No wedding date yet as far as I know of. Addison is trying to get 3 more teeth cut thru at once and readjusting her body clock back to schedule.She was kinda grumpy today but in much better humor after a good nap.

No date yet? Tell her it's a little late in the game to play hard to get.

Maybe she's doing like Mike & I did. We announced at the end of March that we were thinking about getting serious and that the wedding was in mid-May. That sure floored everyone!
Be prepared Miss Kathy!

Little busy today. Addison has a new tooth coming through along with a few more just giving her fits I think. REALLY cranky this morning, trying to be a good girl but it's hard to do when them teeth hurt. Matt came down and replaced the water faucets in the laundry room that go to the washer. They've been leaking for awhile and he decided he'd take care of it since he was off for a few days, between jobs. The new job he got starts in a week or so. They give him a truck, 11 or 12 bucks an hour and are going to pay for ALL his schooling that he's taking to learn the AC/Heating trade. He's already certified but is getting some more schooling on the commercial stuff. He went to Chris' house last weekend, took Chris a little outboard. Of course they went fishing. Without me even. Caught a few nice red fish, some sheeps head and seas trout. All good eats. Miss Kathy can probably fill you folks in more than me, since I am PLUMB wore out. I work every nite this week, then off Sunday, work Monday, and off Tuesday and wednesday. Going in Tuesday Morning at 6:30 am for another EGD and throat stretching. It's getting hard, real hard to swallow again. I took wednesday just to rest. If I don't feel upto it, I'll take thursday off too. ;D ;D

Throat stretching??? I don't EVEN want to know how your doctor's gonna do that! Does he at least kiss you first? ;D ;D

Nah, no kiss first but all the happy drugs he wants. ;D.Then I get to drive him home and pour him onto the couch. He usually sleeps pretty good after that.But I have to watch before we leave the hospital, he's been known to carryout some interesting stuff, like the oxygen tubing saying "It'll make good fishing stuff.The thing is, once he's coherent again, he can't remember why he wanted it to begin with!!!Don't get me wrong, I pick on him but wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. I also want to extend a big thank you to all his friends on here who kept his spirits up and the caring when we went thru the worst of the cancer ordeal.

I suppose, that oxygen tubing must have all kinds of useful purposes at home. One time, I was visiting mom in the hospital and her room mate wanted the nurses to save all the empty IV bags so she could use them at home for a drip watering system for her houseplants. She told us she already had about 100' of tubing to add on to what was already on the bags. She even told us that when she was down in the ER, she "got ahold of" an OB kit. Supposedly, the speculum makes a good shoe stretcher. Maybe if you have really small feet. I feel devilish if I take a couple of rubber gloves or some of those x-long Q-tips. The Q-tips are great for cleaning the heads on the VCR!

Ms Kathy's very own table got me ta thinking about stuff from long ago..back when I was just a young'n...and no matter what else I tried to think of, memories of Chocolate Milk and and home made cookies or donuts popped back to the front of the old brain pan...we, my older brother and I, would spend a week at Grandmas house every summer//and my Uncle Tom used to show up around 8 in the evening with a gallon of this deliriously delicious brown liquid...we'ld sit there and drink the stuff and scarf down Grandma's cookies until it was time for bed..he'ld tell us stories and jokes and just talk..it was a wonderful time in life...I don't think I have ever drank Chocolate milk sense without thinking of those days and the red and white checkered table cloth that covered that table....material wise the table is long gone, so is Grandma...but the memories are there..Tom now lives far away and we don't get to see much of him...but I think I know who to go see come this Aug..taking along a gallon of chocolate milk..just in-case anyone is thirsty ;D

I must confess as well TT. When I was reading over it I got a little misty remembering Grandma Foreman's and summer vacations. I don't really know if it's my childhood, my playmates, or just the era in total that I miss so much. But I'd sure give up ten years of life to be able to have one more piece of Grandma's fried bread a glass of fresh whole cow milk chilled in an oak ice box and a snuggle down under a pile of hand made quilts!

Brian I think I'll wait until I get one of those forwarded forty nine times, with a 14 gigabyte attachment that threatens death and destruction if I don't send it on! I'll forward that to you. Now about these donuts.... Aren't you the waspy fly butt that had trouble gaining weight? This needs some splainin'! ;D

Still working on the weight gain. Maybe some of them homemade donuts would help..... ;D I know we're have a roast turkey for Sunday dinner. Matt may come down too. Hmmmmmm, might have to sneak some bites while I carve it. I hope he don't get in a fight with the dog over the carcus again..... ;D

Brian,
Maybe you ought to slip the dog a few peices when you carve too. Could just save his life, cause if he and Matt are fighting over the carcass, Matt might eat the dog by mistake ;D ;D ;D

All this "Turkey Talk" ;D ;D ;D ;D I cooked a small (15#er) today in a garbage can..tried to take some digitals of it....alas no pics...finally,with some help of the co-ordanates 7yr old daughter) figured out why it wasn't taking pics...I guess someone took the card with her when she left...another fellow there was taking pictures but he didn't get the step by step I wanted...next time (I hope)
That's another thing about my Granny's table I remember as a kid..reaching an age and getting to eat at the adult table ;D ;D ;D

Oh wow! I remember getting to sit at grandma Collier's table to eat for the first time. We were'nt allowed in her kitchen very often. You had to "earn" the privilage. But thank goodness she never threw any of those Sears & Roebuck catalogs away! She'd stack about eight of them up on a chair, then plop me down on top of them. I felt so grown up because I was sitting higher than anyone else.
I got to thinking about my grandma Scheiderer's table. It's the same worn out table that I have now. She bought it new from Sears when she had her new home built. I can vaguely remember when I was about 2 or 3 an incident on that table. The table couldn't have been more than a couple of months old. Mom & dad had some kind of meeting they had to go to one night, so I spent the night at grandma's. The next morning, while I was still sleeping, grandma went outside to do her morning chores. While she was out, I woke up. Well, I must have been hungry and thought I'd make myself breakfast. There was always a jar of jelly and honey and a loaf of bread on her table. I can't remember it, but everyone reminds me that I managed to get the lids off both jars and ripped open the bread bag. The honey got knocked over and was dripping through the crack in the table and right down through the big floor grate that was under the table. But not until I rolled the upset jar back and forth like one of those roly-poly toys and smearing it around with my body. The jelly jar ended up on the floor and I'd rolled it all over the floor and slid around in it too.
By the time grandma got back in with her basket of eggs and apron full of pears and cut flowers, the entire kitchen was a mess! She told me one time that I was standing in the back doorway, stripped down naked, with honey, jelly and bread stuck all over me. I cleaned up quick with the garden hose then got a good lashing all the way back to the house with a willow switch. But it took a couple of months before she got the table and the rest of the kitchen completely cleaned up from my little mess.
It's no wonder that every time I go to mom or grandma whining about some mess my kids made they just laugh at me saying "You know what they say about paybacks!"
