and close enough to a TOPPS I can try for that also, one post from me,

You did it! Sorry MzT...while you went to get us our coffee, I snuck off to Bean's gallery. It's a must see - her photos of the Flower and Garden Show are to die for!

Thanks for the leg up and over Vici.

You are rockin' and rollin' today, young lady!!

I will have to take a look and see. Love flower and garden shows, have not been to one in a while.

Our local one at the fairgrounds is pretty "small town" - not like the Melbourne one...

Well, I need to get moving today. I do still have chores to do birthday for him or not. I am almost on track, only one or 2 small leftovers from my list. See you later Vici and I have enjoyed the chat.

So glad I didn't see those pics before I did my puny rock wall yesterday - I would have been too depressed to go out into my yard!

Have a fun day, Tricia - and birthday greetings again to Al!

I would have to go to Birmingham to find one! Not a terrible trip, but we just do not get back up there since moving away. Hate the traffic and the hurry and impatience of drivers up there.

Glad you enjoyed my photos Vici...will try to rustle up some more...

Golly the time flys when you are going through photos... another 6 photos and now it is time for bed. Catch you in the morning.

Been to Bean's gallery and back again - wonderful pictures! A "must see"!

Hi Everybody. Slept through the entire morning, again. I've always said that I don't do mornings, if it can be avoided.
I hear you did get around to doing that rock retaining wall, Vici. It's always a great feeling to accomplish a project.
Nearly 1 pm.... time for my brekky!

Howdy Heidi! I'm just stopping in for a moment, but need to get some brekky here, too.

Good morning Ladies, Just got up to a girl, she seems to have gone back to sleep so I will do the same.

June, it's delightful to hear that Sharon has passed the wind and soft foods milestones. When she leaves the hospital, will you bring her home with you or will you be doing days at her house?

AL

With houses so close together in Oz I'm not surprised at the state of your driveway. But they should have left the mailbox alone. That's a federal offense here. You might want to check all down your property line. Alcohol infused vomit can kill some plants. Believe me, I know.
The flower photos on your page are lovely.

Hiya Ruby! I need to get outdoors...the deer are starting to come around again and I need to spray my "liquid fence" (boy that stuff stinks!) to keep them from eating up my yard.
But I did see you posts and wanted to touch base and see how you are doing.

Ruby - there must be an interesting story behind your knowing that alcohol infused vomit can kill plants!!!

Anyone here have experience canning pie fillings with modified starches such as Perma-Flo or ClearJel?

Frequently, the packages themselves have directions and even recipes on them. If not, check the company's website, Plum. We've got the pooters: may as well use 'em.

I neglected to address Bean with the post above. Sorry.

Good morning, Heidi.

Vici, I was young and foolish when I learned that. The story is too obvious to tell.

But I will tell this one........

Thanks, Heidi. I've been looking for recipe information and manufacturer's websites for hours last night and this morning. Owing to its being Sunday, no one's open to call help lines. I'll have to wait until tomorrow if I can't get an answer from someone on one of my message boards.

Plum, I would help if I could, but can't imagine tackling canning!

Ruby, that's just teasing! Where's the story?

MizT. is not the only one who went to a cookout yesterday. And Viv is not the only one who has a coffee and/or puzzle affair. I have two of them. Poppy and I have coffee most afternoons and talk horses and dogs. He wants to breed a perlino, so I got him a whole bunch of internet info and More...

That's only one affair Ruby.... tell more!

That meal sounds incredible by the way.

Ruby... there's a 25% chance of getting a perlino by breeding a buckskin to a buckskin. Those are the best odds if one or both parents are not perlino or cremelo.

Rolanda, have fun on your caravan holiday.

OK, Ladies, what is perlino and cremelo?

Cake is baked and stuffing to go with previously smoked turkey. for today i still must cut grass, waiting till it cool and the UV numbers are 3 or below, that happens about 5 or 6 now.

Need to empty dishwasher and then load it with cooking More...

Ruby, I had no idea what a perlino was so googled. Discovered I also had no idea that the genetics of colour in horses was so well researched! It's just not something I had ever thought of before. I'm glad you mentioned it as I may find a way to use it in a science lesson one day!

Hey MizT!

So glad Al is enjoying his Bday.

I found the page that lists the UV numbers here. Most often 10 til 3 off limits, and that's winter!!

Hope the prep isn't too unpleasant......

Good pun there MizT, 'Wish I knew what time they want me up there. I will find out tomorrow night, BUMMER'! hehe
All the best wishes.

Plum, great to see you.

everybody...this isn'ty how I am feeling this morning....
Think I might go back to bed for an hour and start again....self inflicted...stayed up too late sorting photos..duh!!

Gail.... Any word from Dino? Is she home yet?

Hi, Gail. You know how busy most people are before Christmas? Crazy busy? That's how we are before Fair (Sept. 12-21st this year). All of a sudden I realize how much more we have to do -- aughhh!

Ladies
Yes Heidi, good question. I have been wondering the same thing.
Fine day here. Finally had a bit of a sleep in.
Just having brekky now but first made some calls to More...
