JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #19 8/05/10 - 8/27/10

[Northern Rose]

Well hopefully the police presser today in Kyron's case will say something important.

I hope so NRCG.  The last one was a waste of time.

It sure was. This case is the most confusing one for me, I'm usually opinionated with what I think happened, not this time. I'm baffled, and think there is more going on here then what meets the eye.

I have no idea. Besides Terri knows what happened. But her friends have circled their wagons around her that's for sure. It hasn't helped that LE and everyone has been so tight lipped about every thing. Nothing at all has been said one way or another. So that leaves so many possibilities for everyone to think and talk about.  Really am hoping that they say something today.

I hope they aren't just going to talk about the new flyer.  Now of this makes sense to me and the more I think the worse it gets  I'm running back and forth from the garage and trying to sort out a bunch of knick knacks that I want to keep but don't want to put in the house. If I did, the entire house would be one giant knick knack. I have so many doilies it isn't funny, so many belonged to my mom, and then I have bought so many at thrift stores and antique shops. If someone came in here and observed all the doilies they would think I'm a woman of 80  Have very old fashioned taste.

I love doilies, they bring back fond memories. I love old fashioned things, I call them vintage, we like "vintage" things. 

Me too.  When my MIL passed she had so many beautiful doilies and runners and hand work from her mother and grand mother.  I so wanted a few but my SIL took them all.  Found out later she garbaged them.  I cried as they were all made with love and some of it is a lost art like the old tatting and cut out work she had.

Northern that is wonderful that your son is doing so well    And I love the idea for your daughter's birthday, a half birthday so she and her friends can enjoy a pool party. Sure wish that I would have thought of that when the kids were younger, they were both born at Christmas, and I think they always felt cheated. The kids should have a great time at the party, you will be exhausted though

Northern that is just awful what your SIL did, by throwing all those lovely things away    It is a lost art for sure

I know I will be exhausted as the first half of the party is co-ed then the boys leave at 9pm on Saturday and the girls sleep over.  Not sure why I agreed to this but I did.  Same with the tie dying.  I am betting I will have a multicoloured lawn and really hope it works out.  Getting fabric die from Michael's and some squirt bottles so they can do funky designs.  She already has asked for home made pizza for dinner and of course he favourite cake which is a a honey cake.  I have already traded one neighbour some of my garden cabbages for a jar of fresh unpasteurized honey from their hives.

Thank you all for the welcome back!

Son is doing really well.  Stitches came out on Friday     He is moving around and eating lots all day long which is good.  He has walked down to the lake/slough with my daughter a few times now so she could catch some minnows and bring up water for her crawfish she caught this summer.  We are minus quite a few mice as he has been pegging them with his paintball gun when he sees them.  Has a chair set up in his favourtie shooting spot.

He even tagged along yesterday for back to school shopping with us to Staples.  Does not want to head to Walmart with me this afternoon for runners and the last of the lists as well as a bunch of white cotton tees.  I don't blame him.

Daughter is having her 1/2 birthday party this weekend.  With having a winter birthday she has never had the chance to have a pool party so that is what we are doing. I am heading to Michael's to get some fabric die and have all the kids tie dye a shirt as their goodie bag treat as tie dye is coming back strong.

Then I have 6 or her closest friends sleeping over (I will need some of this  as they are all in the hormone tube right now)

That is a good idea to have a half birthday party.  My daughter's BD is Dec 18th.  It was hard to have a birthday in the winter and at Christmas so a summer party makes total sense.  I hope she has a good time.  How could your son not have an appetite with a mother who cooks like you?  I would play sick just so I get even more goodies.

I have been cooking and baking nonstop so that he has stuff to munch on when he opens the fridge.  Making all of his favourite stuff and he is eating it so it is a win win lol.

How could she?!!  That is a cardinal sin.  What a shame she didn't cherish the hard work and sentiment that went into those doilies.

Your daughters were born at Christmas time too?

My granmother tatted and made beautiful doilies. My sister made pillows out of them for each of us to have in our bedrooms.

I don't think I could turn down anything you make Northern.  All that wonderful food has no doubt helped your son in his recovery.  I hope he continues to feel better and better.  I will be making your baked beans for a family reunion the last weekend in August, nummmmm.  I have to make the rhubarb yet but will soon.

Northern!!!

     

We missed you. So sorry about your router/modem. Electronics are in danger when there is lightning, for sure.

Glad you got back, and glad your son is doing so well!

Good news.

[Northern Rose]

Thanks Brandi!  It was a strange adjustment not to have internet.  My one neighbour still does not have her landline fixed from that hit of lightening.  When she picks up the phone she can hear conversations on her phone that are not hers now and still can not dial out . It really messed up the cables but good.  I am just glad that it stopped at the router and did not fry the computers.

You are actually quite lucky that did not happen.

So are we. Because you are back now!

I know I will be exhausted as the first half of the party is co-ed then the boys leave at 9pm on Saturday and the girls sleep over.  Not sure why I agreed to this but I did.  Same with the tie dying.  I am betting I will have a multicoloured lawn and really hope it works out.  Getting fabric die from Michael's and some squirt bottles so they can do funky designs.  She already has asked for home made pizza for dinner and of course he favourite cake which is a a honey cake.  I have already traded one neighbour some of my garden cabbages for a jar of fresh unpasteurized honey from their hives. 

Oh I'm sure the lawn will be multi colored by the time the tie dying is done    This will take more chaperoning with boys and girls there I'm sure  and wouldn't be surprised when the boys go home they will sneak back to see what all is going on later, just part of that age. The cake sounds so good and homemade pizza the kids will sure enjoy. Hope the weather is good and not too hot.

Your daughters were born at Christmas time too?   

Yes, and we tried to make it special, but one before and one after Christmas, so the youngest right after did feel cheated. Everyone was tired from Christmas and it was hard to get all excited with her birthday. Sure wish that I would have thought of the half birthday and had the parties in the summer, darn it

How beautiful, and I remember when I was little, the embroidered dish towels and pillow cases that my grandma's friends seemed to all do. Use to do that myself when I was younger, it is a nice and peaceful hobby.

I have been worried about the girls sneaking out as well.  Riley is a great sneak alarm and will freak if the girls leave the house of if the boys come back.  He has a big boy bark so there is no way they can keep him quiet.  They have no chance with the early warning Riley alarm lol.

You will have to let me know how they turn out.  I hope you like the recipes.

[no rose colored glasses]

That's good that Riley will give a good bark if there is any sneaking out
