Thank you!!!! See that's what I said!! I was on the phone with Noah when Moose stole the butter. Mid convo I interjected, "No Sir!! What in the world is wrong with you?? Did you loose your fuzzy brain?!"

Took it from him and explained to him that it would make him sick and again reiterated counters are off limits.

I walk back in the dining room to sit back down at my laptop and he slinks into my chair... also another no-no.... and gives me that face. I immediately coo about his cute face and smooshy head and ruffle his moose-like ears.

Noah says, "Mom... I've been meaning to say something to you about you discipline measures with my dog. They're uhm... a little lenient."

I said, "Oh I don't wanna hear it Pal. Mr. "MOOSE-YOU-SPIT-OUT-THAT-CAT.....aaawwww-who's-such-a-superboy-Moosey-is!" And That is a QUOTE Noah Jeffries."

ROFL

I guess that
Butter, and the chair, is just too great a temptation!

going to be a fun day !

Have a great time today!

Hey everyone! Hope yall are great. Just wanted to drop by and say good night. Might be Friday night or Saturday before I'm back. Until then...yall be good!

Nice to see you!! Hope your week is going well!

Good evening,


Long, slow night at work tonight, and I head in bright & early in the morning.

I did receive my order guide for my Thanksgiving turkeys, my back was hurting just reading it. Less than 6 weeks until my first shipments start coming in.

I need to get some shut-eye.

Goodnight, everyone.

I'm sure the thought of turkey season coming isn't exciting to you, but just reading that made the holidays seem really close!!! Which is exciting! :grin: Hope something new comes up for you before turkey season!!! Have a good day!

I was able to get in to see my doctor yesterday to get antibiotics for the bladder infection. The holiday made that difficult, lol! Hubby and I both had appointments today. We will be setting up a surgery date for me to fix the ganglion cyst in the middle finger of my right hand. It will be in and out with a few weeks to heal. TTYT

Hope your doctors appointments went very well - and I hope your surgery goes very well! Keeping you all in my prayers!! Have a good day seawaters!

Oh yes! We have explored all the castles. My kids are all grown now but still talk about how much fun they had exploring them when they were little. The cabin we use to stay in on top of the hill had a part of a castle ruin there - looks like it was not finished being built. I am not really sure if the general public go up there often because it is up on the top of the road where the cabin is and usually only people who are staying in that cabin are the only ones that drive up that road.

We have stayed in one of the cabins during the summer that is on the main road right past the water bridge. The rest of the times were around Christmas and we stayed at the top of the hill overlooking the stream called the Ealey Cabin. They closed that cabin down but the Kieser cabins are still there and were remodeled. They are located right next to the one we use to stay in. We never stayed in that one but plan to someday!

Every time I go to Oklahoma and stop at the rest stop over the border where they have the tourist brochures I always pick up the one about the Witchita Mountains. I really want to go there someday!

If you want to ever go let me know and I'll show you around down there. The Wichitas are a fairly long chain starting around Lawton and extending pretty far West! I want to go to Quartz Mountain which is about the western most peak of the chain. I've heard it's pretty!

Talking about all of this is making it hard to do my work! I want to be out there and not in this office.

I am going to be putting up some fall decorations this week. I leave my USB Christmas tree and 'Merry Christmas' wall decoration up all year (although I only turn on the decoration starting October 1). What can I say?

I'm obsessed.

Welcome to the Countdown! We love seeing new "faces" on here!

I say turn on those decorations year round. There are several Christmas decorations I leave up all year long.

I will let you know if we ever make it up that way! Sounds fun!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a warm morning, but it's only supposed to get to 90° this afternoon. I hope so!

My son turns 17 tomorrow...17! How did that happen? We're taking him and a few of his best friends out to eat tomorrow night, then dropping them off to see the new scary movie "As Above, So Below". Crazy name for a movie, but it looks scary. Then Saturday evening, we'll have the family over for burgers & dogs.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good afternoon, Brad. Happy Early Birthday to Jacob! Hope you guys all have fun celebrating. Hope you're day is going well too!

 

[sugar142286]

Be back later to catch up hopefully.

Keeping you and you're in mom in my prayers. Ttyl. Hope you're have a good day.

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!



The Sweet Garlic Chicken recipe I posted the link too yesterday turned out very yummy!! The only thing I did different was bake it at 350º - 15 minutes covered, 15 minutes uncovered (my chicken breasts were small to medium size) ~ the recipe calls for 450º - I just think that's too hot for chicken breast ~ they turned out awesome! Hubby liked them too. Gracie liked them too! :-? Little booger stole one off the counter while we were outside husking corn!! She was licking her chops when she finished! She was a dandy yesterday!! Jim said she was mischievous! :lol:



My Mom & sister came over to help with the corn. Thank goodness they did or I might still be doing corn!! Jim & I had a couple ears with supper last night & it was delish! I kept out about a dozen ears, mom kept about a 1/2 dozen & my sis took about 10....and then we put up 3 - 1 gallon bags (for Christmas Eve :-D) & about 17 or 18 quart bags. I would say the corn did well in the garden this year! Lol!



Wishing you all a happy Thursday! I'm heading back to read more posts from last night!

That Gracie, she is something else, but very darn cute!

The chicken sounds very good! I'll have to add it to my recipes. Thanks!
