has an upstairs, be sure to walk UP them several times. The thing I regret most about this house is the upstairs. The stairs are hard wood. Really, really hardwood. Hurts my knees to go up there.

I have a gigantic headache this morning, so I'm off to finish chores and go to the skatepark for a while with the kids. I'll rest there.

See ya later!

 

see...even my doctor doesn't want to push his luck:laugh:

really, it was cindi trying to keep me still...and i was strapped down!! and yes, i made the fact that i was not happy about it well known. i hope cindi isn't wanting grandchildren from chirs...after yesterday he may take a vow of never having a pregnant wife.

you might what to say another prayer for cindi (having to watch me be grumpy) and my doctor...i have to go back on monday. poor guy...he is really earning his paycheck on me.

 

Good Morning Everybody,

No church fo us this morning, Brenda has Bronchitis and on breathing treatments.

Helen: How's this sound for Thanksgiving?: Glazed Ham, Mustard-Garlic & Herb Roasted Turkey Breast, Thyme-Scented Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions, Mashed Potatoes and Giblet Gravy, Cheddar Biscuits, Green Beans with Maple-Bacon Dressing, Cornbread, Bacon and Sage Dressing, Stuffed Squash with Black Beans, Chocolate-Cherry Bread Pudding, Peach-Cranberry Cobbler with Cornbread Biscuits.

Cuz: We made an offer on the house yesterday, now we're praying that the owners accept our offer. raying: The steps to the second floor are hardwood also, I was up and down them several times yesterday and I think we'll be okay. One nice thing about this house is that all the kitchen appliances are new and come with the house.

Ann: Glad you're safe and sound. Watching the weather reports yesterday about the storm going up the east coast and they showed Long Island,and it ws getting hammered.

The bottom is supposed to fall out of our weather starting tonight. Possible Rain-Snow mix tomorrow, and possible snow showers for Tuesday.

Have to go figure out what we're having for dinner today.

 

raying: Praying that you feel better Sue raying:

Four more for dinner is no stretch for us. Come one come all. It's still early in the planning stages so any requests you want to make, make 'em now. :wavey:

 

welcome to monday!:wavey:

i'm trying hard to "come alive" i have doctor appointments to make, doctor appointments to change and some that just need to be canceled out right. after that i get the joy of talking to the ladies at our health insurance office. the forms they sent me to fill out are as clear as mud.

other than the phone stuff, today looks like it should be a wonderful fall day. the highs are suppose to be in he 70's.

bagels & muffins are on the counter, coffee is made and fresh fruit is in the fridge....

hope you all have a fun day!

 

Hello!:wavey:

Another quiet day in the Coffee House.


We're gonna have a chilly week. The forecast is for low 40s upper 30s Wednesday morning. (That's cold for South Georgia!)

My Tumor-Marker went up (the wrong way:BangHead: ), but since the DR is on vacation, I've been advised by the nurses to go ahead with this week's treatment. Wednesday morning is de day. blechhh!



How did the Dr appointments go today?

 

(((hugs))) i'm sorry to hear the marker went up...we will be praying that this week's treatment does it's job and doesn't wipe you outraying:

today's appointment went about the same as most of the other ones have. i went in, my b/p was good, the dr sent me to L&D to have them put me on the monitor me, baby Leah looked good, they did blood work...enzyme levels still up...but holding and since i am not "sick as a dog" like i should be and the baby isn't in any danger at this point...i got to come home! yay!!! i'll have to go back in on thursday. some how i managed to lose 5 or so pounds from last thrusday till monday...not sure how that happened....

sue how did your dr visit go??

 

Good evening all,
All you sick people are in my prayers and I hope that you all get better really soon!
The cold front we where expecting has hit and wouldn't you know it-youngest nephew had his last little league football game tonight. I sat in the truck and kept the baby! I knew that there was a good reason I left my jacket at home this morning! We have a forecast high of 64 for tommorrow. Oh well, it must get cold sometime... I guess now is okay! I had better go, the nephew and two girls are here for the week unless things change because their dad is in the hospital with a really bad staff infection. He isn't responding to any of the antibiotics. Anyway, the older two need showers and put to bed.
Y'all have a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!
