My leukemia's back.

One of our neighbors had 13 Oak trees cut down yesterday. Dh went to talk to the crew doing it. They agreed to mulch enough for 2 dump truck loads, and they dumped it here. The rest of the trees were cut into sections for firewood. Dh hauled, and stacked a little over 7 cords of good Oak wood. We got it free, and they were grateful, since they didn't have to chip, haul the wood to the landfill, and pay to dump it as yard waste. It saved them a day's worth of time, and a good bit of money too. We got a lot of good wood that will make great cooking fires. I don't know how many of you have used Oak to cook over, but it gives a wonderful flavor to food.

On another note, I made a batch of cupcakes last night. I used my daughter's cupcake pan. It has handles on it. I thought they were "stay-cool" handles, so when the last batch was done, I removed the cupcakes, and grabbed the handles to put the pan in the sink. There's NOTHING stay-cool about the handles. I tossed the pan, and turned on the cold water, running it over my burned fingers. After a few minutes, I got a mixing bowl, and put the chilled water from the fridge in it, and kept soaking my fingers for an hour. Fortunately, I don't have any blisters, and only 2 fingers got a tiny place that is red, and a little sore.

Blooie, keep sharing pics of Fiona. She's beautiful. I LOVE big dogs.

"The drip"..no fun. Had my 4 others natural, nothing for pain what so ever. Would rather do it that way than being started. Did not tell her that of course.

Great to hear Phil!

I'd think you would have learned about hot things by now given all the cooking you do.

Why not tell her. DW was induced both times. She knew what to expect the SECOND time. Doesn't make it less painful but easier in a way. Nothing like a vertical contraction to make OW!!!


Why did they cut all those trees?
