Crock Pot is always good for cooking beef! While consuming my lamb for lunch, I was telling Dad how I just love that restaurant because I can always find some wonderful dishes of meat there, both beef and lamb. They also have a terrific garlic chicken, and even rabbit, which I didn't care for as much just because those little bones are a pain to pick out.
BTW, I found that photo of my grandpa, great-uncle Phil, and Aunt Dorothy I mentioned earlier. I thought I had put it online!
ETA: And here's Alida and Jesse when they were married.
My grandfathers were Jesse and Edgar
My great grandfathers were - actually I only know the names of my paternal great grandfathers- Thomas (who I knew, he died when I was 9 or so) and Oliver. I never met Oliver, he and my great grandmother divorced when my grandfather was very young and he was Never Spoken Of Again. I only know his name because of some genealogical research my grandmother did (Oliver would have been her father in law). He was so Never Spoken Of that my grandfather didn't know how to spell his own last name and either didn't want to ask his mother or she wouldn't tell him, so when he started school he guessed and it's misspelled.
Aww, desert rain likes carrots!
Tidying up the office now. Hey, it's nice having office speakers set back up!
Does anyone want this set of spoons for Zoya Intimate?
Yes, please. Though I already have Marley. I'll happily mail them along to the next person too. I just want to see what they look like against my skin so I can covet the correct ones.
Great picture, Kathy, and great stories.
Man, you are going to get some GOOD sleep.
LeN, ha! Yeah... I may need to rethink that.
I have never smelled desert rain, and now I think I have to add it to my bucket list. Or, add it once I actually make a bucket list.
I have finally transitioned out of acrylic nails back to natural (did a couple of gel-in-the-color manis after the initial removal), and I'm pretty excited to have my nails back under my control. They still need to grow out a bit to get past the damaged part, but not too much longer. Finally remembered to buy nail polish remover today, too.
Look forward to playing with colors. It seems like there are several new brands on the market since I've done my own on a regular basis.
Oops, I was supposed to my nails tonight. I guess I won't be seeing anyone tomorrow who's going to care!
I've been horrible lately about caring for my nails. Tomorrow I should remedy that.
CJ is over at a friend's house and called to ask if they can pull an all-nighter. It is him and a couple of girls from the dojo. I can't believe I actually said yes.
My mom was considered to be the "cool mom" by my high school friends, especially after she agreed to a co-ed sleepover. None of us were hooked up with anyone else, so we just hung out, went for a walk around the block in the wee hours of the morning (more so that the smokers in the group could light a few away from the house than anything else), and then proceeded to chow down massively for breakfast the next morning. No hanky-panky, just friends hanging around.
I attended plenty of co-ed sleepovers and most of them were innocent (all innocent for me). Seriously, how much are you getting up to in someone's livingroom with other kids around! I say it is good for him! Good mom!
Loki's in a kitchen cabinet. How do I know? Because he's shoving dishes out so he can sprawl out further.
