Good Morning on Saturday!

14 years ago

Morning All,

The rummage sales today were not so good. I only bought 3 nice embroidery hoops for a total of twenty five cents. Yesterday was much better. I found lots of church type cookbooks and they were five for a dollar. I got a bunch of those and will have a lot of fun looking though them. For a dollar I bought a nice new Wilton Texas sized muffin pan, and for fifty cents a big pie pan with a cover for the top. For two dollars I got a big matching set of plastic storage containers with lids and they all fit inside of each other. I have a good use for those in my pantry.

I also watched Baby Alyssa for a few hours so her Mommy could tidy up their home.

Yesterday I baked a big pan of brownies for Amber and Mike to take to a birthday pitch in and I also baked for us this weekend a glazed lemon cake. Today I am getting ready to put together a pot roast in my crock pot and make some coleslaw for tomorrow's dinner after church, here at home. I have a bunch of tomatoes and some peppers to wash up and do something with.

The weather here isn't too bad after being very, very foggy this morning early. It is 73 outside right now and a little overcast. Looks like I really should get busy. What have you all been doing lately?

It's 61ÃÂº here and partly cloudy....feels quite cool. I just mixed up a batch of Hungarian twists to bake for after church coffee tomorrow, and now I'm going to make myself some waffles. I always freeze a few when I make them, as they reheat quite well. Maybe I'll get to my garage cleaning which has been hanging over my head for weeks.

Good morning, just had a good storm blow through here in SE Wisconsin. We needed the rain so I'm not too bummed about it. Going to get busy, do some ironing and start pulling things for my fall garage sale.
I think we will do Pioneer Womans beef and snow peas over rice noodles for dinner.
Enjoy your day.

** for Annette, Bobbie, and Nancy for getting Finland (I think...) Another ** for Bobbie who also knew Liechtenstein, so she gets a toatl of **** TM, for picking up on my clue meant to lead everyone to principality and this making me feel clever that it was a decent clue, AND for being honest, *! I do like the process of discovering new facts when researching questions. I had no idea that there were only two doubly landlocked countries in the world. Actually, I never heard that term before. Now, how to work it into a casual conversation some day...haha. ;) When ranked by number of medals per capita, Finland leads the summer games with 17,982 inhabitants per medal and Liechtenstein leads the winter games with 3989 inhabitants per medal. Have a marvelous day and thanks for playing. I have ten new hosta to plant and here we are heading for 90 degrees F. Ugh. Maybe I'll just plop them in a bucket of water until it cools down a little!

Four stars for Bobbie and TM! Yes, the term jean is a form of Genoa which is indeed in Italy. The French word for that city is GÃÂªnes which morphed into the English word jeans. There has been debate as to whether NÃÂ®mes, France or Genoa, Italy was the place where denim originated, but most of the fabric imported by England was from Genoa and then there is historical evidence from mid-17th century art: Until now, there were only fragmented written records to rely on to document the shipments of the low-cost fabric that flooded from Genoa into northern Europe -- and especially England -- in the mid-17th century. But art historians believe the newly-discovered works were painted somewhere around Venice, suggesting that jeans have Italian, rather than French, ancestry. "In people's minds, jeans used to be all about Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, about the United States," said Francois Girbaud, a designer who helped curate the exhibition. "Nimes or Genoa? I don't have the answer. But it's amusing to think that jeans already existed in 1655." Establishing exactly where jeans originated has been difficult because few records documenting their earliest manufacture and export survived. Unlike finely embroidered clothing owned by the aristocracy, which has ended up in collections and museums, denim was favoured by the working class, who wore it until it fell to pieces and had to be discarded. "We have accounts from an English tailor saying that his fabric came from Genoa, and that is the origin of jeans," said the curator of the exhibition, Gerlinde Gruber. "But this gives us new documentary proof of a historical reality that has been forgotten." Sailors from Genoa wore clothing from the fabric. Thanks for playing, you two. Have a lovely Sunday. It is cool enough for jeans here this morning, but it will be back to shorts by mid-day. :) Cynthia

Morning! The weatherman predicted rain for the rest of the week until Memorial Day, but I didn't see a drop yesterday and today the sun is out and it's already 50 so I'm thinking it's gonna be a nice day. My DH, Dad and brother are taking my 3 oldest kids out skeet shooting today. I'm staying home with the youngest and I'm gonna see if my DM wants to go to the TS. ha Being from the South I grew up around guns and knowing how to shoot. My DH, Dad and brothers are all big hunters. I just surprised myself that I did so well after not having shot one in so long. Been like 10+ years. My DD is wanting to go hunting with her dad so she needs to get familiar with guns this summer and of course she'll have to go thru the gun safety course. I did see Bebe's post. Sounds like neither rain, nor sleet, nor kidney stone will keep her from her convention. hahaha She's gonna have so much fun. Must be some weird cosmic phenomena....my kids let me sleep in this morning too. ha I made it til almost 9am! I was tired too cause we didn't get home until after midnight last night. We went out to eat and to see the new Indiana Jones movie, then stopped for ice cream on the way home. A lady was having problems with her car in the parking lot and we stopped to help her so that's why we were home so late. I hear my mom coming up the stairs so I need to go see if she's interested in going with me to the TS. I'll let you know if I get any good finds. ha Have a great Saturday! Did the tornado warnings pass? ~Anj

Sue, I missed what happened that you aren't walking well--?? What happened? Hope it continues to get better. It's another yucky day here. Been raining ever since our GS got here Wednesday. He's been such a help. He moved a large armoire from one bedroom to another, including moving 2 TV's in the process and he helped Harry put together the new TV stand for our new TV which will be delivered next week. Plus, you have to love a guy who eats anything you put in front of him. We hadn't seen him since he was a teen--now he's 24--and it's so nice getting to know him all over again. He's very bright and reads a LOT! Wish he could stick around longer but he leaves tomorrow for Miami to visit his other grandmother and relatives. He's a joy! This afternoon is the big SEC Alabama-UF game so we're going to tailgate at home. I have shrimp cocktail, chicken salad sandwiches on croissants, Fritos w/guacamole, pretzels w/mustard and an olive-pickle plate. Later I'll make a pizza. I'll make brownies later to go with the peppermint stick ice cream, too. Hope you all have a great day. And get better soon, Sue.

Did my 5 mile walk with Georgy, had breakfast, relaxed a little and now I'm going to start cleaning the Master Bedroom, bath and dressing room (fancy name for a big walk-in closet that gets rather messy but at least it keeps the mess out of the bedroom.) Right now I have some pinto beans cooking in the slow cooker for tonights dinner. I'm also hoping to get some ironing done some time today.

Just grated up enough zucchini for a round of Chocolate Zuch bread. Will bake it in 6 mini loaves to freeze for Christmas giving. The pans are prepared and now I am resting before moving on. These days it takes me most of a day to bake one round and clean up after. Will spend a little time picking around in the flower beds later, and that will be my day other than finding something to thaw for dinner.

Good morning Sue. Glad you posted as I am in such a icky mood and you make me feel much better. As you know Minot really got hammered with the flooding and there is so much information being given the people by so call experts it really gets to me to see people ripped off.
Thanks again Sue for being you!!!

I had a busy morning for a Saturday. Georgysmom made me feel guilty posting everything she accomplished yesterday ;0

I scrubbed and baked those 3 huge baking potatoes I got at the store for .83 and when they cool, I'll make twice baked potatoes and freeze all but one, which we'll have tonight.

Did two loads of laundry and changed our sheets. Then I took everything out of my spice/baking cabinet and washed all the shelves and--now get this--arranged all my spices in alphabetical order. Isn't that OCD? I bought a thing called a Spice Stack. It is a metal box with 3 shelves that pull out and down so you can see the spices. Each shelf holds 9 jars, or double the amount of those little jars. It's really cool. So no more rummaging around and taking 15 jars out just to find the one I'm looking for. I was surprised I only had doubles of 3 spices.

That was pretty nice so I cleaned the pantry, too.

Oh, Phyllis, I wish you hadn't mentioned the "G" word (garage). Ours is a disaster.

Marie-ndcal, did you flood again? Didn't you have bad flooding this spring, too? Bless your heart, you have every right to feel bad, but wish you felt better.

You guys are all so energetic and productive!
I just did 1 load of laundry and hung them out. Just brought them inside. Getting humid out. Today is our annual air-show and the fighter planes and Snowbird aerobatics etc etc fly over our area. Very cool, but scared Smudge out of the window with the noise! LOL

I'm in a bit of a funk today. This is our Celebration Dinner this evening for Mom and I'm so torn with emotions. I even thought that I'd better not wear make-up cause I'm going to be crying! (even though she wants us to be happy).

Jas, I hope your celebration of your mother will be as happy a time as she wanted it to be. She always seemed so cheerful no matter how bad her situation was. Harry wants a similar celebration of life dinner. I will be thinking of you, sweetie. ((Jasdip))

Good Morning on Saturday!
