One of my sisters gave me the pot for Christmas and I'm really liking it. <br /><br />It sounds like you are having a great week. I'm very happy for you that you are getting ahead with your taxes and things. We are working on setting money aside for summer, as we expect our income to drop during that time. <br /><br />Pam, it's exciting to be out of debt! Yea!<br /><br />Lana, I have been praying for your husband and am glad you are home now. It will feel good to get out of survival mode and into regular routine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-47161226843549090782017-01-14T18:24:06.812-05:002017-01-14T18:24:06.812-05:00Terri I use the vinegar dawn solution in my shower...Terri I use the vinegar dawn solution in my shower and bath. I know longer end up with my back playing up as I use a soft broom to do the scrubbing. This means I don't have to do all the bending. The broom idea came from my wonderful MIL. It's such a quick, easy and efficient way to clean.<br />Just thought I'd share this with you and hopefully save you from the sore back, post bathroom clean.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-87365538830609094832017-01-14T16:30:35.441-05:002017-01-14T16:30:35.441-05:00My husband and I made the banana, oatmeal cookies....My husband and I made the banana, oatmeal cookies. I added salt and cinnamon (per your advice). I thought they were good and very quick to make. He suggested some coconut would be good and maybe a little more cinnamon. He's diabetic so we try to watch what he eats. Not as well as we should.<br /><br />We're iced in in the Kansas City area. It's a little better this afternoon but going to get worse tonite. My husband's family get together for Christmas has been cancelled twice now because of the weather. We're switching to a picnic in May. Church has been cancelled for tomorrow and our Chiefs playoff football game has been changed to Sunday evening instead of around noon. We hope it will be better at that time. All we request is power to keep warm. Could be worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-30798401880285484502017-01-14T13:11:42.448-05:002017-01-14T13:11:42.448-05:00Once again I enjoyed your post and reading about a...Once again I enjoyed your post and reading about all you accomplished. It's so good to hear Lana's hubby is home and starting to recoup.<br /><br />This week was pretty fabulous. Monday was our GOOD Day (get-out-of-debt day). After 39 years we are debt free. Gotta love it.<br /><br />Most days I stayed home. It's been really cold here and staying inside out of the cold and off the snow and ice is just a good idea. I did take my mil into town to get her hair done and I had mine cut shorter, much shorter.

It makes a lot! <br />Would also love to know your recipe. <br />I too need something to do when my husband goes to his DIY store. Hopefully they have a grocery section or a home decorating section and then I'm good! It's great you found shoes for a great price. Have a great day! <br /><br />Vickie @Vickie's Kitchen and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402367232977896594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-8258612252716552822017-01-14T01:29:20.055-05:002017-01-14T01:29:20.055-05:00You have been doing well on your Daniel fast. :) ...You have been doing well on your Daniel fast. :) I love the story about the little key...how perfect and yes, you do have good taste!

I would like that....Yogurt that isn't too tart. I would like that. The yogurt from the store is so tart that I have to have the fruit flavored kind to get past the tartness. This makes me wonder why the store-bought yogurt is so tart. I wonder if they add something as a preservative. I remember being in sixth or seventh grade (around 1967) and first seeing TV ads for yogurt. I had never heard of it before, and it looked so good on TV. I talked my mom into getting some. I remember trying it for the first time and it was so tart I thought something was wrong with it. My mom had never had yogurt before, and she tasted it too. Mom threw it in the garbage. She thought it was spoiled or something was wrong with it. She grew up on a farm where they had milk cows and my grandma made butter and sold it. I had never had any dairy product (except for buttermilk) that I didn't like up until that time. I was in my twenties before I could stand the taste of yogurt.<br /><br />Have you posted the recipe for your yogurt? I briefly looked back through your posts and didn't see your recipe and directions for making it. If you could post (or repost) your recipe, I'd appreciate it. <br /><br />Susie D.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-17385535204728560082017-01-13T21:38:26.404-05:002017-01-13T21:38:26.404-05:00Lana, so happy you are home..
