Wow... Adding him to the prayers, too. I hope that he heals quickly so that he is able to support her in the treatments.

My prayers will continue for her... It is so difficult to know that someone is suffering and not be able to offer more.

Nice score, Cat!!

Praying for your sister...

We just did a little Christmas shopping today... Yep, on New Years Eve. Hubby's grandkids were out of town for Christmas so we postponed buying a few of their gifts to take advantage of some of the sales. One of the places we checked is called Ollie's Bargain Outlet. They are sort of a junk/closeout/ you-never-know-what-you're-gonna-find type of store. We purchased some organic relish, organic oatmeal, pomegranate juice, Juicy Juice, crackers, and a whole lot more. We also got a few more gifts for the grandkids. They also sell a lot of books, cleaning supplies and just about anything that you might think of, except clothes... I don't recall seeing clothes, anyway. I got this from their website: http://www.olliesbargainoutlet.com/default.aspx Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is currently located in 10 states: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

I think that I am going to serve: smoked or regular turkey (not sure which) turkey ham macaroni and cheese garlic mashed potatoes lasagna gravy potato salad stuffing pumpkin bread banana bread cornbread rolls I haven't decided which vegetables to serve yet. Our family is picky, so I always have to have quite a few things to choose from. I shouldn't have to cook again for at least 3 or 4 days afterward.

Sending a prayer of healing for your sister...

I don't know what I'm going to be canning but I WILL be canning something this weekend!! I just bought a bunch of lids and rings from Lowes (for 58 cents a box!) and will pick them up after work today. While I am there, I will also check to see what else they have left. It may not be much but if I can use it, then I will buy it!

I've only used a small scoop of it in the bathtub. I have terribly dry skin and can never apply lotion to all of my body evenly. There is always some body part that I miss. I've never heard of using for thyroid issues. I would think that it would be incredibly high in calories, though.

Looks like you had a fun-filled day...So who has to clean 'em?

I'm dehydrating peppers today. My garden is really cranking them out this year! Now if only the tomatoes would follow suit.
