Goodmorning ladies....well we had a nice evening last nite, my DD and SIL came over with the baby, and I got more pics of that little peanut.....you know its so so cute that he loves when you take his diaper off and boy does he smile now...I tell you I was like melted butter when he looked at me with those beautiful big eyes and just cooed...

Well today I have to go and check the mail and have to go to Rite Aid to pick up a few things...but now I have to go and feed my chickens..

Have a very nice day everyone, I will be back in a bit...

Pam

Good Morning Everybody...a grey, but warm morning. We are supposed to get some severe thunderboomers later this afternoon. I suppose we have to accept Mother Nature every once in a while, don't we?

I was supposed to have lunch with Rett today but had to back out...I think the GERD has stepped in once again and I have to be careful to eat non-seasoned and non-fried foods. Doesn't leave much to the imagination for meals. I had unseasoned chicken broth with brown rice and plain toast for dinner last night. Have a doc's appointment next week to address the issue.

I, presetly, don't have a patient, but should be getting one the end of this week or next. All depends.

Have a great day and I will check back later to talk. 

Hello to all -- toss some of that chicken feed my way, would you!?!? ……what a night of weather we had here…..everything from tornado’s, cloud to ground lighting and flooding ~ there is NO way I can get out of the driveway to get Mother to her Doctor appointment….that and our main road is underwater, amazing, and you do know chickens do NOT do water…..wet chicken feathers? Ahem ~~nooooooo!

**just wanted to say good morning, waving to all**  

Well goodmorning TM and Miss Chickie.......good to see you both here and visiting...

TM that does not sound good, BTW what is GERD?? And I am sorry you had to cancell with Rett I know how you to rreally enjoy getting together.....hope your problem gets fixed soon, and that meal you had sounds terrible.....

Miss Chickie....heehee.....wow now I am glad that I dont live there, that sounds pretty darn scary if you ask me....and sure I will throw ya some chicken food...~~~~~~~~~HERE CATCH~~~~~  LOL You stay safe and DO NOT go out today and get wshed away with all that bad weather going on there......

Good morning, all. Yes, our lunch was postponed due to illness. But we have rescheduled for later this week!

It's supposed to be warm again today, but storms later as TM said. Ah, spring!

I am fixing the chicken salad again for dinner tonight. I have the second half of the sirloin I grilled last night, so maybe that will be lunch.I need to go to the grocery to be sure I have everything I need for my 2 catering jobs next week.

Hey, Miss Chicken, so glad you've been joining us. You're welcome any time you wish! We're not the most exciting group on the board, but we manage to have a good time. Sorry you're so waterlogged. Not fun.

TM, keep drinking that broth and eating that toast! I want you well later in the week!!! Seriously, take care of yourself.

So, BF, did you get your freezer stocked yesterday? I'm on the hunt for the best price on chicken breasts today. Don't want to have to charge my DSis next week!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!  

Good morning all..not much on my agenda today. The usual laundry and house work.  We are having some leftovers from last night for dinner tonight. Sounds exciting doesn't it..LOL

TM..I suffer from  GERD also. Had an endoscopy last year but it didn't resolve anything..he just wanted to see if my esophagus had suffered any damage over the years. I take a Prilosec every morning and am very careful to not to eat to much at one time.  Hope your tummy is better real soon so you and rett can get that lunch in. That meal you had doesn't sound to good..

LC..Wow that is some kind of weather you people have in OK. Do y'all have to tie yourselves down occasionally? LOL Tornadoes scare the bejeebers out of me.

Pam..I'll bet your were some happy grandma to see your little peanut...

Rett..how are you fixing those chicken breasts for your sister?  Did you get to enjoy the porch yet?

Have a good day..Bonnie

Hey Rett and Bonnie....

Rett I got a little bit in there, but have to wait until payday to finish filling it up...boy my pork roast last nite was awsome, DH and I kept saying 'OH MY ..OH MY" lol it was so so good.....

Bonnie you do know house work is a dirty job but someone has to do it...LOL

You know I use to have a small clientell and I cleaned houses, I worked 3 days a week, Monday-Wednesday-and Friday, but after awhile of doing that I started getting burned out, I could tell by the work I was doing inside of the homes, it wasent a good job anymore...so I just stopped and I have my own to do now and that is fine with me..

Okay can someone please tell me what Gerd is?

Bonnie, here's the recipe I'm using for DSis's bridge next week. It sounds very good!  I enjoyed the deck on the bench, but no furniture yet. They're predicting the possibility now of rain, tornados, AND  snow. What a fun weekend coming up!!!

Have fun with that laundry. I just have ONE load left to do before it starts all over again.

Good Morning All, boy you all are up and going this morning LOL I'm moving alittle slow because it's my day OFF the gas truck driver woke us up at 7:30 to tell us he was coming out today.And once the critters are up everyone is up. The weather is spring like and no rain so thats not bad, I have the laundry started and have fed DH so I'm not doing to badly.

I use to live in Texas and those stroms were no fun, I'll be thinking of you. You know we talked about slaw dogs the other day so I had to have one ( giggle) but DH doesn't like them so also did chili,onions& cheese for him. Well all of you take care,DH is getting ready to go pick up the milk and bread orders for the week. BBL Marion

Mornin ladies.  Snowing like the dickens here.  Kids had to go make tracks all over the yard, had to go dig out the snow stuff again.  Yesterday it smelled like spring, today you would think it was Jan!

NeeNee, how many nights can a human go without sleep and still function?  Last night was a complete write off, the night before, not much bettter, the night before that, not great.  I am soon going to call myself NeeNee of No Sleep!!  I have no clue how you do it, but then, you also don't chase a 3 and 5 year old around the house I hope!

Well, my kids think it is snack time, gotta please the kids!

 I am back from the grocery, and I found a few goodies for myself in addition to what I had to have.

2 lbs CA strawberries for $3.99    Normally $6.99

St. Louis style ribs for $8.83  Normally  $14.20

chicken breasts(10) for $9.91  Normally $21.02 

Love saving money on overpriced groceries!!! 

I'll take some of those ribs thanks!!  MMMM!  I'll pass on the  strawberries.  Doesn't matter how good they look in the store, they will never taste like the ones grown in my  mom's garden.  Nope, can't beat the homegrown ones.  Infact, we just had some frozen strawberries yesterday, even though they arent fresh, you put them on top of dessert of whatever, and man, can you taste summer all over again!

Would anyone want some snow?  I would gladly send you ours!

Char you can keep the snow it's all yours.LOL I will help you eat those ribs and I'll take your share of the berries, I know garden are better but right now anything that tastes like summer is welcome.I just changed my avatar to a summer pic of the store so now it has to warm up Right? ( giggle ) Marion

 LOL, Char, I don't remember offering to share! I shall enjoy each and every one of those strawberries grown in California. You have said before that you don't get good produce trucked in where you are, so I'm sorry you can't enjoy fresh fruits out of season like we can. 

Oh Rett, your not offering to share??  It could be that the strawberries that we get from California are hard as rock, becaus it takes a few days to finally get to my store, which means they have to be picked when they are mostly green.  Somteimes, they litterally have no taste whatesoever.  We do get good grapes and stuff that last longer, like mellons.  But it is hit and miss at best.  Sometimes it will look great, you get home, and it has no flavour!  Oh, at the prices we pay, that is frustrating!

Ribs on the BBQ tomorow at my house Rett??
