HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUE!!!

Today is our oldest daughter's, Sue, birthday. She came by yesterday with Tamisha, Misty and little Quentin. They had come to visit my mom who is now bedridden. I told them not to come close to me because of my cold. Especially Misty because she is about to give birth to our 2nd great-grandchild at any time. She really doesn't need to have a cold now. Anyhow, they stayed awhile and then went to see my mom before going back home.

I made cornbread from a recipe that I got from, yep, the diabetic cookbook. It was really easy and quick to make. I preheated the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl I mixed well a box of corn muffin mix, 8 oz. of creamed corn and an egg. I put it in a greased pan and baked it for 20 - 25 minutes. It came out moist and very good. I think that's how I will make my cornbread from now on. It was so easy. Bill and Marcy liked it, too.

I still haven't ventured outside but hope to soon. I am hoping this cold lets up soon. It's staying longer than I thought it would. Plus I am getting tired of this bed. I have been getting up and doing little chores, though, like washing and cooking a little. Now I am going to get settled and get ready to watch Big Brother 9. I don't know why????

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.
