going out w/Dooney & Burke


I must trudge out into the carolina countryside Wed-SO here is my purse ready & waiting. I love the hearts & the multicolored zipper that Dooney & Burke use. I worked at Lord & Taylor in Jewerly~handbags & hoisery. As an employee I was fortunate to havea nice discount~but this was a lovelty Christmas gift from my beloved a few years ago, He is sweet. At 1st I put my crochet in it ~HEHEE~ & toted around the house- I loved that-but that is quite an expensive crochet bag-HAHHA & it cant hold all that much as far as crochet goes. So I eventually broke down & use it as it was intended~my purse.
~~~~My venture out this week will be Dads Dr and then the little mans 6 mo dental cleaning & I must have yarn and assorted other life neccessities--like milk.~~~
My mom decided to do most of the cooking for this coming Thanksgiving. This is ALWAYS something my dear Husband appreciates, Not necessarily because I cant cook-I learned from her-BUT she just is a professional, Actually, since birth I think. I do believe that when she was born she had a complete set of pot-pans & bake ware with her. SHe had her own catering buisness & I was her trusted helper as a young girl. WE cook different. I dont eat: dairy-eggs-cheese-NO RED MEAT, little fats. I will eat fish & poultry occassionaly...I love potatoes & vegetables & soda crackers & sourdough breads & friut juices. My DH on the other grew up in a very Jewish house - yes, Kosher foods and MEAT & more MEAT & Bagels galore. My mom adores him, she can cook pretty much anything and HE eats it & loves it. ( He NEVER had real homecooking B4 he met us) She cooks & he praises. It is a wonderful relationship. So I figure since all my arm operations in the last few years, I have trouble & cant navigate the kitchen as well as I used to, so I give mom the cooking platform. She has commissioned me to gather storage containers & bakeware & bring to her & she will fill them up..hehee..SHe will. Actually I have to meet them in town this Wed at 9am for dads dr appt-he had profuse bleeding last week & has been having trouble with his legs?he is not really forthcoming about it-except that he has allowed a dr appt & I take him & go in with him-DR had blood tests done & they came back his coumiden level is very low so he is on larger dose & we go in for to see what Dr says this week. Then, since DH will still be out of town I have to take the little man to the dentist a few hrs later, AND most important I NEED WHITE YARN...and milk. heehee. So I must wander out in the world to accomplish these tasks. I will go back to moms next WEd & pick up all the food & bring to our house & mom & dad will come here for Thanksgiving day. We have more comforts like big TV's & DVD movies & computers & things for the child to do here & Ahh BUT she did request a few of my freshly dried herbs mostly ROsemary & Basil...HAHA. Beyond my oven drama I do know my way around herbs.
heres to Dooney & Burke escorting me out.

Well, you are sporting in style with that special bag. With a bag like that the news from the doctor and dentist has to be good.
