Re: 28 SUNDAY 28 DEC 2025 ~ SAT JAN 3 2026
Good day all!
Devonne, I love corn bread and buttermilk!! Yummy. We do the sauerkraut and and not greens and black eyed peas. I do like black eyed peas, though. Not the collards. Someone told me I just did not have a batch that was prepared "right". As a "Northerner" I don't know who to do that. 
I have our sauerkraut in the oven right now. Dean prefers hotdogs, so I put them into the sauerkraut later, after the pork is done.
I still have my table full of snowmen up and am thinking of keeping them for a while. They make me happy as most of them were gifts from Kelli or from students at school. Everything else we took down and put away yesterday.
We had a nice time last night. We ate, played games and laughed, which is a wonderful thing. Aaron could not win at anything last night and he usually does, so we all had a god laugh at that. We played a dice game that Dean received for Christmas called "Farkle". If you do not get the correct points, you do not get any points and are "Farkled!" Aaron was Farkled a lot.
It was a slow ride home for Aaron last night as the roads were snowy and very icy. It usually takes him 20 minutes and it took him 35. Today the roads are clear and it is sunny and bright, but cold.
I hate fireworks! I was expecting them last night, but it was very cold and snowing, so perhaps that deferred them. We did hear g** shots, though. People are stupid to shoot guns in neighborhoods when the bullets have to land somewhere.

Re: 28 SUNDAY 28 DEC 2025 ~ SAT JAN 3 2026
MIXED METAPHORS.......
1. I WAS SO SURPRISED YOU COULD HAVE KNOCKED ME OVER WITH A FENDER.
2.SHE WAS A DIVA OF IMMENSE TALENT THAT, AFTER HEARING HER PERFORM, THERE WAS SELDOM A DRY SEAT IN THE HOUSE.
SUNNY AND COLD TODAY. WE GOT ABOUT 2" OF SNOW YESTERDAY.
I BAKED A CHICKEN BREAST YESTERDAY AND HAD IT WITH MASHED FOR A MEAL. THE REST I AM SAVING TO MAKE MY CHICKEN RICE SOUP TONITE FOR THE WEEKEND. I ALSO HAVE SOME PORK CHOPS DEFROSTED. I WILL NOT STARVE.
LAST NITE I WATCHED SEVERAL MOVIES THAT WERE BEING SHOWN WITH ROY ROGERS AND HIS HORSE TRIGGER. I WAS A BIG FAN AS A KID, LOVING THAT HORSE. HE MADE ME A HORSE-LOVER SO THAT I GOT MY OWN IN THE 70S. LOVE HORSES AND DOGS, ESPECIALLY GERMAN SHEPHERDS. THEN THERE WERE THE THIN MAN MOVIES WHICH I TOTALLY ENJOYED ONCE AGAIN. THE YEAR STARTED NICELY FOR ME.
THIS MORNING I STAYED BUSY. TOOK DOWN MY 2 SMALL XMAS TREES, AND THE LIGHTS AND PACKED ALL THE DECOR AWAY INTO BOXES. THE NEXT STEP WILL BE MAKING ROOM IN THE BACK CORNER OF MY WALK-IN CLOSET FOR THE STUFF. THEN ON TOP OF THOSE I THINK I WILL STORE MY SEVERL PACKAGES OF BATTING THAT I HAVE.
I DO NOT MAKE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS SINCE I NEVER KEPT THEM FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE WEEKS BACK IN THE DAY. NOWADAYS I JUST MAKE A PLAN AND TRY TO STICK TO IT FOR AWHILE. MY PLAN THESE DAYS IS TO EAT SMALLER PORTIONS AND LESS SNACKING SO I CAN LOSE A FEW MORE POUNDS. I HAVE A DR'S APPT FOR CHECK-UP THIS MONTH AND I AM SURE HE WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT THE 25 LBS I LOST SINCE LAST SEEING HIM 6 MONTHS AGO. I NEED TO LOSE MORE. WITH THE XMAS GOODIES ALL GONE NOW I HOPE TO MANAGE SOME MORE LOSS BEFORE I SEE HIM MID-MONTH.
TODAY I HAVE TO DO MY LAPS, AND I WANT TO READ SOME AND PLAY SOLITAIRE TO KEEP MY BRAIN ACTIVE. I WATCH SOME GAME SHOWS WITH MULTIPLE CHOICE SO I CAN TEST MY BRAIN. MY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE GAMES IS POPCULTURE. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE NEW SINGERS, ACTORS, BANDS, DANCE CRAZES. I NEVER EVEN SAW BRITNEY SPEARS UNTIL A SHORT VIEW DURING A COMMERCIAL LAST MONTH. I AM BEHIND THE TIMES.
MY WALL CALENDAR IS ALL SET WITH IMPORTANT BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES AND SUCH FOR THIS YEAR. I HOPE I DO NOT GET ANYONE'S SPECIAL DATE WRONG THIS TIME AROUND. I WILL DO MY BEST.
MY THOUGHTS FOR THIS YEAR:
1. CONTINUE LOSING SLOWLY THOSE EXTRA POUNDS..
2. DO A BIT MORE SEWING. I HAVE SOME WIPS SITTING AROUND THAT NEED FINISHING AND LOTS OF SKETCHES I WANT TO TRY.
3. CONTINUE TO STAY SOCIAL WITH THE GROUP IN MY BUILDING.
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY GOOD YEAR. STAY WARM. HUGS, QB S

Good Morning to everyone!! It is sort of dark outside today. Not a leaf is stirring. So guess I'll not plan a thing for today, since it's dark and not a leaf is stirring. Have a wonderful day, everyone!! Will check in tomorrow, BJ.

Got the dishwasher loaded. Was surprised I had a full load. Somewhat disappointed in this LG dishwasher. It's only 3 years old and it doesn't dry the dishes. There's always moisture on the door when the load is done. I need to call them.
I put together a ladder bookcase yesterday. It's small and I really glad it. I really needed the storage space for books.
Cheryl, I know you worry until Aaron gets home. Those slick roads can be so dangerous. I just added more buttermilk to my next grocery delivery, lol. I bought some new cornbread mix at Walmart that is the best cornbread I have ever had. It's called Simply Homemade. Think it's made by Fleischman. You need to try it. Instead of adding regular milk, I added buttermilk. It's so good and it makes a big pan. I also prefer hot dogs in my sauerkraut.

Devonne, my dishwasher does the same thing! My dishes never are dry, even with the dry options selected. This thing is only a year old and it is a Whirlpool. We usually hand wash because by the time we go through a cycle and let it "dry", we have to dry those darn dishes. So, we usually (Dean and I) wash everyday after supper. I do try to run the dishwasher every couple of weeks to keep the lines open. We have well water and the lines will get blackish water if not used. Corn bread is so easy to do, I usually just whip up a batch from scratch, but I will look into that brand.
All quiet today. Dean took Gabriel down to Columbus for a hockey game with Anthony and Andrew. It is part of Gabriel's Christmas from Andrew. Aaron was supposed to take him, but he could not get off work, so Dean is going. Dean cannot stand hockey, but he is going anyway cause the grandkids want
to go!!

There is a buttermilk powder on Amazon for those who use it rarely, like me.
We had our first appointment with our new physician, and we both like her. She’s pretty chill, and says every 6 months is fine.
Finishing up the last of the chicken enchiladas for dinner, so I have to figure out what to make for tomorrow.
I spent a good part of the morning just putting things into the rooms they belong in. Now you can actually sit on the loveseat!
Stay warm!
