Typing on the Chromebook, and I guess this is a good thing, although I'm still working via Personal Hotspot on phone and I haven't tried any more of the connection tips, LadyM. (Sorry. It's been a busy day and all of that is overwhelming to me. I'm going to wait till ds has time to check into it.) On the plus side, I am here, watching tv, and dh is on the PC in the computer room... so it is nice.
(I'm watching the New Year's Bash from Nashville, btw. DGS has already called to wish us HNY on Eastern Time, said he would call back when it's "officially" midnight here. LOL.
For New Year's Eve, we've been busy --
* church -- ds played duet with his piano teacher, which was very nice. (The FIrst Noel). However, I'm afraid some people thought he was playing both parts, and it was much more advanced than his ability!
* all the end of the week tasks, except garbage -- it will run on Tuesday again this week
* groceries ^^^ and all put away except the drinks (soft drinks and water)
-- I took dgd home before I bought groceries, then we were interrupted while putting them away to take dgs home. (They ate supper with ddil's parents, but ddil hadn't made it home by the time they finished eating! They were having FROG LEGS and chicken wings. LOL... not traditional NYE supper, maybe, but dgs was looking forward to trying the frog legs.)
* dh and I went out for supper. I told ds it was sorta a progressive dinner -- we had supper at IHop, then Krispy Kreme donuts for desert, and made another stop for Cheerwine from yet another place. (In case you don't know, Cheerwine is a sort of cherry flavored soda, which is probably very regional, and only one place in our area has it. It may have originated in NC, but I am not sure.) (Harriet?)
* filled up the car
* after dropping off half the donuts with ds (we had a coupon for a dozen) dh and went home but left again so he could listen to the Malpas Brothers on the Opry from last night, and made my second stop at Wmart for something I had forgotten this afternoon
* and the BIG thing -- while we were home -- I prepared that BIG ham (20 lbs) for baking tomorrow. I have it sitting on pineapple slices, rubbed down with brown sugar and ground cloves, with additional cloves stuck in the diamond shaped score marks... and in the morning, I will baste with more pineapple juice and add pineapple and cherry garnish... and then bake for 6 1/2 hours according to our best interpretations of various recipes. Can't wait to let y'all know how this turns out.
Sigh. Chromebook is better than phone for typing, but the verdict is DEFINITELY still out on this thing.
