Granny's gone and done it again

I have only one problem with vegetables this year. Not enough freezer space. Ma wants a new upright model.

That's what we have. Haven't used it since we moved. Need to stock it with some meat. It's getting more and more spendy at the store! I'm pretty good at spending a set amount when I go for my regular things. Up 15 bucks! So, going to get things that will make big meals and good leftovers.

Well I don't eat Pimento Peppers either.

Or green olives! :}

Ive been watching. Did the third egg hatch?

Yes

HA! Serves you right. And all I have are a few broken ginger snaps.

I bought some of those soft iced sugar cookies Walmart makes. A favorite here.

Ma worked for years in the home heathcare field.

Me too, when I was young.

Did she see it in time to get the child to breathe again?

She was in a special needs bus with only 1 aide and the driver. She did not survive.

I'm sure most of the gardeners on here know what a butternut squash is.... Imagine having a guy coming into the ER to have one removed... It was surgically removed... Darwin did him no favors... He did survive but the other guy that came in about the same time from sniffing Dursban didn't. When asked why he was sniffing Dursban he said "I wanted to get High..." That was his last high.

I know what a butternut squash is, now wait..what?

That is so sad. They were probably really stressed out taking care of her

Until she was 4 years old she had full time nurses in the home. At age 4 she was stable enough to go to a special needs daycare where she had fulltime supervision. She had pulled the tube out several times there so they should have known to watch her carefully.

My cookies come from the grocery store. They are not made with Splenda, sadly.


I did free-lance live-in home health care of a sort for several years. Mostly housekeeping, actually. Medicaid did pay me at one job. At others, I just got paid cash. It wasn't much but it kept a roof over my head and at least one job it was a very fine roof indeed.

And I'm sure you did a good job of it. Rewarding

It does not matter which way it is. The sun comes up and goes down when it is supposed to.

Yep.
