Hi Darlene let me know if you ever try making that turkey pumpkin chili

.It don`t seem that difficult to make ,but it does call for a lot of ingredients , and  some of them ingredients  i dont think mix too well lol like cocoa powder and chili powder

Always fun to experiment though one might be suprised . :) 

Have a happy peaceful Holiday partner

Darlene popped in to wish you a nice weekend.It sure got cold outside.

I have  the squirrels trained to come  in the morning  and i get out and toss them a bunch of peanuts.

They are so cute .There is one that`s a bully lol 

He sees  his buddies    coming to eat the nuts there he goes  chasing them away, but the squirrels  dont seem  that scared as they keep coming  and  looking for the nuts.

They come  at different times of the day to check .

I have to be careful my yard dont turn into a golf course. lol

Today it did seem as if two were fighting and i had to run out to break it up .  

Have a nice evening Darlene :-D

Thank you for your kind words about my page Darlene.  Hope your weekend was good and that you'll have a good start to the new week - the last couple days of your beloved October.  Not only is it Trick or Treating but it's also my sister' birthday.  I love garlic and it's so good for you too and no, I don't have any side effects from it - no dry mouth.  The game of dominos is played with flat dice that have two parts divided by a line.  You start the game by everyone drawing a certain amount of dominos.  Lets say you start with a set of 12 and there are 4 of you playing.  The first person who draws the double 12 puts it in the middle.  You then have to line up all  the dominos in your had starting with 12 dots on the top half - the bottom half lets say is a 6 dots.  You then need to find a 6 on the next domino and whatever the bottom half of that 6 is, you need to find a domino that has that number of dots on it. For example 12/6 6/5 5/9 9/2 ect.  You keep lining them all up in your hand.  This is called your TRAIN.  Any other domionos that you can't fit in your hand becomes Mexico.  Everyone has to start with a 12 domino.  Whe it goes around to who started, if they have an extra 12 domino, they can put this in the extra place and anyone can play on that (from their Mexico) when it's their turn.  That's why what we play is called Mexican Dominos.  I don't explain it very well, but if you picked up a set and read the instructions, you would understand better.  I came in last tonite - when a person plays their last domino in their hand, they go out everyone else counts all the dominoes left in their hand.  The one with the least amount of points when "blanks" are played is the winner.   We didn't finish the game till 12:30.  Sometimes it doesn't take that long, you just never know.   

The hamburger soup is really good but not like wedding soup - at least I don't think so.  You start off with hamburg, onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, and all kinds  of veggies and beef broth.  Google it - there are several different kinds - just do the basics and then add.  I put some leftover peas and corn in mine and added pinto beans and green beans - made it real hearty.  Add what you want and leave out anything you don't like.  I put garlic in mine too. We always need to wind down when we come home from playing on Sundays - it's now quarter after 2am and we'll probably finish watching this one show - House Hunters - I like that show and tape alot of them , then we'll go to bed.  What are some of your favorite shows, Darlen?  Have a good morning.  Hugs, Wendy

Yes Darlene, we do get a lot of kids at Halloween as we live in a sub division they bring the kids in by car.  Although last year we didn't get as many as they year before.  One year I think we got close to 200.  The outside of the house is a bit decorated, but since we'll be sitting at the end of the drive I doubt they will even notice the decorations.  Had my brother in law and wife over for dinner tonite.  Made a huge pot of hamburger soup Thursday nite and had a lot leftover so I thought this would be an easy meal to have along with garlic toast.  Had some cake left that I made last nite, so that was desert.  Easy but still not.  I have to cook when we play dominos with our friends on Sunday afternoon.  She cooks one week and me the other.  I 'll think of something easy  - I hope!  Have a great Sunday - hope it easy and relaxing for you.   Hugs, Wendy

Hi Darlene, Thanks for getting back.   I'm not on the Hill everyday but trying to keep in touch.  Lots of other good things going on in life. Golf is certainly one of them. I'm playing at least a couple times a week sometimes 3 times and I'm in a league with my 20 year old grandson. That's a blast!   Talk about age sneaking up, we just celebrated my oldest son's 50th birthday. WOW! But all is going well. Hope all is well with you and George. Catch you later!

Blessings,

Paul

Hi Darlene,  I kinda got tired of being online a lot and the Hill was the first to go.  No I haven't been sick.  We actually got snow a couple of days after Christmas and got 6 inches last night. So spent some time with the snow blower today to clean up the driveway and sidewalks.  This snow and cold weather puts a halt to my golf playing.  Yup, I am the golf guy.  Glad to hear from you and hope to catch up later.  God Bless -  Paul

I enjoyed your page.  Have a good week.  Smiles, Nancy
