Gonna take my glasses back, which i really hate to have to do. But, get it over with. I'm the type of person, if there's something to do, do it, get it behind you. lol. I've had to wait for the holliday weekend to be over with is why i haven't already done it.
Maybe, i'll make it back later. But, in the meantime,
HAGD
4PM,,
Caught the comment from Sis,,and yeah, i know about keeping raw potatoes in water, but,,,i had a 5 lb bag! lol. Used to soak em in salty water, make crispy french fries,,yummm. I have a ceramic peeler, works good, just in case u want to know. lol. Not a knife, a vege peeler. BTW,,TY!! for what u said about my blog.
Saw where BB's hooking it right on down the road. Be there in time to catch HIMSELF some of those fish...And cook em with the tails, on the bone...Heck, i know where the bones are, not gonna choke on one. Same with chickens. Cleaned enough of both. Always told my bros,,don't throw those fish back, bring em to me, i can clean one in a second. Well, maybe 2 or 3. Got slow in my ol age. U also clean a cat fish before u cut the head off, gotta hold it when ur skinning it. Guess that's called skinning it alive, but,,,i do it fast,,,,,
Got some more glasses ordered,,,A,,,Gain,,. She was gonna let them know, i'm picky,,,lol. Well,,,hells bells, why not?? When one eye's clear and the other is blurry? In the new ones. She also told me this same place does all the prescriptions for lots of other places. Not just for Walmart.
Been a beautiful day. Didn't take, nor need, a jacket. Had to run the ac some, on the way back. I was sitting in the sun.
Grabbed a few things in the grocery section, and i was thru. Got the 2 things needed for that minestrone soup. Too many leftovers still, so it'll be a few days before i cook it.
OK,,,outa here again,,,before dark.
Cya tomorrow.

Best Darn Fish in TX
Sure late today, getting this done. Was reading the blogs, and my phone rang, was my friend, Sue, saying come on over for fish!!!,,,Didn't have to say it twice,,i was up and gone. Best darn fish i've eaten in years. Catfish, caught out of Lake Buchanan, and NOT filleted. It's just better cooked on the bone. So,,i ate,,,and i ate,,sat there a while with her, too,,and we ate some more. lololol. We both have the lap band, and can't eat much, have to eat slow. With that fish, tho,,was her home made rolls, (best ever), and a crock pot of beans with ham bone. YUMMMM. Plus a few left overs from Thursday. Like slaw, jello/cool whip thingy. They had even cooked the TAILS!!! OMG,,,I ate at least 3 of those. She ate one later, and went, yummmmmm,,,so i'm not sure if she had ever eaten them. Some had been filleted, but not close, so those bones were cooked too, and that was what i was eating,,had the tail on the pieces i got.
I needed a nap so bad, but,,,not this late. So i'm sitting here, barely able to keep my eyes open.
Saw where BB is ON THE WAY!....Wind will blow him down here fast. I'm like that too, why wait??,,,Said he had everything ready when he first posted. That traveling is lots better than sitting there waiting to leave. Gonna miss his posts tho.
Gonna go out to the park, check up on the geese...lol,,,they know me, come running, like i have food. I do take some when i have it.
Yall tc,,and

Love These Bloggers, Can Make My Day
I had to laugh til i had tears, over those comments on yesterday's blog...lolololol. BB and Hobo are truly fun people. (And don't take me serious, TG)...
And Hobo, i really do remember that blog,,just had to say that. hahahahaha,,you know,,senile, at my age. Well, half the time anyway. hahahahaha.
It rained sometime last nite, i heard it, but didn't know what time it was, and don't know how much we got. It was raining hard, and i just turned over and went back to sleep. DARN,,need a rain gauge. Wind's blowing pretty good now, out of the N. Got my wind chimes singing.
BB was talking about his declawed cat. Made me remember the first siamese i bought. It was in Round Rock, and we stopped there on the way back from Austin. The kittens were 8 weeks old and the lady told us it had had a bath, and it's nails clipped. My 14 yr old son, muttered to me, that'll be the last time!! We got the runt female, without the papers, i wasn't interested in that, just wanted the siamese. (They raised show cats). Well, anyway,,,we named her Sassy, and from that day forth, if she was in the bathroom with me, and i turned the tub water on,,she WAS GONE. One time she was on my lap when i was painting my nails, and kept sticking her nose in,,so,,i painted hers!,, lololol,,From that day on, i just opened that bottle,,she WAS GONE. Same with the water gun,,i used when she was really bugging me, runing under my feet with me trying to cook, tripping on her. A one time shot was all i ever got,,just pump once,,gone.
Had that same blood line for years and years. 2 of them were the smartest cats i ever had, or saw. One had cancer, and then his son,, just disappeared. Just about killed me to lose him. I know someone stole him. He's the one that would follow you like a dog.
My couch and chairs always had stuffing showing on the front of the arms. But,,my cats kept their claws! Now there's a spray to use to keep them off and it works. I even put scratching posts in front of the couchs or chairs,,didn't work. My little Jude is a good kitty, he doesn't do that. He's so mild mannered.
No plans on for today,,and i know it's Saturday too!!,,(already looked). lololol. Right now i need to get up from here and make a move. Look like i'm doing something, u know. Hear Jude knocking, wanting back in.

Thank God, Back to Normal!!!
Back to normal, being Friday. lol. Not going near a store today. Wanted to take my new glasses back, but,,,,,NO WAY. It just has to wait til next week.
WELL, %^#^$%**, my news isn't even on, today!!! NOT back to normal!!
Kinda wish i'd watched that UT-A&M game, TX winning with the clock running out with that field goal. Wow. Coming on at 7 here, made it over past my bed time. Which didn't turn out to matter, couldn't go to sleep again. Got up and read a while, after taking an Aleve.
Had a good time with all the family yesterday. Just lost $5 on moon. LOL,,,that was just one game. then they started poker and i never got the chance to win that back. Didn't play poker, came home and took a nap.
In the paper today, there's an article saying it's better to shop in the coming weeks, not today!,,This study was done over a period of 12 years, to back the claim up. Merchants will lower prices even more after today, to get rid of overstock, or things going out of date. Today just gets the ball rolling, better things to come. Since i have my shopping all done, doesn't matter to me,,,lol. Did all of mine online, mostly from a big catalog i had gotten in the mail, Lakeside Collections. Neat stuff in it. Good prices too.
BB, i'm really trying to spell out everything so you can read it. lol. <<< but that is,,,laughing out loud... hahahahah. Been doing the other for so long, just natural now. Loved your blog today, since i never knew all your past history.,
Just had oatmeal, and,, i have a big plate of leftovers from yesterday for later. There was a huge pot roast, a turkey, and a huge bone in ham my nephew smoked. 2 huge pans of dressing, then so many sides, have no idea what all. Not for sure, but guessing about 40 there. Took my camera and never used it. It was always,,,over there. Not handy. And, i was way over in a place not easy to get to, nor out of. So i never got the pics. There were 3 tables, big ones, set up for food. And ,,,filled up too. All this will be repeated for Christmas, but at the other bro's house. Lots more room there. It was my house for lots of years. I rented it for several years, (don't ever do that)!!. Then i finally sold it, then had to repossess it after a few years.. That's when he got it. It was like home to him, since he had been there all the time in his late teens, early 20s.
One time,,they told me,,my older son and him,,that when they came in late the night before, they had raided the fridge and found some left over steak in there and ate it. I told em, no,,no steak was in there. They insisted,,yes it was.. I finally remembered about a month earlier, i had cooked some chicken fried steak, and maybe i had put leftovers in there. hahahaha,,,They said they peeled off the green and white stuff, and ate it. They'd found it way in back of other stuff. LMAO...Well, from then on, they asked,,when did you put this in here?,,, Then one time, i had put some leftover chicken livers in there, and my son got them out, took a bite, and spit it all over the kitchen.,,,thot they were oysters. All my life i couldn't stand liver, then,,,one day in my 30s, my friend ordered liver and onions in a cafeteria and they sounded sooo good. From then on, i have really liked it. Smothered with onions,,maybe my fav. Can't hardly beat chicken fried chicken ones either, tho.
Enough of all my ramblings,,,yall tc (take care)

That Day, EVE
Gosh, don't wanna cook in the morning. I don't get my get-up-n-go til i've been up a good while. So, that means i gotta do all the prep and get those potatoes cooked before noon. A few years ago, i decided to make this HUGE pot roast, and i cook the meat with some seasonings on top of the stove in my waterless cookware, in it's own juices, before u put it and all the veges together and bake them in the oven, still, very little water. The taste is unreal. My bro loves it so much, he does it now. (hates turkey). Way back, i would do a brisket on my smoker, to get something besides turkey. YUMMMM. An aunt and uncle were with us one year, said they were gonna buy a smoker as soon as they got home,,,lololol. Mine was electric, u got it all set up, plugged it in, went back and took it off. I also did capons,,back when the kids could still raise them. They don't do that any more. For FFA. We would have some left over, made for gooood eating.
Saw that recipe for minestrone soup on rvsue's blog, gonna sure try that one of these days. lolo,, means grocery shopping. Love boiled cabbage, so i can use the other half too. Not much cooking either,,, lololol,,,my kind of recipe. uh,,,hate to tell off on myself, but,,,during my purge on spices, i also found this bag of noodles,,that when i moved it, powder kept pouring out!,,,hahahahaha. What a mess. Bugs had a good time in there,,,lmao. Last time i went thru the cans, some were stuck to the shelf...From leaks! OMG,,gonna do that today! Might find some of that stuff for the soup, that would still be good. Yall trust me on this? hahahahaha. Haven't eaten anything that killed me yet.
Gosh, was a major effort to get my 2 pans out, to cook the potatoes in. I can get them lined with foil, today. Been a long time, using big pans.
Ok, been just killing time,,putting off, but really need to get a move on, at least a little. Yall tc,, and

2 More Days!
Good Morning!,,Had a great electrical storm last nite starting about 1;30 am. Have no idea how much rain, don't have a gauge set up. My dotter asked for a list of things for Christmas and that was the first on it. All i can tell you,,,for sure, is the ground is still wet.
I've gotta go to the eye doc's office today, and see what's going on with my new glasses. Right now i'm wearing my old ones. Can read better. I'll do that after i eat,,,something,lolol. Think it'll be waffles.
It's NOT COLD,,,BB!!
OMG,,,just 2 more days til Thanksgiving! Not ready. How do i always lose track of time? All i can do with the potatoes i'm gonna cook, is wash them. Can't even cut them up ahead of time. So, probably won't be a blog that day. There's a 5 lb bag to do. Only major work is the chunking them up. My carpal tunnel syndrome gives me all kinds of trouble, doing things like that. Had to call my pharmacist,,AGAIN,,about the pill bottles i've started getting lately. Last week when i had to open one of them, my hand hurt for 3 days. So, not gonna accept them any more. They've just started doing that in the last couple of months. So, i've talked to the man, now it's up to them.
This new throw rug i put down under this rolling chair, shows every little speck i drop. Needs a brush off or vacuum every day, which it won't get. lol. My housecleaning is random. Not like my sis,,the clean freak. It'll get done when it gets done,,that's all there is to it. I've cleaned the inside of all my windows, except in the one room. Someday. Rarely in there, lol, so it doesn't bother me.
Caught up with my son late yesterday, gave him my donation for the kids. Sure enough, lol, he pulled out an envelope with writing all over it, and put it in there.
Ok,,gotta make a move, get on the ball, get my mojo working, so, yall
