so we were having coffee ...

there were several of us planning an upcoming statewide convention that will be held locally next summer. One of the guys from the state is, like me, an avid gardener. One of the gals at the table knew I was a MG with hosta as a forte. She mentioned that I grew them, and I talked a little bit, and found out that he was into hemerocallis. I mentioned that I too was spending a lot of time playing with daylilies Well, we menfolk monopolized the conversation, talking about tets and dips and how we were finding that diploids don't seem to do as well here as tets, and the like.
This went on for about 15 minutes. And the women were very polite listening and, I am sure, rolling their eyes just like sometimes we guys have to do when the gals take a tangent.

heh heh

I love it when a plan comes together. Turn about is fair play.

bacon wrapped deep fried snickers: available at the state fair, ON A STICK!

and yes, there is a bacon convention in Des Moines very year! The 8th annual Blue Ribbon Bacon festival will be in DSM Jan. 31 Ã¢ÂÂ¦ so it is coming right up. Come on over, oh, that's right, tickets are pretty well gone.

I'll send my DH up for the Bacon Convention, he should love it. And Jo, that serving board with the.....whatsit on it....love the board. You can keep the stuffed loaf that looks like a whole ham with oozy creamy bacon.

We're doing the best we can here to prepare meals. Never have power when the electrician is here replacing wires. Whole house is getting new wiring, old stuff is 60 years old. I have an extension cord that I switch back and forth from the toaster oven to the coffee pot or the electric griddle. Thank heaven for the outdoor natural gas grill! If it isn't raining this afternoon, I'll cook dinner on it.

All the walls that were due to come down are already down, the doors are in, but the windows are boarded up waiting for them to arrive hopefully tomorrow. Then the NATURAL LIGHT should be fantastic. You know I was planning this remodel before I became hooked on hosta?
