How Old Were You?, In the Kitchen, and Sweetness

Image
 You ever seen those questions or videos where the person ask, "how old were you when you  learned _________? Well, I was 65, looking at 66 when I learned that, after popping microwave popcorn, you open a  really small section of the sealed area. turn it over and shake the bag. This my friends, and I have not  tried it, is to shake out those kernals that did not pop. WOW! You know that I will have to pop some popcorn and try this. Also, I recently learned that to make sausage balls, a the larger end of a melon ball spoon is great for that.  I was tired of trying to get my balls to  be the same size, so I grabbed my melon ball thingy and scooped up the mix, slipped it out and rolled it placing it on the  cookie sheet. Worked great. Talking about scooping stuff up, I learned a long time ago that for filling cupcake or muffin mix to put in the holder, you use an ice cream scooper. Great for cookies too. Did you know that the top  of a vanilla bottle ...

Good morning and  WELCOME  to a new year. Think I might work on  taking down all my Christmas decorations... the tree and the lights on the porch. Problem doing that, I did take most of my Halloween stuff down, only its still on the porch, I still gotta gather it all up and pack it up  also. I know, that is terrible and so not like me to do, Did you do anything special  for NYE? Me, yep, I moved from the end of  the couch to the center of the  sectional. Had a glass of peach wine, lights off, tv on, Christms lights on and my girls near me. Best NYE! On the health update. Two weeks ago I had a vit B shot, took four days and I  finally started to tell a little difference. However, there was  an issue with the script of iron. According to the message from  the nurse, posted to the portal, from the doc, a script of iron  was being called in. Doc appt was on Wed. but by Friday before Christmas it had not been called in. I checked again M...

This elf was tired on  Christmas Day so I sat  upon my rear while Amber finished up the meal. Yesterday I shared the group pic of us on Christmas day.  Cropped this one so that you could  see the whole outfit...except the hat, I forgot it and left it in the house.  I am showing this pic again with  you for a reason. I was looking at this pic last night  on FB when I saw something. I have my hand resting on Felicity's  shoulder, in which she reached up and  placed her hand over mine. Oh my, this girl melts my  heart.  That was not the only sweet thing this girl did on Christmas Day.  I sat in the floor with the greats as they opened their gifts. Each one so excited they kept calling  my name to look. After gifts were done, I continued to sit in the floor. Felicity walked around my back,  placed her hand on my shoulder, leaned over and kissed me on the  top of the head, and walked on. Wondering if she even realized...

Nashville State Capitol, Group Pic, The Elf

Morning, I am hoping  that you all had a great and Merry Christmas. It was great being with the family and watching the greats on  Christmas day... however, did I have the energy to find that Christmas spirit? No... I kept a smile on my face and  pushed on. But, actually glad it is over. Now to move on... 1940 Our state capital. Wow,  seeing it like this is strange and  knowing that just 38 yrs. later,  it was thriving and I was working just  across the street from this capital. None of those wooden ransacked buildings were left and there were high rise buildings all around.   Most folks are not aware, esp if you never visit Nashville  or taken a tour through the capitol, but in the  cold stone walls of our State Capitol  are the remains of two men.  When the powers that be, whomever they were wanted to build the  state capitol Nashville, they knew that they wanted a  big name architect to build it.  That is when...
