Busy busy...

Tonight is the 9th Annual Christmas Euchre Party. It's something that my hubby & I look forward to every year.

We need to take a snack, & of course as every year, I am making chocolate chip cookies. How can I not... everyone loves them.

I am not sure if I've shared before... but a friend even says they're better than his mom's! That I take to the bank, because I've had his mom's before... & I think they're wonderful! :o)

Hubby tries to say it's because of my Kitchen Aid mixer... I say nope... it's because I use REAL vanilla... not the imitation stuff! & What I use is "double strength"!!! So, it gives out a great flavor.

Plus I use Nestle Toll House chocolate chips & that recipe. (Adjusting tiny tads here & there.)

I swear though... I've never made a batch the same way twice! LOL.

Anyway I'll try to get some pictures and maybe even a video.

Toodles... lots to do yet! :)

9th Annual Euchre Party

Start:	Dec 13, '08 5:00p
End:	Dec 13, '08 11:00p
Location:	Mid, OH

Fun; food; & fellowship to be had by all in attendance.

Chance for the ADULTS to get out!!

I did it again!

I swear, stairs and me just don't get along anymore.

Earlier today I was going UP the steps to get ready for Grammy's party when I slipped... Twisted my back. Oh no... OH YES!!! At least I didn't LAND on it! So, I called Mike & my sister... & made arrangements for her to get him. I didn't think I was going to make it.

Well, after talking to my mom, who basically said I needed to at least make an appearance. Even if I didn't stay long. Well, that was about 1:00p.m. ... & the party was over at 3... well... I made it by 2:50p!! (People were still there... & Grammy was too.)

I gave her, her gift from Dave & I... a pair of Christmas slippers. (they're cute!)

There were a TON of Red Roses in vases & they were giving them away. My mom made sure I took a few... I was only going to take one, but she hands me 4!

Oh... & sorry, no pictures... My battery died on my phone. I forgot all about it 'til I went to leave & then I saw it had died. Don't worry though... I'll try to get some outdoor shots of the place later... seeing how it's down the road from the farm & all.

Anyway, I just wanted you all to know that, if you don't see me around tomorrow... I may just be sleeping & trying to ward off the back pain. (At least I'm sitting up right now! But not to last much longer.) Going to check my messages & I'm going back to a fetal position... well, ok, just laying down! LOL! :)

Toodles all!

90 years young... NEED EVERYONE'S HELP, please...

Well, tomorrow (Sunday) we will be celebrating Grammy (as I will now refer to her from now on... My sister Gina has started that... & I rather like it!) 90th birthday. (Her official one is a few days away.)

I wasn't looking forward to going... with all the people & all... but now that it's snowed quite a bit today (couple inches) it's looking very Christmasy out there... & the place the party is going to be at is up in the "woods" sort of.

All I know is that it's going to be a beautiful site.

One draw back. Got to pick up Mike on my way. UGH! He's been a bit of a pistol lately. I mean non stop... & I don't mean interesting chatter either. (GEESH Dad... I was NOT that bad when I was growing up... & I know I was NOT that bad when I was 19!!!!)

So, anyway... this is my official request for birthday greetings for my Grammy (on the far left in above photo, btw)... HOWEVER... please... no graphics, for I am going to have to read them to her. She will not be able to see the screen that well.

Also, would you please put what state (or country) you're from. She will get a kick out of it all... that she's getting greetings from all around the world.

You do NOT have to give an exact location. Just an approximate area. :o)

Thanks a bunch... & I hope you all are able to see this & comment without any problems. I know Multiply has been having a little problem the past 24 hours... I hope that someone has finally kicked that server.

Toodles & HUGS!!

SHHHH .... It's a surprise... PARTY TIME ON MONDAY...

At some point on Monday I will be posting a blog to honor our favorite Purple Angel's (Quiet Warrior / Mama Di) birthday... ... not sure just yet how we'll keep it a surprise until she arrives... I'll figure it out!

Anyway, Caghs wanted me to get the word out early... So... now, I ask you to help me... will you please pass the word along.... Let's make this a big party for her! :o)

Please do NOT .... I repeat do NOT put this in a mass message... put it in a blog (as this one is) & below your "tags" is "access"... click the circle next to "individuals" & then click whom you wish to see the blog... MAKING SURE you do NOT choose Mama Di. And make sure your blog is NOT public as to where she might see it!!!!

If you've never been to a blog party... it's a hoot! Actually it's just like a big chat session!! :o)

Also, please don't anyone tell her about this... we want it to be a SURPRISE!!! Thanks!!! :o)

I've been to 2 official Christmas parties & 1 Christmas Craft night... Glad I made it to all 3. However, last night party really wore me out. So, I will blog tomorrow about all the fun I had the past few weeks! :)
