Weekend

We all had a great weekend. My parents to the grandchildren bowling Friday afternoon.
Mom said my dad threw a strike & won on the last frame. She was glad because Colin had
been leading for most of the game & was already bragging. No one would have been able to stand him if he won. Mom said next to the last frame my nephew said ok he was going to
throw a strike. He did. Colin's turn he knocked down 8 pins & has a split. He picked up the split.
I could just envision him jumping all over the place.
All 3 of the grandkids spent the night. I called Saturday & Colin was too busy to talk to me.
My nephew left but my niece was still at my parents & Colin stayed Saturday night & went to church with them. My niece went home. I called Sunday about 3 to see if he was ready to come home. He said he just got back from church. Church had been over for hours but I guess not in his mind. He told me he would think about coming home & would let me know when I called back. Hmmm In a few hours my mom called & told G Colin was ready to come home. I went & got him. He had an awesome weekend. So did we. I missed him terribly but it was good to be
childless just for a few days. Thank you Nana & Papa.

Deep Cleaning

I spent much of the day yesterday deep cleaning. I dislike doing it; but I love the results.
I'm getting the house ready for my Christmas decorations. Each year I'm not as prepared as I want to be. As a result I don't put up all of the decorations that I would like. I want this year to be different.

busy weekend

We had a busy weekend but a good weekend. It was good to see Fred. G's really good friend.
I also went to see Mamma Mia w/ a generous friend VK. The musical was wonderful. It was so good to get out of the house. I needed the break from the boys & football. We had family over
& played cards Sunday before Fred's flight.

Non dairy rice krispy treats recipe

1/3 c coconut oil
1 bag of mini marshmallows
6 c rice krispy
1/2 t butter flavoring

I coat my pan & spoon with oil. Pour oil in large saucepan, on low to med heat melt marshmallows. Slowly stir occasionally until all are melted, add flavoring. Add rice krispy & stir. I add 2 cups at a time. Spread mixture in pan. I cover w/ wax paper & press gently to level mixture.
Let cool, cut & eat.

I find the mini marshmallows melt faster than the large.

reuse recycle

I try to reuse or recycle my Styrofoam cups at work. For some reason the cleaning crew throws them away each night. OK no major biggie. But I draw the line when my blood pressure pills are missing. They were on my desk for 2 days & this morning I went to take one & they both were gone. UGH!

journal

I've had so much stuff going on lately. I'm using my personal journal today at lunch. Lunch is my hour a day that I do what I want. I have enough to write for an entire hour.
We had jammed pack holiday weekend. I need just a day for me! I need to do something for Colin to give my parents for grandparents day. He only has one set of grandparents so I want to make something they will love.
Colin has been loving using glitter glues. I think I'll let him decorate w/ some glitter glue.

I have a couple of blogs I follow. Many of them are gluten free, soy free or scrapbooking.
I just read on wheatless & meatless, there are now available gluten free tortillas. Yeah!!!
I miss eating tortillas & I don't love corn tortillas. Now if I can just find these brands in
whole foods. I'm sure they will order them for me if they don't carry them. I hope they
are not $7.00 a pkg. GF foods seem to be so much more expensive. That is the reason
I cook so much of it myself.

cool morning

I can tell fall is around corner. It was very cool this morning like fall.
I have to come up with a back up plan for my hair. I hate going into the cold & it's still wet.
