Good morning! Thanks for the start, kittykatt. It seems most creative types and geniuses have some form of a “mental disorder” (not really sure what to call it). Are citizens required to have a smart phone in some instances? There is a variety of types of phones here, at least there were last time I shopped for one. I know there is a kids version where parents can limit and monitor use, and a basic type with no apps.
Helia, I love that you have some strong bonds with friends.
French, I know you will work it out and nobody will have time to critique anything with all the fun happening.
Trissie, you can’t get much further south than I am lol. I never had sugar in cornbread until I was an adult and ate it at a restaurant. We didn’t eat sweet cornbread at home. My mil and my brothers’ mil were very old time country cooks and they didn’t sweeten their cornbread. It’s ok with some meals, greens or bbq. I prefer just cornmeal mix, egg and buttermilk for my own recipe. If I want to make a heartier cornbread, I sometimes add cheese, bacon pieces, corn or creamed corn, chopped jalapeño, whatever sounds good, cracklings are popular in old timey households… I saw a recipe for cornbread sandwiches with ham and cheese and those are good too if you can get the cornbread thin enough for a sandwich and where it doesn’t fall apart. Saltine crackers with soups is good in a pinch if I don’t want to make cornbread. (Not with creamy soups). lol at the kids tastes, good luck pleasing everyone!
LAnn, we like corn chips or tortilla chips with our chili, plus sour cream and cheese, yum.
Dogged, what are you lining your pads with? I didn’t know there was such a thing. That would help me with Tux my senior.
It’s raining today so catching up on some taped shows w dh for now.
We had a good Saturday. For planner at some point:
Dailies
Donation drop off
Lunch at Sonic
Hollywood -
Drop off some items
Move furniture around
Davon shut water off so pipes wouldn’t freeze
Lock front and back door as someone has been snooping and stealing stuff off the property
New cats and pregnant ones - B said someone dropped them off??? Ugh
Told her they ALL have to be sterilized and she agreed…Someone took gas out of sil’s suv
Someone stole dh’s trailer spare and left a shredded smaller tire in its place
Someone stole 8’ ladder off shed
That’s all she is missing so far. She did see a small black truck pull out of driveway one day as she was pulling in but didn’t get a good look
Apparently a crackhead lives 2-3 doors down so may be them
Need to get cameras
Supper at Netts
) We often have BBQs in people's back gardens, or, if that doesn't appeal, then our annual street party has morphed over the years from a full "afternoon tea" ( think sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, cake , cheese and pineapple on sticks, cocktail sausages and cups of tea) to more "snacky" type food and prosecco (with plenty of nosecco for those of us who don't drink alcohol).

So sorry to hear
