Modern Pentathlon Monday @ TDD - C&C

[Bama]

Wtg, Peaches!

Lol Dogged, my mother was old school, didn’t talk about anything much to do with the past, so idk if she just didn’t want me to keep pestering her or she truly didn’t know.
I love the sense of humor take on a serious subject that we all have to deal with to make everyone a little more comfortable with the conversations to be had.
Germane is working her charm today!

Kittykatt, how do you clean/store the copper balls? My concern is losing them down the drain or a cat gobbling up one on the floor.

Kitkat, my maternal grandparents came over in the early 1900s. I realized yesterday that my grandfather was only 22, what a huge task to take on. His fiance was 18 and had to wait several years, just found out yesterday the first thing they did when she got here was get married. See above, my family doesn’t talk so learning as I go so it’s all very interesting to me to have a history finally.
Dpup must be well behaved and enjoy those social outings.

Forgot my list so will fetch that and post/update.

[Kittykatt]

Dogged, I'm glad Germane still enjoys her wet food.

Matilda came.to bed without any trouble tonight. And has eaten her supper. I think she's still a little ."off" with me, but I'll live!

[Bama]

Don’t back down, kittykatt, or she will saunter in at all hours expecting cuddles and treats.

I still need to do a little in each room before dh gets home. Once he arrives my brain tells me it is quitting time. Will it happen?

The experiment was volcano eggs, Dogged. Essentially it is just coloring hard boiled eggs but you do it using baking soda and vinegar and making a volcanic eruption to dye them in. It was a hit and followed up with water play in the sink.

Volcano eggs would be fun for my youngest dgd, LAnn

Just catching my breath while pup eats her dinner..:
Added fish oil in hope that it helps her itchiness...

[L.Ann]

Last year we did endless “explosions” KitKat. Her other favorite was mixing colored water to make new colors.

[Doggedly]

Apparently, your accomplishments were so vast that I had to nap after Page 2. Let's see if I can get through Page 3 without doing the Victorian lady thing.

Hi, Peaches.

Bama, it's great that you are getting such interesting information about your dfamily. Especially as your dmother wasn't chatty about it.

Good job on behaving in stores, kitkat's dpup. And good job kitkat on socializing dpup!

Gma, I think you were wise to toss the out of date mayonnaise, even if it did appear to be ok. There's out of date, and there's out of date!

And then there's mayonnaise!

Ah, I see that Matilda has learned from her recent frustration, Kittykatt.

Science is a lot more fun these days, L.Ann. You are giving your dgranddaughter a gift to last her lifetime.

It seems that I have made it to the end of the posts without collapsing at the sight of so much productivity. Time for a little productivity of my own.

[Bama]

LAnn, cute craft idea.

Kitkat, I hope the fish oil helps too.

Dogged, I’m glad you have a reserve of energy. Mine is waning.

Dh went to the dealership to get his oil changed and tires rotated. They didn’t rotate the tires and the lugnuts were loose when he drove off so had to go back. That’s scary incompetence! He said he won’t go back but he has said that before, so we will see.

I learned you don’t have to bake cornbread, I cooked it on the stovetop and it tastes the same. Cool on days you don’t want to use the oven

[Doggedly]

That is scary, Bama! It's a good thing that your dh knows his vehicle well enough to notice before anything happened to him.

trissie, I hope it's a better day at work for you.
helia, you are managing to keep busy, even without appointments.
laurlind, how are your parents faring?
Hi doggedly, are you going to bed early tonight also?

Everyone here is talking about how cold it is. tomorrow is supposed to be 10 degrees warmer. I can only hope. Just barely got above 0 today, but was windy all day so there was a windchill. I have made a list for tomorrow's "heat wave"! ( Might even get to bed early, then try to talk myself into getting up and moving when I wake up.
