Something About Nothing............ #14

[schumigirl]

​

Yep, December is here.......although the rather romantic vision of December in the picture never really happens very often. If it snows here, it turns to slush very quickly.

It`s been a beautiful sunny morning, but chilly. Sunrise was stunning over the sea earlier.....

Boring rice krispies for breakfast.....but decided on home made beef burgers tonight, spicy wedges and onion free coleslaw with a small salad.

Got a call early asking if we could do some deliveries last minute, absolutely. We had no plans this morning anyway. Popped into the bakery on the way home for some bread as I made butternut squash and sweet potato soup for lunch. Just popped in some mini cinammon rolls in the oven, I am not a fan of making my own usually, but they taste lovely.

Should be ready soon.......

Happy Tuesday......

Hehe, for all the cat lovers:

 

[schumigirl]

First batch ready......I`m not the most artistic with icing, but they are tasty. Two more batches to go.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, time to taste Schumi’s delicious looking buns. They’d go good with my tea. Just sayin’

Good Tuesday morning.







23 days till Christmas


We had some flurries yesterday, but nothing stuck to the ground.

Yeah, we have those pop up type medical places. Really depends on who is on the medical staff.

Our stand alone clinics are affiliated with the local hospitals.

At my house it’s just the two of us and we took a vote not to have another turkey for thr 25th, but the prime rib
Won.

Prime rib is a great choice for Christmas dinner.

As you described the health systems are suggesting folks head to the clinics, often after one pays for a video visit with their own doctor. Way to double dip there & run up health costs.

Sad part is in our situation the clinics are truely double dipping because our Clinics (Doctors Offices) and Afterhours Clinics are owned by hospitals here.

First batch ready......I`m not the most artistic with icing, but they are tasty. Two more batches to go.

Looks yummy. I will have one please with my coffee.


Sending get well good wishes to you and your hubby Wendy.

Shout out to Tink

I woke up this morning and the bird bath water was frozen was 32 degrees on temperature reading. We will be in the mid 40’s for next few days. Will be a bit cooler up near Dads when we head up Thursday.

Going to head out today to mail some masks and Christmas packages. I had the packages ready to mail off for two weeks now. So will get them posted today.

I’am working on another batch of masks for my Great-Nephews classes. They were over Thanksgiving and they picked out the fabrics they wanted for their Teachers, boys and girls in their classes.

I’am a little behind on mask making after being sick. So trying to catch up now.

Granddaughter invited me to go dress shopping with her and my daughter-in-law a week from this coming Saturday. Was so glad to be included in her wedding pre-planning.

Looks like farm behind us is going to be built on in some form or another. We have a few more meetings to go to. Will continue to see how things evolve.

Having my coffee this morning in my big HHN mug. Enjoying the quiet of the morning and the Christmas Tree lights.

Need to pick up a few things at the store.

Have a great Tuesday Sans family.

Hi Robo, glad you’re here. Hope you are feeling better, and toe not swollen now. Your masks are great, and so cute. Nice you are giving away more, and how fun to go dress shopping. What a sweet day planned with your granddaughter and DIL. A wedding is a happy time for family. Woot for coffee in that mug. Good day for coffee. Well, tea too.

Ack, the morning is crawling.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Good afternoon all. Hopefully caught up on the posts. Robo how lovely to go dress shopping. Nice buns Schumi! Sorry no good morning Lynne. Yes we were up and out early after the school run. I had to return something - over in the next county but only 20 minutes away. Absolutely beautiful drive with blue skies and very thick frost over the fields. Sheep in the frost like a Christmas card.

From there we went to our favourite butchers to place the Christmas order. Not as much as “normal” but plenty for baking and nice meals. Treated ourselves to a bilberry fruit tart from little bakery nearby. Don’t see them often these days.

Kev has finished painting the downstairs cloakroom and will start on the main bathroom tomorrow.

Just us two eating tonight so we have fish and roasted vegetables.

I know some of you not Disney freaks like me but.....

 

[Lynne G]

Good Evening, Julie. Always good to get errands done, and pick up a sweet too. Hope your couple dinner was nice.

Christmas orders. Hmm. Guess I should look for another turkey breast. Hopefully, maybe discounted. Ah, no errand running for me today.

 

[macraven]

I’m still .... laughing that Julie said nice buns to Schumi.

Cold today but back in the 50’s in a few days.



The free Dorito Taco is back for today.
Of course I have to pick up dinner there tonight, can’t pass up that free taco special.

Have you seen Calendar Girls Mac? Classic line “we’re going to need bigger buns”!

I am so behind in life that I have no idea what Calendar Girls is about.
( or if it is a tv show, movie or book.

i know......sad, but google is my friend when I need a translator on what is posted here.

Calendar Girls is a British movie and then stage show based on a true story of a lady who lost her husband and decided to raise money for the hospital through a Woman’s Institute naked calendar that was the first of its kind! Funny and sad.

Good to see you Robo.......yes, they were delicious!! I`m happy to share......

Enjoy the shopping trip, finding the perfect wedding dress is so important......you`ll have so much fun helping.......

Nice buns/baps.....I`ve been told that before........



Julie, scenes like that are so pretty......looks like your area may be in line for snow Thursday or Friday according to one of my relatives......seems a little early. Think we may be avoiding it for now.......of course it may all change by tomorrow.....




Dinner was nice, and so filling again. Burgers went down a treat....none of us like buns with them except Tom who more or less eats anything you put in front of him....although I`d rather he was like that as I couldn`t do with fussy.

Cup of tea with a cinnamon pastry in a little bit.....not sure where most of them disappeared to this afternoon!

My friend who got the new puppy Poppy few months back is getting Poppy`s brother tomorrow. The family who took him had some unexpected issues and were devastated to hand him back, I`m just glad they did and not abandon him anywhere. So my friend, being my friend.....said they`ll have him......she now has 3 dogs, 2 horses, a plethora of geese and a husband......lol.....he`s the most work I think......

I can meet her for a walk on the beach next week sometime and meet the newest addition.....looking forward to it.

Time for a pot of tea.......

Ooh, friends of ours live just a bit North of us. Yep, confirmed tornado struck their neighborhood. They had some house damage, and neighbor of their’s, roof came off home. Luckily, we tend to get the lowest rated tornado, but they still do damage. Glad all are okay there, and we just got some bouts of what my phone said, was moderate rain. Yeah, loud rain, it was. And still warm in the evening.

Today, what a change. And boo, those clouds are not all white and fluffy. Rain carrying ones. Even with a jacket, the lunchtime walk felt that brisk wind biting.

Ah, kids are getting hungry. Time for dinner. Some steak left over, so steak tacos by me. Made some salsa at lunch, so should be good with the tacos. Easy meal. Yay!

 

[macraven]

Why do I keep hearing Neil Sedaka’s Calendar girls song in my head.....lol

pointing the finger at Julie!
Jk

Yes it is Tuesday and that means Taco Bell run.

if you want me to pick anything up for you, give me a holler...

No rain today which was predicted last night for today.
But dang it was cold here for me.
I’ve been southernized...
Back into the 50’s this week and then cold will be in mid December.

charade is due back home today so hope Lynne or anyone puts the porch light on for her.

Our outdoor lights come on at 5:40 this time of the year.
By the end of the month, 5:00 it will be dark for us.

 

[Lynne G]

Just after 6 and very dark out. Hope Schumi and Julie are already dreaming. For all, light and good night.

Mushing thru the snow to post here

Youngest DS put up his tree, in record time one of his babies set up residence underneath it, complete with one of his favorite toys...a coke bottle cap lol

Nice to have the Mr home this week, glad he spied this monster lurking about waiting for my pooch to come outside. Thing is way bigger than him, ugh. Now I’m going to have to follow him around in the yard with a bat. Weird to see hawks be so bold and not spooked by humans.

Waiting to hear tomorrow if my hand surgery on Thursday squeaks thru as planned. They’ve started to cancel non-elective procedures as the hospitals here as well as no visitors either.

Yep, Keisha, not a typo. He was just a big cat. Was a happy one, and was sad when he passed away after 18 years. Got him from the pound at around a year old.

Sounds as though we was a very content kitty with a great home, 18 is long-lived

Finally figured out what temperature to set the oven at for reheats.

Congrats. Since i’m Still crushing on my air fryer must say it heats up pizza very well too

You only have to be good for the next 24 days to avoid getting coal in your stockings....

Running joke here, have a few small containers of coal that morph between my men’s stockings each year. Pretty sure the chosen ones feel special to receive them

Funny how families develop holiday traditions.

And yep, while we are so ready to be away this holiday, it will be the same as Thanksgiving. Just the 4 of us. After hearing reports of the crowds this past week, and our current state having climbing numbers. No travel for us, until maybe this summe

Smrt

First batch ready......I`m not the most artistic with icing, but they are tasty. Two more batches to go.

It’s official, you do have hot buns

Yes, i’ll Beat that dead horse knowing others already charged the hill

Granddaughter invited me to go dress shopping with her and my daughter-in-law a week from this coming Saturday. Was so glad to be included in her wedding pre-planning.

That is so sweet . I was thrilled to be invited along when my DiL picked out her dress...and thanked my lucky stars I didn’t have to foot that bill

Thought of you when i saw that news, glad it wasn’t in your neighborhood.

 

[Charade67]

charade is due back home today so h

Nope. In Gatlinburg, TN until Saturday.

 

[macraven]

Oops, I remember that now!

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I’d be careful with your little pooch, Keisha. Have heard hawks going after small pets. I see them in our yard, sometimes, including one that caught a squirrel. Why my neighbor chickens also have a strong metal top to their run.
