Common Ground Coffee House #103

Good Morning Everyone!

I love Thanksgiving cause I don't have to cook for several days!

Today will be spent.......Painting! At least today I get to paint a pretty color.

See ya later!

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,


Sure is good to be back in the land of the living. Thanks for the Chicken Soup & the Cough Syrup Ann. I think it did the trick.


Just got back from a funeral for a buddy of mine I went to college with. He was 53 and collapsed in the shower, and was probably dead before he hit the floor. Sure makes you think.


Reminds me of the Pastor who announced to his congregation that "everybody is this Church is going to die." One Man in the back pew started laughing hysterically. The Pastor demanded, "what are you laughing for?" "I'm not a member of this Church!" the man replied. Sure wish it worked that way.

I brought in Bacon Appetizer Crescents, and Hot Parmesan Artichoke Dip for those of you watching football, and Country Salisbury Steak with Cheesy Smashed Potatoes, Pasta-Stuffed Onions, and Black-Bottom Banana Cream Pie for those who aren't watching football.

Sorry folks, I have to take a break from Turkey for at least 24 hours.


To my attentive Nurse Ann - If you yell "Robby!" I'll at least look in your direction, but your son will be the one who comes running. I will mention you in my will though, It'll say "Hey Ann!, How's the horse, and the sailboat?" :laugh:

 

Mornin!!
At least my lonely days are over...my Honey got home last nite, & had to get up & go to work this morning. She seemed to enjoy her trip, got to see most of her family. Me & BH made the best of it, & I even managed to get most of the mess cleaned up fore she got back!!!

 

Good Evening Everybody,

It's been a busy, busy, day so I'm just getting in.


I'm tired, and a bit lazy tonight [ I heard that TONIGHT!!?? - Now everybody look innocent ], so supper in the Coffeehouse, and at our house, will be Easy Bistro Chicken, Crispy Confetti Salad, Parmesan Bow-Tie Skillet, and Creamy-Layered Fruit Sensation. Enjoy.


They're all "No-Brainers" so even if I'm tired, and lazy, I can't mess them up [and believe me, at times, I can mess up boiling water]. :laugh: :tongue3:

 

I guess my anti-virus isn't working well, because I've got a sniffy, coughy kid tonight.:tongue3:
:wavey:

 

Good Morning Everybody,


I can't believe it. It's the end of November and it was 50 degrees here at 7am,headed for a high in the 60's.


It took awhile, but we've found a new Church home. Jesus has led us to an IFB church that is warm, and welcoming, and where the Word is unashamedly preached. It's good to be Home.


I brought in Fruit-Filled Petal Rolls, Breakfast Calzones, Mini-Sticky Pecan Buns, and Sausage and Cheese Potato Casserole. Fresh Banana Pudding Smoothies, Mixed-Berry Smoothies, and Peachy Strawberry Smoothies. Enjoy.

Today, after my chores, I'll start putting up Christmas decorations, outside lights, and tonight after a dinner of Cheddar Chicken & Rice Skillet, Cheesy Smashed Potatoes, and Chocolate Cream Ornament Cake we'll all decorate the Christmas Tree.

We decorate it a little differently. Each night from now to Christmas Eve every person will put one ornament on the tree, we finish on Christmas Eve,when the Lighted Star is placed on the top of the tree. Each night we read a few verses of Luke's account of the Nativity, ending with the Birth of Jesus which we read on Christmas morning. Time for me to do my chores, then get the Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree up. I love this time of year.

 

We are still looking for a church. Last week the visiting pastor said he didn't understand the book of Revelation and that if it were up to him it wouldn't be in the Bible.
IFB churches are few and far between here in England.

 

Hi Sheila, I appreciate what you are saying. When I came home each year, I ued to preach in Anglican Churches around the countryside. They were all evangelical.

I was ordained under the Baptist Union, and the theology was rather mixed in those days. There were a number of independent Baptist Churches that were sound in theology.

Cheers, and happy searching,

Jim

 

Good Morning, All.

Ed told me yesterday that I had not posted since July. I said that is impossible. I have been posting at least once a week or more. Then I realized. I have been doing most of my posting in the Private Women's Forum.

My old posting time has been taken over by getting children off to school.

It is really a blessing to have these two grandchildren with us and we are learning so much about this younger generation. We spend half or more of our time taking them to all their activities and I haven't spent this much time at school in many a year.

Let's see... we are learning all about horses, dogs, soccer, and martial arts, football, and music that makes no sense whatsoever.

I see many new faces in the coffeehouse along with old friends.

Have a great Lord's Day, everyone!

Betty

 

Good Morning Everybody,

It's in the 50's again today!

* SIGH * it's supposed to be in the 30's with snow showers by friday.

I brought in Hashbrown Casserole, Scrambled eggs with crumbled ham and cheese in them, Bacon, and Sausage Gravy with Hot Homemade Bisquits, and several fruit jams. Enjoy!

Have to get my chores done, then resume Christmas decorating.

*AHEM * as long as you "experts" are cleaning today you can come over and help me... hint...hint. I'll make lunch for us. Any takers? :laugh: :tongue3:

 

Okay Sue, you're on. I'll be there in 20 minutes. :thumbsup:

I do our dishes in the fireplace...how do you do yours?

 

Yes I do windows. You mean Windows XP or Professional? :smilewinkgrin:


Sue, you don't have a fireplace or a dishwasher???

Whose house was I at then?? Must have been Ann's or Cindi's.


I only do the paper plates in the fireplace, it saves time. :smilewinkgrin:
