Sat. Nov. 11
From a sunny, but crisp MO,
This has been a full day - or at least for this old soul.
We slept in this a.m. -- actually didn't get moving until almost 8:00. The four of us walked and even though it was crisp, we didn't have to fight much of a breeze so it was a good outing.
Mary Willis picked me up (along with Pat) for an outing to Brookfield. Mary was needing a particular fabric that the local WalMart no longer had, but it was at Brookfield. Afterwards, we went to the gift shop that the Johnson girls have - then back to Chillicothe to eat at Applebee's.
I needed to make a quick trip to HyVee when we returned (Bill and Mary Thompson had brought us some tomatoes that had been picked in September and we were hungry for bacon and tomato sandwiches.) One of the tomatoes was as good as any I picked fresh this summer and the second one was very close to being as good.
We dozed for a long time this afternoon and then saw the end of the Nebraska/A&M game as well as the NC/Florida game. Jim is now biding time until the USC game comes on.
I was watching "Paula's Party" on the food network last night and she had a couple of attractive recipes (or at least ones that I thought I might want to try.) One was a donut bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme donuts and the second one was individual pineapple upside down cakes using a muffin tin and canned biscuits. I went to the appropriate website tonight and have copied both recipes. She was really a hoot on the bread pudding as she was so proud of not using any sugar or vegetable oil.
We are collecting money in our Thursday a.m. breakfast group to purchase a lighted holiday decoration to be added to those used last year in Simpson Park. We had a lengthy "discussion" as to an appropriate name for our group - two that have been submitted so far by Judy Duncan are TOAST - Teachers Organized and Associated for Social Treks -- and -- COFFEE - Coalition of Free, Fun-loving Ex Educators.
We are anticipating a quiet Sunday. Jim may mulch leaves again, but we'll just see what the late morning and afternoon brings.
Be safe.
