one big push

An emerald scepter to go with my ruby slippers! Oh, Toto, we are in Oz!

morning Ruby

Thought I'd take a break from the 'Twilight Zone' that is the puzzles. everybody's getting different pictures when they're solved.

Well done Rola, you did it (top of page that is). It's funny Rola I think of everything in metric except my height. I know how much I weigh in kilos & wouldn't have a clue how much that is in stone, but I am 5'6' 1/2. Weird!

morning Cyndi, .. I did the easy puzzle last night, haven't checked it this morning...

Hi, Rola. Hi, Jenni.

Gotta go. It's been nice chatting.

I can sort of work out the weights in kilo. helps when the weigh scale shows both ... just need to remember to wear the glasses when weighing my self. I'm sure it (the scales) tells lies !!!!!
much better with the lbs and oz, when cooking 16 oz = 1 lb. 14 lbs = 1 stone.
Height. definitely feet and inches... can not work out metric measurements...

bye Ruby. nice to see you........

I finished the first three puzzles, read the comments on tough and they were all talking about people and how much fun they were having, and the fireworks at the fair; and my picture was of a bridge. The first three puzzles were the same way. I think I'll try the 'parent's page' to see what happens there--be right back.

Hi & bye Ruby. Rola, my scales tell lies too, so I gave them the sack & try very hard not to use them.

Yep Cyndi, all the pictures are different.
It reminds me of when I first came to this site, April 06, the pictures would be different by the time I got to them in the morning, didn't correspond to the comments. I guess Gath hasn't fixed up that little boo boo from the changeover that happened on the weekend.

Jenni, I try not use the scales either. not if it tells me lies !!! , I am definitely not that heavy

There was a post on EASY from Gath, saying he haas the photos back in sync and something about had lost a month in the move.

ROLA, yes, got the lovely photo of you and the sons, there was just so much to comment on from your newsy e-mails, I forgot to tell you! Lovely group, espicly like the red headed stuborn one, love his hair!

Congrats on making top of the page, while I was away having our evening meal. Now I must clar the dishes, load the dishwasher and not gripe about it too much. I have not always had a dishwasher, once had to do them by hand.

WHEN WILL I LEARN TO CHECK FOR TYPOS and other inventive ways os spelling words?

especially

Clear

now I KNOW I typed 'clear' correctly, something stole my E.

MizT - hm dishwasher!!!! mine isn't working very well. complains of too much study, work, not enough time !!!!
Top of the Page was too tempting not to take advantage of... I'll send you a picture of my dishwasher Trica.

didn't seeing the missing e. MizT

BTW MizT. what was for dinner.... I will have to think about it eventually, sometime today, about dinner !!

Yep, I finished the puzzles all the way thru the Kids.
The scales in dcctirs' offices are never right.

Cyndi. I think all scales should be .

and Cyndi what was for dinner at your abode this eve..

Jenni ... what are you planning on having for dinner. Is Chef going to cook, maybe he could come here and cook for me a yummy meal

OK Rola - I'll send him over (might need a little help paying for the airfare though!) Nothing exciting tonight I don't think, I have a fridge full of vegies so will get some steak to go with. Last night I made a yummy beef, artichoke & olive casserole, which passed the test with hubby, thnk goodness!!!!

Here Jenni, have some $$ for the airfare. Will pick chef up from the airport in about 3 - 4 hours. We have a bed for him to snooze in before I send him back to you.

ROLA, We had planned overs, Turkey and Low fat whole grain stuffing, and I steamed veggies, opened whole berry Cranberry sauce, made Banana pudding (low cal, fat free) We eat a lot of turkey and about 2 weeks ago, I asked hubby what he wanted to go with turkey for dinner. He asked for stuffing, which is called dressing in our local.Turkey and Dressing or chicken and Dressing. I am talking southern down-home SAGE and CORNBREAD dressing, not that northern USA white bread and sausage or oyster stuff they poke up a birds rear! DRESSING is made in a pan, not inside a bird. It often has some of the less choice pieces of the bird meat chopped and added , and some southern cooks who need to feed unexpected guest actually cook a chicken and put ALL the meat into the dressing.

So 2 weeks ago, I had made dressing and cooked turkey breast, and we ate. then I froze portions of the dressing and turkey. Tonight, I took out my 'fast food' thawed it and we ate.

NOW, this explaines a bit why during the competition I was thinking about what's for dinner AT 4:30 am! there is often thawing involved!

Ok Rola he's on his way, I have hung a big sign around his neck saying CHEF. What would you like him to cook?

That sounds yummy MizTricia, can we come for dinner next time you make it?

Jenni, Chef can cook anything gourmet meal he likes to make. ... no Mushrooms thou, Mum is alergic to them, and my system doen't cope too well either. ( Mum comes on Tuesdays for dinner and stays the night.)

MizTricia, I'm coming with Jenni, sounds yummmmy...

That's great you get to catch up with your Mum like that Rola. Does she live far?
You will have a busy house with my hubby staying as well though won't you?

Jenni, I pick up Mum, now that her car is not working. She lives about 10/15 min drive from here. and she has a specialist/doctor appointment tomorrow, which I will be taking her - (she tries to make her appt. Wednesdays). She comes and does some ironing for me (I do most of the ironing and leave her some to do) , it's her favouite job. She will be 88 in August.

speaking of mums, Jenni how is yours, how is the recovery going, and the shoulder !!! How long does the Doctor think it will take before she has full use of the shoulder ?

We have a caravan, I can put a boy in, and Chef can snooze on one of the boys beds if the need arises!!!

Wow 87 & still ironing, that's great. My Mum is getting to the frustrated stage, trying to do things one handed. I might have to do HER ironing, although I think I'll let my father do as much as he can (it's good for him as he gets it too easy most of the time). She will be in the sling about 6 weeks I think.

Mum tires very easily, and she would like me to leave her much more ironing. I tell her off when she attempts to do more than she should. I can tell when she really has enough, and she wont stop !!!
I can see your Mum getting frustrated, she will be well and truly fed up by the time the sling comes off.

Well hello one and all. Rola I'm glad to see that the chair is back in place. Yes, only 2 more sleeps and counting...but I'm already celebrating. Getting gifts and well wishes, cake too...I'll soon need to get back to the gym to try and stay 'kinda thin'. Ruby, I claim 5'3, but am told that I must be shrinking 'cause every one else only sees 5'2...It really doesn't matter, I stand out in a crowd..I talk rather loud....shhhhhhh. Its getting near time for me to grab a few zzzz's, I'll give all a good night, and wishes for a good day! Peace

Hey Mama, if you stand next to me and Ruby, you would be taller. Don't stand too close to Jenni.. she towers over all of us three.
Nite Mama. Sweet Dreams.

You guys have been chatting up a storm! Mamacita, you'll probably be celebrating for a week! And you deserve it too! Good night Mamacita!
I try to avoid ironing at all costs. A little wrinkles never hurt anybody! Most of the clothes come out pretty good from the dryer.
