The Joke on ME!

In a early post I put that a Baltimore Oriole show up at Christmas eve. Now he has been here ever since. I have keep him well feed so he would make it though the winter.

To my surprise .....I was outside this morning and hear him in the tree singing. I look up and there are two of them! Both Male. I was wondering how one little bird could eat so much. Now it would be nice if a female show up, as I don't think the two that are out there are going to be making any baby birds soon! Oh course it wouldn't surprise me at all for me to wind up with a few gay birds....lol. After all I never got to get a Bluebird to come to the yard. Even after ordering 2,000 meal worms on the Internet for them. I do wind up with the strangest critter in the yard...lol.

Now they shouldn't even be here at this time of year. They usually only migrate though here. So now for 2 months I have had two of them and finally caught them together.Well leave it to a man not to get direction on how to get back south....ROFL. So now we have Chris and Prancer out there.

The Broom

We have a small town in the Cape May area called Cold Springs. The town live like the 1800's. You can tour the town and buy things that were made for the time. I have a broom and it sit in the kitchen and has for about 5 years.

Now one day Maggie our 5 yr old granddaughter was have a snack at the table and it was like she just saw the broom for the first time! Now I am a firm believer that kids are to have fun with...lol.

Our conversation that day

Maggie...MomMom why do you have that broom there?

MomMom...Why Maggie that is my Witches Broom.

Maggie ...MomMom can you fly on it?

MomMom...Why yes I can, but we don't tell anyone!

Maggie ...I want to see you fly now.

MomMom...Oh honey I can't fly it now! It is daytime and I can only fly at night when no one see me.

Maggie...Well MomMom is you go flying tonight and you come over to our house, just don't come crashing into the big window! I don't want you to scare me!

Now I am trying my best to keep from laughing. You might think she knows about the way I drive! Now as time goes on and Maggie is here many times after that day, she never brings up the broom again. One night they were here late and Maggie comes up with the idea it dark out and she wants to see MomMom fly! Now I have to come up with a reason that I can't fly tonight!

Well Maggie ......I can't fly tonight as the broom is broken! I have to send it out to be fixed. With that she says ok but when it fixed I want you to fly to our house so I can see you.

Now she has ask me many of times when I am getting the broom fixed and I just tell her that they don't have the right parts at the witches store right now.

Now the best part is she is really into the Harry Potter movies. So she is wondering if MomMom is really a witch now...lol. Oh I forgot to tell you that I am a big Harry Potter Fan and she see all the stuff around here...lol.

So now I have one Granddaughter that think I am a alien and one thinks I am a witch. Oh life can be so much fun with the kids....ROFL.

Peace and Hugs Dee Dee ^i^

Snow, sleet, ice, rain ...OH MY!

Well it has been a roller coaster ride with the weather the past 24 hrs. We start with snow yesterday. That was nice while it lasted. Now that wasn't really to long. As the day went on it had turn to sleet, not good at all! During the night it chance to rain. This morning we woke up to frozen walks and cars that were covered in ice. Hubby went out and made a path to get to the car and it took awhile to get the car thawed out...lol. Off to work I go. Not to bad a drive, but as the day goes on we go from rain to sleet to the sun shining. Talk about some crazy weather. Now to top it off we lost power at work and have to close, not to bad for me as it time for me to go home anyway.

As I sit here tonight we have had sleet and snow again! The trees and bushes are cover with ice. I took a few pictures of it, but it was just a tad to cold to stay out there. We are at 18degrees and the wind is really going crazy right now. I hope we don't loss power!

Well that about it from Mole Hill and I am getting ready to wrap up in a warm blankie for the night.

Peace and Hugs ^i^

Story from my Grandaughter Emilie

There's nothing better than baking sweets right? Except eating them! Well I've got the best recipe for you. I call it Valentines Day Surprise.You can make them so tasty, all your friends will smile with delight and happily say that your the most brilliant creature ever.

The ingredients are simple. Start by taking 2 cups of flour, baking soda,and eggs, and combine them in a bowl. Then , add some red sugar,
one tablespoon of vanilla, and 2 eggs. Mix these items as fast as you can with lots of love. Now for the secret ingredient. For extra special flavor, add some hand fulls of chocolate to taste. Combine everything together. Once all the bumps are gone , pour it into a well greased pan.
Place in the oven for 12 min. When time is out take your creation out and as they say in France, bon appetite!

Love Emilie

Emilie is 10 years old and loves to write. So Mom Mom is letting her put a few storys here. Enjoy.

The Laundromat

I will start this by reminding all that I was married at the ripe old age of 17....(I know I know way too young).

Now on with the story..Hubby was in the Navy when we were married and we spent time in Conn. and then on to S.C. I love the south and everything about it. Oh I forgot to mention this was in 1966. Now being from the north and not used to the ways of the south at the time, I had a few adjustments to make.

We had a small trailer that was in a very small trailer park with all his shipmates living there...well it had one road in it....lol. Now the trailer we had 8x35 ft and it had a washer in it but not a dryer. So every few day around I go to the laundromat to dry a few things, the rest of the stuff I hung in the small yard we had. Oh I forgot to mention it rains everyday at 4 almost like clock work. Now after a little time Hubby came home one day and said he just had to ask me something that has been bothering him, with this I said ok what. He wanted to know why I only took the white clothes to the laundromat to dry and not the dark clothes? I told him they have a sign on the door that says WHITES ONLY! and it is a big sign so I'm not taking the dark clothes in there. They have a lady in there to make sure you only do the whites only! Now being that I am young and not to much of the world, well you see before I was married I don't think I ever left N.J. Hubby had to sit me down and tell me what the sign met. WHAT NO WAY! You can't do that. Now I had no idea that this was happening and we were in the south as the desegration was going on. I was shocked to say the least and Hubby had to take me around to show me more signs because I just wouldn't believe him.

Now many years later I was home and the phone rings and it is my friend, and she tells me I have to rent a movie and I will know the part when I see it. She wouldn't tell me what to look for. So out I go and get the movie and low and behold there is my story in the movie!!!! Oh the movie is "We Were Soliders. At that point I said to Hubby they stole my story! It has been told many times and I knew someday it would come back to me...lol. I don't know where they got it from for the movie, but it is just a little to close to my story.....lol.

Well that my story and I am sticking to it!

Peace and Hugs ^i^ DeeDee

It is not a secret if it is known by three people

Who can stay still the longest

As I was about to get ready to go to work yesterday, I was just sitting here doing a few things on the net and caught out of the corner of my eye a large flapping. Well who has come for a meal....good old Hawkeye ( as I call him, I know real original ). I have to name a few of the special birds or Hubby doesn't have any idea what I am talking about.

Now Chris the Baltimore Oriole is in the bush waiting to have his lunch. I was only hoping that Hawkeye didn't see him. As bright orange as Chris is I just don't know how Hawkeye didn't see him! I couldn't go out and chase Hawkeye or Chris would have flew away too and put him right in his path. I just hate waiting out the drama between the birds. As it turn out Chris stay real still and Hawkeye left not to long after that. I don't know why Chris is still here, it is much to cold for him and he should have left. But as long as he is here I will keep him well feed. Oh I name him Chris because he show up on Christmas Eve and has been here everyday since.
Have a great day ....Just a little happening from Mole Hill NJ

Peace and love DeeDee ^i^

Work ...work and more work

Today was a fun day at work. The sad part was that our Asst Manager is been transfer to another store and today was her last day with us. In the time that Mary has came to the store to work with us, Mary and I have become friends and have had a lot of fun time and great laughs together. I will miss Mary at work and I hope that she has a great crew to work with at the new store. It not to often that you meet someone and connect right away. I wanted to get Mary something before she left and just couldn't think of anything special, Then it hit me I would give something of myself and hope that she would like it. I gave her a photo I took from the yard this past summer. We had talk a lot about the yard and the work that I do in it and how I spend lots of time just taking pictures. Mary was very happy with the photo and wants more for her dining room. Here is the photo that I gave her.

Mary I will miss you and the fun times we had at work. You know a job is a lot easier when you work with people you like.

The Butterfly is the sign for a new beginning and here's to a great one for you.
