Our wine glasses are too small to bother with unless you're having wine. Due to tendon issues with my left thumb, it's quite painful to hold a glass.. mugs are better. Michael bought some nice glass mugs because drinking water/iced tea from a regular mug isn't as nice. I've contemplated using our "good stuff". The problem is I have too much of it. Not only do I have the stuff we got for our wedding but I have my mom's 16 piece place settings and stuff that goes with it. I guess if I didn't want to load the dishwasher or hand wash dishes for a couple of weeks I'd have enough to do so but that would be mighty gross. 3 1

But it was a gift and I was curious about how it tasted. But I don't think I want anymore. it sounded very nice.. i would have tried it too ... maybe if you want some.. add something like soda water or gingerale. Or have friends over and let them drink it! 5

Use a couple of your 'good' things if you want to use them. Why not. You don't have to use everything all at once. 1 3

When I had a cat, I used to use the saucers for his canned food. That ended when I dropped a bag of milk on one of them and it broke. Who knew a bag of milk could take out a saucer… 1 1 1

Any saucers we have, we use to feed the cats tinned food. 1 2

And don't forget it is: I've got my shepherds pie going. You're right.. the meat mixture looks gross, but it smells good. Lol. Just have to wait for the onions to pickle... I'll add those to the veggie layer. I should have done those first. Have a great day everyone! 2 1

I make my mum's, which was her mum's, but there are no veggie layers—just the meat, cooked with grated carrot and onion and the mash on top. I'm craving some now, but dinner is already made! 3

Popular Post Kitt Posted May 26 Popular Post Posted May 26 I am not sure I know what to do with myself over this holiday weekend! We only have one horse move, a mini going to the parade tomorrow, that my daughter is handling. I get all 3 days off! I cannot remember the last time I got 3 days off in a row! ( Does spending a month in a medically induced coma count as off? If not, then when the world shut down for covid in March of 2020 was as close as I have come to extended time off.) Daughter is now towing without one of us with her, but she says she wants to stick to the littles and easy horses for now. Joke is on her tho, the little she has towed to shows this year and is taking to the Parade tomorrow has given me more issues than most of the other regular customers! But she like Daisy, so ... 7
Mikiesboy Posted May 27 Author Posted May 27 It is Memorial Day in the United States. A day to pay homage to all those who didn't come home. It's a solemn day meant for the contemplation of the cost of freedom. Personally, i'm glad none of the soldiers who gave up their lives anywhere, can see what is happening in the countries they fought to save. Rather than a picture on this Monday, i'll share this: 3
