Angie, so glad to hear dgd is doing much better.

We just got back from the store. I stocked up for the trip, suntan lotion, advil, pony holders, pirate boots for Samantha, all kinds of goodies.

 

[iankh]

Will you be as Ritzy?

I have something even more debonair in mind.

Off to Safeway, or for those of you in Chicago, Dominicks. I still love Jewel better.

Just came back from Jewel.

In Chicago, there are Dominicks People and there are Jewel People. Anyone from Chicago knows what I'm talking about.

We are most definitely, Jewel People.

My sister is in Chicago right now for a wedding. She said it is so COLD! Ian, is that true or is she just whining as us California folks can do?

Lisa, she's just whining. It was a bit nippier yesterday, but still probably around 40F. Today it is beautiful and about 46F. I had on a middle weight jacket and felt too warm, I had to take off my jacket.

It is sunny here today too. A really nice day.

saw a smart car on a test drive. Here they are at the Jaguar dealer, pretty neat looking.

my mom called me from Blizzard Beach....must be bored.

 

[lillygator]

what a gorgeous and hot day today, perfect for a barbeque.....or the beach.

It was snowing here earlier today. Big pretty floating flakes. Right now a rain/snow mix, mostly rain. I just looked at the yard. The grass has gotten SO high and there is so much of it and no sun in sight until who knows when. We just need to get some goats to keep the stuff eaten down!

40F Too warm? Yes, she probably is just whining but I'd be whining right along with her! I keep a middle weight jacket on in the house when I have the air conditioner on!

Jackie - don't be so tough on yourself. If it was me, I'd just call it a senior moment.

Woody

I am guilty of quite a few of those moments too.

 

[MrsMork]

Back to the big snowflakes now. This is late Jan or early Feb weather for us!

Cars

Back home from running errands, which included stopping at a couple of car dealers.

We had a horrible experience at Toyota. I had made an appointment to do some test drives. I spoke to someone over the phone during the week and asked for an early appointment. They gave me one for 9:00 AM.

Sukie worked last night and got home at 1AM. So, still tired I dragged us off to be at the dealer at 9:00 AM.

No sales people. They're all in a meeting and won't be available for 30 minutes or so. I asked, then why did you give me a 9:00 AM appointment. Why didn't you just give me a 9:30 or 10:00 AM?

I may be odd, but I am too busy to sit around and waste time.

I ended up leaving the dealership.

I did stop in at the Smart dealer again and also stopped in at a Honda dealer to see a fit.

I put myself down on the secondary waiting list for the Smart, as there may be an "orphan" that comes available in a month or so.

Arts and Crafts with Ian

Boys and girls, you know that magnetic sheets can be very expensive, especially if you make a mistake, or want to make many, many signs.

OK, boys and girls, on today's program, we are going to look at a really inexpensive way to make door signs for our cabin doors.

Here's what you will need:

1. Heavy weight photo printer paper

2. Magnetic business cards. Your mom or dad probably have some that they have received from local businesses. I myself have lots of these.

3. Sticky-back Velcro strips

Cut about 6 to 8 squares out of the sticky-back Velcro strips. You may want to ask mom or a grown-up to help you with the scissors. You are going to want pairs, the fuzzy part and the part with the little plastic hooks.

Cut squares out of the magnetic business cards, the same size or slightly bigger than the Velcro squares.

Carefully peel the backing off of one of side the pairs, perhaps the hook side, and stick each one to a magnetic squares.

Now you can print a sign on the heavy photo paper.

Now peel the the other side of the Velcro pairs and stick them to the sign you made.

You now have a magnetic sign.

To make more signs, just print more sheets. You will only need half the Velcro as you can reuse the side of the Velcro stuck on the magnets.

Presto! You know have signs, made for just pennies!

On our next program, boys and girls, we're going to make a working model of the Disney Magic out of milk cartons, pipe cleaners and jelly jar lids.

See you next week kids!

I have a turkey in the oven, so I guess this is appropriate weather for that. It smells really good.

 

[calmom]

Wouldn't this be nice for the cabin?

Turkey in the oven? Boy or girl?

 

[MrsMork]

boy.

 

[nanatink]

Dear Tammy! Don't worry, somehow, you will get a Palo brunch! I have a ressie for my DH and myself. We will give you ours if we need to!

Connie

Connie I do look forward to meeting you and your family. You are such a kind and generous person. You are a treasure among friends.

 

[granmaz]

Marilyn, are you still in denial about being able to take THREE cases each? Or are you just too scared to mention it to John?!



Personally, I'm determined to take absolutely everything, just because I can. But DH won't let me, on the grounds that he has to carry it ...... so unfair.

I had read it some time ago but had forgotten. No, John would not be impressed. He wasn't too keen when we began taking 3 between us, and this time we have 4. No way any more!!

Connie I do look forward to meeting you and your family. You are such a kind and generous person. You are a treasure among friends.

I so agree. A very special person.

 

[ibouncetoo]

The other day I started to worry a little, thinking to myself, how on earth will I catch up with the Thieves thread after 3 weeks away! Then I remembered ......

NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME!

...off to meet Peg for lunch (more tax delaying tactics!)...

 

[calmom]

boy.

Those are the only kind of turkeys I know how to make!
