Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Another coolish day, with increasing chances of rain as the day progresses.
There were some sprinkles on my way to and from Kroger this morning, but I didn't get significantly wet.
Nothing on the agenda other than possibly folding clothes. And I do need to get some chuck steak into a slow cooker with some carrots, onion, and a potato or two.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Today is J's birthday, so it will be J's choice for dinner. I suspect it will be J's usual choice...FOOD.
I did get the laundry put away yesterday.

Happy Birthday to J!! Hope he has a happy one, and that he gets his food wishes of 'food'. J, you can do better than that!! LOL!
Today at this point looks 'dreary' just not very motivating either.
I've spent time today reading emails and fb posts. Got all frustrated with a bunch of picky, and judgmental ole biddies on one of my food groups that I follow. Somebody posted that her son had been making pizza dough with self rising flour and Greek yogurt, so she's just last night made soy yogurt in her IP and thought she'd try making pizza dough. OMG...the screams over Greek Yogurt..not vegan, not part of a whole food diet, and on and on. Which only means nobody READ what the lady said. Then they all hopped all over another post for something equally as stupid. Will stop reading that group for awhile. AND then Ted started picking on me because I stated something about vegan on the ingredient list of Amy's frozen entree's.... This day is going to include a long nap, and a sufficient time to get over all of them!!! (or nasty thought...maybe I'm the one who's off kilter this morning??) Naw, couldn't be!!! LOL!
I hope you have a good day, and Jason has a great birthday. Sending hugs to you both.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's a bit chilly out there, but I can hear the lawn crew, so we will have to set a reminder to send a check. I don't have much on the agenda today.

Good Morning Ed,
Bright, big shiny, thingy up in the sky! Could it be? The Sun, maybe??? and its forecasted to be here for several days!!! Happiness!!! Almost, maybe more happiness than a Crispy Cream Donut!! That was an 'ourstandingly' mouth watering, delicious video!!
I'm heading out to the stores. Kroger for sparkling water, and then on to Publix for a few things that I can't find at Kroger...like Follow Your Heart Parm. cheese, and a package of Tim Tams, etc. (hope to find a package of Pretzel Sausage Rolls. They are just the right size when filled to near overflowing with veggies like onion, radish, lettuce, bell peppers, cuke slices and if I'm really not starving, some grated carrots!!
Ok, now I'm seriously hungry!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
It should be a pleasant, sunny day here in Peachtree Corners. I have nothing on the definite agenda except maybe a nap. Perhaps I can catch up on some things I have been watching on Disney Plus and Netflix.

Well, after forgetting to buy banana's the last 2 stores I shopped at, today, after the gym I went next door and bought banana's at the market! Breakfast tomorrow will be delicious! hahah!
Odds and ends today...and stuff gathered for trash pick up tomorrow morning. Weekly chat with Jack..just you know, stuff. Enjoyed the sunny, and warm afternoon!
I have a couple vid's to watch.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It looks like it will be another splendid day in Peachtree Corners. I may head out to Kroger but am really hoping to delay that for another day or two. Early Sunday morning would be a great time to go.
Dinner last night was simple. Spanish rice with chili beans, shredded cheese on top of each serving and J had salsa as well. I opened a bottle of sangria and we shared that as well.
Nothing definite on the agenda today.

Good Morning Ed,
The orchid that started the 'where did it come from' story line on fb this morning is beautiful. Did they ever decide who started it? LOL!!
To set my record straight...I do not like our president. He's a lousy leader, role model, liar, etc. BUT I do not wish him a bad outcome from having tested positive for covid either. There is a ton of true 'shitake' out there this morning on fb. I was truly shocked by some of the political leaders said. . I may mull over the role of Karma today though.
Soon, off to the gym, its the beginning of a new month, and so my watch goals are looming large right now. The easiest way to reach my daily 'move' goal (30 min exercise) is at the gym. Then, since I am cold, and too cheap to turn on the furnace, I may make a WalMart run looking for some warm sweatshirts and maybe a pair of sweatpants. And I really do need to check into a flu shot. So there's that....if I sit here thinking of what I may/should need to do today it could terrorize me, forcing me to take a long afternoon nap!!!
(see how that works?)
Loved the Organic mice and Hole Foods. Very enlightened cats!
Now, I need to get on that mental list before nap time arrives and I'm left lacking......

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It should be another glorious fall day here in Peachtree Corners, with a high of only 71 degrees. I may do some laundry. I think I will hold off until tomorrow to finish the shopping I did end up starting yesterday. I need a few things that I can't get at Kroger, so need to make a PetSmart, Lidl, and Ingles run all in one, and I think Sunday Morning might be the perfect time to make that run. I can let it be the weekend exercise for J's car.

Good Morning Ed,
What a morning...nothing wrong, just s l o w movin'. Add Needy dog, Needy cat to the mix. I've reheated the same cup of coffee 4 times.... yep, that's my morning. I do have clothes started in the washer, and I managed to get my morning oatmeal.
I am cold. ITs cold outside, so my brain is telling me its cold in here too. In all fairness my nose is cold, as are my hands...I have on sweat pants, t-shirt, fleece shirt tail nightie, and a crew necked sweatshirt. Oh, and my fleece/fake fur lined house shoes. Now, how the heck can I possibly be cold????? I dunno, but I am. I even ran the oven for about 20 minutes when I first got up. This is going to be one very long cold winter. And I say that every fall, and yet I survive, don't freeze to death, stay healthy, etc...and am hoping to do the same this year.
Finally got in touch with little doc, and Monday morning at 10:30 I am to be in their parking lot, call or text (text doesn't get it, tried that last time), so call them, and they will come to my car and give me my flu injection!! How cool is that? Only a week late, but ....
Ok, I HAVE to get up and do something....

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's a bit chilly out there now, with an expected high of 74, and should be a lovely day. I need to get to PetSmart, Lidl, Ingles, and maybe another Kroger store a bit farther away, to exercise J's car. With all that I will feel like I need to stay home for at least the next week.
Might get around to starting laundry today.

Good Morning Ed!
Starting this day with my part of the weekly cleaning, and I've had breakfast. Next up is a trip to Whole Foods. Teds going, I'm just tagging along. I'll pick up some veg. sushi? (depending on how cold I feel when I get to the sushi area), and I'm going to look at their soups. It is soup weather for sure in the mornings. I'll let you know later how much my 'browsing' costs me when I get home!! LOL!
Laundry is caught up for the moment, and all is folded or hung and put away!! Great way to start my week.
Tomorrow I get shot. Ummm, Tomorrow I get injected...er, I'm going to Little Doc's parking lot, calling the number at the door, get back in my car, and they will come out to me with the flu vaccine. How neat is that. I won't have any little Covid bugs trying to come home with me!
Going to check to see what Emmy did. She's got that cat ate the mouse grin on her face!!!

Well, I got all the shopping done except PetSmart, which can actually wait a couple more days, so it's all good. J's car has had her exercise for the weekend, and so have I now, what with walking through three grocery stores this morning and lugging the groceries in.
I found some more White Castle frozen veggie burgers that are great for a quick lunch for J, and got the remaining cold cereals we needed, that aren't available at Kroger any more. Also chips and snacks at Lidl, and one small pack of soft molasses cookies at Ingles, almost like Grandma S. made, but not quite. I saw them and got nostalgic.
One cookie at a time shouldn't do too much damage.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! And it's going to be another glorious fall day in Peachtree Corners, Georgia.
I still need to get out to PetSmart today or tomorrow, as there are only two days left of wet food for the younger girls. There is a bit more for Lilo and Orion, the old queen and the young prince. It's almost never exact on how much is left since we have 4 cats on 3 different types of cat food, due to special dietary needs.
And, of course, while I am out I need to pick up some mini-wheats as J finished that cereal off last night as a midnight snack. Fortunately, Publix is practically in the same parking lot, as well as Target, I may pop into Target to see if they have a store brand of mini-wheats to try. I don't actually go in there much, and as it is more department store than grocery, it may not be as peopley.

I saw these at Lidl this morning and was immediately flooded with good memories of days of yore. I had to buy a couple, so J and I could have a treat that is a blast from the past.
Grandma S made the best popcorn balls ever, and we often had those as a treat at her house.
And when we lived on Holt Road, in Paducah, we usually went down to the end of our segment of road, as one of our first stops on Halloween.
There was a sweet lady who lived there and she always made popcorn balls for Halloween. They usually didn't last long. I seem to remember that we generally ate them up right away.
There were a lot of home made treats mixed in with the commercial candy. I remember cupcakes, brownies, candied apples, caramel apples, etc. too!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It should be pleasant all day, with sunny skies for the morning and partly cloudy for the afternoon.
I don't need to go anywhere today, though the grocery list is already beginning to accumulate. Funny how it does that.
The popcorn balls were good, but no comparison to Grandma's popcorn balls. But at $0.49 per popcorn ball we couldn't complain.
Dinner last night was roasted chicken, cornbread dressing, gravy, and lightly buttered green peas. And tonight will be more of the same. I lucked out at Lidl yesterday, and besides the popcorn balls, which I hadn't seen in years, I got some bone in, skin on, chicken thighs at 30% off as the sell by date was Oct. 6 and I was shopping on Oct. 5. When I separated the pack into smaller portions for freezing, I kept two out to make a couple of meals from. I made some Asian noodles with egg for J.
I guess since I had a Thanksgiving like dinner and a Halloween like dessert, I am well into the end of year holidays. LOL.
Nothing definite on the agenda today other than eating that other plate of leftover dinner, and the rest of the Chardonnay with it.

Good Morning Ed,
I'm about to head out the door and plant a few peas, not to harvest exactly, but to have some pea sprouts for salads, etc. And I have a packet of parsley...will sprinkle about half of that pack today, wait for 2-3 weeks, and then if nothing has appeared that looks like parsley, I'll toss out the other half. I have about 50% success with parsley. Some years, some not years! One year I had glowing success, and it re-seeded itself for the following 2 or 3 years!! Not always where I might have liked it, but for those years I had abundant parsley. Then it just didn't come back...shrug, who knows???
I did my second Tai Chi class online this morning. It was a bit comical...this one was not a beginner class, but an 'intermediate' class, and I was no where near ready for this!!! Liked the instructor, etc...but I still need to learn the names and moves for about half dozen 'moves'. Some I remember, but most not. In all fairness it was last week when I did the first class.
When you finish with the house chores you can come over....I have a 'thing or two' that you could do!!! LOL!!
Popped Corn Balls. I've tried making them several times...long ago when the boys were younger. They were ok...sticky...but nothing that I would say was 'memorable'.!! Kinda like making or trying to make my great aunt's Divinity. I tried for years to make that candy...it was frustrating. Some years we ate it with a spoon from the refrigerator, etc. And I swore that if I ever got it right, I'd never make it again, cuz Yep, I can make divinity! Well, one year everything was just perfect for making divinity, and I turned out an Aunt Mary quality batch of divinity....and I've never even entertained the idea of making it again!!! LOL!!
Ok, time to head for the garden...hope your cleaning and household chores are all done!

Good morning Ed
I stayed up last night and watched the VP debate. Certainly better than the first presidential ?debate?. But boy am I tired today. I HAVE to get myself together and head out to Kroger? or Publix? or if I get a move on maybe both. I have scheduled a Yoga class..should be interesting. If you haven't tried Silver Sneakers, (assuming you are a member), they really do have a wide variety of live classes as well as recorded workouts/exercises.
I tried to polish off the mushroom ragu from Tues, last night, but its so rich, I failed. Guess what's for lunch? LOL! The ragu is so tasty...and rich!
I need to get dressed, and let this white dogger out, she keeps coming back, doesn't pester, just lets her presence known by staring at me!! She's so funny! I'm sure while she's out, she'll squat, but I know her devious little self...what she REALLY wants is her morning snack! LOL.
Later...
Oh, watched the plantain video...hmmmm! I will have to give that lasagna a try. Looks like about 3-4 meals worth. I can so do that!0 -

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! It's another cool day here in Peachtree Corners, with increasing rain chance as the day progresses. My absentee ballot has been accepted! My vote has been counted. I may try to get to a grocery this morning, and take J's car for its weekend run, as it's likely to be rainy the rest of the weekend.

Hey Ed!
Wow, you've surely given me lots to watch/read! Vegan T'Day. Won't happen before lunch. Its almost time for my yoga class. Yoga and Tai Chi I expected to be 'blow off' classes, mostly just to help with my balance. HA! Was I wrong. Those nice slooow flowing classes a.) boost my heart rate into 'exercise mode' so say the Apple Watch, and b.) both have confusing names, etc, but each leave me mildly or pleasantly sore muscle wise! That was a shock!
I decided Ted's worked hard enough this week, inside and out that I'd do his and my 'Saturday' cleaning chores. All I have left is vacuum the living room and dining room. He will do his part of the house, just as I take care of the cleaning of my bedroom.
So, I need to get a move on.
Hope your day is a good one...I have clothes in the dryer, and a second load in the washer just waiting. And a 3rd load to be done? maybe today. maybe tomorrow.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous soggy Sunday! It's looking like another gray, overcast, drippy day today. Fortunately I don't have to go anywhere, as I already exercised J's car and mine seems to usually get enough with grocery runs.
I WILL do laundry today. I may not finish laundry today, but I WILL get it going.

Good Drippy Morning Ed!
It is just that until later afternoon. Last nights storms brought down a few leaves, twigs and some biggish dead limbs that had been hanging out for quite some time in the maple tree, and there was a dead, and broken tree in no mans land/trees behind the house that had snapped but not quite thru and the top finally came down. Happy to say no damage either place!
Laundry, round two for me today. Yesterday's is hung/folded and put away. Also need to cook a batch of rice, and do the prep work for a great Asian stir fry later today. Featuring snap pea pods, shiitaki mushrooms, etc. I also picked up a package of tofu stuffed Chinese Dumplings and that will need a sauce, etc. Stir fries cook up really quickly, but needs a good bit of prep work.
I'm sure you saw Mike's pict. of the old red hen and her 'flock' of kittens. That made me laugh this morning! Sending it on to my little brother in MO. He'll get a chuckle out of it for sure. He has hens, and kittens...but I don't think any of his 'broody' hens has ever sat on a litter of kittens!!!
Ok, get to your laundry...and I'll do the same.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Another cool one here, and it looks like partly sunny with minimal chance of rain. I need to fold laundry and put it away. Sound familiar? I did already put away the clean dishes from the dishwasher, so I could put my breakfast dishes in.
At least food is already cooked. Plenty of leftovers to eat today.
