TGIT

Almost TGIF!
I have lemon loaf in the oven, and I screwed up the unbaked cookies!
Go figure!
Bakerella I'm not!
http://www.bakerella.com/
Martha Stewart either.....don't listen to those other Rec. Asses!
I don't think I boiled the cookies long enough, and I used cream instead of milk!
Never again!
Oh well, they're for the Library Open House tomorrow night. I put them in not quite bite sized Halloween cupcake papers I found in my pantry!
I'm sure they'll work.
Already made some Pepper Jelly Tarts, and one of the Lemon Loaves are going on my best Halloween tray for tomorrow!
That would be one of those funky, tacky, plastic $ store ones!

I figured out why my "O"'s took soooo long to get to Texas!
I got the mailman from the lodge to mail them. And he did.
When I mail them, I make them put a sticker on for Customs, write down what it is, and put a value of 5 or 10 bucks on it. Then it can be tracked! It's only an extra $1.00 for that!
Cause I mailed my flowers on Tuesday!
We'll see how long they take to get there!

Here they are....I'm gonna take a picture of everything now!

Charity, the one doing the Halloween Banner swap, must have done the same thing!

Just mailed them!

Oh well....there's next Halloween.

Gonna start decorating the lodge tomorrow for Halloween! Whoo hoooo!

The weather was lovely today! Got above 0 for a minute!

Shadow's outside barking at something or nothing!

She barked all night last night!

She's a little bored I think with just the cats for pets!

NO buffalo, and NO horses next door!

She's even taken to chasing things; not only in her big 160 acre yard, but in her air space as well!

I'm not sure what she'd do if she ever caught a Raven or a Goose!

Vanessa texted me this morning! She got my Crop a Dial (Crop o Dial? not sure) from Michaels with a coupon!

She was just home with my last wish list, and I sent her back for more!

Dianne also texted me, and said she was house sitting at Glorias and did I want tomatoes?!

I said, "I don't have time this weekend."

She said, "We froze them."

I said, "Ok, I'll do some another day."

I'm also hostess Monday night for the Stamp Club, so have to save some goodies for then too!

Not sure how lunch will go over, cause everyone seems to be in Weight Watchers!

Hint, Hint!

As I hurried to work this morning, cause I just can't get my butt in gear, when it's still dark, I was dreading winter! I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark.  It's depressing!

The only great thing about this morning was the sunrise....which I'm happy to say; happens around 7:40 am instead of 5:00 or 5:30 am!

Another depressing thing is going to the punp house for a smoke.

The aereation pump gets noisier by the year! Holy moly, can't even hear yourself think! I'm thinking that's the reason I've cut WAY down on the cigarettes! It's enough to make me want to quit! Okay, I'm gonna think about that one!

The book I'm reading the residents at the lodge is about the pilot Wop May. I want to call it Heroes with Wings, but I know that's not it!

Anyhoo, I read for about 45 minutes, then shut the book, and the ladies & I started talking, and my gentleman that comes to story time says with his thick accent, "THASSSIT?"

I took a slurp of water, and read another chapter!

He's really great!

Every once in a while when I'm passing through the dining room he says, "Story time?"

And I say, "Not today!"

So today on my way through, I said, "It's story time, Come on, !"

Better go, I have mom's Halloween card to finish, and ideas for a few more cards.

And the Lemon Loaf should be ready to come out of the oven soon.

Ta ta for now!

Kittens, Kittens EVERYWHERE!

Got home today with my $50.00 dog food.........yeah, I know, Had to shop locally!
Even my scanner asked me, "Are you sure?" when I told it the price!
Ray was just getting his coveralls on to go get wood....(refer to earlier post about how much would he get done in a day if he got his butt in gear)!?
Anyhoo, went to feed the cats, and there were kittens all over!
We knew Jerry had 3, because they'd been hanging out at the woodshed!
I even managed to pick up one of the little hissers & spitters! Man, they're funny when they're little!
The last time I was at the cat house, I told Ray, "There are kittens in there, because there was a lot of scrambling when I went in."
He said, "Guess I better move the tires and see what's back there. Last time I moved them there was a bees nest."
That was a few days ago, or maybe even last week.
I guess the wild orange cat has some too!
I also had to stop at the drug store.
My knee's been killing me!
Ever since Saturday (naturally)!
Vanessa came home for the weekend, and Ray said, "How long has it been hurting?"
Vanessa, "Well she's been limping around ever since I got here at 5:00."
No Sympathy there! lol!
I rationed my last 2 pills and took them at bedtime, Saturday & Sunday.
I then cleaned out 2 purses, and 3 drawers looking for more. They're the good anti-inflamatories!
Turns out, I just got the prescription...didn't get it filled.
I only need 10 at a time, 4 a day, and I'm good!
By Thursday I shoud be cured......this time!
Saturday at my 'other' job, I took some pictures.
This is where I used to work. Way in the back in a "if it's -20 degrees, we go home cause it's too cold to work" office.

This is where I'm working now.

My lovely and WARM office is the one on the right.

I don't know what's going on with all those extention cords on the bench out front!?

This is Buster!

No he's not dead. He's a dog....thinks if he flops down in front of you, you'll rub his belly!

He protects me at my 'other' job.

Here he is! He's a REAL great Pyrenese. (Not sure about the spelling)

He runs beside me when I drive into the yard over there, and he can look me in the eye through my car window! He is HUGE!

I made supper yesterday.
The kids came out early, so I dressed them up, and sent them to help Ray get wood.
Kalen, "When are we eating?"
Me, "I'll put it in the oven right now if you go help your dad!"

Here they are unloading in the snow!

The woodshed's getting full!

What's this?

It would be my snow blower, kicked out of the woodshed, until all the wood is in. Then it has a corner!

This is a Shadow!

She is a Collie/Great Pyrenese. She never grew into her feet!

And this is Spencer.

He comes to play with Shadow when his owner (Jason) comes to dine with us!

And this is what it looks like at the Luck household after a meal!

That's Ray and Vanessa on the couch.
Kendra & Kalen on the loveseat.



Oh, those are Jasons' feet. Him and I are NOT napping!
hahahahahaha
Well, ta ta for now!
Going on a picnic with the Berwyn lodge tomorrow.
Peggy called and asked if we should, "still go to Lac Cardinal boat dock."
I said, "Why not?"
I said, "You're gonna build a fire in that kitchen, and I'm going to whine cause it'll be too hot!"
