So It's Barney!!

   I never would have thought my grandson would have been a Barney fan, but he truly is.. Everything he has seen on TV , and he always  wants Barney.That big purple dino has won his heart , I expected it to be Big bird, because he loves the color yellow. Nope its a purple dino.lol  It's all good though, Barney is a good Dino lol.   I need to see who still carries the plush  sock  slippers , like the ones  we carried  when I worked at Hills department store in 1995. I remember putting out case after case of those slippers, seemed like it was daily, at Christmas time.  I even had nightmares about them, I dreamed that i put my hand in the case and they came to life and were attacking me, then I woke up and had to go back to work putting out more of them.  Was relieved when I reached in the box and nothing happened. LOL!!  So much for Barney...
   Well it is 73 degrees out  today,  they say it is supposed to hit 80. I hope so, we might get rain tomorrow, actually need it the peanuts look a little like they could use a nice shower. The cotton doesn't look too bad.
  You know how I never listen and always get into little messes? Well I did it again, I told you we closed the pool down for the season, Right?  Well my sweetheart Howard told me I should use gallon jugs and hook them to the sides of the pool cover ,plus put the inner tubes in to hold up the cover .  I didn't do it and the cover is  mostly on the bottom of the pool , except for 2  parts that are still hanging on to the  railing... Oops, I did it again, one of these days I will listen, and save myself some time and work..LOL
  I made breakfast hoagies this morning, fried egg with chunks of ham, like you were  making  an omlet, fold it like that,  take the  wheat  hoagie rolls,  split them,  butter them, put cheese on them , slide them in the oven  until the cheese is melted .  Put the egg on it,  fold it , grab your drink and enjoy.  Howard was  doing his yummmmmmmmm.  He  was happy. So was I.  Thats about it for today.  Hope everyone has a nice day..

They were quite good . We added different flavors and chocolate chips , rasins, walnuts,  even added some nestles quick  flavoring.  They were very good.

my guy is a chef.

So i asked him what to write about ,10 minute meals for working people.here is the results...go to wal-mart or any super market. buy a fully cooked roasted chicken,then go to the produce department and  buy a bag of mixed salad. the chicken cost$6-7. the salad $1.50 and you have a meal for three or  four....microwave chicken 4 minutes and eat. you can also buy bbq nuggets,regular breaded nuggets,chicken strips,steak strips or any fully cooked foods. the average price per bag is $6.99. they serve 4-6 people. get some cole slaw about$2.49 a pound and your good to go. it is cheaper then ordering out and faster as well. there is 90 sec rice $1.39 average price. use your brain,look around and think,what you to can mix and match. since he does all the cooking(my very own chef) it is super for me. he also said if any one needs to make something what ever the dish.american ,indian either one,mexican,european just write me and he will get back to you on how.no need for your e-mail. i will put it on this site for all to read. p.s that includes deserts or cakes etc.  Being diabetic doesn't mean missing out on good food and great flavor.  Believe me, we have learned how to use  sugar substitutes and still taste great.  I will tell you my chef is the best , I really lucked out I got the best tasting meals and also a great guy too.  I think in the future  i  will take pictures of some of the dishes he makes , I will post them . 
   This is Saturday, my sister Judy called me to talk this morning, was a nice conversation,' love you sis!'  Thats about it for today .

Dogs do communicate with us .

  It is strange, but I  have found myself being awed by our 2 dogs.  Howard has a 8 yr old Collie shepherd  she is a female .  She has been spayed . Though I do not think it has any bearing on her intelligence. 
  I have a 6yr old American Eskimo male. He is  only 21 pounds and 16 inches tall at the shoulder.  He is not neutered,  He is sometimes very spitefull. But generally, we get along pretty well.  Both of these dogs have found out how to communicate with me.  I talk to them , and Howard  tells me to let him know when they answer me.  He is beginning to see that they do talk ,  with actions not words. Justice started it when he was almost a year old,  I am  diabetic  and use to have problems with extreme ups and down blood sugar levels.  Justice always seemed to know when my sugar wasn't right, he would bark at me until i  fixed it, then he would leave me alone.  I sleep with a bi-pap machine and once in a while  we lose power   Justice gets up by my head and paws me to wake me up. These are only a couple of ways he communicates with me,  Now  Sparkey , on the other hand , has this nose thing ,lol she comes over to me, takes her nose and nudges me with it , then walks  away , turns around , comes back and does the whole thing all over again. So I follow her to where ever she shows me , then I figure out what she wants.  They also take me to the dog bisquit  bag when they want a treat.  So yes people, our dogs do talk to us, we just have to pay attention.
