COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #87

[menageriekeeper]

Yep, that's the one Son wants. He loves makin' 'em, I love eatin' 'em! Thanks for putting them up for me.

Well I have Son's room clean and ready for the carpet cleaner, now I get to go clean Precious'. I'm getting the idea that the carpets will have to be cleaned tomorrow. I know some kids that owe me big time! I may have to lie awake tonight thinking up a suitable consequence for the condition their rooms are in. I'm thinking about going back to having a 6 o'clock room check, like I did when they were little. Grrrr!

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

You're welcome, MK.

Brent and I are going to take our showers and go to bed. We will be up at 4:00 in the morning to take Shawna to Bloomington for out-patient surgery and probably be gone until lunch or after.

I doubt that I will be online until we get back.

Pleasant dreams all!

Yep, Thankful, I am moving...*sigh*. We hadn't planned on it either, but hubby's new job requires it. We are just thankful to be on a permanent job now and not a contract, and to be a little more "settled" than we had been for almost a year and a half. Time to sell the house and move on, but it is a slow process, due to some physical problems of mine and work to be done on the house. Things are getting done slowly but surely...

Good Morning Everyone!

Sue, praying for you and yours this morning. Let us know how it goes.

I brought the cookies this time. Son made peanut butter cookies last night. He's going to be able to cook better than the girls, if they don't watch out!

Today is carpet cleaning day upstairs. I've got to get it done before they mess those rooms up to bad. If I can get the stupid lawn mower to start I need to mow the grass one last time too. Today is one day when I could use two of me!

Ya'll all have a good day.

 

[Thankful]

Good Morning, everyone!

Just dropping by for coffee and a cookie. I have some errands to run and then meetings at church. Don't know how long they will last.

Have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon all:

We are back, safe and sound. We got back before lunch. Shawna has been dozing on the couch with a bad bout of nausea from the anesthesia.

Brent and I made one batch of Peanut Butter Balls (I will make another batch tomorrow) and I made four 'batches' of rice crispy treats (2 red and 2 green).

I have chicken ready to go in the oven for supper and I need a nap!!!

 

[Debby in Philly]

Greetings from Lancaster PA!
I am my daughter's official "driver" at a Christian School Teachers' convention. I get to go to some workshops and rekax in the whirlpool at the hotel. Not a bad job.
Brought the work laptop to check in to the office and keep up with the BB!

 

[Gayla]

Hi Debby!
You mostly took the laptop for the BB didn't ya??!!?!?!?

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Good morning all:

It is a cold 34º this morning with an expected high of only 51º. I think winter is a comin'!

I'm making another batch of Peanut Butter Balls today as well as a double batch of Molasses Sugar cookies.

The drain-pipe under my sink came loose last night and flooded my kitchen and everything in boxes stored under there was ruined. THAT mess took a while to clean up! It also dripped through the floor to the basement, but didn't cause any damage (except maybe to the floor). Anyway, hubby fixed it so we are now high and dry again.

The effects of Shawna's anesthesia finally wore off yesterday and she was able to eat supper with us before she went home. She is coming back over today while I'm making cookies. She likes to 'snitch' a few before I get them put up in tins...

HAGD all and don't forget to keep Tony lifted up in prayer.

It is right on the freezing mark this morning and even tried to snow a little. There is also a strong cold wind blowing and I am working outdoors.

Last night we had a bad lightning storm and lost hydro for 5 hours. We are ok because we have a portable generator....Why do these storms always hit at night? I tried using wife's laptop computer, but I am quite hopeless with it.

Cheers,

Jim

Good Morning Everyone!

My day isn't going as well as I had planned. I have a bunch to get done today but, some of it is taking too long. I didn't say it could be noon yet either!!!!

Anyway ya'll have a good one, I've got to get back to work!

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

I have my baking done for the day and Hamburger Pie made for supper. I've done dishes three times already! My back feels like it is breaking, however!

I'm taking a short break before hubby gets home from work at 4:00.

 

[Gwen M. Trivett]

Hi Sue--For some reason I can't log on to the BB anymore under my name "Gwen." I tried everything! So, I re-registered under "Wendi" and I'm back on. Can't figure it out, but I'll blame it on my son who was home from college last week, and was tinkering around with my computer. Anyway, have a good evening, everyone!

 

[menageriekeeper]

Well I ended up getting quite a bit done after all and now I'm taking a break too. Still didn't get everything done, but I decided I had unrealistic expectations. So I'm going with the flow and leaving some of it for tomorrow. There were two things I thought today's cleaning would uncover today that I still haven't found. Can't figure out what I've done with either one. Probably means it wasn't me who lost it.

I wish I had supper together. I think we'll end up with mac and cheese. I'm to tired to cook much.

We all have off tomorrow to celebrate Veteran's Day. How about ya'll? It'll be nice to get some extra sleep. Here lately we've had to get up early even on the weekends.

 

[Gayla]

Good evening!

sue, molasses sugar cookies sounds good!!

MK, even if I couldn't find something, I don't think I could eliminate myself from bing the one that lost it.


i got good news at the oncologist office today! My tumor marker, which was 36 when the cancer 'relapse' was found, went up to 50 after the radiation treatments. Now it's 17!! Praise the Lord! Will be tested again Dec 8. the again Jan 3 to make sure things are staying where they are supposed to.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Wendi: Check your PM's.

MK: Hubby has tomorrow off and he will sleep late. I get up early every day - no matter what.

Gayla: I will post the recipe on the Holiday Recipe thread. They are very easy to make and delicious! Congrats on your lower number!!! PTL!

 

[Thankful]

Good evening, everyone. I just realized that I had not stopped by all day.

Gayla, that is great news.

Tomorrow is a holiday and my husband gets to stay home. Now where is that list I made of things that he needs to do? It seems to have disappeared. I wonder why!

I can remember some. Christmas stuff needs to come down out of the attic and Muffin refuses to do it.

It is going to be too windy to do anything outside, but I think we have things winterized except for two faucets.

Well, Good night, all.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Good morning all:

Wow! I slept in until 6:30! I woke up at 4:30 as usual and forced myself to go back to sleep!

We will be going to the Veteran's Day Memorial Service on the court house lawn this morning, then to the American Legion for free ham, beans, and cornbread.

I started doing this with my dad, every year, when I was about 5 and haven't missed too many since then...

It is freezing this morning (literally). It's 32ºF.

[preacher]

I guess Veterans Day is a good day to make my first visit.
Is it O.K. for my squirrel to come in with me.BH is house broken.
If it's not too much trouble I'd take a Dr. Pepper, & a thimble full of french vanilla cappicino for BH! Yes she goes most everywhere with me...as long as there ain't no Game Wardens around!
Have a Blessed Day!
