Safe travels.Yes! And I am really digging the class! It's going to make my work life so much easier!! Flying home Friday!
Thank you, Ms. Spidey!
I am cleaning - dishes and laundry mostly, but hope to get some vacuuming done as well. Just got the vacuum cleaner back from the repair shop. Making some split pea soup that my mom started putting together. She makes great soup, me, not so much! I made some sugar cookies for my mom, another relative, and my mom's neighbor for St. Patty's Day. The neighbor told me yesterday that she gave some to her 95-year-old mother and how much they both enjoyed them. So I'm going to try to get another batch made for them today.

I want a bowl of the soup. No one here likes pea soup but me.
When you come over for soup, would you bring me some vodka?

Or, to an engineer (my hubby): the glass is too big.
Oh my! My son did this after I weaned him - he was 2! He would die if I told him that now - he's 16.
I hope kat is feeling better and it's not the flu!
Oh hey - my co-worker just made this to share - it was very good, no bake.I wonder if you could give me an idea of what to bake for tomorrow night? It's the weekly "pow wow" that is held at the Turtle Island Community Centre.
It just happens to fall on my day off - I was thinking cookies, but squares and bars are good too - I'll have to research it when I get up tomorrow and put my mind to it.
I used to be a baking fanatic like you, but somehow or other I got out of the habit
p.s. Enjoy your trip! I hear that Vancouver is a beautiful city

I bet that's tough! I haven't been away from my family and I don't think it would be easy . But try to enjoy - not having to cook or clean or get up with the dogs - enjoy room service, watch whatever you want. It's almost over!!
certainly several as we must share.When you come over for soup, would you bring me some vodka?
Several bottles??! I like the way you think!certainly several as we must share.

When i drink Vodka,I can't see anything when Iam done.
My husband has been complaining about a noise the van makes. It was before winter that he started. Every time we get in the van he goes on..."do hear that noise? That clunking?" He has taken it in twice to get it checked. First time they replaced some clamps that should be kind of soft and springy, but were hard. Just with age.
But the noise didn't stop.
Every time we go in the van....he complained about it. On the weekend, it felt like it wanted to stall. It didn't actually stall, but even as a passenger, I could feel this.
Today he took it to a different mechanic. This same bar (attaching the two front wheels) also has these spongy thingies on either end...and he replaced them. Also found a hole in the muffler. Replaced what needed replacing there, and I think did a tune-up.
Dh picked up the van, then picked me up at a mall. Drove a few block, on a bumpy road. And he says "notice a difference?" ..... "What do you NOT hear?"
Apparently "You bi*****g about a clunk" was not the correct answer.

- that's cute! (married very long?)
Going on 37 years. Does it show?
Sorry Neesy I just saw this and it is a bit late to be of any use. What about brownies? I have a great recipe (easy easy)I wonder if you could give me an idea of what to bake for tomorrow night? It's the weekly "pow wow" that is held at the Turtle Island Community Centre.

for them if you want it for next time. I am starting a 2 day baking binge tomorrow to take to Vancouver with me. Vancouver is an amazing city. I really like the area she lives in. It's quiet and big trees shade most of the street,people
are very nice too.

Thanks - as it turned out, my son was hanging out with his new GF and a couple of other people at a mall, so we did not even go.
Plus me and my blistered feet kinda took it easy today (too much walking in my new job)
So it is back to a day shift tomorrow and I should actually be sleeping by now, but after working four evening shifts in a row I am not tired
One of these days I hope to be able to visit Vancouver - it's on my "bucket list"
(I heard that Victoria, BC used to have the nickname of "the city of the nearly dead and newly wed" - have you heard that one?)
