Hi Suzy..took me ages to write so missed saying hello.Sorry you aren't any better.
Hope you can go back to bed or have you still got a few days to go?

Hi Nola, two days to go - counting today. I have to take a year 9 class today. I don't know the kids and the teacher has me doing 7 experiments almost simultaneously.... Might be okay if I had a brain!

I got a frustrating call. There was a mix-up. I don't have details yet. I have to reorder the door to my tractor that I ordered 2 weeks ago!

We're also having MORE thunder boomers!!!

Suzy..you must have a brain to do teaching.Bit tough having 7 experiments,dose up on the cold and flu capsules.I bet you will be soooo glad to finish!
What a b###er Heidi.Suppose the heat would be better to stand than the cold in the tractor without a door.

Looks like it is going to rain here too,and I have just done a load of towels and my uniforms.

Happy birthday MizT!!! Have a great day!!! Lots of love & fun is what I wish for you today!! Enjoy!

Hi Suzanne..did you or are you having a hot day in Utah today?

Hi Nola, not hot here yet, thank goodness! Rainy, and in the 60's!
How is everything in your neck of the woods?

I took out boneless pork chops tonight, not sure how I am going to cook them, any ideas anybody??

Hi, Everyone.
I called my mom's parents Grandma and Grandpa. My dad's mom was Grandma Rose. My In-laws were named by their first grandchild so they are called Gram and Papa. I started calling my parents grandma and grandpa but Mitchell had other ideas. My parents are Bobbi Gram and Papa Bernie. Those are Mitchell's names and they stuck. My brother does not have kids.

MizTricia.
Hope your day is extra-special.

Suzanne,I have just bought a crock pot.If you have one, maybe a pork and veg casserole or marinade them?
So,it is still cool where you are.
Our winter has begun which I am not fond of.I live in the sub tropics because I prefer the warmer weather.It NEVER snows here,but to me is is cold enough.We moved from tropical Townsville to Adelaide and expereince the hottest summer in 60 yrs to the coldest winter in 20 yrs in the same year.Daughter was 7 and she asked why can't we live where it is nice all the time.Wish there was such a place.

I will be back later. I gotta go fling food at the beastie's.

Pardon all the spelling mistakes please.

I have to go too,clean the house as Renae and the girls are coming today.Catch you later.

TTFN all, Nola I was debating on marinating them, still not sure, have a couple of hours to figure it out!

Suzanne, I put on a dry rub and cook boneless pork chops on the Foreman grill, they turn out yummy. Love my Foreman.

Hi Birthday Girl!! I've done the dry rub on the grill. I found a recipe from Rachael Ray's 365 No Repeats cookbook. Rosemary, orange juice & zest. I'll let you know!!

I have a Hamilton Beach grill (Like the George Foreman). The only problem is Darrell hates cleaning it!! The rule in my house, whoever cooks, the other does dishes...THAT is why I do most of the cooking!!!

Suzanne... I have that rule too. I go on strike when IH lets the dishes pile up, but demands food at a specific hour.

Tonight he has to fend for himself with leftover Chinese.

HUUMMM< wish I had that rule. I get to cook and clean up both! Hubby does serve up desert, and put away the food after we eat. The dishes are left for me.

HEIDI, where will you be eating tonight?

I don't feel hungry after last night, and he's been slacking off on the dishes again. I may eat something later.

That's been our rule since we started living together 19 years ago...we didn't have a dishwasher until this house.
MizT: So what did you do for your birthday hon?? I hope you had some time to relax & enjoy yourself.

We'll be celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary this December...I am anticipating someone asking.

Suzanne, tomorrow is my birthday, we topsiders get a 2 day celebration cause it is tomorrow in Oz already. We will go out to lunch and shopping tomorrow. Hubby wants to pick up a cake mix and bake me a birthday cake, he can cook, just does not do so often.

OH Saturday I will go to a quilt show. I shall buy myself a present from the vendors there. hehehe I am thinking an applique foot for my sewing machine, some threads I need and whatever else strikes my fancy. I am meeting a couple of quilting friends, and I think we will do lunch together, so I get to spread my celebration over half the week. that is fine with me.

Suzanne, what should we be asking?

MizTricia, I hope you have a great time at the quilting show. I enjoy shows like that, especially with friends.

I do the dishes, but the beastie boys unset the table and put a lot of it away. They also help unload the dishwasher. Mitchell now makes our lunches. He has become good at making sandwiches.

I am going to say good night. I hope everyone has a wonderful day/night, where ever you are. Catch you all tomorrow.

My Grandparents, are called Oma an Opa.

My Children's Grandparents. Oma and Opa, and Grandma and Grandy!

Good Morning everyone.. Rainy day here in Perth today. My Garden is enjoying the moisture from the sky, afterall we have had gorgeous Sunny Winter Days for the last week.

ahh the 18th today, must be Ms Alabama's Birthday.

Happy Birthday Tricia. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

ooh Great Grandmother (Hubby's Grandma on his father's side) my #1 boy called her Granny Grandma when he was ittle. only my 2 called her that. I think she liked it, as all the birthday cards to the boys after that she wrote love from Granny Grandma.

HI all.... Seems as if I'm the only "Big Mom here....I selected that name after a lovely woman from my childhood...a family friend, who was one of the kindness folks I knew. Sully was known as Pop Pop. My own grandparents were Grand mom and Pops. My sister was the original Mamacita in the family...that's why I'm Mamacita 2...the secrete is now exposed....lol

WELL JUST FANCY THAT...
Misty and two tee's too many share a birthday...
I'll catch you BOTH tomorrow after you have slept to plaster your page with smilies...
[we are on dial up and it is cramping my style...might have to go sort boxes.... also to make matters worse my favourite game on Facebook is down for maintenance/upgrading...SOB!!]

MizT: A birthday week celebration sounds good to me!! I was wondering if anyone was going to ask how long we've been married! Sometimes it doesn't feel like 18 years, and sometimes it does!!!

The pork recipe was yummy!!! If anyone wants it, let me know...It would probably work on chicken too!!

MizT: Darrell KNOWS better than to demand ANYTHING from me!!! I can be VERY stubborn!! Dinner is ready when I say it is (or the smoke alarms go off) tee hee

sat up far too late last night...we are uncapped after midnight... researching bathroom fixtures and fittings..last night it was toilets...the one in the bathroom is coming adrift from the wall and is in the wrong place..
