Murphy Postive Out Weighs His Negative Traits

I love my hubby Murphy dearly and got lots of great traits. He is hard working, trustworthy, I can depend on him, he doesn’t try to control me, provides for his family, tries to take care of all my needs physical and emotional, consider my point of view on all issues and isn’t afraid to stand. He no wimp

If I could change some things on Murphy, it would be these two areas, he can be a negative in his thoughts and words. I’ll give you an example something Murphy negative attitude.

PEPPYLADY: I heard that might be putting a new store in Sandpoint?

MURPHY: The way today economy is and bush in office they’ll be belly up in less then 3 months.

PEPPYLADY: I heard it’s going to be a Fred Myers.

MURPHY: Do they real think they can compete with Wal mart and don’t they know with Bush in the white house the poor are getting poorer.

PEPPYLADY: Well it gives us and others anther option to do some of our shopping form.

MURPHY: Well you always find the positive about every thing.

Sometime Murphy can make a mole hill into a mountain. Both of us were reading glasses. The other day he was some were and forgot his reading glasses. To him he thought the world was coming to and end. In minor event Murphy reacts like the world coming to an end.
A little confession here I rather have Murphy smoking pot he seems to have a sunnier outlook on life or his mole hill don’t become Mount Everest. I guess it easier for me to handle Murphy two faults. Sometime his two faults can get tiring

Murphy got lot going for him and I sure have my faults.

Same Ole New Year Resolutions

I’ve been trying to think of some new year resolutions. I keep thinking of the same ole ones. That I try from year to year. You know the one weight lost.

I know my big fault in losing weight is I eat uncontrollable when I’m bored They’re plenty of things I could do to take care of the broadness. Ok I got two more confessions to make why I don’t loose weight. I enjoy food to much and eat way to much of it here the kicker I actual like heathy dishes like fruits and vegetables. The fault I have in weight lost I don’t exercise enough when I’m actual more activity I feel better.

Ok maybe I should focus more on developing health habits. Like goes to curves 3 times a week, walk 3 times a week, drink more then 4 eight-ounce glasses of water, and increase my vegetable and fruit intake. Just plain forget about losing weight isn’t what I real need to be addressing as the real issue.

The other one I say I’m going to become more organized. The only closet got some type of organization is my hallway closet. The other one looks like a dam toronto came threw . The smart thing is to go through my closet and if I’m not going to use it in within the year throw it, give it away or yard sell it and if it still looks to big of bile of stuff reduce that. and things such are easier to mange.

Yea I said I was going to get my ceramic shop going and I was planning to do a show in Oden Idaho just out of Sandpoint. I sometime think things aren’t moving as they should be I need to look on what I accomplished then what I didn’t. what I like to get done is new shelf’s build in the old horse stalls to put stuff on other then ceramic molds. Built shelves in ole hay barn for my ceramic molds. Get rid of majority of my ashtrays and hollow handle mug molds If I got that done and it wouldn’t be long before I was doing ceramics once again.

Tightwad I'm Not

I don’t know if I consider my self as tightwad I do like finding bargains. I guess you can call me frugal

The other day Murphy and I stopped in one of our local thrift store. Behold they were a new or looked new couch for the mazing price of $14.95 I couldn’t believe my eyes. We examen the couch every inch of it. I sure hope I didn’t miss a piece. Plus color wise it goes into our living room.

I have two sites that I view dollar stretcher frugal living I find both of these site with lot of good info even if you think Watching the pennies is not important to one self

When people say I got too many bills The only time I feel sorry for them if it’s medical or something to do with surviving the basic to live with
People who says this to me I just got too many bills I think it or depends on my mood, I’ll say Lot of those bills is your own doing We have our electrical bill which includes our internet hook up, credit card which we pay off every month, our phone bill and for that we buy phone cards for our long distant calls and water bill.
I forgot net felix. I’m thinking about discontinuing it. The two last Cd’s I got was bunk.

We don’t have satlite tv or cable, cell phone or drive new rigs.

I buy majority of the time from local school function, local charity. I buy girl scout cookies, and even a raffle ticket here and there. I buy other people gifts for all occasions.

I guess I’m not a total scrooge yes I do watch the

penny’s falls’

Messages in Dreams

I believe when we night dreams or day dreams. Doesn’t matter how pleasant or horrible it may be. There is a message in all dreams we may not understand the message it trying to give us.

Last I dream that I was eating a baloney sandwich with olives. Confession time baloney is my lease favor sandwich I under the meaning of meat in a dream, olives, eating, and bread. I don’t know what message is meant by a sandwich or baloney. I just did a google search for meaning of dream symbols and it had the symbol for sandwich. Nothing for symbol on baloney

I only can talk an educated guess on the symbol on baloney Taking or giving to much crap physical or mental .

This is a picture of our place from google earth

Small Christmas Gathering.

We had a small Christmas gathering of 12 at my inlaws. This is a picture of their place they're planning to turn it into a bed ~n~ breakfast and I think they are planning to put a restrunt in the very lower level.

Christmas Eve At My In Laws.

Christmas eve was pleasant and I think everyone enjoyed them self. A least, I sure did. There were ten adults, four teenagers, four younger children, two babies, and two dogs.

Three O’ Clock we started with drinks and odervrs’ I had one hot cocoa and peppermint snaraps. I was hoping they had margretties Then a few waters and a cup of coffee. I had very little butterscotch snaraps. And finished the night with one beer.

Dinner was served at five and my sisters’ law Faith sat three tables. Each table was different in good taste. All had beautiful center pieces, table cloth and napkin ring holders. My sister-in-law collects napkin ring holders.
For dinner offering we had oyster stew, pizza, ham, dinner rolls, cottage cheese jell-O salad, cheese plate and carrot cake for desert. After dinner and dishes were done

. We started to open presents. The little kids went first and I think everyone got them something.
Then we did teenagers. Faith bought them all light sleeping bags or fleece bags I call them southern California bags. Then they did their gift exchange. Sawyer ends up with Uyen present which is a pair of gloves, the local high school blanket, and electronic game "20 questions." Bart got the pocket knife set that Sawyer gave.
The beebe gun that Bart brought, their cousin Matt got it.
Then the adults did their Christmas gift exchange. We drew numbers and went in numeral order. I had the lucky number 10 and us ether picked a gift off the table or we took a present from someone else we wanted. Then after all the gifts we given out. We sat in a circle and rolled a pair of dice and if rolled doubles you could swap your gift for anther one.
My brother-in-law Earl ended up with the can opener I gave. Murphy’s sister ended up with set of towels he gave.
Murphy got a lazar level and box of socks and I got some unique note cards and a thermometer. After the present was given out.

Faith put out some two candy trays and then serval games were brought out. Then the rest of the evening we played games and Visit.

Festivus and My Grievanes

Today as most days I read scarlett any her blogg on festivus caught my interest. So I went on line and try to some web browsing on the subject and found festivus and I want to know how to
celebrate festivus , since festivus is new to me. So I decide I’m going to list all my grievances

My biggest grievances are Earl and Tadita . Do I feel like I owe them remission of something I did wrong. I personal won’t speck for Murphy. Everyone could admit to some guilt here including Earl, Tadita, and Ulanda.

I’ve been kind of disappointed or even a little pout about how I didn’t get as far as I want to in my ceramic shop I thought Murphy always came up with ways to hinder or even delay me reopening my ceramic shop. Sure if he real didn’t want me to reopen the ceramic shop.he wouldn’t help me build shelves

I’m putting all my grievances in a sack with a calender (to represent time) and burning it up and not letting this is baggage consume on my inter or outer self.

Gifts a Glore

I know I’ll be getting two present for Christmas. One from my family and the other from my in-law side. I gave my husband murphy a list of five things I want or could use.
1. New personal address and phone number book
2. A nice warm bath robe
3. Digital thremonter
4. Can’t recall # four?
5. Can’t recall # five?
Isn’t that terrible I gave my hubby a list of five things I wanted for the Christmas.

At my in-law we will be having dinner with Murphy sister Faith and her husband Heinz. Cocktails at 3:00 in the afternoon. Dinner around five. The main meal is ham, oyster stew and pizza. I know the pizza a little strange for Christmas eve it actual pretty darn good.. I’ll be bringing a carrot cake, pizza, and dinner rolls.

Then after dinner. We do the gift exchange. The children’s 13 and under. Which they are seven of them and we bought for all of them. It averages out to about $8.50 a gift.
Then we have the teenage gift exchange and each teenage brings one white elephant gift and they’ll play some kind of game. The teenage white elephant gift exchange is new this year. It hard to find a gift for teenagers for less than ten bucks So we gave our boys twenty dollars each and let them choose a gift. They’ll be five teenage boys there.
The last thing we do is adult gift exchange everyone brings a gift around twenty dollars. In years’ pass we sat in a circle with the gifts in the middle. Then we took set of dice and tray, we took turns trying to roll doubles (everyone got one change to roll doubles and the dice were given to the next person) and soon as someone rolls doubles you picked a gift and once everyone has a gift, once all the gifts are give out. A timer is set between ten and twenty minutes. The dice are once again passed around and if roll a double at any time you can exchange your gift for anther one. All the gifts are unwrapped before the timer starts. Once the timer goes off the gift you have is yours to keep

Not sure when dessert will be served

The only thing I real don’t want for chistmas present is cash. I think it tacky . I’m tagging anyone who reads this. What do you think is a tacky gift?

weird kids

I was tagged by scarlett to write about how weird my kids are in past or present tense. This is being harder then I thought

My son Sawyer when he was little was scared of butterflies. He used to say “ their going to get me” He use to watch the sun and kept saying it getting closer to earth.
When he was in Kindergarten he want to be a weather man on the news and we always thought he was pretty much a ham. Sawyer didn’t talk to 3 years old.
Until about 3rd grade he wore all of his hoodies (pull over sweat shirts with a hood) backward so he would pull the hood over his face and thought he was hiding.

Now for Bart. When he was a little kid he want to drink beer and be biker. This kid now is so health conscious. Bart loves any type of game. He didn’t care if he won or lost as long as the game would go on and on. He would even do little things to slow the game down. One day Bart stood
up at 9 months and started to walk. He pretty much missed the crawling stage.

toffee butter crunch

I have to make slight confession right off I downloaded yahoo messenger. So I can send my brother in law Earl and his wife little clues about my blogger. So today I send the a brief message that after the holidays I’d be sending him short brief clues from my blogger. I know my brother in law well enough that he will try to see what we said about him. I know he was in the pass try to get in his wife journal, she was keeping a journal on how she felt using word and needed a password to get into it and Earl try to figure it out. He place tape recorders in his car and records some of her phone calls. I know my brother in law will try to find my blogger. Sometime I thought of calling up Earl and Tadita to see if they would meet me and maybe Murphy at the Chicken Chop and I would tell them the whole thing from Robinson Lake. We use to get along so well, until Ulanda poison are well. Way before the picture every showed up.
The seperation between Earl and his family and his brother family sometime I feel hurt and anger I know if you said you were sorry mainly Ulanda would stab us in the back or try to keep us under her thumb. I real don’t have any desire to keep Earl and Tadita having an relationship with Ulanda. But I wish their was a way for us to have relationship with Earl family.
Just had to get that off my chest

Holiday Wedding

Went to my 1st cousin twice removed Dysis, wedding today. Her new husband name is Tyson. Both children and they’re not ready to be married.
She turned 18 last July and dropped out of high school and is still giggles like a fourteen-year-old. I thought it was strange that she asked her great-aunt and Uncle that she could go to Arizona with them this January.
When they were opening their gifts and every time when she came to something cute she would show it off and giggle. But when some thing that she could use for a home she didn’t giggle as much.
We got them a 12-inch frying pan. Well sooner or later reality will hit home with them I wish them well.

My 1st cousin, the brides’ grandmother made the wedding cake it was white, with poinsettia and gold-beaded garland. To me it was simple with great style and deserves a round of applause There was a side cake and it was a carrot cake and it was fabulous and simple to do.
One box of your favorite spice cake mix
Follow the direction on the box. Except for do not add water instead add 15 or 16-ounce can of crush pineapples and add one cup of grated carrots.

We went and delivery a fruit cake to my friend Alice and Murphy want to see her so called ex husband Marim and to see if he knew where they were any pot at. Well he suggested his son Qwin and so we went over to his place and he wasn’t home.
Then we decide to try and find Fynn and Hypatia place sometime they’ll have some smoke around to sell. We’re not sure exactly they move to. So we came up empty handed.

Back to Alice. I honesty don’t mind seeing and talking with Alice I can relate with Peggy but I have trouble relating to Hypatia. It seems that Alice and has things in common then what Hypatia does I think Alice and I enjoy things such as home maker does and share recipes and home tips. I’ve always called the home maker position domestic engineer It seem like a Hypatia just wants to get stone. Well I decide that I want more to life and smoking weed and drinking. Sure once in a great I’ll take a drink or a couple hits of pot I mean I smoke pot maybe one to four times a year and that’s about it. Drinking I do little more I’ll have an alcoholic drink on the average two and half drinks a month.

Zumnak Easy My MInd

Been suffering from anxiety attacks. I figure they will go way in a short time frame like a few minutes I’ve had worst anxiety attacks.
The last few weeks I’ve thought I had every ache and pain threw out my body, too many to list and I don’t want to bore you with them. Some time I laid flat on my back and meditate by looking at a spot on the ceiling by saying the word zumnak, try to calm my mind.
When I have serve anxiety attacks, I have a fear of being alone. Yesterday and even to day they decrease a lot but I still feel tense at time and my back between my shoulder feel strain

.

In 17 days a good percentage of us will be making new years resolution. The one who makes the famous weight lost resolution. Are they making it out of guilt because they ate and was too merry during the holidays? Ok a little confession here I figure it my right to eat and lack off the exercise for the month of December but now I’m starting to think I would be better off doing my curves and not eating as heavy on the snack.

Home Schooling Some are lacking an education

I know some people who home school their kids and they’re dumb as a stump!

I’ve read but haven’t personally seen that home school children or so advance compare to public school. I like to tell about a few local families who home school their kids

My friend Alice lived up on the Mountain without basically no income. Her husband worked enough to get a bag of pot.
He believes that the public school was anti christens. I believe in separation church and state. . He never gave her any support to educated the kids or even for the basic needs. As little they were home school had to do every thing perfect. Wouldn’t let them advance really much more then a 1st grade level because they didn’t make the perfect letters or numbers.. Gee wiz my letters aren’t perfect and I got plenty of faults
She Findlay got smart and came down off the mountain and put the four children in public school. Her oldest child was too old to go to school. Her next two had to struggle through high school. Her oldest who was home school now lives on disability Well if wasn’t for disability I think he would have to do something illegal to support himself
He works here and they’re under the table for extra cash. Things I notice what he does. Have no ideal about time management. Show up on a job when every, he pleases. My boys are in public school and know something about managing time. They know how to get them self motivated. He also were taken advantaged by others. And thinks putting your money in a slot machine will do wonders.
My friend Alice did the best to put her kids in public school

I know anther family who is anti goverment and also didn’t put their kids in school. And taught their kids the world is evil and the goverment is going to show up on your door step and the world coming to an end. . This is before Bush, who know with him in office . These boys now seem angry. Last time I saw their education skill I’d put 20 bucks on about any six graders would do better then any of them.
They also got a daughter who was home school and now her kids are in public school.

I know a lady who about seven years younger then I. Her parents didn’t believe in any type of goverment aid. When she was born at home her parents never got her a birth certiftic, social security number or had nothing to do with any type of goverment supported taxpayer program. They home school her and part of their curriculum was that white race was much morally justified. I notice now the things she has to do to survive in this world is. Sell drugs and she also plays both ends. She will sell drugs and give names to local law enforcement. This is a good way to end up dead playing both ends She also made cash being a prostitute. I know she picks up odd jobs here and there.
I’ve even picked huckleberries with her and she even bought from me. I have to say she had trouble doing the math, pretty basic math mostly addition.
Actual she pretty a nice person too bad she has to do what she does to survive

I even thought of calling CPS on the first two families for child abuse. Not educating your children is plain a simple child abuse.
People who decide to home school their kids. Somehow need to prove that they’re educating their children. By taking them to their local school dist having them tested or showing the dist on what they are doing. The people who choice to home school their kids and don’t educated their kids should have their kids taken from them and be thrown in jail
This is one of my gripes

Ladies Getting to Know Your Neighbor Christmas Party

Yesterday evening me went to “get an acquainted with our neighbors” Christmas party. It was a ladies’ party. The age ranging form, I’d say about 23 to 78 years old.
It was hosted by our mennonite neighbor

I never new the different between a mennonite and amish. I was told an mennonite is liberate amish Maybe, and this will explain the different between the two groups. Around my local community I see different mennonite caps; black, white, black lace scarf, and white lace scarf. They have been good neighbors and never preach their religion on you.

I had a good time and only new five of the neighbors out of 15, I would say I knew before. We all read to gather Luke 2: 8 to 14 I don’t mine a little religion but I worked with people that they’re blinded by the light Then we all introduced our self and of coarse I ended up going first. Which I never know what to say, how much or how little to tell about my self Then we had a gift exchange. I brought five dish towels and got a beautiful simple brass tea pot Then we all sat around a vised and got more acquainted with each other. So one of the neighbors this summer is going to have a barbeque neighborhood party.

. My camera batteries are 99.5% shot and I’d like to put more picture with my blogg. I think the brass tea pot will be last picture I posted with my blogg until I get new batteries.

I guess the battery in my camera is to far gone

Giving to Charity

No one likes to live in poverty. This is real hard on the misfortunate people and their family. When your out doing your Christmas shopping sure to pick up an extra gift for those less fortunate. Believe me these people don’t want to be in this situation. My husband and I had to swallow are pride and beg for charity so our boys would have Christmas present under the tree . I was thankful that some one was kinda of nice to help us out.
We’re not millionaire or even close. Still I watch the pennies. I remember being down and out. Every holiday I donate a gift to one of our local charities to help out someone to have brighter holiday season. This year I donate > rumick . The local charity I pick this year was toys for tots Please take a minute and pick up an extra gift it doesn’t have to be expensive and give it to a charity who can make someone holiday a little nicer. Take my word for it “Begging isn’t nothing to be proud of and the poor real don’t like doing it” Sure their other reason why someone may not do Christmas. Put who are we to judge

Well I made some Snickerdoodles and they came out great. divinity recipe I used .

First round of Candy

Started to do some candy making and my first batch of peanut brittle I brunt, usual peanut brittle is reasonably easy to do. This is the first time I can recall burning peanut brittle.
I’m planing to make some divinity For this it takes two people to do. Murphy said that he will help me. I don’t know why divinity does better when there is a high pressure weather system.

We got 99.7% of the tree ornament hung. I got a few more ornaments to put on. These ornaments I honestly don’t know were to hang them.on the tree. Then I’ll put on the garland and then the ice cycles.

I’ve wrapped some present. I got Callie present wrap I gave her some cookie cooling rack I got Callie daughter Emily present wrap which is a sand art kit My last present I wrap was five dish towels

Which will be going to get to know your neighbor lady party here in Pleasant Valley. Everyone is to bring a five dollar gift and some finger food. I thought it sound like fun and looking forward to meeting some new people

Yesterday one of my links didn’t go.

Christmas Gifts Around $8.50 each

My friend Quenelle and I went Christmas shopping in Sandpoint
We went to JC Penny. She got socks they’re and I got two large bath towels and also some jeans for Murphy.
Then we went over to a liquid dilation world. My friend got a deep red bed quilted bed spread for $30 dollars. I saw some cairo cabinets all less than $200 but this was a Christmas shopping only. I didn’t get anything out of a liquid diction world.
Our next stop was big box market (Wal mart) My friend Quenelle bought stuff for anther family for some reason can’t get tegether to take care of life. She got their son some hot wheel stuff and the daughters some finger nail polish.
Her husband never bought her a birthday present, Christmas present or any of the holidays. Murphy remembers my birthday and Christmas. Some time his choice of gifts is different. Let just say One of a kind but I love them all.
I got all my outside presents bought, except one for my nephew Ozzie. This year I spend an average of $8.50 a piece. I bought nine present for less than 13 years for the in law Christmas eve party. I got a cookie cooling racks for my client and I also got her daughter a sand art kit. Oh yea I got my Christmas cards.
I now need to get two teenagers present for my in law Christmas eve party and something for Ozzie between $5 and $10. In addition I need to do my boys present.
I did also get Murphy a hoodie out of the big box market.

I was going to blogg about my Christmas shopping experience. It getting late and I want to practice trying to down put a picture with my blogg. This is a picture of my sister law faith dinner table at Thanksgiving. If memory calls me right I think they was 16 or so.

I know a local family here and their others just like them.
I honest don’t know what these people are at. Every Christmas not for religious reason they can’t get together to purchase present for their kids. I understand low income and I’ll be first to say and practice what I preach on this I don’t go in to debt for Christmas
This family can purchase alcohol ,cigarets , and marijuana. Ok I don’t even have issue with any of it, except cigarets. If you can afford to be self indulge you can buy your kids a few present. Their been time, few times we been low on funds. I swallowed my pride and went to a local charity and ask for presents for my kids.
I don’t know if these people don’t just get it, choose not to get it, to lazy, to much pride, selfish or multi of what every.
These people couldn’t get it together to buy their kids School supplies or clothes either.

don't lay your ornament on the tree

I was told that the trees I choice for Christmas tree looks like what Charlie Brown would pick. My tree looks far from a Charlie brown tree . A farm raise Christmas tree you don’t hang the ornaments you lay them across the tree

.

My supervisor called me at work and was bitchy about me not getting my hours in. I work for a full life agency . My client Callie is pose to get 18 3/4 hours a week.
Thanksgiving’s week I got 16 ½ hours. Because of her want to spend time with her family and I respected my clients’ privacy.
I would understand that if my client would need a lot more care then Callie does, such as feeding, toilet assist, and or mobility assist. I would never think of leaving a person to defend for their self if I new if they was even a slight chance of them being hurt.
In my honest opinion I think Callie hours should be Maximum 16 and lease hours she would be 12 a week.
A full life agency bills Medicaid at 15 something an hour. If my hours are short, they don’t get paid by medicaid. The truth is Full life cares more about the button line then the clients. I feel quite at easy that I could get all of my work done with Callie in 16 hours. So A Full Life Agency is basically getting 2.75 hours a week from the tax payers. This is corporation greed I get $7.90 an hour out of the $15.00 an hour.

I tried to load my camera software and I don’t know what went on. I f it works the picture of the decorate tree is Callie and the nondecorate tree is mine, grand fir.

In my eyes these "Christmas" tree's are just right

Today at work I brought Callie a Christmas tree and it was a red fir. Her daughter Emily father and everyone in household set it up.

Callie says she doesn’t love Wes but I wonder if theirs isn’t something there. I notice when she talks to Wes, there a certain look in her eyes. I bet a dollar to a dozen doughnuts that she positivity doesn’t hate him Maybe she just wants her daughter to have a good relationship with her dad.

Enough talk about people relationship. We re a range our living room to put up our christmas tree. This year we got a grand fir and I’m pretty pleased with it. I don’t like farm raised christmas trees because you just lay the ornaments on them.
I don’t like Charlie Brown Christmas tree because they’re to spinney to hang and ornaments on them and the tree falls over.

This morning I went to curves and did one round. I haven’t been for about two weeks. I was doing one whole round plus 14. I think that’s a round and a half. I don’t know why I did this but I ate a cup on vanilla ice cream this evening I decide I wasn’t going to try to loose any weight during the holidays. I was going just stay the same.

/what will I learn tommorow

Gee I’m getting some ideals on how to work with word perfect. I keep discovering new and exciting things about word perfect.

Still needs to learn how to use and formats Cd’s. I put most of my pictures on Cd’s. This computer won’t read any of my Cd’s from my old computer. Each of the computers had used different format programs.

One thing I don’t like doing is dealing with insurance company or I have very little respect for them We had been a customer with allstate for better then 10 years. Always made the payments on time, checks that I wrote are always good. Well Last fall I went in and took off the Nova because it needs a new engine in it and it. Well we pay our insurance every six months and usual our insurance on the automobiles are due the first part of December and June.
Some how things got mixed up and I went end to talk to our local insurance agent and to find out we had no coverage. Now allstate won’t cover us. So we switched to Viking insurance out of Wisconsin. Their charging us $442.44 for six months. That’s for 2 adult drivers and one teenage boy with 2 tickets. Not bad They say law suit drivers up the cost of insurance. I say bullshit if they took responsibly for their claims and was fair about them. I have no problem hiring a lawyer to sue an insurance company if I feel that I’m getting cheated any sense of the word.

in's and out on something different

I’m still trying to learn the in and out on my new computer. On the old computer I had plain “words” and me just love it. Easy to work with. This computer got word perfect 12 and lot of it is the same and some right-down not the same.

Yesterday we bought 2 strings of light to put on our Northwood maple tree in our back yard. It looks great.

This evening I rearrange the living room so I can put up a Christmas tree. Murphy cut down a grand fir and he did an excellent job of picking one out. I’m right down picky on my Christmas tree. I don’t care about tree farm Christmas trees or an Charlie Brown Christmas tree ether.

Today we went over and visit our friends Quenelle and Earl. We seem to always discuss our big ideal To be quite honest majority of our project take more time, because one simple feature lack of funds . We set around and talked what Jell-o or gelatin is made of. I came to the conclusion that gelatin is part of all most every living thing.
Quenelle made me a winter swag made of different things from her garden. Put what I like best is the cedar, which puts lovely aroma.
They had their angel put out and nativity scene.

Now for November weather report. I could tell a lie and said it was 82 sunny and nice. That wouldn’t be nice.
The highest tempter in November was 49.6 on the 12 of November.
The lowest tempter in November was 7.0 on the 30 of November.
The average high for November was 37.0
The average low for November was 25.2

Fruit Cake in Brandy

made 6 loafs of fruit cake today. I never heard of anyone saving their fruit cake for a year. One time it been said if you save a fruitcake for a year that you’ll have good luck for anther year. So now I know why they sock fruit cake in brandy.
But I still need to go and get brandy to put my fruit cake in.
I was planning on making some peanut brittle couldn’t find my candy thromonter.

3 of my friends and families will receive homemade goodies for Christmas. The lucky people is my client Callie, my friend Alice, and my friend Quenelle.

Today Sawyer took the S.A.T and he said it was the hardest test that he every took. Today we stop at Murphy sister Faith and ask what was the best way to do oyster on the shell. She explain it to Murphy and let him use her shocking knife. To me it almost look like a hoof pick, what you clean out horse hoofs.
On the way to store we stopped at the fair grounds. So I could give my friend Alice a birthday card. She’ll be 55 tomorrow. Yesterday and today they had a craft sale at our local fairground and Alice was selling her Jams and other stuff. It was pretty slow when I went their. Even Alice said it was slow. I look at her sell sheet it look like she sold about $65 dollar worth the stuff. In her birthday card I stuck in one lottery scratch ticket, pays up to $4000. Gee I sure hope she wins something.
For an adult birthday present I always give a card and put in one dollar lottery scratch ticket To the best of my knowledge I never gave anyone a winning ticket.
So we stop at our local store and was going to get some oyster on the shell. A dozen for $4.98 and they was out. So Chicken breast was on sale. So we cut the chicken breast up in strip and coated then with shake and bake.

Still getting uses to this new computer. I have yet figured out how to get pictures to show up from my Cd’s and I can’t get callwave to work in this computer. Plus this computer has word perfect and it sort Of Greek to me.

Then let cool.

In a large bowl add these ingratiate

1 pound of dates cut up.
1 pound of raisin
1 to 1 ½ cups of candied fruit.

I personally like all of my fruit, dates, and nuts on the larger size.

4 ½ cups of flour in the flour you will need to add.

1 teaspoon of salt
4 teaspoons of soda
