Helpful Hints and Recipes: HEADACHES

HEADACHES

Here's a great tip for all of us headache sufferers. Heat a few tbsp of salt in a dry frying pan until it's hot, but, not too hot to touch. Pour the salt into a thick, clean sock or a cloth bag. Then hold it to the back of your head (yes, even though you feel the throbbing pain in the front), and rub. The draw heat should draw the pain right out.

Looks like Hanna is not going to have an impact on our families in Summerville, thank God. We had thought tthere would be a mandatory evacuation. There was just the suggestion of evacuation so they all stayed. Now if Ike decides to veer in their direction looks like he is not playing and they will have to come here. We are prepared.

Today Marcy, Chris and I went to an annual crafts fair that is held outdoors downtown. Marcy's son, Tony, and his friend, Joey, went with us. Tony and Joey had come back from Summerville yesterday to help Bill with some stuff around the house. That is so sweet of them. We walked around and checked things out for awhile and then decided to go to lunch at a Cuban restaurant downtown. Our friend, Debbie, met us there and we had an enjoyable lunch outdoors. Afterwards we walked around a bit more to get Bill a funnel cake and went home. It was starting to get crowded and hot so it was time to go.

Sadly, my nephew, Slade, left to go to back to Phoenix to live. His mother is there and so is Andy so he will have family there. He will be staying with his mom until he gets on his feet. Marcy and I took him to go pick up his ticket and then brought him back to the house and we ate until it was time for him to depart. We took him back for his departure and waited until he pulled out. We both felt bad seeing him go and wish things could have worked out so he could stay. However, we think that being with his mom right now is a good thing right now. Anyhow, our prayers are with him in the move. No matter what happens amongst family, we should all remember that we are all a part of each other.

Now I am going to do some chacha=ing and then go to bed. Have a fantastic night!!!

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.
