A Trick and Some Treats

By -


The Trick is that the dessert pictured is not a baked potato, It is all ice cream.....
pretty cute I think. It tasted wonderful when I shared a bite with the birthday girlfriend on Tuesday night.

Here are some treats I'd recommend just because I want to say I really appreciate those of you who read this little blog. ( Following Donna B's lead at Quiet LIFE)

*Johnson's baby cream oil. (cocoa and shea butter but not smelly)
Dear nurse/friend/knitter Diane gave me a tube of this amazing wonderful stuff for my hands.
It says non-greasy rich, creamy texture and it lives up to in every way. It is my new go to for the poor hand season that is beginning.....

*Trader Joe's FROZEN steel cut oatmeal. Yup. They've found a way to eliminate the long cooking process that steel cut oats requires. Thanks Al for this healthy yummy tip. I usually refuse to make oatmeal because of the mess....now I can enjoy it with some brown sugar and butter on these chilly mornings.

*Thunder Dog, the book. I finished a book! This is a great account of a 9/11 survivor team of guide dog and person trapped in the World Trade Center Tower.

*My Walgreens is now a full service Post office stop. Is yours? How wonderful is this? I love to shop at Walgreens for some strange reason. Now I can mail yarn from Walgreens too!

*Bamboo plants for the house because you don't need soil. I was gifted my first bamboo plant by a patient's family this summer. It is so lovely and it only needs water....to live. I understand now there is all this bamboo etiquette to be followed . Do you DO bamboo?

*Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Taffy Apple or something like that donut. Wonderful fake flavor....seriously try one

Any treats you want to share???

I love to shop at Walgreens, too. The store has a wide variety of products, is neat and clean, offers great deals, and check-out is fairly quick.

No post office in the Walgreens here. :o(

Yes, I agree with Nancy that Walgreens is the place to shop. It's a mini Walmart. I buy all of our dog toys there because of the great prices and unique items.

Special treat--Godiva chocolate!!

My treat - pretzel M&Ms. I love them! But, I also really liked the crispy M&Ms... so I might be biased.

I'm not sure about that potato-looking-ice cream.

That hand cream is a must-find. Gretchen will lick it though, won't she?

Treat. Pumpkin whoopies, homemade by Best Thing. Love that girl. So glad the Knight's assistant married her and "we" get to keep her.

Coach's Oats. Steel cut but shorter cooking time because they are toasted. Available online or at Costco.
Houseplant? Mother-in-Law's Tongue...hardly ever needs water.
"Wanderlust" a memoir about a womans travels around the world.
Panera cinnamon crunch bagel....of course.

That hand cream looks awesome! I love the orange/ginger scented creams, sprays, lotions and soaps that Bath and Body Works carries. If you hit their twice yearly sale days, you can get them for a reasonable price, too!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
