Hahaha! That was a good skit!

JSM: So glad Josef's eye is better. I made Josef a special New Year's Eve avatar. I'll post it when you want.

Hi to all the busy monkeys today!

Yes they do. I have some carvings made from the Narwhal tusk.  It is a northern thing.

Spent the day baking yesterday and helping a friend.  Then spent last night going to 5 stores to find a tree stand as I killed ours on Sunday.  Never did find a stand.  Guess with the artificial trees stores just do not carry a large supply of stands anymore.  Torn between decorating the tree with it leaning against a wall or just saying scr@w it.

More baking to do today as well as candy making.  Kids love peanut brittle so that is on the list for the day.

Rose, why don't you just nail the tree to a stable piece of wood? Sure, it won't get water...but it should be okay like that thru the weekend at least. Better than no tree at all.

Hi Northern Rose!

Sounds like another busy day for you.

Son finally took off for the beach today to visit his friends. It was scheduled for the weekend, but we had a pesky lil thing they call a blizzard over the weekend and it had to be postponed.

It is nice and quiet in my house today. Only thing I have to do is take neighbor to the store since his cars are buried under snow. He needs to get to the grocery store.

I have been trying to McGiver the stand back to life.  I am such a dangerous person with garden pruners.  Our stand is (was) a big bowl with 4 nylon cords coming out of the bowl evenly spaced.  You then put a chain around the trunk, hook the cords to the chain and then tighten each cord so the tree is held and to straighten it.  We got it up, I went to go prune the bottom bows, should have had my glasses on but did not, cut a cord by mistake, tree goes tip and falls.  I am going to try to find something with the same thickness of the cords to replace the one I cut through so the clamps will hold on the end.  Going to a craft store later to see what I can come up with .  If not it goes in the corner and I only have to decorate the 3rd of the tree that is not against two walls.  Just means moving furniture around again.

Good afternoon, monkeys.

I just posted a veggie sidedish recipe in the food/recipe section.  It's a really good recipe for marinated green beans and peas, which is delicious with ham.  It's fairly simple to prepare, but...boy...is it good!  I've gotten many compliments on this recipe over the years.  And...best of all...it just gets better day-after-day.

Enjoy!

So glad to hear you weathered the storm.  I have been watching the next big one that is supposed to be coming through different states now.  Do they even have snow shovels in some of these places?

I just took a peak at your recipe and it looks nummy! I bet it would be really good with fresh cilantro sprinkled over top.

Good Afternoon, I survived the eye appt and Walmart. Glad to be back in my quiet house.


Northern Rose, could you use one of the bungie cord things to fix the tree stand?
