One to go.

Me myself And I. say goodbye.

eaa you fly in and out too quickly and I miss you! But you did get another TOPP.... just updating the list...

All.... I just proved that a person (not fully recovered from Mono) can sleep for hours with 3 or 4 jack hammers going off in the house. The dogs are following my lead and sleeping, too.
Since I need to stay inside with the dogs, I just decided to bake some cookies. Chocolate chip.

Where did that little Devil go?

I've never tried sleeping with jackhammers Heidi, but I did once sleep on an old gun emplacement (rock) surrounded by 100s of other people hoping for a good seat when tall ships sailed into Sydney Harbour....

Hullo Suzy! I wish I had seen that sight.

Not the 100 people on the rock.... the tall ships.

Suzy.... my box tells me that you're in Lurk mode. It also tells me that Tami the Troublemaker is around.

That's 'cause I'm not really here Heidi, morning rush is starting, actually started.. 2 minutes late waking the younguns.....

Heidi, save me some chocolate chip cookies. They are one of my favorites.

As soon as the first batch of cookies came out of the oven, IH, who had been making himself scarce, appeared out of nowhere and took off with a large handful of warm cookies. I think he smelled them 1/2 mile away.

The workmen are gone for the day!!! Peace and quiet at last!

Heidi, I live about a 1,000 miles away and I can smell them. I love the smell and taste of fresh baked cookies.

Heidi, I am glad you have peace and quiet. I never have quiet with the beastie boys around.

I'm talking relative quiet. The dogs are outside barking at the cats right now. And IH is off using my tractor. (He has his own, but prefers mine).

I understand completely. When it gets too quiet around here, I wonder what is happening. My kids are always brining their friends here to play. I don't mind, at least I know where my kids are. When I was growing up, we would go out to play and not come home until it got dark. Now, I am scared to let the boys go anywhere by themselves, and I live in what would be considered a safe neighborhood.

Good Morning SA6, doing well in missing everyone here, must improve my timing.

Hi Broni, how are you doing today? I have been popping in and out this afternoon. I am typing a project for my son.

hi all! suzy he WAS at work! he came home! no, really, he thinks it is funny that i like this place so much. he doesn't mind at all. he came home to get some dough ready and rising. he will form loaves, let them raise and then bake some bread when he is really home from work. he usually makes 6 fresh loaves a week. we have been living off store bought bread for the last 5 1/2 months. i am soooo excited to go back to the good stuff! when i make bread it takes me alllll day. he whips out delicious bread so fast! i love it!

i gotta run... pick up and drop off, and repete. then i go sing. have a good one ladies!

Broni, I get an A in missing people too, playground is empty again. Well, we got my auto home, dealt with pharmacy and doctor re prescriptions I did not get yesterday. I made lunch, Now must think of something for dinner.

OH, hubby stopped at grocery on the way home to buy some colas. He came in saying, I bought you a surprise (once did that much more than he does now) He had a bar of dark chocolate! It is a no name bar, some fund raiser selling them, but it is dark chocolate, it cannot be all bad!

OH Mariana, he bakes bread? And he came home just to get it started? Where did you find him, certainly a keeper.

Morning all! I'm officially here now, and I've told the site to say so.

Enjoy your dark chocolate MizT!!

For those of you who no longer visit Easy...

SOME NEWS... that Ian in Sydney has been reluctant to share....

Ian's and Anne's youngest son Rob has been studying/working at a university in Germany for a few years now. Rob has just won the prestigious (and monetarily valuable) Newton International Fellowship to research bio-fuels at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom for the next two years. Well done Rob, and congratulations to all!

Tami, know just what you mean. I always know where my kids are.

Mariana, the closest we come to baking break is sticking the ingredients in the trusty break making machine!

Snorting here - don't you wish you could edit your comments? Break is obviously meant to be bread....

CG, of course we visit easy!!

Mmmmmmmmmm homemade bread. It makes the house smell incredible.

Zusy, will have my dark chocolate in AM, it is not a good mix with night time meds. Chocolate is the perfect breakfast food, right?

CG, thanks, good news from Ian and his son. congratulations are in order. I might have missed that on Easy today. I have fallen behind and cannot catch up.

MizT, chocolate is absolutely the perfect breakfast food! Especially with a cup of milk based coffee. But don't tell my kids I said that....

Trivia...did you know that the colors of peacock feathers and bubbles are both caused by interference?

I'm following a path begun by googling Jim's 'nerdy' talk on his blog... this line made me think of SA.

MizT, chocolate is the perfect anytime food. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. I also love the dark chocolate the best.

Thank you for that info Suzy. You can share any other trivia you might have.

There is only 6 more to the next TOPP. I am sure there is someone out there lurking.

I'm not really lurking. At least I told the site I am here, it's just decided I haven't closed and reopened enough stuff to acknowledge me!

folks...and now I am out of here....Ciao

You are in my friend box. I figured you were somewhere else doing a puzzle. How are you this morning/evening?

After taking Ally to her camp this morning I decided to stop for a cup of coffee on the way home. I like to do that alone every once in a while. When I do I 'people watch'. It is fun to imagine what the lives of the people I see are like.

Have a good day, Bean.
