Marisa- You are not watching Flyers/Bruins? It is tied 3-3 in the 3rd period- what a stressful game!! LOL

 

What is halushki? I never heard of it!

 

Oh, and I love HOUSE too- seems like we have a lot in common with the sports thing- just that we root for different teams- - My brother lives in PA- about 20 mi north of PHilly- he is an Eagles, Phillies and most of all Villanova BB fan! He has season tix to the Villanova BB games- it is his alma-mater!

 

Cindy- looks like you and Marisa have a lot in common with the purse collection thing!!! Me, I like collecting shoes!!:lol

 

Night all!

I wish I was watching the Flyers game, but I don't get Versus so I can't I searched through my tv guide 100 times and couldn't find it on another channel, which they usually do with the local stations.

 

Halushki is a Polish dish and it's what you probably know as cabbage and noodles? Only it's not made with noodle traditionally, it's with potato dumplings So yummy, but so not good for you as it's loaded with butter! I often root for Villanova since it's the closest, but have never been to a nova game.

Woohoo....go Flyers

 

I had to keep checking the score online!! I can't believe they pulled it off and I gotta hand it to them, the Flyers are good to rally a comeback.

Julie - it was fun answering the questionaire and reading everyone answer

 

Linda - I am so happy you like the afghan may it give you many hugs when you need it.

 

Iwani - your 63 sampler afghan is not only colorful but so pretty. Probably in the fall I'll work on mines.

 

Diane -I love how the blues in your RR go together so nicely. You did a great job on the feather and fan scraf I always wanted to try to knit that pattern but never got around to it. Your Citrus afghan look like it has been weaved on a weaving loom very pretty.

[JulieKay]

Marisa-

Gotta ask -what is halushki ???

 

Sounds like something they yell at the sled dogs up in Alaska to make them run .

 

 

I also LOVE purses. Don't care if I have any clothes or shoes, just purses .

 

 

I agree about the beach.Something about just sitting there and watching and listening to the water-- makes every problem you have seem so small .

[JulieKay]

Cheeria-

I LOVE Criminal Minds -- my favorite on the show is the blonde who wears the funny jewelry and clothes-- the computer lady .

We rarely watch it when it's on because we don't stay up that late, but I get the CD's of them and watch it .

 

Have you gotten to go on a cruise before ?

 

Your grandbaby making mudcakes reminds me of when cam was little -- he was maybe about 2 ,and we had a downpour of rain one day when he was here. when it stopped, me and him took our shoes off and went out stomping in mud puddles.

We really had fun that day .

[JulieKay]

Marisa-- you don;t have to answer again about halushki -- I saw that you answered later -- it sounds interesting -something I have never heard of before !

 

Joanne- CAKE would be my favorite dessert, no doubt, but for a MEAL, I thought I'd make a little more of a MEAT-TYPE choice .

 

 

LeAnna- you are having more fun ! Going on a yarn crawl ? That's a new one too. You'll have to come in sometime and tell us about your latest ventures .

 

And you could be a tour guide for your state ! You got lots of things listed your state is famous for ! Good job !!!

[JulieKay]

Howdy all -

 

Just a quick good morning to you all . Today is Cam AND my mom;s birthday so I will cal each of them soon . I can call my mom anytime now- they wake up real early like I do.

 

Cam, I will let sleep for a couple hours yet. don't want to wake them on their day off .

 

We will be going to the park today for his party. Not sure how long I'll be able to stay-- yesterday that wind blowing the pollen around gave me a pretty difficult breathing day,so I don't know how long I'll be able to be out in it today,but will at least go for a bit ,to watch him open his gifts.

 

His mom invited a truckload of kids, so it should be pretty ACTIVE with them all in one place !!!

 

Anyhow, on the crochet front- I am still working on the blooming brown ripple.. GEEZ LOUISE, I doubt I will EVER use brown again at this point. You work on it for HOURS and it is only an inch further along .

 

BUT... I'll keep at it and get it done ..

 

Please see next post about a NEW IDEA I HAVE .

[JulieKay]

Hey ladies

How about if we play this new game : How Observant Are You ?

Keep track of my posts all weekend long . Be very ALERT ,and take note of each post ,because there will be something (or more than one thing ) in each post I make that will possibly be odd ... different ... etc.

Just put a notepad beside your computer and see how many things you might spot that are unusual, different ,etc in my posts.

THEN on Sunday night, I will post a questionnaire in here . First one to PM me with the right answers is the winner !

What will you win ? The satisfaction of saying you won .

Best prize I can give you right now ...

So,be alert . There were already some things in THIS post.

Did you NOTE THEM ?

[imanurse55]

Good morning!:birthday to Cam and Julie's Mom!

 

Got up late this morning (well, late for Me- probably early for the rest of the world:lol)

 

Anxiously awaiting posting of Julie's new idea!

 

LeAnna- A yarn crawl to 8 yarn shops sounds like lots of fun. Can't wait to hear all about it- enjoy!!!

 

OH, I see Julie just posted the new idea- let me go check it out!

[imanurse55]

Ok, I think I noted the things in Julie's post that were different- but of course, once again no notepad near me. But I will make it a point to go get a notepad next time I sign on and keep it right here next to me!!

 

I'd better get hopping and get ready for my hair appointment! I'll BBL

 

Make it a wonderful Saturday!!!

[JulieKay]

Good Morning JoAnn -

 

Hope you get your new hairdo looking spiffy this morning ! Get your pencil and paper out because each post this weekend, I will have items in them that will need to be taken note off, or you'll never remember them all.

Good luck ... you may just be the most observint in the group ,only time will tell !!!

 

*Thanks for wishing the Happy birthdays to my mom and Cam ~~

[imanurse55]

We'll see about how observant I am ----and you are so right- without paper/pencil, my memory isn't worth much these days!! LOL

 

Gotta scoot or I'll end up being late- and I always insist on the first appt of the day so I don't have to wait around!!!

 

BBL

[Gardener]

Cindy- looks like you and Marisa have a lot in common with the purse collection thing!!! Me, I like collecting shoes!!:lol

 

Night all!

Joanne, when I was in high school I worked in a shoe store and I had a big thing for shoes then. I still have quite a number of shoes, but it's nothing compared to my purses. I use all the purses, but I pretty much always rotate between the same 4 or 5 pairs of shoes. I probably should get rid of the rest of them.

[Gardener]

Good morning everyone. It looks like it will be a nice day here. I have to do some housework today, even though I'd rather be crocheting or gardening.

 

We are going to dinner with friends tonight and then they are coming here for dessert.

 

I haven't had any coffee yet, so I only remember half of what I read this morning.

 

Julie, happy birthday to Cam and your mom. Hope you can spend a little time at Cam's party without discomfort.

 

I forget who mentioned the "cat who" books, but I like them too. I'm busy listening to them in audip book form. The only one I really didn't like was the last one of the series. (The Cat Who had 60 Whiskers.)

 

Well, time to go back to Julie's posts and see if I can figure out the challenge.

[JulieKay]

Good morning Cindy -

How are you today ?

Did you complete the pink afghan you were working on yet ?

I looked at your blog and saw the recipe for crockpot spaghetti sauce. It sure looked good !

 

I have a crockpot, but rarely use it . I don't know WHY, because they are handy gadgets, but I just don't .

 

I don't guess I need a crockpot for spaghettios ,but you could probably use it for them if you wanted to .

Hope you enjoy your day !

[JulieKay]

Cindy-

 

What are you making for desert tonight ? CAKE ?

 

 

Thanks for the birthday wishs !

 

Enjoy your day ,your diner tonight and time with your frends. Sounds like you have a good day ahed of you .
