Marti, I really do hope Joe is feeling well enough, soon, so that you can take your ride to the mtns for lunch. How nice it would be for both of you to get out of the house to somewhere that isn't a doctor apmt. Will keep that intention, especially in my prayers. Sorry about your broken tooth. Oh, darn, if it isn't one thing it's another! Dental insurance is such a great idea. We looked into it and it isn't very easy to even find and when you do, it's so expensive. The one I found had a clause that it wouldn't cover anything major for two years. That doesn't seem fair, does it.
Maureen, what your DH does is exactly what I am hoping Frank will buy those two bins for his riding tractor, and do, this year. He's out there right now, raking them onto a large tarp, that he pulls to the woods or the garden. He's been out there doing it since we finished our early dinner and will only come in when it's dark outside. Just too much work and takes way too long when there are so many ther things to do. Now he says, he might look at one, if I go with him tomorrow. Grrrrr. I guess I'll go after my doctor apmt tomorrow morning.
Barb, thanks for the Caramel Corn Recipe. The next time I have the trips, whenever that will be, I'll make it. I'm sure they'll love it.It sounds like Landen sure knows how to cuddle. LOL I'm sure your DH was really loving all of the snuggle time.
Vammie, I'm sorry the interviws aren't going more quickly for you. It has to be so difficult finding just the right person. I hope you have luck getting your shoulder back in shape and wit a minimum of any kind of surgery or treatment. I'll be keeping that intention in my prayers, when I pray for you. Just what you don't need right now, is to be away from home in a nursing home or rehab right before the holidays. I hope you will hear good news and it isn't the rotator cuff.
Got my hair cut and some highlights, for the first time. When your hair is as dark as mine is it's difficiult to get highlights that don't stand out and look like stripes. LOL Rita, my hairdresser, did a good job, though. It all kind of blends in making my hair look lighter in genera. I'll have to see if DH likes it in a few days. Today, he said he loves it, which is his normal response when I come home. LOL He'll let me know in little ways if he wants my hair back to it's natural dark color. Rita said she can always cover the highlights and you won't even be able to tell I had them if I want it back to natural. Well, see. I have to get used to it myself. She did cut at least two inches off of it and it feels so short now. I won't know if I can handle it this length till I shampoo and blow dry. I also have to see how it works when I want to put it up. Sometimes shorter is more difficult, I hope this will work, though, because I'm tired of the length.
I baked salmon tonight and it came so good. I camelized some sliced onions in a saute pan and then did some thin strips of red and yellow peppers too, then mixed them with the onions. When the salmon was almost done, I topped it with the onions and peppers and they went back into the oven for just 5 minutes. It was really delicious. DH won't eat salmon if I do it just plain, so I make it this way just to get him to eat it. A little more work, but worth it in the end. I also made some oven roasted squash, acorn and yellow, with it. It turned out to be a good combination.
I haven't been in the mood for much TV lately, but am looking forward to seeing DWTS tonight. Hope it's a good show. I saw part of the movie, "Chicago", a few weeks ago and saw that one of the celebs, Mya, on DWTS was in it. She had a dancing part in the jailhouse number with Catherine Zeta Jones. She did very well, but I thought that would qualify her as a professional dancer. No wonder she's so good. It doesn't seem quite fair to the other contestants, though, does it?
Well, time to give Mom a last call for the evening. Till tomorrow.... Jo Ann
