Annie

Happy Wednesday Everyone!! Luv these games, not doing well in Bingo :(. You are a Blast of FUN Miss Annie. Thanks for keeping me entertain :)

Just got back from a trip to the south, Virginia to be exact. My husband and I are thinking of moving there for our retirement. Anyone have any input for us? We looked at the Roanoke area and love it. Then we headed East to the areas near Williamsburg but ruled that out.

The canines pulled another one for me. I have six words so far.

I am bringing home the hole punch from work tomorrow and will be working on the finishes of my book in the next few days. Looks like I will probably be mailing right on deadline.

Margo

Annie,

This has been such a fun swap. My cookbook is almost ready to go out. I really enjoyed this project and will post when it is on its way to Darrin! Amy

Amy so glad you are enjoying.....the day we stop having fun in life, is the day IT'S all over! Even when I am ticked off, I have fun! And then I have more fun! FUN keeps me sane.....LOL!

Margo-Virginia is such a nice place and I am sure you will enjoy your retirement there. What fun to move when you retire. Will it just be your Husband and you?

Annie-I now have 6 BINGO words.

Shirley

I mailed my package to Emily today. Emily, I hope you like it. I have a tracking number in case we need to look it up.

Jeanne

Bingo: Good doggie! Picked two of mine today!

Grats, Mary!

Cookbook headed to Darrin! Tracking # 9405803699300091500380

NO...NO....NO!!!

Regarding BINGO....Mary E does NOT have BINGO. Mary, I just checked your BINGO card. You need quite few more to get BINGO....

Do not call BINGO unless I have called the 15 selections on your BINGO card.

I took a quick look at everyones cards and no one is close to their 15....

Will be back later...

Annie

I didn't even realize she was calling Bingo until Erica congratulated her. I then thought, wow, Mary must have chosen very serendipitously as only 18 words were called.

Jeanne, you will be receiving a first edition of my cookbook on Monday according to the post office. I really hope you like it. Tracking number is 9505511080665289330752.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

See edit above. I should not post so late at night. Sorry for the confusion I caused. At the end of another spiraling moving day, I was just happy to check in and see the doggie picked two of my words.

These cookbooks are so exciting, can't wait to see everyones ideas. Hope to mail mine Monday I have had Company since last Friday so can't get a lot done.

Shirley

Shirley and everyone else....I will give everyone a few more days to send their creative cookbooks to their partners! I am looking at sending mine on Monday but it may turn in to Tuesday. To all, just post here after you send!

And let us not forget to post picture(s) of the cookbook creations our partner has sent us. WE will be voting on our favorite....for a little prize.

AS well, now that the sending has begun, please hold on to the envelope that your cookbook arrived in. And I will not tell you why that is....LOL!

Happy Friday! Enjoy............

Annie

I think I got all the kinks out of my cookbook with the format, now just need some more recipes to add. Every time I start to work on it the baby starts crying.

Whew, recipes selected, printing done.

Now for some cut and paste and other stuff.

Annie, thanks for the extension. I could use an extra day or two. I had everything done except the cover before we went on our trip and have been working every day since I got back. Lots of displays and changes to make at the store that by the time I get home, I'm too tired to tackle the project. Tomorrow we go to Cincinnati to celebrate two boys bdays. All three of our boys were born in October as was our grandson. As a matter of fact, little Brayden turned two today.

Shirley, yes it will just be Adrian and I. Our youngest is in college and I don't think he has plans to move back to these parts. All our kids do not this part of Ohio and only one is still in the area and her long range plan is to move away two. Two of them are still in Ohio but one plans to move to a southern state in the next year or two so no real reason to stay here. Everyone will be all spread out, might as well be in a central and wonderful location.

Bingo word seven for me today. Go doggies, go! Speaking of go, go Baylor.

Margo

Mary -- Just noticed your post about being in the process of moving. No doubt it's a stressful time, but hope it's exciting as well! Wishing you the best of luck on your move.

Good Saturday Morning....

Margo, great....glad the extension helps out. Amazing Brayden turned two years old...already!!

Poor Beth....her Boise State Broncos were upset last night by Utah St.....bad enough that they lost, more like brutalized, but Boise St only scored 26 points.....Will see how the rest of the football teams do today........score, score, score!

BINGO TIME........ALL OVER THE PLACE BINGO....

Annie

Hi Annie, I mailed out your swap yesterday. Let me know when you get it. I want to find out how many days it takes USPS to deliver within our state :)

I am enjoying some last looks at the garden here. The cup plants in bloom and the sunchokes with their edible rhizhomes. The fleabane. Sedum. Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes. Buddleia keeps going. The Cardinal Climber vine reseeded it's beautiful self, and so did the cosmos and sunflowers. If you are using pressed leaves to make cards, I recommend these lacy fingered Cardinal Climber leaves. Mary E.

And let us not forget what today is..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Erica.....enjoy...enjoy...have fun...have fun and then some!

Happy Birthday Erica!!! I know you are going to have a blast of fun fun fun!!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Happy birthday Erica. You share it with my youngest son.

Happy Birthday Erica!

Thank you! Thank you!

Happy Birthday Erica

I received Jeanne's package today. It was nicely wrapped in tissue paper. She used a Holloween theme and her cookbook was of things orange. She sent some Halloween candy and rudbeckia seeds as well.

Thank you so much, Jeanne! I am afraid my cookbook cover isn't nearly so crafty as yours.

Margo-My Cousin and her Husband are buying a house here in the Mountains, she retires in March (at age 55). I stayed way too long with my job and don't have an early retirement plan. I can't afford not to have insurance so I have another year after this one. We may have to visit one another, Virginia is not that far.

Mary-Good luck on your moving. You will get settled in just before the Winter Season.

Well they are calling for frost tonight so I brought all my house plants back in the house. They do so much better on the deck and porches.

We got together another group of ladies last night and taught them how to play BUNCO. Everyone really liked it so we will continue at least once a month playing.

Shirley

Happy Birthday, Erica!

Emily, I'm amazed my cookbook reached you so quickly. Annie, you are so generous with the prizes - will be excited to get something in the mail - other than the overflow of catalogs, magazines, junk mail, etc.

Annie, poor Emily will be be embarrassed to hold on the the envelope I sent my cookbook in. I only had one that was large enough and it was previously used so I put everything inside and wrapped the used envelope in paper cut from a grocery store bag. Do I get extra points for recycling? LOL

Shirley, we may be close to getting some frost, but not tonight. I was upset that my pepper plants which I have tried to care for most of the summer are finally blooming and starting to grow peppers. I think they will be moved into and out of the garage for awhile. I not only want the peppers, but I want to save some pepper seeds!

I haven't quite figured out the OBF football game. Some of you know I follow the Gamecocks at the University of South Carolina. They were not having a great year so far and then Coach Spurrier resigned this week and there was an interim head ball coach announced ... but the Gamecocks won their game today so maybe all of this will get straightened out. The teams we played the last two weeks have been very generous providing supplies for the flood victims, bottled water, and other assistance. My husband found a weather web site with a huge number of pictures of the flood. We were not here for most of those days - it looked so horrible. Of course, we worried a lot while we were away, but seeing it may have been worse. We still have water streaming through our horse pasture and it has been warm and sunny all week. We are ready for things to dry out.

Well, time for bed here. Enjoy your day tomorrow!

Jeanne

Happy Birthday Erica!

What a cute cover.

My cookbook is done and ready to be shipped on monday. Will post tracking number when I ship.

Its been a busy last couple of days over here. Im beat! Tomorrow is my day off yay.. Oh a day to catch up on other things, and try to relax. Night all.

YAH...the first cookbook has arrived. Emily, I would love to hear what Jeanne included in your cookbook.........

Annie

Way to go Margo 191 points...I don't think anyone will catch you.

Jeanne-Yes the frost got here and is supposed to be again tonight. My dahlias were just gorgeous, really sorry to see them gone. I gathered every seed I could find yesterday on my plants.

Off to a wedding, My nephew joined the Army last year and met the sweetest girl also in the Army. Today is their big day. Sad but her Mom passed away a month ago so she won't get to see her beautiful daughter's wedding.

Shirley

Here are the details of Jeanne's cookbook:

Cook in Color: Orange

By Jeanne

1. Honey Carrots

2. Sweet Potato Souffle

3. Delightfully Orange Jello

4. Pumpkin Mousse

6. Almost My Mom's Carrot Raisin Salad

7. Starbuck's Pumpkin Scones

8. Classic Bisquick Peach Cobbler

9. Award Winning Peaches and Cream Pie

10. Roasted Pork Chops and Peaches

I thought it was quite timely with Halloween around the corner to choose that theme.

Emily

Shirley, thanks for posting because it reminded me I need to dig up my dahlia rhizomes for next year. At least that will be something I can take if we do move before the plants start coming up next year. I feel if we do move, it won't be until late spring or during the summer so I should be able to take a lot. I know I have a lot of things to do before we can put the house on the market. Mostly get rid of a lot of stuff collected over the years. Margo

Oh Jack frost told all my dahlias the season is over. The brugs had blooms but never got there. So I didn't get to see the color. Plaanted my red tulips and crouses . Now the ground is so dry. Shirley- A Military wedding how sweet. Sorry but I only follow the NFL. But the Wildcats should do better. It is wonderful the Gamecocks have helped flood victims. My heart goes out to you all. . But my nights have been the baseball playoff. Ready for the world Series. . I wish they would not spit so much. Yuck Went to west Virgina this weekend. My grandgrandson wanted to announce they are 8 weeks expecting. Made a major production. They drove 14 hours to tell us. in person. They have only been married 5 months. Jeane Cute theme I am sending out today. Kept wanting something special. I think I found it. Nikki Let you have tracking tonight. Have a great day girls Susan
