Hi Beverly,
You mean there are people who don't make mistakes in the kitchen? Let me guess--they don't have dust or clutter anywhere either. : )
Hi Vickie,
LOL, I kinda like that idea of tagging somebody with a "lovely" week. And what do you mean you don't know about beer bread? It's practically the easiest thing on earth to make--your personal chef clients would love it! And never know you only slaved over it for five minutes. . . ; )
Hi Bright Meadow Farms,
Sometimes I even amaze myself with what I forget to put into baked goods. Welcome to the farm--thanks for taking the time to write and say hello!
Hi Yellow Dog,
I'll take that sweaty hug. Ha ha, the smell of dogs isn't too bad unless you get them in the house--or they're wet. And of course my little beagle Robin, the only dog allowed in the house and only because she's semi-retired and pretends she's a cat, is a lot smaller than a couple of Labs. ; )
I'm envious--you're ahead of me on the Local Breads recipe testing!
Hi She Of Little Brain,
I think most great discoveries are made by accident--just not everybody admits it. ; ) I've been meaning to try making a yeasted beer bread for ages. Thanks for the reminder.
Hi Killlashandra,
There are certain things in life I really, really, really don't like dealing with, and car repairs are one of them. My ride doesn't have to be fancy, but I want to be able to get in, turn the key, have the engine start up, and get where I'm going and back without worrying, breaking down, or wondering what that scary thumping noise is. Some days that actually happens. Other days I think a horse and buggy would be a much better option. ; )
Hi Ms. DaFarm,
Oh I'm so glad you made beer bread! Thanks for letting me know. Ha ha, too funny about explaining me to your boyfriend. I told Joe what you'd written, saying, "Isn't it interesting the various ways people describe me?"
Cary, by the way, is doing great, though she thankfully has no desire to hang out in the garden. That's too bad actually, as this year I definitely have more weeds than veggies. I'm hoping to get around to writing a little update about her soon. Hoping!! ; )
Hi Cindy,
Thanks. Yes, it's always good to know a bad day/week/month/year will eventually come to an end!
Hi Dig This Chick,
Definitely! Now all we need is some real rain around here. : )
Hi Bill,
Gumption. I like it. Thanks.
Isn't that personal message option in the "Leave Your Comment" section great? I think it's a pretty new feature. Just go into blogger, click on SETTINGS, then click on COMMENTS, and there'll be a box where you can type in your message.
Hi Jade,
Messes on messes--I know about that for sure. Of course, things are always pretty messy around here, LOL. Hope some of yours have been permanently cleaned up! ; )
Hi FGO,
Yeah, apparently at anytime the truck can simply catch on fire without warning. It's pretty unbelievable--and scary. I'm still kind of shaking my head in disbelief over that whole letter and the "park away from structures" thing. I'm assuming the company's lawyers had them include that because somebody's vehicle was parked in a garage or whatever, caught on fire, and ended up causing much more damage--meaning a much larger lawsuit. But still. . .
Ha ha, that's definitely true about the beer!
Hi Carole,
Oh my. Subfloor issues defintely doesn't sound good. But your attitude certainly does! Thanks for the boost. ; )
Hi Diane,
I don't know if I'm so much a trooper or simply crazy--or too addicted to freshly baked bread not to turn on the oven in summer! ; )
Hi Anne,
This heat wave has been unreal. I keep checking the weather hoping that I'll see a cold front like you mention, but the longest reprieve we've had has been just for a day. Last week I heard a guy on the radio giving the weather report, and he said something like, "Wednesday, highs in the upper 90s with the heat index at 105, Thursday, highs in the upper 90s with the heat index at 104, Friday, highs around 103, then Saturday it'll cool down to 96--if you can call 96 cool!" At least it got me to laugh.
Hi Scott,
Well, a little butter is always nice. And of course chocolate. And champagne. And salad. I'll stop now. . .
Hi Mary Isabella,
Thanks so much.
Hi Anonymous,
Your week does sound a lot like mine--well, except yours included little grandkids and mine just includes dozens of sheep and assorted other critters. ; )
As for cruise control, it's one of those things I've never latched on to, probably because the one time I turned it on, not two minutes later I got pulled over for speeding! Fortunately I was able to talk myself out of a ticket, promising not to turn the cruise control back on. : )
