[Seawaters]

With our having passed another milestone of now being over the final count last year, I think it is time for another opera! How about it, Binger?

Let us know which recipes she chooses, Xmas. I love to get new ideas!

Good first 'Bers morning,

I slept well last night, I didn't even hear the thunderstorm that rumbled through last night. My told me about it when I woke up. My wife also has broken out her Christmas Cookie cookbook and is going to start her yearly Fall cookie sampling when she tries out new recipes that will go best for our holiday celebration. We have some errands to do and then relax for an easy day.


I hope you all enjoy your Sunday.

This sounds like a perfect day. Have fun, Minta!

Good Morning .... enjoying this first day of the "BER" season with coffee and a french toast casserole that I made for breakfast. We have friends coming over for dinner tonight so I will be busy this afternoon cooking.
Have a great day and enjoy this first day of the BER season!

Not much going on here, Sugar. Hubby is in the kitchen making breakfast! It smells divine! We will be here all day with no Labor Day plans, except cooking out on the grill: Rock Cornish game hens marinated in Jack Daniels' mesquite marinade. We will have wild rice, corn on the cob, and fruit shortcake.

Good morning, everyone! How are you all? I am well. Welcome to the 'ber months!!! What are you all up to? I'm relaxing with my kids this morning. DH had to go into work for a little bit and give a little bit of his time for a motorcycle run, that they're doing. He should be back soon.

What are your plans for today? I don't think we will do too much. I go back to work tonight. Tonight is considered my holiday, so at least I will get time and half for doing it!

Tomorrow, I will sleep some and then in the afternoon, we will head to our neighbor's house, for a Labor Day picnic. They're supposed to be having a big party, so it sounds like it will be a good time. I'm going to make my buffalo chicken dip (it always goes over well!) and chocolate chip cookies.

Well, I am off to try to get caught up some here and then get some housework done here. We may run out to my parents later on too - to get cornstalks down, that way we can decorate for fall later on in the week.

Have a great day. I'll be back later. Talk to you all later on. God Bless and keep smiling!

The weather here today started out cool and is supposed to be in the high 80s--getting close to my kind of weather!

A tremendous thunderstorm rolled through here this morning ... actually, instead of rolling, it sat on us for about an hour. After it went, the electricity went out for about 15 minutes, but we seem to be okay now. We couldn't do anything while the power was out, so we're just lying around.

No big plans for today. That's okay, because the weather wouldn't cooperate anyway!

I did sleep well and feel LOTS better this morning!

That's good to hear!!!

I am going on-air @ QVC right now!!!

That's sooo exciting! :???:

Last morning in camp, all tents down just visiting and relaxing. Going to have a BBQ lunch before heading home again. Storm due to arrive around 4 otherwise we would do a camp fire again.
I look forward to a comfortable bed again!

Hope you had a good time and have a safe trip home!!!

How's everybody doing this weekend? I'm doing better....yesterday I took 120 kids to Six Flags to celebrate academic achievement and it's a long day. Six Flags is about 6 hours away from us, so leaving at 5:00 am and getting home around 11:00 pm is a long day. Plus, we were walking around on that pavement and it was 100 degrees....mix those two together and it gets even hotter than that.

Yeah, I would need a week to recover after that.

 

[sugar142286]

Um...I had that happen...like every year!!!! :lol: Thankfully since I bought the kitchen aid attachment, I don't have to boil them anymore! YAY!!! Good luck with the rest!! And enjoy them cooler temps coming up Maceka!

I plan on starting a garden this coming year and want to do tomato sauce, salsa, etc. I have a kitchen aid mixer, so I am glad you suggested this. I will have to get the attachment too. Thanks!

You guys look so relaxed. I bet you will sleep well tonight!

Almost time for me to head out to my brothers. Hubby is working late so I guess I'll meet him there. He always makes the ice cream (well, I make the mix, but he watches it in the ice cream freezer) SO wish me luck!!!! :-D

Have a good night gang!!!

:lol:

 

[Seawaters]

Thanks, Snowflake. It is not quite 70, but we are supposed to see the high 80s today. I wish it were a little cooler, but I will take this weather over 90s any time!

Good morning, friends!!

Hope you have a blessed day!!

So instead of putting me to work mowing the grass when I come visit, now I have to teach you how to can?

 

[Seawaters]

You have a nice day, too, Victoria! What are your plans for today? Tomorrow, for us US residents, it will be a holiday for us--Labor Day. Last year, I would have been eager for any and all vacation/holidays. Since I retired earlier this year, every day is a holiday for me, LOL!!!

Have the very best day you too!

 

[Seawaters]

I volunteer too!!!

If she needs an extra taste tester, I'm available!!!!!

Since I have to go to Wal-Mart today, I will stop by Starbucks and try to use the code for a Pumpkin Spice Latte! Yay!!!
