A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2442

we were not laughing at you Sheri..honest...

I had a nice day--One of the ladies ar ceramics had us over for lunch. We had a chicken & rice casserole, salad, rolls & a dessert. She has a very nice house and she is "clean" if I were to magically have my whole house clean at one time, her house would still be cleaner. I was in awe...

Also it was on the low 60's today--and sunny. I do so wish it were going to be this way tomorrow. But I think it is supposed to storm the next 2 days & then rain on Friday...

Sounds like a very good day, Carol. I really don't want any visitors to my home that are that sparkly clean. Unless they come prepared to clean mine. Then they are welcome. I am sure I could get over my initial embarrassment.

hey we live in my house, Don't really care what folks have to say about it .. If they want to see a palace, go elsewhere.
We live an relax in ours..
I have neighbors with white carpeting, white couchs an it feels horrible there, I am scared of making it dirty.

I KNEW I was in the right place---My house is lived in too.
I always say that I will promise that you will not catch a dread diease while in my house, but I am far from the sparkly clean type.

Yes, I say my house is furnished in Grandma's attic style. Very little is new in here. But it all could use some sprucing up beginning with new paint, etc.
Sweet dreams all. I am edging towards my bed.

Sweet Dreams back at you. I am soon headed to dreamland myself.

Ok I think my time stamp is messed up again---right now at edit time it is 11:03 pm in central Illinois.

Only worked a couple hours today. Had a really hard time staying up, my body just wanted to sleep. Feeling stressed and weirded out by the med change but doing okay, hanging in there anyway. Of course, now I'm wide awake but will lay down soon to try to sleep.

Good morning. We have had rain and cold and more rain. I am not complaining. The rain is very welcome. I would just like a warmer rain next time, please.

Good Morning.

We have had rain here too. and storms. My DH said that we are 3 inches behind on rain & this should catch us up, so I guess it was raining really hard earlier this morning.
Right now it is quiet but we have more off in the distance. I am supposed to take my MIL to the Drs and the bank today..Those may have to be postponed. We shall see.

Good Morning,

We are to have rain and maybe snow today.. sure dreary enough looking outside... but we need the moisture too so own't complain to much... have to head to Carrie's later to get Nicoli and do some school work.. he went to doc yesterday, poor kid in the middle of a cycle of attack and doc just doesn't know what to do for him... they did give him another med to help control it... sure hope it works... he is exhausted from being in pain all the time... Derek is hopefully going to school today.. for at least 2 hours... his sleep schedule is all messed up but he says he wants to try today- he knows he has to go back... Joe is off so he will be taking him... that makes it easier on Carrie when she has to go to work in the mornings...

I have laundry to do today and want to make some pumpkin bread too.. have to work on my office still- it will never get done I think.. papers everywhere getting the bookwork done for our retirement stuff... and I have to do this months budget stuff too- oh well it will get done...

Have a good day all!

Hi everyone, hoping you are all well

And we have been hoping that you are well, Sunny. And just missing you.

Hi, Sunny! Good to see you. I did a workout dvd this morning. It was tough, couldn't even do it all but I'll get there. Glad to have the motivation to work out. Haven't had that in a long time. The new med regime must be working so far. I have a job interview to go to today. It's a group interview, not scheduled. They invite people to interview Wednesdays at 1pm. Lucky for me I happen to have the day off and can go. I have to drive to my old neighborhood which is a bit of a drive but hopefully it'll be worth it. It's grey here today but so far no rain. The rain is supposed to be back by tomorrow. We got spoiled with a couple of really nice days. Our rainy season is far from over.

YAY !!! Sunny is here to see us. !!

I don't know why I send Johnny to the grocery store and maybe it's payback because he doesn't want to shop but he always buys hard as a brick bread and rotten bananas. So I have 6 almost rotten bananas but I don't know how to make banana bread. Anyone have a recipe?

A quick favorite of mine is to use a cake mix, Sheri. Use whatever eggs and oil the mix may call for but not the liquid. Mash those 6 bananas and use those instead of the liquid measurement. Bake in a cake pan. Instant banana cake. It works with any cake flavor, yellow, spice, chocolate, etc.

I agree carol,
I also use that recipe to make banana gobs.
Drop by tablespoons an bake an fill with Crème filling or Icing of your choice.

Delicious

I am trying Honey whole wheat bread right not.

Sheri:
I could give you a banana bread recipe--easy one too. BUT Tina's sounds easy too.

Sweet dreams all. I am getting ready to haul myself off to bed. Looking forward to the warmer weather heading our way. It is supposed to be near 90* by Monday.

Good night TIna--& good for you. Warmer weather sounds great to me. We are not quite there yet.

I am up washing the last of my clothes as tomorrow it is supposed to storm very badly. Tonados are possible as well.

So when I sign off tonight I think I will turn off the computer and then quite possibly NOT turn it back on until the storms are gone tomorrow.

So, if I am not around just know that my storms are not gone yet. :) We have a full basement so I will be fine.

Sweet Dreams
