Day Twelve

In color.

Day Twelve

A greyscale day.   It is now 22 and blowing cold.  Tonight it is supposed to get down to 11 degrees and not get above freezing tomorrow.  The weekend, though, is not supposed to be too bad.

Two more months of winter and then SPRING!!!

I made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting to share with the grandbabies tomorrow.  I used Helen's 325 degree, water pan suggestion and it is really moist and good.  Then, I am making chicken and dumplings for George.  I had just chicken soup, but I will add dumplings for him.

Looking for better weather.

Day Eleven

Happy Birthday, Kelly.

Today was a nice day, but watch out tomorrow.  George says he heard the high for tomorrow is supposed to be 28.  And, we are supposed to get our first snow tonight, but only a dusting.  Two more days and then the wicked can rest.  I guess I will go get the babies Friday after school is out.  On my birthday they called and sang happy birthday to me and Robert said, 'I love you grandma.'

Day Ten

My lucky day.  I have my work keys (about a dozen keys) and my work ID badge on a key chain.  Today I went to the restroom at work and the keys with ID attached fell into the stool.  It was my lucky day because I was using the production restroom instead of the front office restroom.  The front office stools auto flush, production stools do not.  And, I only had to Pee.  And, Vicky, the nice lady that cleans the restrooms was in that restroom.  She had just cleaned all the toilet stools and she had sanitizing solution  for my dirty keys and badge.  My lucky day.

All of these photos and some more were on my work computer.  I think most of them are on our blogs somewhere else, but here they are again.

Day Nine

I got my camera lens back and it seems to work fine.  These were taken with the other telephoto lens, but I took some with the repaired lens took.

Betty is needing one of her school pictures when she was in the 7th grade or about that time.  I have looked, and I do not think I have any of her school pictures.  Mama usually gave our school pictures to each of us, so I think Betty got all her own pictures, unless Helen has some.

I have school pictures of her after she started teaching.  I guess she was in the 7th grade teaching then.

Day Eight

This afternoon, we took a birthday cake down to Donna.  She will be 78 tomorrow.  I told her if the cake was not good, she should blame Helen because it was her recipe.  Actually, it was Betty Crocker, but Helen gave additional instructions.  Beat the mix 5 to 10 minutes, not just the short time it says.  Bake at 325 instead of 350 and put a pan of water in the lower rack in the oven.  She said this gives 

a more even and moist cake.  It did look really good.  They will eat it tomorrow with their grandkids.

Happy Birthday Donna.
