THANKS GUYS!

Peanut Butter Pie

Two weeks ago I went to the Dentist to get a crown. While the Dentist was grinding my tooth down to a nub his assistant Shelly was telling me she'd made two peanut butter pies the night before and had given one to her in-laws. Later I mentioned to my sister Patty what a nice girl she was to do that. My sis who's an avid baker and always looking for new recipes response was"get her recipe" LOL
I said"you want me to call the office and say tell Shelly I need her peanut butter pie recipe?" Patty's response "yes". Well I waited until they called to remind me of my appointment Fri, and ask the receptionist if she would give Shelly the message. She laughed said" sure". So here's the recipe. I made the pie yesterday and it got good reviews from DH and grandson Nick. DH had two pieces last night which almost never happens.

Stacy said some other trick and treater ask if Ted was suppose to be a mustard bottle. LOL.

Dawning of a New Era?

I hope so. This has been such an ugly campaign I've rec'd so many political hate emails I've been afraid to express my position for fear of losing all our friends. But now it's over and I hope we can all come together and work for a better world.
And just in case your curious I did vote for President Elect Obama. I truly think he's a good man and wants the best for our country. May god bless and guide him.

Some Up Dates

First- a fun project the pillow cases I made for Fox,Cece and Patrick. The fairy fabric was given to me by a friend and I immediately thought of Cece,she loves pink. I used the same pattern I used to make pillow cases for the troops.
Second- remember the little chair I got for my sis .Well it seems Peanut our cat has claimed it. He likes to sit on it like a little prince pondering his realm.
Third - I case your wondering we survived the cookies. They were fine. I thought they had lost a little flavor but the guys said they didn't think so.
Fourth- The dreaded TO DO LIST
clean closets-DONE
Really nice to have them clean. Got rid of a lot of old linens,clothes,shoes, cleaning products and unused or broken (some day planned to fix) Nick-knacks. I had to open the closets and peek in this morning just to admire their tidiness (smile)

The dreaded "TO DO LIST"

Being sick a lot for the last year I've got behind in a lot of things. And since we're expecting a house full of company for thanksgiving I thought I should do a little catching up. So... for the next two weeks I will put quilting aside and do some purging .

Clean out closets
Take old stuff to Salvation Army
Clean cupboards inside and out.
Straighten basement and haul some junk to the dump
Wash woodwork in big bathroom.
Wash down the hall doors
Damp mop hardwood floors.
Wash the windows

Yuk, I'm getting tired just thinking about it. Maybe instead I'll just go get the bag cookies curl up and finish reading the" Lace Reader"
