    Beth ~ I agree with you! I looked up seeking an IEP for autistic children in GA and it appears that it can be done. I would think that all of the previous documentation would be acceptable enough. My grandson has an IEP due to his ADD and inability to copy from a board onto his paper (don't know the name of that problem).

    Karen- Does he attend a Mental Health Mental Retardation center? If so can the local MHMR help?or his Doctors y private Counselors? I’d ask sometimes they know a short cut! Had to use their help a few times for Mom even.

    A day with nothing scheduled that I have to go out for. Trying to finish up Christmas lists. Have Christmas letter written. Need to copy and send out. Will finish decorations in house. Theme for choir party this year is Austrian so I am going to try making Austrian chocolate balls.

    Kim - gorgeous tree skirt.

    Katla - Hope your trip to Powell's is wonderful.

    Karen - sounds like you have gotten some good advice on the IEP.

    Everyone take care Sue in WA

    Karen, I agree with others. If you have an Autism diagnosis, he should begin with an IEP. I’m pretty sure my grandson started school at 3 with an IEP in place.

    I’m reading Good Sugar, Bad Sugar. Have any of you read it? I’m not far enough in to determine if I recommend it.

    I had surgery for a deviated septum and turbinate reduction. My breathing was much improved. I still remember how different it felt to have cold air moving through my right side. Good luck with yours!

    That is what I'm hoping for! And perhaps the ability for increased fitness.

    Currently I work to breathe especially when I exercise ... it would be delightful to breathe more easily.

    Took the extremepump class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a DVD for the bosu.

    After exercise stopped at the Salvation Army then Aldi to do some shopping. Home to go to the bowling Christmas party. I was fairly good – only had cheese, fruit, and some of the shrimp orzo salad I brought. Only water to drink. Did buy some sugar cookie mix at Aldi, think I’ll make some for Christmas. That’ll be three different types of cookies. I’ll put the reminder in the freezer and maybe around March take them to ceramics. They’ll never know that they were Christmas cookies.

    M – wouldn’t surprise me one bit if when you can start breathing, you’ll lose even more weight. They do say that sleep apnea leads to weight gain (or making it hard to lose). Congrats on your son moving closer to you

    Barbara – regarding burning mouth – we were putting up decorations and I came in the house to heat up water for tea. Stupid me took a mouthful because I was thirsty. And it was HOT. I’d forgotten to put some ice cubes in it before I drank it! But the silver lining was that I didn’t want to “sample” things that I was making for Christmas/Christmas Eve.

    Had a bit of a crying episode last night thinking about the fact that I won’t get to see PJ for the holidays. But for now I’m over it. At least I’ll see Jess. I remember when PJ was born Vince said to me “the only way we’ll ever see him is if we go up there”. Guess he was right (about this)

    Having my breakfast of steel cut oats with Greek yogurt and grapes. Not bad at all

    KJ – when we first moved to this neighborhood, not one person decorated. Now, a fair amount of people do. It’s just interesting.

    Kim – awesome tree skirt

    (((((HUGS for Karen VA)))) Do you think the grandkids will become foster failures?

    Carol – Hi, where in PA are you?

    Barbie – it’s a good thing you had an extra leash!

    Michele- Big hugs 🤗 . Hopefully as he gets older they’ll travel more! Let’s hope anyways.

    Tired but JR isn’t wish me luck guys. Got to get him to sleep he knows sisters coming so he’s being a bugger butt!

    "Todo"s and "done"s
    Did: transplanted lettuces, mustards and a tiny brussels sprout plant, (man was it cold and damp!) ground the almonds, updated firehall harassment policy with input from expert, emailed to board president, called cousin and chatted. Tomorrow will wrap goodies for a friend, meet another friend for coffee, pick up packages from post office, return dvd to library, finish the tree, prep veggies, walk/comb Tumble, make crescent and gluten free batters.
    Luci you are so kind, but alas, I've learned that just because I love doing something, doesn't mean I'm any good at it... take singing for instance ;) A big difference between having taught your leg muscles to move a certain way to certain music and having a real sense of rhythm and style. BTW it's Barbie who teaches line dancing. Confusing, I know, to have two line dancing Barbaras, but there it is.
    Karen in VA grr for a system requiring such setback for your grandson. ((Hugs)) to both gs and gd fostering those kittens.
    Lanette had to laugh at myself, put a few seeds in potting mix last month? Stuck 'em in the little plastic greenhouse where they sprouted, but just barely. It's so cold, they grew so slowly, most still have their seed leaves and only one or two true leaves. But I saw a friend who had “volunteer” lettuces that reseeded themselves from earlier crops and I got jealous, so I pushed mine into the giant pots in the sheltered sunniest corner of the yard. Hers are much farther along than mine were. Yes “were.” Shadow Puppy got interested and when my back was turned, investigated the transplants. Oh well.
    Welcome Pac!
    Heather ditto your “Go tigers” Beth, Karen, Annie, Amber and Kay! Grr!
    Rori Thanks! Will try those muffins to curb my after meal cookie overindulgence. The spiced pecan recipe is incredibly easy, takes way longer to read than to do.
    Got from this link, https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/3-ingredient-sweet-potato-casserole-with-maple-pecans but didn't want the pureed casserole so dotted these on top of roasted sweet potato chunks. First dish to empty at the potluck ;)

    Spicy Maple Pecans
    Ingredients
    ¾ tsp kosher salt
    1/2 cups pure maple syrup
    2 cups pecan halves (about 7 ounces)
    1 tsp freshly ground black pepper – this is a little too much, cut back to ¾ tsp
    added 1 tsp mace
    ½ tsp cinnamon,
    ½ tsp ginger
    ¼ tsp allspice
    1/8 tsp ground cloves
    barest pinch cayenne
    Preparation
    1. Heat 1/2 cup syrup in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pecans, salt, spices and cook, stirring constantly, until syrup has evaporated and pecans are glazed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a parchment paper (NOT waxed paper) -lined rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
    2. If they're too soft and goopy, pre-heat oven to 425. Bake in metal pan until syrup bubbles. Pour off onto parchment paper. When cool, test for crispness and goopiness. Repeat as needed until nuts are crisp, then pour onto wire rack so any remaining goey glaze drips off.
    3. Candied pecans can be made 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature. If they last that long ;)
    Machka hope that great news about your son and his fiance moving back won't put a damper on your restorative getaway... ;)
    Kim how I envy you your N. Calif sourdough.

    Well, the cheese dip was not such a great hit at the firehall potluck... too runny. Quite a bit left over, was going to freeze and use for soup base, but now think I'll just whomp up some mac'n'cheese with it. Haven't cooked for Joe in quite awhile, he'd probably welcome it.

    Funny how I can get so much more done when I “have” to be somewhere, like BB&B or dog group. Had all day today to accomplish stuff, watched a DVD from the library and napped instead. ;)
    Lighter, lovelies!
