Red Lady papaya photos
Q

Jane, where exactly are you located ? Although don't think that matters much, the flies are everywhere. However, this year their numbers hereabouts were minimal,..so minimal, my glass jars collected only about two dozen each. Started out in '09 with the tall, skinny papaya plants, then 2 yrs later, switched to the Red Lady's, then dropped them all together till this last year, when, just for the hell of it, went back to 5 of the tall guys. Wish I had a photo or two of a hanging vinegar jar, however, am sure you can easily visualize the scene. Fruit flies hereabouts come around in July, like clockwork. So I overlap a bit, hang the jars in early/mid June, this yr took 'em down in early Aug. What happens is, the flies go " bananas " when they whiff the strong, pungent scent of the cider. So they crawl into the smallish holes in the metal cap to " get at that wonderful liquid ", soon realizing they can't get out, then fall into the cider and drown. I've seen bottles in August with a huge soggy black mass of what seems like hundreds in ea jar. If it rains heavily, most jars will get diluted, so just monitor them and refresh w/more apple cider vinegar, screw cap back on & re-hang. To be 100 % honest, once every two years or so I will find one, or at the most, two mango's destroyed by the fruit flies, but as long as I watch the jars once in awhile, and refill the ones that rarely need it, my fruit fly problems, - once fierce, are now over ! When in use I have two on each of my two largest trees, the 15' tall Glenn. and the 14' tall Kent. the two teenagers ( Tebow & Carrie ) only get one ea ! Still, a lot less work than the paper bags,...a lot less ! ( smile ) I admire your patience and work ethic, but hopefulhly those days are over. Good luck !

Ann, try saving it to your Clippings. Look to the right of your last post (just above this). You will see the word Clippings in green letters. Under that it will say Clip This Post. For each recipe or comment you want to save, click on Clip This Post. Another way to do it is to highlight the entire thread, or the parts you want, right click with your mouse and then click on Copy. Start a new document in Word and paste the thread into that document, then save it to your computer. If you want me to do that for you and then email it to you, let me know.

I was just showing all my pics of my trip to Slow's to my hubby, and the one thing I said to him was "I only have a 1/4 the "stash" Slow does!!! He just shook his head in wonder/horror(neat freak has to contend with Jane the Hoarder!lol!) I maybe have closer to the same amount Slow...but You have cooler stuff!!!ha! It was so bad when I was there....I was going around her studio and opening everydrawer and looking at everything...like a kid in a candy store!ha! I did stop myself from taking pics of her "Stash" HA! Plus we went to HobbyLobby...WAAAH, We don't have that awesome store here in Canada. :-(

Storage of paper plates, cups etc
Q

They are with the picnic/potluck/party stuff in a spare room closet. I like themed party ware for grand kids and my Red Hat group so I pick patterns that catch my eye on sale. I keep various insulated carriers and picnic totes there also. I have over sized plastic shoebox type bins dedicated to certain holidays I have labeled. Those hold holiday cookie cutters, cake toppers, cupcake liners/wrappers, treat bags etc. along with the plates,napkins etc. for that theme. They stack nicely on a shelf. We don't use everyday paper things other than paper towels and plain napkins. Not even for when we grill outdoors.

You are all so sweet...thank you.

My necklace was a gift and I love it, too.

Ok for drink recipes, I had vodka, tonic water and lime. I can't remember if Sis had wine or vodka; she normally loves her wine.

We were celebrating our oldest sister's 80th bday...a fun time with family and friends.

It was the first time some of us had been to our nephew's new home. He and his wife had a wonderful meal for us...all homemade Tex Mex with cake and homemade ice cream.

How very nice and complimentary of you all half blind people. *snort* Thanks so much, really! :)

No Cup o Golds I'm sorry to announce Carol. Not since I polished off the last one you mailed me. TX still doesn't sell them either. Waaa!

My red solo cup also had vodka/tonic with a twist. It's always a refreshing libation.

If you look closely, you'll see the birthday girl, DS Donna, sneaking up behind granlan to horn in on our photo-op. It was a lovely evening with family and friends. So enjoyed being with everyone.

I like the new look around the table.

suzieque, I'm the brunette with the gray highlights. :) Little Sis (Summer TX) keeps telling me she has more gray and I guess that's why she keeps coloring her hair. I finally gave up dealing with all that even though I'm 3 yrs. older. lol
