Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!
Last night was our night to halloween in my little town, from 6:00 to 8:00. Oh my, kids were everwhere. I actually didn't have that many, but the ones I did have, I didn't even know them. I handed out candy bars to all the gohsts, goblens, princesses, spidermans, and a variety of others. It was fun seeing all the different costumes and the kids.

Just a pinch

Hi
I was searching the web the other day and came across this website, it has great recipes, and is very interesting. While looking at some of the recipes, I found that you could save them. It has its own little recipe file. I thought I would share them with my blog.

Good Morning! Just got back from CT and NY. Went to visit my daughter and grandsons. I had a wonderful time, of course the week went by too quick. I did a little shopping, saw a show, and just had a fun time. I plan to go back at Thanksgiving for a long weekend, and go into NY and see the  Rockettes also do some Christmas shopping. I love NY at Christmas. My business is doing great, I have more clients that I really can handle, but I will manage. I am so blessed. God is so good. I have a couple of recipes to share.

Hi

Hi Everyone
 I am trying to keep my blog updated. I have been gone for awhile, I have been spending some time in NY with my grandsons. There Mom and dad went to Europe, and I came to babysit for them. What a fun time we had. I just love going to NY nice restaurants, shows, Shopping, tours and most of all the people. So many different nationalities and so many different languages. Its so interesting. I will be going home this weekend. I hate that I am going to miss the trees turning into fall. The mountains are beautiful this time of year. Well back to Indiana and back to work. Work does the body good.

Cleaning Tip

I cleaned my oven this week, instead of using all those chemicals, I used vinegar and baking soda just to see if it worked. I have to tell you it worked great. Spray your oven with vinegar and sprinkle baking soda thickly on the bottom, sides, and door of your oven I went back and sprayed vinegar again after I put the baking soda on. I let mine set for about 3 hours but if your oven is really dirty let it set over night. Take a clean cloth and wipe it clean, you will have to wipe it several times to get all the baking soda off. My stove is an old stove but it cleaned up great. Hey give it a try!

Good Morning!
I have had family from out of state, trying to get back to my blogging. I have been working and thinking about retirement. I can retire in March, but of course I will still keep a number of my clients. Work does the body good. I'd like to do some long weekend trips, My favorite place is NYC, love it. But will have to see how everything goes, of course money is always a factor for me. Its been extremely hot in Indiana this summer, but it was a welcome change from all the snow we had in the winter. I just love the 4 seasons of the Indiana weather.
I am so grateful for my family, church, friends, and clients life is good.

Back to work!

I know everyone is back to work after the holiday, it was so much fun to be off for 3 days, but Work must prevail. (Earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow Gen 3-19). Hummmn!!!!!!!! I guess everyone does not know this verse in the Bible. We all should want to do this. I know! I know! jobs, right now are hard to find, but there are lots of jobs that are available, all you have to do is look for them. Oh Well!
I sure am thankful for all the Lord has given me, and my family. He's such a wonderful loving father. He takes such good care of us. Thank you Lord!
