BUT THEY DON'T ALWAYS HAVE IT IN SUGAR FREE!OH WELL NOW I KNOW FOR THE NEXT TIME TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT KIND!THEY SHOULD HAVE SINGLE SERVINGS SO YOU CAN TRY THEM!BUT NO THEY WANT YOU TO BUT THE WHOLE BIG THING SO THE CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF US!
WELL TODAY WAS ALL COOKING AND SHOPPING SO MUCH FOR RELAXING!LOL BUT AFTER SUPPER I PLAN ON JUST WATCHING TV AND THAT IS IT!
HUBBY WORKED ON THE BANK WHILE I WAS SHOPPING HE NEEDS A LITTLE FOR DIRT TO FINISH UP!HE COULDN'T USE THE BIG BACK HOE OR WHAT EVER THAT MACHINE IS OUT THERE CAUSE THE GROUND IS STILL TO WET AND WE WOULD HAVE A BIG MUD PIT! NO IDEAS JERRY!LOL AND ALL WEEK IT SAY'S A CHANCE OF SHOWER'S IT WAS NICE TODAY AND NO RAIN!SO MAYBE BY TOMORROW IT WILL BE DRY ENOUGH TO GET THAT THING GOING SO WE CAN GET IT OUT OF HERE!SO IT IS COMING ALONG BUT SLOWLY!

Afternoon CHAR! I'M NOT USUALLY UP THIS "LATE" BUT SINCE I AM, I THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK IN ON YOU. I THINK YOU AND I WERE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH ABOUT COOKING FOR THE WEEK. I AM NOT AND I MEAN NOT A COOK, BUT I MANAGED TO MAKE A BROCCOLI CHEESE QUICHE YESTERDAY, THINKING AHEAD. IT TURNED OUT REALLY UNDERDONE, BUT AT LEAST I TRIED! I KNOW WHERE MY STRENGTHS ARE AND COOKING IS NOT ONE OF THEM. HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR SUNDAY, YOUR DAY OF REST! MARY Report Inappropriate Comment

CHAR, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM WITH WANTING YOUR LIFE BACK. I WATCHED AN ELDERLY LADY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I THOUGHT I WOULD LOSE MY MIND TAKING CARE OF HER...IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I EVER DID. JUST REMEMBER TO TAKE LOTS OF ME TIME IN DEALING WITH HER...AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL GET THE MOTORCYCLE PAID OFF SOON. KEEPING YOU IN MY PRAYERS DEAR CHAR, FOR YOU HAVE A VERY HARD JOB THERE TAKING CARE OF JANICE...I DON'T ENVY YOU ONE BIT.
