BUSY, BUSY DAY

This morning I decided to do my grocery shopping since it is senior citizen day at the grocery stores. I've decided to have lamb and ham for the dinner as the meats. Yummy!! Marcy went with me and we went to one grocery store and WalMart. After we took our goodies home we went to visit our mother. Today she was a little bit more alert and even got the words out to say "I love you" to us when we told her that we loved her. She even smiled a little here and there. When we were leaving Marcy was waving to her and you could see her arm move under the blanket like she was trying to wave goodbye back. Seeing her decline like this is so sad. She was only alert a fraction of the time that we were there, but, that little bit meant a lot to us. After we left there we went to another store to do a little bit more shopping. We made it home just as the rains started to pour. I bought a rotisserie chicken and made baked potatoes to go with it. That was dinner and all I was in shape to fix. Bill went to a Knight's meeting and I did some cleaning. Now I am going to go get the trash together because tomorrow is pickup day. Have a good night!!

Chris is home and we talked this morning. We did our usual laughing and talking like teenagers and loving it. I am so glad that she is back home.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
