Looking for a way to be more "green" this Christmas?


Happy Thanksgiving all! I will post Thanksgiving at the lake photos next week. Man, I have so much to be thankful for. I am going to start with being thankful for the pie that Meredith is going to make me!

Got Pie on my Mind


Would someone puleeze make me a chocolate meringue pie like my momma used to make? Yes, I want the whole pie. Yes, I want it to have those little beads of syrup after you put it in the fridge for awhile. Yes, cook it till the tips of the meringue are medium brown. hmmm... oh, and hurry.

Just for Fun


Thankful it has been a bit cooler the past few days. I am ready for fall and fires and even socks! Since I got me "the menopause" I have been looking forward to being "cooler"!

Planning Ahead

My daughter, Izzie and her husband Aaron are expecting their second child in about 8 weeks. They went to their birthing class today and came home with new instructions for me, the appointed caretaker of Ilon, their daughter, when Izzie goes into labor and the appointed food bringer. Apparently, they were instructed by the new midwife to leave me a list of what to bring them to eat after the birth. I don't know if I can handle all the stress of taking care of Ilon and waiting on the new baby and picking up the correct food depending on the time of day the new baby decides to come. :) Thankfully I won't be the only one involved. We are all getting used to the idea of this new baby coming soon. It has taken awhile to really believe it is happening. We have enjoyed having Ilon so much and it will be an adjustment for all of us with the new baby, whom Ilon has named "Roger". And she wants a sister. Go figure.
So let's get into the serious matter at hand. What will they really name this child? I am still hoping for Georgia after my grandmother. She was one awesome lady and her name needs to be carried on. Not sure about Ilon's choice, Roger Roepke.....too many rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.
over and out.
