On the 4th of July
Comments (8)I used to hate midribs, now I like a good contrasting white stripe like the one we see hear. the cat is a cuie, I love speckled cats like that. I've never liked any pale colored flowers not matter how like that magic of oz photo...so pale and not for me, that's okay though, I still grow an awful pale lavender pink huge very short Siloam Howard's Choice just because.... anyway hope it was a great 4th! :)...See MoreDollbaby's 4th of July & Buffet Vignette (pic heavy)
Comments (12)Thanks for your sweet comments, "Holiday-ers!" Can't believe a week in July is gone already ...summer is passing by so fast! I looked up info on the "Our Flag" print (not 'The Flag') ...it's a pretty old framed print (lithograph) & I appreciate it even more now w/Mom gone. yes...it was a real good weekend...work & play ...had some of kids/gr'kids home! And, who knows, luvs...we may meet up again one day! That is if Jane ever gets that bus tuned up & rollin'! I'll ever let Dollbaby ride along if Punk will bring TJ! LOL! Thanks, again, everyone...you're the best bunch of "Holiday-ers" I know! Jeanne S.

Comments (29)Hi guys! I'm here again. Already been to a Scottish Highlands celebration---VERY FUN! and an airshow---big stuff here---very talented pilots! "Big" earthquake wasn't anywhere around here, but there are frequent earthquakes in this area. The REAL threat is the mosquitoes! YIIIIII! I bought HUGE citronella candles, DEET spray, and citronella plants---and STILL they come! Combatting the bugs is a joke and constant hobby here. I was potting some plants for my porch yesterday and thought I was going CRAZY--getting bitten and buzzed out there! I will take my large candles with me next time! The greenhouses here are very casual and freely run. The plants are mondo sized and CHEAP! Nearly everything is under 10 bucks. It's downright dangerous for me! lol. QOD: the 4th: We're headed out to a small fishing village that has a gigantic celebration on the 4th. It's a 5 hour drive and then a ferry ride, but I'm told it's worth it, so off we go! Then coming back to a family casual dinner with all Americano food probably--kosher dogs, salad, and whatever else people bring. Tikanas~ I am STRICT about keeping a food diary and try to eat healthy choices; lots of fiber and veggies and VARIETY! I don't eat a huge amount of protein-usually only for dinner-and an occasional egg for brekky. I was weighing in every day at home and then once a week at Weight Watchers, but since I arrived here for the summer, I have not weighed. I probably will cave and buy a house scale and there's a WW place nearby, so I will start weighing in again. I use the scale and book from WW to keep myself accountable to someone! I have lost a large amount of weight since October- about 25 pounds or so. It is a SLOW weight loss (about 2 or 3 ponuds a month), but it's finally staying off and no big fluxuations any more, so I'm finding this to be the way for me to go. Well, we are having a guy DH met over for dinner tonight. He's Korean and homesick, so I am making Korean BBQ, rice, and cabage salad with sesame oil and chili oil. I better get hopping tho', cause I have to marinate the beef! I'll check in tomorrow! Magickitty~ Up, up, and away with the restart! Take Marci's hand and go for it! NHSuzanne~ So glad SP is holding her own. Good luck on the diagnosis. And don't sweat the deadline---it'll pass----lol. :) Cheers! Eat healthy choices! Can we have a junk-free Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday CHALLENGE to make up for the holiday weekend? Planning ahead---just in case! Join me?...See MoreKosher 4th of July Brunch - How did it go?
Comments (13)Hello my darlings! It is I, sitting in my fluffy pink bed with my little yippy dogs, eating non-kosher bon-bons. I have taken to my bed as the holiday-exhaustion has proven to be too much for me to handle. I think I might even have the vapors - whatever they are. Thank goodness Eduardo is due here any minute for my deep-tissue massage. You guuuyyys... asking about me, I'm touched - seriously. Anyway... the brunch went great, mostly because it ended up not being a brunch. Our friends had to go out of town unexpectedly and wouldn't be arriving back home until July 5, so we planned on getting together then for dinner instead. It turns out they are more kosher than I thought. Since they only have one dishwasher I assumed they were kind of lax about things, but it turns out that is the only thing they are lax about (in addition to eating off of my dishes). We ended up serving... Grilled tuna steaks with Bernaise sauce Roasted Asparagus Rice Pilaf with raisins and pine nuts Fresh Mozzerella and tomatoes Actually it worked out for the best because we had 45 people for a cookout and fireworks on the Fourth. I don't know what I was thinking, inviting this other couple to come for brunch earlier in the day! Thank you for asking about me! Oh! I think I hear Eduardo approaching! I need to hurry up and wipe the chocolate off my face... Nicole...See MoreElmer J Fudd
