A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2495

Here we are. A new Coffee House all ready for Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas Season.

Good night, sleep tight---I am going to my bed now--sweet dreams !!

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. We have ours in October.

Today I am digging out the rest of the Christmas decor. I pick up GG tomorrow and will have my grandson as well. Apparently now Canada has started the Black Friday madness as well, My daughter and God daughter have plans to do all their Christmas shopping tomorrow.

Good morning. And happy Thanksgiving. We were invited to a dinner but Teddy has a croupy kind of cough. I think we will spare our friends and family. A quiet day at home is something to be thankful for.
It is downright cold out. But dry today.
How fun, Sunny. Two grands to play with. I hope you have a good time.

Good Morning & Happy Thanksgiving from Illinois.


Tina sorry that Teddy is not up to par. Yes, a nice quiet day sounds like the right call. I applaud you. Many parents would go ahead & go. You are a good & wise Mom

Sunny--- How fun !!! (playing with both Grands--NOT Black Friday shopping.)

I may buy a few things online--but I will not go out in that tomorrow.
I do not mind the crowds--but the driving is, in my opinion, not a safe condition.

I am off to make my pie & Jell-O salad. We are eating at my Sister's at 1:00 pm.

Good evening. We had a good and quiet day. Some of our favorite foods. It was good.
Now I'm ready to go to bed. Sweet dreams all.

Good evening from me as well.

We also had some wonderful food. It had been awhile since I had some good turkey, & all the trimmings.

As a side note, my Mom's dressing recipe is wonderful--but my sister's dressing today was wonderful..she adds 1 pkg. of Dry onion soups mix to everything else she puts in her dressing. It was simply wonderful.

Sweet dreams EVERYONE.

Good morning, it is good to hear that you all had a nice Thanksgiving....and I do hope that Teddy is feeling better today. Croupy coughs are just awful.

I am waiting for word on if I have to babysit today...and how many. I'm not sure if my God daughter was able to find a sitter as well. My daughter and she are doing their Christmas shopping today. I might have a house full by the end of the day

Good morning. I hope you're not overwhelmed, Sunny. Have lots of kid fun.
No shopping for me. I am going to work on this house if it kills me.

Good morning. I too am glad that everyone had a good Thanksgiving Day.

No shopping for me either...Rod was surprised..LOL

I have housework & sewing to do today.

Tina--good luck on the house.
Sunny--Have fun with the grands & if it so happens, with other short people.

Hello. it sure is quiet in here today. I guess people are either shopping or sleeping yesterday's food off, huh??

I am cleaning the house. First I ran some errands (nope no shopping). Then I finished my 19 month-old Grandson's baby blanket.
Now I am cleaning house & washing clothes.
It is a good thing my sister sent home left-overs for us to eat today. I don't think I have time to cook.

oh--and it is raining off & on..has been all day. Is supposed to do the same tomorrow.

Ginger, Darbi and I went shopping today. It wasn't bad at all. I ended up with a dress and a few other things, Darbi got jeans, and Ginger bought Colt some Christmas stuff. We ate lunch at Pizza Hut and didn't have to wait long at all. Glad everyone except us decided to stay home. :)

I think a LOT of people shopped online. If it had not of been raining so, I might have gone out just to look around. You never know what I might have found.

Glad you had an easy time of it. Sounds like you had fun, Sheri.

It sounds like a lovely time, Sheri.
I slept this afternoon. It was lovely too. I did sort and put away things this morning. It's nice to have some elbow room. I also cleaned some stuff. I hung some laundry out tonight after the rains stopped. I hope it dries before it freezes.

Good morning, I has a house full yesterday...so I never got a chance to pop in.

Today is a normal day here. By the way, it was so mild here yesterday that all our snow melted.

I KNOW I came in & said goodnight. and commented on what people had posted----

This morning we are going to help decorate church--then tonight we have a family party.

Good news is I get to see Valarie & her family.

Good morning. I kind of faded away myself last night. I slept good. This morning I have to go out and take care of some business and then I'll be home for the day. My oldest daughter is coming to take my boy out for some fun and lunch around noon. That makes for a good day.

Rod, my SIL, My Grandson, & my daughter are all sleeping.
I would LOVE to be sleeping, but we should al leave for my sister's in 15 minutes....I do not think that will happen.

I hope you get your meal tonight, Carol.
Another freeze tonight for us. I don't like it. I want it to stop already.

Sweet dreams all. I am heading off to bed now.

it was just a bit spritzy this afternoon & evening.

We had a nice party...that was nice. and yes, we got to the party on time.

G'nite everyone sweet dreams.

Good morning. It is cold but I believe the freezes are over for now. I am sending them off east. Get ready.
I am going to enjoy the sunrise with my second cup of coffee. I hope everyone has a good day.

Good evening. I'm taking a break, waiting on water to boil. I'm keeping dinner simple tonight with just mac n' cheese a peas and carrots. It's one of Teddy's favorite meals.

been a busy day. My Daughter got back home safely...so that is good.

The rest of my night is going to be quiet--I need the rest--then this next week I start again to try to catch up on stuff.

I need a good night's sleep. So I am going to bed soon. Sweet dreams all.

I should have gone to bed 45 minutes ago so I really need to go now--nite nite. everyone.

Good morning.

I was out yesterday with a bit of a tummy bug...thanks for GG sharing with me.

DH cut the outdoor tree yesterday and last night I put the lights on it, I really need to get new lights...hopefully on clearance after boxing day.

Today I have 4 pots of meat simmering away...meat pie making time. Although I think I'll prep the meat and refrigerate it until tomorrow to tackle the pie crust making.

That's a good plan, Sunny.
Good morning. Today is back to school after the week off. And house cleaning. So my day is set for me.
I hope everyone has a good day.

I took the trash to the dumpster, went to the bank, took Ted to school, stopped to shop, came home and put that away. Then I washed the kitchen trash and picked up Teddy's room to get ready to vacuum. I am taking a brief break. I need to get that vacuuming done before he gets home from school and rearranges all of his toys and dvd's around his room.
This is all stuff I am supposed to stay on top of. But I do not. I've got get better at setting goals for myself.

OK this is the 2nd time in a few weeks that I thought I had posted & nope my post is not here...oh well.

ornaments & advent calendar sent to my grandsons in Virginia..I hope it really gets there in 2 days like it was supposed to.

I hope it gets there, Carol.
Done with Ted's room. (Then I napped) Moving on to the kitchen floor after dinner is out of the way.

I don't know why I'm freezing but I am. It's not even cold outside.
I had a terrible time logging in again tonight. When I hit submit I may be gone again. I've tried every browser James mentioned. I think Windows 10 isn't quite ready for the market.
Sunny, I've never had a meat pie but I like meat and crust :)
Juniegirl, I don't trust the mail at all. Even paying extra doesn't guarantee delivery. Learned that the hard way.

Well well I think it posted.

I finished with my cleaning today. Teddy has been busy rearranging his stuff back on the floor of his room. But the floor is clean under there. So I'm not griping too much.
Sweet dreams all. Another day is coming up and there is plenty more house to clean.

It is SNOWING "in" the forum !!! YAY....now that kind of snow I like !

Glad that you got your cleaning done, Tina....and I am sure Ted is happy that you are done also, so he can fix his room up like he wants it to be.

Sheri: I paid for priority once again---IF it is not there by Wednesday, I will not be spending the extra money anymore.
Bad thing is, I was told that priority mail gets treated much better than standard mail shipments do. THAT bothers me.

I to am going to bed soon. My elbow is killing me--funny thing is it will stop hurting for a bit then begin hurting once again later. g'nite everyone.

The snow on the forum is lovely. Thank you.
Good morning. I'm ready for a new day. I'll get ready for school and stop to shop. Then home to clean again. It's coming along here. Getting ready for Christmas.

Good afternoon.

The snow in here looks pretty....crazy thing is our snow keeps melting. December 1st and it's bare ground out there.

I see everyone is busy with the holidays upon us. I just finished my meat pies. I made 17, large and small. Another big thing crossed off my list.

Anyone want to come mop for me?

I adore meat pies. I wish I could make them like I like them. I went all over New Zealand eating meat pies and never got tired of them. You could get delicious ones even from the stores Some day I'm going to try again.
Not today, however. I in the midst of cleaning.

Good evening, all.

Sunny I'll come & mop for you, IF you let me go to bed afterward and then get up when I am good & ready...Deal ??

I am one tired little lady.

Sweet dreams, Carol. I am heading to bed myself.

G'nite Tina
