Hi Everyone, Just a quick hello. I am cooking, cooking, cooking. We are having friends over tonight, a Boy Scout banquet tomorrow (pot luck) and ofcourse goodies for tomorrow night. DS#2 is getting some awards tomorrow at the banquet. He is going up another rank in scouts. He will be at the Star rank. Six more months to his Life rank and then he can start working on his Eagle project. Not bad for 13 years old! (Can you tell I'm just a wee bit proud?) Tikanis, good thoughts are being sent to your friend Scott. (((HUGS))) Dee, I hope hubby is doing better, and you as well. Suzanne, it is 45 degress here. I hope to get out in a little bit. The most I've been outside today is to let the dog in and out! Enjoy, it won't last! QOD: Quiet. DH does not like to go to Super Bowl parties because he does not want to socialize during the game. He likes to watch the game on his own couch with his own remote and bathroom! So DS #2, DH and I will watch the game but I am making some special munchies. Two mexican dips, marinated mushrooms, shrimp and pork pie. I know it is a weird combo, but DH doesn't do the mexican stuff. Go Pats!!!! Love, Besh

I love that site! Thanks for providing hours of entertainment.

Congratulations....I bet you just can't wait...!!! I'm on the second round...great grand kids....we have three. Marcus will be 7 this month Lilah will be 4 this month and Amara will be 3 in November This post was edited by pattico on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 11:34

Yep Linda....the temp here is supposed to reach above 40 today and that means a whole lot to the utility workers....good and bad. The ice will melt and allow them to reach areas they couldn't get to before but on the flip side it also means the trees that are ice covered will snap back when the ice melts meaning the power lines may be torn down again.........
