We've been real lucky to not have the drastic drops in temps here in Mindenmines. Just a few dustings of snow, and once or twice got maybe an inch? The wind has made it a lot colder, tho, but mostly staying in upper 30's or 40's. Most of the snow has been staying up north, or south of us . . . kinda like we're in a "fair weather" area ~ LoL I'm REALLY glad we haven't had the colder temps in the teens! Hope everyone is staying warm, tho, and able to keep the pipes unfroze.

Well, dumb me ~ LoL ~ I thought I had mentioned what each of my goodies was that I made? 😛 Guess that was in another message, else where ~ LoL Anyway, yes, the first one is a banana bread. The 2nd one is a biscuit-type sweet roll, kinda like those that Hardee's use to make, only without the raisins. Then the chocolate meringue pie. Following was the mini-coconut pies (the filling was a new recipe I tried, but it only made enough for those 2 smaller pies). And then the coconut macaroons out of the left over meringue ~ I made the chocolate pie after those. The pan of yeast rolls and cinnamon rolls was made earlier. Hubby and I were talking about my making my spaghetti sauce and lots of mozzarella cheese , then making up a batch of Scotchas again, which are like little pizza pockets? You can use pizza dough, or your favorite yeast dough recipe. I got the idea from an Italian home health client I helped take care of his parents, some years ago in Kansas City. You could use almost any kind of stuffing really ~ barbecue beef or chicken, your own pot pie mix , or even some kind of fruit filling ~ I tried making some sugar cookies a few days later, but those boogers were like concrete! LoL Almost too hard to eat, unless you soaked them in coffee or milk ~ 😛 I even cut back on their baking time, too. Maybe that's an old recipe I need to pitch?? LoL But I've been having a lot of fun ~

Doing good here, Carol ~ Sorry to hear you aren't feeling too good. I guess the sudden drop in temps down your way has made a lot of people sick, heh? These weather changes can really do a number on folks, for sure. Get Well Soon, ya hear?

Brenda ~ I'm a so sorry to hear you are having such snowy, cold weather up that way! Just stay safe and warm! So far we aren't having too bad of Winter, as yet, just a dusting or heavy frost at times, but no accumulation. Your dinner sounds yummy! We lost our Denny's in Lamar, Missouri about 4 yrs ago . . . replaced by . . . a Beef Jerky store??!! 😕 Yeah, that's right. That was the only good restaurant left in that town after Blue Top closed down (it was a home cooking restaurant). I guess nothing lasts forever, heh? When my son got married here, he took us all to Denny's after the wedding. That was the last time we were able to go eat there, and we sure miss it. That's wonderful that the Chiefs won, too!! How exciting for Kansas City!! That would be great if they pulled off winning the Super Bowl!!

Oh! I love that guy that is playing Aquaman!! He played on Stargate Atlantis and was great! Of course, I love ALL of the Stargate shows ~ LoL Enjoy your ribs dinner and wine, Mary Jo ~ Sounds good! We had White Castles frozen sliders for lunch (a busy-day meal) ~ LoL

Mary Jo ~ Well, phooey! If that isn't a bum deal . . . altho, I am sorry I made you hungry ~ Wonder who all else can't see the pics, too?? I can see them ~ (computers . . . ugh!!) We've been having some decent weather, nice in the upper 40's and 50's, then a day or two of wetness and cold again (good cold-catching weather, for sure!). It's been nice to boot the kitties outdoors, too for most of the day . . . they're sleeping waaay to much, and end up running races during the night with each other! LoL Hope you're enjoying some nice days, too, and not too much rain or cold there in Florida ~

I really don't think it's anything you did, Katy, to get the group dropped suddenly, really. I'd hate to think that "the Girls" who head this site would have done anything, because of the frustrations we've all made mention of?? But who knows . . . could have been just one of those flukey things within the computer world ~ So put your paranoia back into its hidey-hole, okay? You're doing a good job trying to keep everything straight here.

Hey! all ~ What a mess this group dropping is causing, heh? I'm so glad to hear from Katy and get a new link to here! Thanks so much. (I just wonder who is initiating all the "updates" for CrochetVille, and if they really are needed?? 😕 ) Brenda ~ My goodness, girl, you have really gotten the snow!!! 😮 We've only gotten a couple of dustings, but no accumulation . . . so far. It snowed for about an hour yesterday morning, after having rained all day the day before and thru the night. But the temps are starting to drop from the 50-60*s that we've been having. Warmer weather put me into the Spring cleaning mode a little early, tho ~ LoL ~ so I got a lot done! I've also been getting in some baking time, too . . . lots of goodies around the place now! LoL It's been nice taking over my kitchen again from Chef Morton ~ LoL

LoL ~ I love your Hairy Harry, Mary Jo! The kids will love this fella for sure! (you know you're gonna have to make a BUNCH of these guys, right? ) He sure brought out the "hide-n-seek" members here, heh?

I think you're at the old page here, KatyAllen ~ We aren't here any longer.

Oh, okay ~ That sounds great! Hope you can get 'er going again . . . can hardly wait to read all the wishes ~

Congratulations! BabyPoohsMom ~ on being a Bag Lady! Love your tote, and what a nice Christmas gift, too ~

Hope you have a wonderful day, too, Mary Jo. Many of us wish we were there in Florida right now . . .

I was just thinking, Terri? Can you start a new thread for the Wish List, and then each of us post our list in it as a "comment" or post?? Not sure how it worked before, been too long to remember for me. Maybe that would take the burden off of one person trying to keep up with changes or wishes being fulfilled? We'd be responsible for our own entries and updates, then ~
