Dee, when I have a bad cough, I drink powered lemonade mix (I use Countrytime) in a cup of hot water. Usually that will settle me down enough that I can sleep.
The little girls don't have school today. Dsil will be bringing them around 11. Dgs13 has a game today so I will be fixing supper for dd2, the little girls, dh and I. Tonight's menu is mini meatloaves, cheesy potatoes and can bread. The can bread is a recipe of dsisil. You mix the dough up and then put in 1# coffee can to rise, then bake. It is delicious. I have 4 1#coffee cans that I have saved to use for this, since you can't buy 1# coffee in cans any longer. The recipe makes 2 loaves.
Last Thursday while I was grocery shopping, dsil2 called the house phone. Dh isn't great about answering it but he did when he seen who it was. Dsil was about 35 miles from here when the transfer case blew in his pickup and he was broke down beside the road. He had called his 4 local brothers and 2 were out of town and the other 2 couldn't get away due to meetings. So he called to see if dh could pick him up and take him home, so he could get his feed truck. While he was waiting for dh, a highway patrol pulled over to see if he needed help. He told him he could tell what the problem was by the amount oil on the highway. The pickup was a 2007 with over 300,000 miles. It had gotten undependable and they had spent a lot, the last few years, keeping it going. So dsil is getting a new 2017 something that is located elsewhere and will be delivered this week. We are so glad that now he won't be leaking fluids, mainly oil on our driveway when he comes over.
Guess I better eat breakfast and shower before the girls get here.........
Kathryn, is this senior friend the one you have been close to for so many years?
