I do want to stop at Home Depot after breakfast to see about parts to change the sprinkler heads in the 2 front beds near the house the old one sprinkle not only the bed but the driveway so I am thinking we can get a "elbow" piece and redirect the spray down instead of out
other than that I was a do nothing day of rest since it has been so non-stop this past week
Just running to store this morning and having cake and ice cream this afternoon. Other than that I am having a do nothing day today also. I have not even looked for jobs this weekend!
I do have to study for the civil service test, might have to do a little of that tonight and see if I can bring back any math skills I might have buried in my mind! Yuck I hate math!
Shadow & I just got back from the barn where we hunted mousies, did laundry, and "helped" the blacksmith to clean up after himself (interpret : Shadow has been eating hoof trimmings all morning).
The race starts in about an hour and we will all be comfy on the couch for the afternoon.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Hi, gang.
Well, I had a bout of senioritis this week. One of my coffee social table mates fell and broke her wrist. I told her gentleman friend earlier in the week that I'd make her some chicken soup and bring it over. We decided Saturday would be the best day to do that. So, this morning, I woke up and thought about making soup for Veronica. Then I realized that today is Sunday and I had totally forgotten my promise. So...I made soup for her this morning. I have to say, it was pretty tasty, too. I also took out a small banana bread I had in the freezer and brought that over with the soup. She's a terrific lady and still has it all together, even at 93.
Hey, Karla...do you still do Movie Day?? Haven't heard you mention it in a while.
We're fighting with Comcast. I hate, hate, hate, HATE them. A-holes. We're having problems with both internet and cable, but it takes forever to talk to somebody and when you go online with them, they don't know $hit from shinola. I think we'll be visiting their office tomorrow.
Gonna be a hot one again today. I think I'll work on my grandneice's afghan. Enjoy.
Evey lol she really eats them ewwww I guess that would count as "dietary roughage"
Sandy what time should I show up for cake & ice cream !!!
Pattie thats so nice of you & I am sure she appreciated it
*looks around* we have movie day on the shelf we may take a old one out now and then, but a whole day sitting watching movie after movie
well we had a busy afternoon hubby decided he wanted to downsize his computer from the humongous gaming computer he built 4 years ago the tower is almost 3' tall so we ran to Best Buy the great thing is he can probably sell the old one for $400 or $500 which was the price of the e-machine he got
Then we stopped at Sears I have been looking for a small patio sized gas grill,I am not a charcoal fan.
I found a small one on clearance for $69
So of course we had to stop at the store for somethign to grill
I am going to try Patties Potatoes as a side !!!
It is sooo hot out there and really smokey from the wild fires about 10 miles south of us it looks like fog . We need a good rain to clear the air
Today I did a Jackie Warner core workout, it is really a tough one, not just on the core muscles but my legs were protesting quite a bit too.
Hey Karla, I have some chunks of beef for kabobs marinating in the fridge, they'd be perfect for your new grill! Sounds like you got a fantastic deal too.
Not much going on around here, mh is out at the boat, they're going to take it to the regular marina and clean it some more and ...some other stuff?
I am not sure where I went wrong, I am not sure if I used the wrong size they were a little smaller than golfballs or didn't boil them long enough
When I "smashed" them they sorta fell apart. at first I used the tater masher but pieces came through so I went for the flat surface of the meat tenderizer and gently pushed down
Were they suppose to be peeled first ? Maybe thats why they didnt smash right

Sorry you had problems with the taters, Karla.
You gently push down on the masher until the skins "pop" just a bit. The potatoes should be slightly flat on top and bottom with a little of the white part sticking out. You boil them first until they're "fork tender" which, to me, means as soon as you can get the fork into them. They shouldn't be cooked all the way, because you'll have them baking in the oven for a while more.
oh lol I think I mashed too hard mine were like pancakes
