SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, April 30th
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 3:54 am
Good morning!
Welcome to my 'little' sister's 64th birthday! she is 13 months younger than I and the baby of our sibling group of 6. The oldest is 81. (he's also the livliest, the smartest, the funnest, and the only one still working!)
IRISH - what kind of cards are you playing that you win such great prizes?? We love cards. I played pinochle when I was young but have forgotten most of the rules now. Friends tried to teach Roy (LDH#2) and I how to play once but they also taught us how they cheat! We never played with them again. As for Jim - our pediatrician told us once when the kids were very little to cook rice (not the quick kind) using double water. Drain it and give the kids the water. It's loaded with nutrition. Also, he said to drink liquid jello for protein. He said liquid because they got these things in their bottles. Other ideas I've read for healthy cooking is to add peanut butter, nuts, oats when you can, and if using fruit to use sweet fruits like pineapple, oranges, so you can use less sugar. and use brown sugar when you can or even honey or agave syrup. How's he feeling today?
TINA - how are you feeling today? And how's it all going with your folks? Did your dad have much reaction to his first shot? If he has nausea, there are some powerful anti-nausea meds they can give him if they weren't included in his shot.
CHICKIE - Scottie Rx is Interceptor, too. He eats EVERYTHING! and we suffer for it! Tell Doyal thanks for me! Funny about his little 'confrontation' at the post office! We had a similiar thing happen once when we ran into friends, Warren and Lois in a restaurant. We told the waiter we wanted that table where they were seated and he said, 'oh, no, you can't have that one'. I said, 'sure we can'! and went over to make a little scene. Warren played along and the poor waiter was appalled - until he saw we were all just kidding. But we did get to sit at that table! lol!
BECCA - oh, trying to get two little ones ready to go somewhere on-time, especially when you are uber-pg, almost can't be done! lol! I hope they all eventually got there and you had an awesome day with them! Smart to wait to 'meet' a baby. My DB, Jim and wife, planned to name their baby Corina. When they saw her, she just wasn't a Corina. After 3 days they finally realized she was Pam!!
JANA - you are lucky - no fleas. They aren't much problem here because we treat our rugs and furniture with boric acid powder (active ingredient in Flea Busters but about 10% the cost). And it lasts for years. But we still use flea/tick meds because everyone goes outside and we travel, too. So if you need a beam in your basement, why wasn't it put there when the house was built? We have two upright beams in our family room downstairs (split level house) and I HATE them. They really interrupt the "feng shui" in that room as well as the furniture arrangement. But if we didn't have them, the house would fall down, I'm told. and some days that might not be a bad thing. . .
MARY Q and SUE will be here this afternoon. Sue's hubby, Kenn, is coming, too, so Bill will have someone to play with as well. My plan is to have hamburgers on the grill, jo-jo's and maybe some beans for supper. Though Sue is bringing pork chops for one night and I'm not sure if they will need to be cooked the first night. If not, then it will be the burgers while my homemade buns are fresh. Tomorrow - we will be off, hitting thrift and quilt shops! Dont' know what the men will do. Don't care. We dont' have a Hooters in town so they can't get into too much trouble. that's OUR job!
If you don't hear from me for a few days, just send money c/o Pierce County Jail!
