And it's only the middle of the afternoon!
What'll you have done by 9 PM??
You could make one of those muffins into a small pizza for my supper....and I'll have the other half with butter!

Ron is one of my favorite Ebay sellers. His plants are always healthy and a decent size for the price. I got my Miner's Claim from him and only paid about $10. My Candy Corn vine (Manettia inflata), from Ron also, froze in the GH last month. I cut it back but don't know if it will return from the roots or not. I'm at a swim meet in Delaware this weekend but found out that Pepper's Greenhouse is very close to the hotel so I'm going tomorrow. They have Candy Corn vines on their site and I will get another if they have them in stock. I've never tried taking cuttings but will be happy to send you a piece when it warms up. I can't wait to go to Pepper's. I've ordered from their online catalog but have never been to their greenhouse. I'm glad we don't have much luggage in the car! lol Karyn

DH left early this morning to do some painting for a friend so I thought, here's my chance to get a lot accomplished...Well so far, made the bed and fed the cats...It's such a nice day here in SW. Pa., I'm having a hard time staying inside...But I do want to do windows and blinds and put up new sheers in the living room, work on a Tshirt quilt, bake something and then maybe tonight take in a movie with a friend..... Hope everyone is enjoying their day....

@ci_lantro I read it exactly the same way. He stayed with me for at least an hour - over which period of time his phone continued to ring non-stop. I think he was a busy guy (highly recommended by the local roofing supply store) and what he viewed to be the fix for the job wasn't worth his time to do. He walked me through everything very slowly, answered a million of my questions, and also offered to pop back around if I got into any trouble. Though I found it unusual to have called in a professional and have him leave with a list of things for ME to do, he was a refreshing change from the usual NYC f*#$^ers I regularly encounter. If only we had got him in from the start instead of a GC who gave the impression he knew what he was doing. Well you live and learn. I spent the day yesterday crawling around the roof and went through nearly 3 gallons of flashing cement. Maybe I went overboard filling every and anything, but I suppose in these situations too much is never enough. Today rain is on the cards, so we shall see. Pray for me folks!

All wonderful photos! Here's mine - 1960s at Busch Gardens in Tampa. They used to have a storybook village there and we loved it. I'm the one with the camera My mom sure had fun dressing us back then. I wonder if it was around the 4th of July? 😃 And I'm a bit confused by this statement: "National Siblings Day was the 10th and I didn't put Siblings in the heading so I wouldn't be found playing here because I posted this on FB too." ??? And I'm also wondering what a telephone closet is, exactly?

LOL Thanks Shelly!

I ended up making pumpkin drop cookies and a batch of sweet potato muffins. The pumpkin and sweet potatoes are in the freezers.

The cornbread is done, I made biscuits last night, and the beans are basically done....just need to hold out til Hubby is home in about 45 minutes.

I almost have the kitchen cleaned up too.

LindaC, at the rate I've been at it today..by 9pm I'll be in bed asleep..LOL

Sounds like a fun day. I wish I was home baking instead of my office on this dreary drizzly day! Would you please post your english muffin recipe? And do sugar pumpkins look different than jack olantern pumpkins? I dont know the difference if there is one.
thanks!
