HOHOHO,IT'S SHOPPING WE MUST GO

Aw Man...just realized I forgot to pick up the newspaper. It wasn't raining so headed down the driveway to get it. No sooner picked it up than the bottom fell out and started to POUR down....just realized how long that stinking driveway is...lol Shoes and shirt soaked...and I just got my hair dried....look like a drowned rat.

aww I'm sorry Moon, if you were here you would have had popsickle hair before ya got back in the house!
we talked about miracle whip so much I had to go eat a miracle whip sandwhich with Cheddar & sour cream chips on it! LOL

Trina, when did you get a cabin built on that land in MO that you have??

it's been there. it's just a little hunting thing not very big, or pretty. Definately only a warm weather thing!

Moon you didn't have goop in your hair did you? That could have been disastrous. ;)
Sunny and FREEZING here, below freezing. Blech. I think the wind calmed down though.
Trina mayo on chips doesn't sound nearly as good as chocolate on chips.
Venice did I say hi earlier? I'm doing flyby's.....

hhhhmmmm chocolate dipped potato chips....that sounds good actually.

No goop...Lynn just cold wet hair...grin Now I just can't get warm again...I do hate being cold...Gonna go make a nice big cuppa tea...and carry it around til my hands warm up...lol

they're very good, and easy to make I once did half white half dark. Hard not to eat 'em as you go lol

ok I gotta motor...I'll catch you guys in a bit.

DH made Yukon Gold potato chips for supper the other night...yummy and great texture.

Hi again every one,although it's 8.45 here now and I'm going to watch the next part of a series on TV that I like,about Merlin and King Arthur,2 of my heroes of British history:}
I watch it with Will,my 14 year old.
I find it hard to imagine chocolate with potato,I guess each country has it's traditions,but I've not managed to think of anything we have here that mixes those 2 tastes together.
Tomorrow,I'm hoping to go walking with big son,we missed last week as he was doing some motorway driving practise,now he's passed his test,as you can't drive on a motorway here as a learner driver.So the chap who'd taught him took him out to do about 7 hours,with a break in the middle.So we're hoping it won't rain tomorrow,then we can get out in the hills.
I hope everyone has a good afternoon/evening and all those with ice and snow stay safe and sound.
I'll be in touch tomorrow .
Take care all
Joy

Enjoy your show Joy...I find the Arthurian legends most intriguing...loved Mary Stewarts Crystal Cave series

Moon,just before I go,I've a lot of books about Arthur,Merlin and that period in history,it's a great interest of mine,such a long time ago but so very interesting.I also borrow any books that I see in the library relating to the subject too.When I was on holiday in Cornwall,SW.England in 2008,I went with DH and the boys to Tintagel Castle ,which is said to have been King Arthur's stronghold.It's a ruin,but there's still a lot to see,high on a cliff separated from the land by water,but close enough to the mainland to be approached by a footbridge,it's wonderfull.:}I would certainly go back again.
I'm going now,back tomorrow.
Goodnight all [again:}]

Night Joy. Have a good walk tomorrow.

While all is quiet I will start a new thread. But first...

Christmas is celebrated at the end of December to coincide with the already well established pagan celebrations of the Winter Solstice and the Roman Saturnalia and the Babylonian celebration of the birth of the Son of Isis and Osirus. It is generally accepted by scholars and theologians that Christ was born most likely in September as the shepherds were still in the fields with their flocks. Many Christian celebrations coincide with pagan feasts and a means of trying to blend the Christian and Pagan holy days to assuage the transition and further the acceptance of the new religion.

Well I made up some of preacher Jims cough remedy. This is pretty good suff Shim, and I am not coffin at all LOL But why r these ferds lookin funny?

Went to get a flu shot at the mall and I'm telling ya the lines were 2 miles long. So I just trotted my little self back home.

LOL

GS had hot dogs...his favorite.
DH is cooking his own hamburgers. I am still full from the late lunch mom and me had while out getting haircuts.

If I complain to much he may make another and I am done painting for awhile...picking my fights cautiously...

It pays to choose your battles...some things just aren't worth the hassle or the headache.....grin

That is so true and since I don't want anything right now I will hold off for awhile...grin...

negotiating a truce can be a lot of fun...grin

Really?? Hmmm please tell me more....

The madder you are the more you can negotiate for to make you happy again....grin

Ohh.....I thought you were going to give some fresh new ways to do the negotiating.....wink wink

All the plants in the garden have their own individual "growing " conditions....grin There are just so many ways to grow them, and none of them are THAT new..lol

Ok guess its the old way or no way over here then...LOL

After 38 years the old ways are the new ways...grin
