Morning! It’s a cold cloudy start to the weekend. Sitting at the annual HOA meeting and praying the rabble rousers will think twice before bringing in contention!
For this is the day our Lord has made… we shall rejoice and be glad in it!!❣️❣️
Jo, Paul had to do that on his forehead. It appeared sunburned at first but as the dermatologist told him “ your skin will be as smooth as a baby’s bottom afterward!”
We headed north bright and early and got back home by noon. Transfered another trunk load of full garbage bags to the bin immediately when we pulled in the carport. It is a snail’s pace clean up. We have made a slight dent.
Ah! The fall weather is superb. And getting away out of this urban area adds a lot of freshness to the already crisp fall air.
I cut up a butternut squash and put the chunks in oil and mixed in nutmeg, cinnamon, and basil. I roasted it on parchment at 350° for an hour (covered with foil for about 45 minutes and then removed foil for final 15 minutes). So good! Hot or cold. Reminds me of pumpkin pie.
Janice – Years ago, Nightingale rented a dumpster when we had to clean out a bunch of excess stuff in our basement. We may have to do that again when I move and sell the house. It was delivered and then picked up again after a day or two. Would that work for you in cleaning out your brother’s house?
Y’all making me hungry for squash with all those spices! And now I need to go down to the freezer and thaw out that pork tenderloin roast!
Janice I do hope you are taking lots of breaks in cleaning out the house. It is so hard going through all the paperwork and files too! My sister once asked my Mom if she was hiding money or important papers in books…Mom told her we just better not throw out the books without checking them first!!
I may take after my Mom on that front. I’ve been known to put my children’s Christmas money gift in the pages of the books I gave them for Christmas…I told them that was the only way I could get some of them to open a book!!
We spent yesterday at our daughter’s cabin with our other daughter and two youngest grandchildren. It was a fun day with walks, games and chatter.
Too funny, we chatted about squash, too. My daughter had bought a new type to try. She found it at an apple orchard and had a gift certificate she won to use up. I used to like to make acorn squash with apples and cinnamon, brown sugar and butter inside each half. My husband doesn’t like it enough to bake anymore.
I had never heard of chemo creme before. I hope it all clears up quickly, Jo.
When I had radiation, I used Calendula cream to keep away burning. It is a natural cream or gel made from marigolds. It worked well. I also drank a little aloe juice in water daily to help from the inside out. I never got the blistering the doctor assured me I would have bt the end.
Not to worry about me overdoing it since we typically go only once a week and I am very slow and methodical. Eventually I will have more help and I already have an offer from someone who will bring one of those attached trailers with his truck and leave it by the front door for us to load up and haul away. We will only need to pay the cost of the landfill to dispose of it. This is a friend of my brother who is now our friend.
A Bible study friend recently had an estate sale of her mom’s things. She said if we go that route to be prepared for people stealing. She said the service doing the sale received half the proceeds so she got $5,000. She’d wanted to be rid of the furniture but none of it sold. I don’t expect we would make near that much so hardly worth it, to me.

Ha!
I just made acorn squash for Cheryl with a pork tenderloin roast on Thurs.
Butter, cinnamin, brown sugar, and a touch of maple syrup.
Good stuff.

ONLY put that cream where you need it!
I misunderstood the directions and put it all over my face.
Yikes!
Children started crying when they saw me in the grocery store. My grandchildren shook their heads and walked away.
This was at Christmas!
My skin got smooth but I’ll probably do blue light next time (which I hated 15 years ago and was the reason I went with the cream).
Just, use sparingly!
