Latest News from Headquarters

I'm chewing my finger nails down to the quick whilst staring at the letter box! Fingers crossed for tomorrow's post, otherwise it is waiting for next weeks' deliveries.

Rita -- I didn't read correctly the first time and thought you said "x-ray vision". LOL Wouldn't that be something!! We are the hail capitol of the US here in Colorado.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Hugs, Sharon

Thanks Pam. Well at least I only have two weeks between the eyes! They told me yesterday that I could go back to driving when I was ready because apparently I had reached beyond the driving standard. I can't use my glasses even though they have removed the lens from the right side because it is giving me double vision, so DH is going with me today while I pick up my son from school, just in case. Makes you wonder about how many people are out there on the roads with poor eyesight!

While I am typing this we are having the most dreadful hail-storm. It's the 11th May and we are having a hail-storm!!

I will certainly be toasting Lorchen on her big birthday tomorrow, and with pleasure.

Lois go back to page 122, its djane who has changed her profile photo

Rita, I'm so glad the eye surgery went well. Definitely lopsided. Even if stitching is difficult for you at least you can raise a glass or two or more to Lorchn tomorrow

DH had cataracts done a couple of years ago and had one very shortsighted and one longsighted eye for six weeks. It was very difficult for him to do anything. However what he hated most of all was me having to be his chauffeur

Did I miss something? anniqui has the default avatar on my computer. It must be that new eye you got that allows you to see things that just aren't there. Lois

Rita, glad to see you are in great form between eye surgeries. Sounds like the first one went pretty well. Wish you well on the second one too! Renata

Rita - Sounds like it went well. Great! Hope the other goes just as well and you enjoy your new vision, whether X-ray or X-rated! Both sound interesting!

Welcome out of the shadows Anniqui - go on post a photo, we won't laugh! Debbie love the new avatar - who's the handsome devil beside you? Are you showing off a new man? Or maybe he's been there all along but I didn't notice until I got my new bionic eye! One down and one to go. I will have X-ray (or do I mean X-rated) vision in two weeks time. In the meantime I am a little lobsided.

I love those little boxes of Jiffy Corn bread. They are fast, easy and fill my old fashioned pie pan.
DH can just about finish the whole thing at one meal, saving me unwanted calories..
There is nothing like good old fashioned hot corn bread.

Cookin, I am so sad for your pain, know that God is always with you even when we are not sure...
He is a good God and Heaven is going to be so unbelievably awesome when we all get there.
Streets of the purest white gold, colors that we have never seen before. As a quilter I can hardly wait to see these colors..
Not that I'm in a hurry to go but the Bible really tells of its beauty.
I'm so luck to have a Father like God! God Bless you and Keep you in His loving arms... Hugs quilting sister!

Any word on the reels yet?
I am saying prayers for the postal workers and their safe delivery of everyones packages. Sure can't hurt right?

No, not baked in a bag, but a glass/ceramic baking dish. The recipe will definitely follow after I have the meal my DH is preparing while I computing.

"Jiffy" is the brand name of a yellow corn meal and wheat flour mix.
For those who can't find these 8.5 oz boxes, fine polenta can be substituted along with flour.

I will use the equivalent measures for our U.S. , but excuse me if I err.....I'm sure someone will come to my rescue.

Just hope it is not cooked in a jiffy bag/envelope

YEA!!! I'm coming off the sidelines and no longer a LURKER!!!

Rosemary,
For my yellows, my "REEL foodie title" is Jiffy Baked Corn Casserole.

Cookin,
Prayers and hope for a speedy recovery for your husband, and strength for you.

Rita,
Love listening to you sing...BEAUTIFUL voice!
Brings back memories of my wonderful trip to Ireland.
I will definitely use iTunes....Thanks for the info!

My reels are orange sherbet.

That is true, the 'hap-nny' (half penny) went sometime in the 80's, but it had got to the point that even the hap-nny sweets cost 1p so in some ways it was becoming naturally obsolete by rising prices.
