Over we go!

Have a great day!

Stella, sorry I missed you, I was reading beer bread recipes and variations. I might try a loaf today, they sure do sound good.

I hope that Meaghan's mouth inproves, having classes and pain , and being hung over from pain pills is not fun.

Good afternoon all.
To many people with medical/dental problems at the moment to remember so I hope you all heal quickly.
Weather here has been very changeable. Both yesterday and today started off really sunny then changed to windy and chilly. Yesterday we also had rain and hailstones. Nearly 2 weeks until the official start of spring so hope the weather does improve soon

good morning ladies. just breezing through today. vici! i see you in my box! hope all is well with you! have a great day/night to the rest of you as well. off i go!

Everybody. FINALLY got a good night's sleep. (I took something) I feel SO much better.

There WAS a Tornado in Magnolia yesterday. I didn't see it, fortunately. I haven't heard about any damage yet.

Looks like I missed our lovely Mariana. She's not in my box.

Oh Broni. My sympathy! At least there's no tooth in there to hurt anymore.

Stella... has anybody put an ad in the paper ... lost and found..... for the flute? Offering a reward? Check pawn shops, too.

back, Gail. We missed your sparkling repartee.

Good to hear you had a good nights sleep even if you had to take something to help Heidi.
How many finches do you have now? I have lost track of how many you have bought and I know you lost some during your power outage and big freeze.

I have 8 total now. Everybody has arrived. I only lost 1 during the ice storm/ power failure/ deep freeze.

Heidi, I liked Gil's comment about the finches looking as if they had been painted. From the photos, they really do, I imagine it is even more so in person.

Glad you got a good night's sleep. sometimes we must "take something", I am glad it helped you.

Hi all,thanks for the concern about me while the cyclone is hanging around.During the night we had some gusty winds but not too bad.Had a little rain and now it looks like we are off the cyclone watch.The islands between Gladstone and Double island Point are still on watch.
Glad you are ok after the tornado Heidi and that you had a good nights sleep.
Off to work shortly..take care

Morning all!
So glad you checked in Nola.
Miz-T, beer bread? That's a new one for me. Let me know how it turns out.

Suzy, I have had beer bread before, my niece made it for Thanksgiving. The beer is in place of yeast, and the alcohol cooks out. It is a quick bread, no kneading, no rising and resting the dough. It is a heavier flavorful bread, Al and I like it. I found one recipe using whole wheat flour, that is the one I want to try.

Sounds delish, MizT.

MizT, I like a heavier bread every now and then, though I'm not sure what the younguns would think....

Good Morning SA8, hope you are all well.

Good afternoon everybody.
Heidi I was thinking of you yesterday. A bald eagle has built a nest not far from me. It is the first, or one of the first, times an eagle has been spotted in South Florida. We took the kids yesterday and had a great view of momma eagle and 2 babies in the nest. Daddy was out hunting for food. Momma sat on the edge of the nest and looked like she was posing for all of us.

Beer Bread is in the oven. I made this one by the Italian Bread variation, with good Italian spices mixed in, and Parmesan cheese, it is already smelling yummy.

If it tastes as good as it smells, I will share the recipe.

Updated TOPP list in honor of Judy beating Heidi and Stella getting her first:

19-Heidi

3-CynB
2-Suzy, June, MizTricia, Bean, Brenda
1-Stella, Julie, Viv
0-Tami

OH TAMI, what an experience for you and the boys. did you take your camera? Would love to see photos if you did. If not, your assignment for this week is to go back and take photos for us, only way we are going to get to share this with you, you know.

Tomorrow is the day I get to test all of the school "Pain in the backsides" I was told today that another teacher volunteered to take most of them so I will get lucky and only have a handful.

MizTricia, I could not get close enough to get a good photo. We had to use binoculars to see the eagles. It was a really cool experience. My camera does not have a strong enough zoom on it to get a picture. I tried.

Here is a link to an article about the eagle's nest. There are pictures also.

It is the first eagle's nest in Broward county in a generation.

GOOD MORNING S.A.8! I have bean very very busy of late. i'm in good health and mind [i'm not too sure]. Thank you Bean, Vici and Julie for your missing you messages.

There are 13 pictures with the above link. The first 7 are the same eagles that I took the kids to see. It was worth the drive which was about 25 minutes.

Let me be the first to welcome you back eaa. Glad to know that you are ok and was just busy. I was worried and I think a lot of other people were also.

Thank you TT,and what mischief have you been up to.

Me, I'm not up to trouble. No Sir, Not Me.

I will be happy to help you reach the next TOPP so you can be on the TOPP's list. My goal for SA 8 is to remain at zero TOPP's.

Well I'm still busy. I should not really B here.

eaa is back, yeah! Good to know you are OK, and will you please not scare us so much again by such a long absence? A "here I is" post is all we need if you are busy. You do not want us old ladies getting more grey hair cause of you, now do you?

Thanks for the offer.

Colour it dear, Colour it.

Still 6 to a tops, to far for me. Catch you later, must go and check the bread.

Now I'm off.

Oh! ok I'm goin' 4 it.

The TOPP is closing in. eaa, I hope you get it.
