Purge Party ~ Grandma's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I finally did it!  After talking about it for a year or two, I finally dug through my semi-good jewelry and held a jewelry purge party with two of the girls. 



They had so much fun too, and I cleaned out my stash.  There was even more that didn't get into the photo.  Felt so good, and they are "happy campers" to say the least.


I even made my Grandma's oatmeal raisin cookies for the get together.  Hubby's been asking for them, and since I only made one cookie at Christmas - wa-la!

I could only wish my kids would take some of my "stuff" but evidently, they have enough of their own and the things they do want are things I am still using! LOL! The cookies look good but I don't care for raisins so I substitute craisins. Happy New Year's Eve!

That is a great idea! It's a win-win for everyone. Those cookies look delicious - oatmeal raisin are my all-time favorites.

Sweet! You are going like gang-busters. Good job.

I just did about the same myself, well... in one corner of my bedroom. With health problems, things have piled up, so it's going to take time. But I piled everything I want gone in the middle of my bed, so... I can't go to bed until I deal with it. LOL
I'm also dealing with a COPD flare up, maybe caused by this coughing virus going around. Dunno. So off we went to the clinic yesterday for an exam and xrays, and then to the pharmacist for RXs. I had to leave one cause it was $130, and didn't have the $$$ for that. So I'm on a steriod step-down along with a cough supressant and and an antibiotic. Tomorrow will be better. I believe it.
Praying none of you all get the coughing virus. Week before CHRISTmas we went to Walmart, and I swear, all you could hear throughout the store was coughing. Should have known to buy hand sanitizer and use it before leaving the store, but we didn't. :(
With love.
God bless.

RB, when I hear people coughing I high tail it out of the store as fast as I can shop. It's crazy some times. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. I'm on so many drugs now, I worry. Do you know any SURE and NATURAL way of dealing with coughing and COPD?
Thanks.
Love you.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
