Continuing on the Posoli soup. It is a Mexican soup, and considered a staple and served with toppings and warm tortillas.  The link to the recipe that I posted in 2003 is in the post above. 

I know that not many people look at the recipes and even less  post a comments, I can always be guaranteed that Etta Sue will make a comment as she is the moderator of that forum. I have posted a great number of recipes.

Back to my part of the corner.

Back from hospital with a painful but satisfactory 'all clear'.

Besides on the 'other site' I am a big fish and I can draw BLOOD !

We are mixed up people....our noses run and our feet stink! 

Busy day.  The phone rang even before I was out of bed.  I was awake because of Inky.  She will tap me with her paw on my nose or cheek when she thinks I should be up and about.  The phone call was from Ivalou...just to chat.  So I got up, fixed my breakfast, read my devotions, wrote some checks to pay some bills and walked for 20 minutes.  Then on to the computer.  Before I got caught up with emails, the doorbell rang.  Ivalou.  So we sat and chatted some more.

Now I have had my lunch and I am waiting for the furnace man to come and clean my furnace and replace something that he said would need replaced this year. 

Bright and sunny today in Indiana.  48°.  My solar heat is going.  My fireplace is going.  Maybe the furnace will be cool when the furnace man gets here!

Have a great trip, Janet!  Bring back pictures!!!!

And yes he can really draw blood that Keith....was at me with a hatchet one time. Scars still not healed

Hahahaha Colin you are a hoot!!

This has been a busy day.  Kassie and I had a girls day out.  It is part of her birthday present. 

We are to have clear weather tomorrow.  That will be good for wood cutting.

On the way home from NBay we saw two fields with Deer.  If I had a hunting license I could have had venison in the freezer. 

Well I am off
Back tomorrow.
JudyB

Good morning all.

Quotehe can really draw blood

Hmm   seems like I might be getting a bad press.  Consider it more a case of 'bleeding out the bad humor' as in the days of the barber-surgeon rather than inflicting grievous harm !   Colin gives as good as he gets - I'm sure you all know that by now.

Morning all,

Keith ~ so glad all worked out for you! 

Colin ~ Your poem is so beautiful, like they all are and so heart touching. Thank you for sharing them here, I hope other hearts are touched as mine is. 

Janet ~ praying for a safe trip for you, wow you sure are busy.

Etta Sue ~ you sure are busy too.

Hi to Pat, Larry, Al, Marilyn, Kathleen, JudyB, Ruthie, and please forgive not naming all others, mind like a sieve you know, but thinking and praying as always, thankfully He knows.

Michael's eeg went well, they got alot of information, except for sleeping. The screen showed lots of seizure activity that we dont even know is going on. Wonder what it would have looked like sleeping. Oh well, they will figure out how to get that. For those who dont know, an eeg measure electrical activity in the brain.

Saw the doc yesterday for my knee, he would have sent me straight to the orthopaedic surgeons office, it is that bad and definitely a candidate for replacement. He also suggested some non invasive stuff, most of which I have been doing already. We will try the cortisone shot, OUCH!  , the sleeve to try to stabilize the joint (it is collapsed on the inner side), and some new "gel" to try to revive what very little is left of the cartiledge on the otherside. No gaurentees, dont have to do this but it will buy time to set up nursing for Michael for the couple days til I am allowed to try to walk. Ok nuff said.

Back to the corner for quiet fellowship with Jane, Colin, Marilyn and any others who come too.    May you all have a God filled and blessed day!

Still trusting,

Hi everyone.  I had a very busy day yesterday but it all went well.  I spent about a third of my work career as an auditor.  So when our Learning Center needed to do an audit I was tapped to lead the effort.  It was an easy job as we don't have a complicated system.  I had been treasurer for three years in the past so knew the job inside and out.  Fortunately we found no abnormalities.  We then had our volunteer meeting and lunch.  Finally we had a great computer user group with 90 present.  We had Bill Husted, who is a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist called the "Technobuddy" that is based a the Atlanta Journal and Constitution.  This was the 5th time he has spoken to our user group and we really enjoyed his laid back presentation.  The last time he visited with us we made him an honorary member of SeniorNet and he told us we were one of the few groups he speaks before anymore. 

I picked up our daughter at the bus stop in the next town and she went back to see the chiropractor.  She is spending the weekend and will go with us tomorrow to see our granddaughter and great grandchildren.  We will then take her back downtown to her apartment on the way home.

I am looking forward to watching Georgia University beat Auburn University later this afternoon and watching some other games as well. 

Jeannine, your knee situation certainly sounds terrible painful and unpleasant. 

Hope everyone has a good day.  I hope to get back to work on the church website later today.  Our webmaster has been called back into the Army so I am resuming that responsibility at least until someone else comes along.

Yesterday my Dehumidifier was delivered that I bought from Bed Bath and Beyond, I got it all set up and  wow I didn't know I had so much humidity n my house.  I had it by the bedroom door but have moved it into the kitchen.

Today I have to o pick up some food and recycle the cardboard that packed the Dehumidifier, some newspapers and magazines.

This evening I am going to Arcata to the First Baptist church for a Worship service. This is going to be very interesting as they do the dance and flags during worship. Our worship leader is taking his guitar and will sit in with their worship team. I guess I will take my Glory rings and join them in dance.

Jeannine good to see where this morning.  Yes your knee does sound painful. I have  my right knee that gives me a problem now and then and it is painful I can just imagine how yours must feel. Will be praying for you sister.

Larry it sounds like you had a productive day yesterday. I finally got my china cabinet cleaned out and everything put back the way I have been wanting to do it for the last two years and didn't have the time. I am getting a lot accomplished  now that I am not working very much.

That's all for now folks.

Good morning.  Bright and sunny in sunny Indiana.  41°.  Not bad...now that I am used to the cooler weather. 

I got my furnace cleaned and checked for winter yesterday.  Makes me feel more comforting in using the furnace.  Once it about caught the house on fire so I plan to get it cleaned once a year. 

Today I am going with Judy B, my classmate, to the viewing of another classmate's husband.  Darla's husband passed away the 6th.  After the viewing then Judy and I plan to have Chinese buffet and then home.  I need to do some laundry this afternoon.  I am either awful clean or awful dirty....don't know which!!

Thank you Jeannine.....sorry about the knee and give Michael a big hug from me.

Hi Keith....hope you are keeping well.

Hello everyone else!

All of you probably don't realize this but the combination of posts makes this a most interesting place to read in the morning.

Larry:  I slept well but Don started coughing and left for the computer at 4 A.M. - he was doing job seaches for our son, Phil.  Phil was able to work a day or two this week at an old job - his computer has a virus but a good techie friend is coming to his house tonight to help fix the 'puter.  Tomorrow is your reunion.  My prayers for a safe trip and a wonderful time. 

Colin:  Such thoughtful writings, we are so lucky to have you in here.  You and Keith - what a pair!  Have a fun day.

Marilyn:  How can a pig be organic?  I know it is the food - how can the meat be different?  I'll come with you to the chiropractor today - aching from carrying a heavy sewing machine at the church yesterday the elevator was broken so had to go up & down two flights.  Rough on these old bones. 

Janet:  You gave your wrist rest!  Say that fast.  Peru - is that trip here already?  Our friends really enjoyed.  Are you going with a group?  From now on, I think most of any travel will be escorted for us - we have been crazy to run the way we have & it was too exhausting.  How do you think about it?

Ruth:  We have had those short spurts of snow as well but sorely lacking in anything now.  Have watched the curling on t.v. and I know they do this in northern Minnesota as well. 

wordsculptor:  Hooray on your cystology test.  Do you and Colin lives close to each other?  I hope not 

Jeanne:  Just wanted to say hello -

I would like to go to church either tonight or tomorrow - we just cannot stop coughing & it is so annoying.  Others at quilting yesterday had the same cough - I had to walk out twice but at least it wasn't a speech or sermon.  Our stomachs cannot take any more medicine.  We are just happy to survive some days. 

Carol

Carol you are right it is all in the food that is fed to the pigs and no growth hormones or antibiotics or anything that would effect the meat or be in the meat is not used.
The same goes for range fed chickens and turkeys and cattle. o hormones or anitbiotics either. No chemicals on the pastures etc. Chemical free!.

Marilyn, look at the "hits" in the Recipe area and you'll see that lots of people read there.  I expect that they get their recipe and copy it and leave but that section is sure popular.

Pat, that's a fantastically good new picture of you in your sig!

Quotewordsculptor:   Do you and Colin lives close to each other?

No, the world is not ready for such proximity - we have the mountains of Wales and the depths of the Irish Channel between us.

But eeeek!......Keith is little over half an hour away from me by plane and donkeys cart as opposed to you good Americans.....Australians...Canadians etc who are hours and hours and miles away. Now if he took it into his head...he could be over and clip my ear and be back home again within a couple of hours! Gulp! I better treat him with more reverance than I have been. Talking about Keiths head. His brain is worth about $50,000 amd mine is worth over $500,000. Why.....cos mine has never been used! 

Love your hairstyle Pat! Must remember to mop the floor tonight.

Take care everyone! 

Hey, thanks Al!  It was taken in Virginia! 

[attachment deleted by admin]

Yes Pat I love your new picture.

Pat:   I like the new you.   
        I went to yet another craft show this time is Aliston, Ontario  A Parkinson bus pulled in while we were walking to the entrance,  but I thought I would tell you that I had a very brief chat with Jane Holder she now is doing a lot of hosting and loving it.

Jeannine:   So sorry to hear about your problems and I wonder how you are able to manage. 

Janet:  Another vacation - put me in your suit case.  Enjoy.

Someone was asking about Mel  he once bowled but now has taken up with curling on the local level and really enjoys it, they would like that he join the club but he very much likes being spare the cost is much less and he plays with different folk each week.

Sat evening we went to a concert by Scott Woods 2 hours of fiddle playing, So far he and his family do concerts in Canada and 1-2 weeks in Florida so if you have a chance try to attend.

Into my corner for the evening   Ruth

Good morning all,

Today is a day of remembrance all over the world for those who have served their countries, those who came home and those who didn't. My mom was reading in the paper that here in the states 25% of our veterans live on the streets. That got me thinking, I know that can be dangerous, but here is what I came up with.


Let's all, no matter where we are remember our veterans, those still with us and those gone on home to the Lord. May you all have a God filled and blessed day, this Lord's day. Ok back to my corner 

I hope that you all click on the video above.


On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store's PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in adopting the Legion's "two minutes of silence" initiative. He felt that the store's contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the "two minutes of silence" to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the store's clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was later channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, "A Pittance of Time". Terry later recorded "A Pittance of Time" and included it on his full-length music CD, "The Power of the Dream".

Jeannine, thanks so much for that poem.

Morning again,  sorry I forgot a verse and have fixed it if anyone would like to reread the poem. God bless and have a blessed day.

Good morning all,

Colin asked me to post his poem for Remembrance day since he may not be able to get on the big computer until late, so here is his offering for todays remembrances.

I am fortunate in that I have not lost anyone close to me in any kind of warfare and was born after the second world war.  It does not mean that I feel no reverence toward those who have died nor to those who serve their countries in dangerous ways.  My contribution:

Pat, I didn't see where you click to see the video.  Am I blind?  I think I have seen the video before though.

Good morning!  Raining and gloomy in Indiana today!  The wind about turned my umbrella inside out!  Good to be back inside a nice, warm house. 

When I got to church, I read in the bulletin that Danny was preaching all four services since David was in Boston with an Independent Christian Church there.  So my brain started working, thinking that the only differences in these services would be the music so I left after one service.  I went to a restaurant for breakfast and as soon as I got in the door, Tony and Charlene waved me to sit with them.  What a treat!  Then someone tapped me on the shoulder and it was one of the 60 Chix.  She just got home from Florida Friday...she was wearing her winter coat and was about to freeze!!  Then I looked up and here came a second cousin...she said, she sees Tony and Charlene there about every week and kept thinking that they don't know I am their cousin!  So now maybe Tony and Charlene can say hi when they see Kristy. 

Now I am home.  It is so dark.  If I had lights that come on when it got dark, they would be on.  My lights blinked a few minutes ago...had to wait until the DSL came back on. 

Kitty may come over this afternoon.  She is trying to print Christmas cards and she can't get them to print at her house.  Wants to see if it is her printer or what.  If it prints here, it is her printer....right?
