A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2583...

I agree about the aluminum trees, but at one time they were all the rage...you were lucky to have one..many, including us, could not afford one.

Ladies, a good friend of my sister's saved toilet paper rolls and sold them on Amazon...I am guessing to teachers....

Tina, at some point my DD' s class in grade school cut up cardboard egg cartons and made bells out of each egg holder to use as Christmas gifts. I still have one..it is in my tree as I type.

Yes, finding homes for egg cartons is easy.
I think the rains are gone for now. Tomorrow is going to be a day of phone calls. I am going to say good night to all. Sweet dreams.

Sweet Dreams, Tina.

If it does not rain, I will go grocery shopping. If it rains, I will make soup and wrap gifts. Searched a bit more today for my garland..I have had no luck.

Goodnight to everyone. Sleep well.

Yes Bestofour, I am steadily saving paper rolls and such for GG's STEM classes.....they were begging for the long wrapping paper ones this month.

The weather is so strange, it is snowing at the moment and it is supposed to change to a heavy rain storm this evening. There is going to be trouble for those who didn't shovel their roofs again.

Good morning.

I wish I lived closer, Sunny. I have several wrapping paper rolls. Apparently I just had bits on some of my wrapping g paper rolls.

Windy outside.. I often think that I should be living in say Florida..or some other state that is warmer natured.

Bits of wrapping paper are good for bitty packages.
Good morning. Off to make my phone calls.

I hope those calls are good ones Tina.

Junie, I get family to save the wrapping rolls so we had lots.

I mopped myself into a corner for a few minutes. I have to leave in an hour to pick up GG at basketball....some days there is just not enough time to get things done.

Morning ,

You all have been so busy, quiet here... been raining on and off for a couple days... we did decorate the house .. took me 2 days to get it all done.... but it looks nice... been fighting a plugged ear from my allergies... it's a pain I!

We get off fairly easy mostly gift cards for all the kidlets… can mail them easier... share a bank acct with Carrie so I just put hers in there... way easier than trying to figure out what who needs and wants from here.... LOL!

I too lost a power cord for a while for my little decorative ceramic tree... wasn't in the box with the tree... after I spent 20 minutes looking thru all the big containers for it... hubby says oh yes I put all the cords together in one box.. in the garage.... WHY? not labeled or anything either....

I have ornaments for my childhood too and all my kids and some of the grands made stuff for us too... we put it all on the tree or the shelves.. that's why it takes days to decorate and then to take down later...LOL!

Well off to see if hubby saved his Christmas son on his webpage …. don't know why he won't get a new ipad for himself to use... guess he would rather I did it for him....LOL!

Have a good week ladies and gents...off to make lunch and some tea... coffee is at breakfast time only for me . tea rest of day....
Nana

Hi Nana.

The freezing rain has started here. Yuck.

Stay safe, Sunny. And warm.

Oh my, freezing rain ☔. ! How I hate that. As Tina said stay safe and warm, Sunny.

Hi, Nana..good to see you.

Rod is feeling better today..still has his cold but I think he is on the up side of it.

Hear ye, Hear ye...Sheri...my garland made it home from the party. Has any of your renagades come home yet ??..BTW: my garland was not in the small gray Rubbermaid container I had it in...it was and is in one of those clear shoe storage boxes.....

So at least I have it now....

Yay! I'm glad you found your garland.

Thanks so much Tina ! I am happy as well.

I will say goodnight now..sweet dreams.

Hi all, thanks, I am safe and warm....the freezing rain has turned to just rain and it is so mild outside. The down side is that tonight it will all freeze and we will need skates to travel outdoors.

GB's Preschool concert is at lunch time...I am hoping the roads stay melted out for the afternoon so I can go.

Good morning !...Happy Tuesday.

Good luck with traveling to GB's concert today, Sunny.

Have fun, Sunny. Today I bank and shop.
Everyone have a good day.

We made it there and back...but I had to use 4 wheel drive with studded tires to do so. Jeepers, the roads were a mess.

I am glad that you made it safely, Sunny.

Yes, thankfully you are all home safe. And thank goodness for the 4 wheel drive and studded tires.

I will say goodnight now. Nite-nite.

Sweet dreams all.

HI all....today I tackle laundry and baking.

What are you baking,Sunny?
Good morning. I will get something done today.

Just bread and buns Tina.

Bread and buns sound good, Sunny.

Hello

Ah yes, Bread and buns sound wonderful ! We used to bake bread together as something to do on a Sunday....Now that he is retired, that has stopped...you would think it would increase, right ?

10:17 pm
I am headed downstairs to wrap a few gifts. I will then watch my soap and afterwards go to sleep.

Sweet Dreams!

Sweet dreams all.

Goodnight, Tina

I am off to go shopping and get a tooth fixed at the dentist(filling cracked). DH decided he needs a new pr of Winter boots so that will be his Christmas gift so that means I get to pick out something for myself under the tree. I think a knitted shirt and a new hat is on the list.

Good morning!

Sorry for the cracked filling. Glad you get to pick out a few new gifts. Have fun, be safe.

Nana, I can’t send gift cards through the mail around here even if I take it to the post office because they get stolen.

Freezing rain scares me. Breaks tree branches and the southern people try too but can’t drive in it. Just awful when it freezes in my area.

Sunny you’re freezer and cabinets must be full because you’re baking and cooking all the time. If I were your neighbor I’d visit 3 times a day-breakfast lunch and dinner.

I agree with you, Sheri. I think we would all find ourselves at Sunny's doorstep if we lived close to her.

I need a nap...but the girls are here...I am thinking coffee is in order.

Come on over....I'll cook for all of you.

I am back from the dentist, errands and shopping. I even picked up the turkey today....my plans are not to have to go to town until after Christmas.

Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Coffee is on, any fun plans for anyone this weekend?

I did not come back in last night, sorry. The concert was cute...Then we had the kids over...That was nice as well.
Rod just pointed out that Christmas is closer than I had realized. Carol needs to get busy.

Good morning. Coffee is good.

Good morning. Happy Friday the Thirteenth. I like it.

It rained all last night and all day while I drove 3-1/2 hours back from Gingers. Hate driving in the rain. My rain gauge has 2 inches in it.


Thankfully it’s supposed to be sunny tomorrow.

I'm glad you made it home safely, Sheri.
Sweet dreams all.

I too hate to drive in the rain...I am extra happy that you are home safe, Sheri. Yay for the sun !

Goodnight Tina, sleep well !

I am headed to sleep myself. Good night 🌙.
