Maizey- My your an early bird! Man that stinks about the freezer. I'll grab a spoon and help you out!
Fluffy- How are things going for you?
Pat-My dh said he saw it for $1.69 today. Is that not unreal how much of a change there is!!!!!! Congrats on the bunko win.
dobostorta- I think it's still cheaper here when you convert liters to gallons.
Pip- OWwwwww. Hope it's not toooo painful for you. Mine is just begun. I said I wanted to make most of my gifts. There is still time. But very little. It's harder to get done than I thought it would be.It puts me more in the spirit of things if I can make things. But it sure is hard to try to paint, with two boys pulling on your skirt! Those cookies do look good. I will have to make some of those. They look like they would be pretty for Christmas. Also, I to like practical things for Christmas. I asked for cookie sheets for like 3 years in a row back in the day when we were dirt poor. Family would give me things they thought would be the little extra's I wouldn't buy myself. Sweet sentiment. But man....I needed cookie sheets, baking pans etc. When I did get a little money up, I went out and bought myself some cookie sheets. The wait though made me really appreciate them. One day I went over to my MIL home and she had 1 cookie sheet. It was beat up to smitherings. I wasn't trying to be tacky, just made a remark that it's kind of seen it's better days. She stated yup, but I can't find another stainless steel cookie sheet. I remembered how I felt! You should have seen the joy on her face when I brought her some new stainless steel cookies sheets. You would have thought it was a mink coat I was giving her!
Greenback- I hope you have a great Thanksgiving too.
Dori- We have a new Kohl's by us. I haven't even gone yet. I guess I will have to check it out now that you and Pip have mentioned it. Laundry has a big mouth in my house, it never shuts up!
Cook and bottle- How many of your gifts did you make this year? Had a few set backs on the one I am working on, just have to try a different way. Still do able. Oh I guess my last post was a little confusing. My tire didn't go flat on our date, thank God because it was freezing cold last night. It happened during the day today. It's still parked over at the Salon. I thought about bringing the beautician a ball of red yarn and fuzzy white yarn! I thought she would get a kick out of it, and she was so very nice to us.
4boys- So glad the test are over for dh and glad he did well.
Ellie- Your baby is adorable. I love the 1 ear up and 1 ear down! Thanks for sharing about the cookies. At Christmas though I think I would really like the brighter color. I will try them with cake decorators icing coloring and see how it goes. But probably not until closer to christmas.
Jeanne if you end up visiting the garden tonight just wanted you to know I said Howdy! Wondering what kind of things you ebay for. I ebay too. I have found all sorts of craft items on there. I have a friend that purchased a bunch of old siler tea pot sets that we were making windchimes out of. I thought it was pretty neat. But I haven't had a lot of opportunities to get with her, because it has to be without my kiddos with her. I think our friendship is going by the way side because of it. But I kind of am a group package now. If I do have a free few hours, most important to me would be to spend it with my dh. Also dh and I had a chat about the toxics. We may just have to totally cut them out of our lives. I hate on one side to do that to people, but we really have to think about what's good for the boys. It's a hard thing to figure out which way to go with things. Much prayer needed.
Well, good night Roses,
Rebecca Lee
