I thought you all might enjoy this, and find it interesting...
I recieved this in my email....

Betsy, it's probably just me...but I couldn't see these. I bet they're amazing, tho!

 

[Hollyann]

ZJO!

I just had the most delightful time at the grocery store. Not only do I enjoy grocery shopping, but I chatted with some of the nicest ladies (Southern ladies MUST chat with each other when they grocery shop). The Thanksgiving spirit is in air in my home town!

I hope ya'll are having a great day!

I couldn't see them either

I've been busy today...... dance classes, work etc.

We are expecting some snow later tonight, maybe heavy snow and I'm hoping that it does not come

I have a few things that I need to finish up first.

Give me two or three days of tolerable weather and then I'll be okay with whatever winter wants to throw at me.

HI Threadkillers!

DU - I hope everything is okay with your mom. I'll hope for more "not bad" news than not good. We're here for you if you need us. For the record, I've not done any time up the river....but I did get a speeding ticket 20 years ago! Does that count?

SWTHD - you would love my house right now. The whole house smells like baked bread and I now have 4 dozen dinner rolls in the freezer!

Betsy - the rest of the house is done and it's clean, clean, CLEAN! Tom will dust again on Wednesday, but the heavy work is done! Here's the recipe:

Party Potatoes​

10 medium potatoes
1 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream
1 3oz pkg cream cheese
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp garlic salt


Peel and quarter potatoes; place in a large pan. Cover with water; add salt and boil until tender. Remove potatoes to a large bowl, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Whip potatoes until fluffy. Add sour cream, cream cheese, butter, garlic salt and reserved liquid. Pour potato mixture into a greased casserole dish. Cover and place in the refrigerator (overnight). About one hour before BAKING, remove from the refrigerator, brush top with melted butter and cover with lid. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes, removing foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to let the top brown slightly.

Notes: For some reason, this recipe really does turn out better if you whip the potatoes and THEN add the other ingredients - according to directions. It's not the same if you dump and stir. It's great to make this in advance and bake rather than be at the stove mashing potatoes while everyone is waiting for you on Thanksgiving day.

I think I'm going to try a Corn Casserole that I ran across. It sounds pretty good - super easy and I usually try one or two new recipes. Last year, I did almost ALL new recipes. I'll let you know how it turns out.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANUDDA CRAZY DAY!

In the final throws of EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER. ...for now! Gonna be suspended during the Holidays. Just have to hang pics back up & stuff. Going to my storage room today...I have lotsa stuff there, from my old place. Mom had a tendancey to go a bit heavy on the Angel Decor.
Then going to my friend Bob & Donnas house their PC is Kaboiked.....Their DD's Boy friend (who works for a wel known PC fix it CO....kaboshed it) then come back here & steam clean the LR rug. The Stairs came out soooooooooooo good. I added a scoop of OxiClean to the Rug Cleaner!

Anyhoooooooooooooo got some bad news yesterday. Dad went to his "pacemaker" Dr. I arrainged with a neighbor to take him. (guy needs a few bucks...and I cant stand waiting in anymore Dr.s offices ). Picture Lenny & Squggy 50 years later! Seems like the battery in Dads Pacemaker needs to be replaced. It's suppose to last 10 years...ONLY did 5 years. SO that all has to be arrainged today too....or Not. The Doctors office said this can be from now until 3 months from now.....UGH! I was too tored to argue.

Anyhoooooooooooooooooooo Thats the tale of the day. Tommorrow pick up James, go to see the new Bond (I am on vacation ) , Sunday shop for Thanksgiving...and whatnot after that.

Talk ith ya all later.

 

[Hollyann]

Hi DU - I'm sorry to hear about your father's pacemaker troubles. I hope the fix is quick and easy for both of you.

Enjoy your time off. I'm headed out to meet a girlfriend for breakfast than I have to pick up tables for Thanksgiving. You would think - a brand new table that SEATS TWELVE would be enough....nope! Need to add a 6' table to it!

Anyway, I hope you have as much fun shopping for Thanksgiving as I did yesterday - what a joy!

Take care and I hope all my Threadkiller friends have a great day!

OMG! Betsy - those pictures are SO beautiful! Thanks for sharing the link...incredible!

I've got to get some work done....CYA!

 

[Cruisin]

Morning again ladies.

Betsy I haven't tried to look at those pictures yet but your links don't tend to work well for me in Netscape and I have to open a different browser to see them.

Morning Ann. Work will always be there. That is my philosophy anyways

I went out and filled some birdfeeders, put the garbage out, cleaned out some freezers and rearranged them, picked up some in the house already and now I'm tired

I think it was all that COLD air outside.

 

[Cruisin]

The link worked for me this time Betsy.

Those are definitely awesome pictures.

I saw some Northern Lights here a couple of years ago.

I had never noticed any before.

They were so cool, green colours like those pictures.

Took me a bit to figure out what the heck it was.

 

[Dalpal]

We were really lucky to see them here in Pa....a bunch of years ago, when I lived at my old place on Laurel Lake...
Not as bright as thoses tho....more of a very light green and blueish...It was at night I remember and it ws like slow waves...REALLY AWSOME..
It was quite a thing here, as I dont think thats suppose to happen this far south...
I considered it a small gift to us from god, and have been very interested in them from then on....

I have never seen that other thing(fire rainbow?) tho...THAT is very interesting to me...COOL!
