Suzi, I tend to concentrate strictly on what I start and seldom get sidetracked like that. But, on the occasions it does happen, I get so angry with myself, because I then find it hard to get back to the original plan.

EVENING EVERYONE  Just took my shower & washed my hair.  We had leftovers for supper tonight.  I made pumpkin pie squares today, so get your cool whip bowls ready.  They are very tasty.  DH even had a piece.

You sound like me. I plan a day of concentrated cleaning and get sidetracked and nothing productive happens. It doesn't happen often, but once is too often for me.

Hello ICook--Doesn't DH like pumpkin?

SUZI  DH likes pumpkin.  My girlfriend gave me the pumpkin I used today.  He doesn't eat much sweets because of being diabetic.  But he loves his bread, pasta & potatoes.  Can't keep him away from them.

ICookk---My DH is diabetic also, and is doing pretty well with the carbs, bread,potatoes and pasta but is having trouble with the sweets. That is why I try to use Splenda in all our baking and cooking.

I made it.  DD was here so we had a nice chat.  Haven't seen her for a while.  Well that is a lie, I've seen her at WM but I haven't been up there or her here for a while.

Evening Justme. Glad you got your laundry done today. Did you get it put away?  That is always the hard part for me.

Hi Wanda. I'm jumping up and down to watch each batter! LOL My knees are aching tonight for some reason and this is hard to keep doing! LOL

I don't see that putting things away is hard. I always fold all the clothes in my clothes basket, his in one stack and mine in another, plus the ironing on the bottom. Take it up and set it on my bed, take out my pile and put in drawers, over to DH's room and the same thing and then to the sewing room where my ironing board is set up. Put on the board to iron then or later and it's done! Takes all of 5 minutes.

Suzi, to tell the truth I had forgot about the laundry.  DD being here and we chatted away.  When she left, ooops, there is two baskets of laundry to dry.  So one load down and working on the second one.

Lily---Easy for you, but for me I have to plan it. DH carries it in from laundry, sits it by me. I fold everything, and sort (his-mine) then wait till he feels like carrying it back to the bedroom. Then I go back there and put it away.  Rather a tiresome production.

Suzi, DH usually carries it upstairs as it is quite heavy. Remember I only wash once a week and it includes bedding. But I leave it right by the upstairs door and he is good about taking it right up for me. Then I follow and put it away.

Wonder where everyone is tonight?

Justme---When does hunting season begin there?  DSIL who lives in Pa.---his DF has a set up like you do. They are wanting to scale down their housing so are trying to sell their house. But not the woods. It is posted and is private hunting only. He doesn't want to give that up as yet. Both of the sons go there and hunt and some of the DGC.

Suzi, the first day of rifle season begins the Monday after Thanksgiving.  I think that is the 30th this year.  How much land does his DF have?  They live up around Centre County right?  I love my hunting and will be really sad if we have to give up our hunting area.  Don't know what I'll do, I've been hunting since I was 12.  Small game is is now and also bow and arrow which DS has been hunting for deer.  He saw a BIG one this morning but it was too far away.  The chances of hunting.  LOL.

Wanda---His parents live outside of Williamsport PA. His dad is retired but did have a auto repair shop on his property.  I think I heard that his health is sort of bad.
