Thinking Out Loud.....

Thanks for your kind words, cmb, Chris, & Granny.   (Granny, now you know why I'm always in NJ)
Oh Chris, that's the worst....I usually sip Coke when I am not sure about stomach...at least it tastes good either way  ... Do you ever feel like you are catching stuff from the sick people who come in for their remedies?  I do not like the pharmacy line much.
Feel better...drinking fluids is important, as you know.  I'm not sure I followed it all, but it sounds like a birthday plan will arise! How is your mother doing?

TOL....last night after I posted I saw a bug on my screen; then found one in my hair...I turned around and in my reading lamp right behind my head was a swarm of winged ants. And they covered my screen door and outside light.  I was horrified.  I had to spray the sofa and vacuum them up today (some still moving-UGH)...tonight I won't even go in that room.  They go for the lights.  They are pavement ants and are excavating my patio...I may need an exterminator. 

I loved the long week end....hope y'all had a good one.
Back to work tomorrow (2 hours) and back to the gym (1 hour I hope).
Nite,

Joan

Scotti  What is a Christmas dumpling?

Joan  I have an internal magnet that pulls me to my grandkids too.  Can't get enough their sweet hugs.

Chris  Hope you are feeling better.

I made 5 pints of peach jam yesterday and I have more peaches, not ripe, to make more later in the week.  My daughters use a lot of jam for PBJs, and I like to give some away as gifts.  But it's a hot job.

Veggy take off the CAG me shoes and get the runners on...lol



Jan...it's called a "Clootie Dumpling"....Clootie meaning a little cloth ...it's boiled in the cloth with suet, currents, raisins, mixed spices, molasses and brandy, of course...lol

It is one of the most traditional desserts served at Christmas and New Year....as a kid, my father would put in a "lucky coin" and it was always my goal to find it!!!!!! Needless to say, the rest of the family did not get to enjoy much of it...ha ha ha .

Veggy....too funny...ha ha ha ..but you know the princess, she has connections..😱

HI everyone

Hello

Mr & Mrs Newlyweds

June 29 2013

For those who didn't see the pictures on FB

Thanks Deb....♥

Joan....... Caroline is beautiful....♥

Where is Linda?    

Joan - do you only have one mammo per year?

Glad the ants are gone, Joan.

I am better, thanks.  Now waiting to see if I get my monthly migraine...  I've been lucky so far(sort of) I got them on my days off - and last time the medicine actually worked so I didn't have to suffer all day.  Hoping for that again this time. And discovered that milk stops the stomach pain (from the aspirin component?) so now all I have to do is go find some milk to drink if I have to take something.  Nothing is easy...

2nd exam for DD today.  Hope she does better on this one than last one...  She needs at least a C in this class in order for her to be able to take 1/2 her classes next semester... 

(((((TOL)))))

Hi Linda, are you recovered from your "vacation"?
It is a beautiful day...thanks for your comment on my photos. 
DD has decided that she likes Cohasset the best...only has to commute to Quincy. She will work for Atlantic Broadband starting July 26.  Now she has the dilemma of moving quickly to put older child in kindergarten; or to commute from NJ and wait until they sell the house and DH finds a job so they can buy instead of rent - then move daughter in middle of year.  I say wait...the child will survive and less trauma for everyone.

Chris, so glad you are on the mend!  I hope the nasty migraines stay away.

Linda.....I bet you do....

Diane I missed you 2 days in a row sorry  I'm home now

(((TOL)))
