Debby from Michigan,USA

Cool! I was post #800! Ho Ho Ho!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Debby, to you and your family!

The fireplace looks so inviting...be safe if you have to drive in this winter season...

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Debby. Have a great new year!

Debbie and family!

Debby! Wishing you a great new year!

Debby, thank you for posting the pictures of the Sudoku meet and Shiela's paintings. She has a wonderful talent. Wish I'd been there....

Thank you for thinking of me Debby. It has helped me so much to have received all the kind words of comfort when Mum passed away.
She was a special woman and will always live on in our hearts.

We still have large drifts of snow and of course there are huge piles from plowing. Still...50s today and 60 tomorrow accompanied by 2" of rain with 60 mph wind gusts -- I think the old snow just might be be gone "just in time" for the next 2" of snow forecast for Wednesday night. Ground's still frozen, of course, so expect mushy mud and flooding of rivers and streams and anywhere ice has been blocking drainage outlets.

Just popping in to say thank you for my birthday wishes - had a fantastic day with family & friends

Happy Valentine's Day dear one! A day of love and hugs to you!

Hello Debby - thank you for visiting my page and for your birthday wishes. I had a lovely day from start to finish even though it was a Black Friday!
Thank you for your comments on my photos, and yes, I do think I live in a beautiful part of our country. There's always something different to see.

Hello Debby
for your wishes ,it is really wonderful to have friends from all over the world and they all are kind and loving .
I had a very happy day with family and friends .

Hi Debby - the fire looks nice and warm -- looks like alot of snow for us tomorrow night. Regarding the "love Journey" it is from the movie FireProof -- I havn't watched it yet, waiting for it from my library. my Church is doing the 40 day challenge. enjoy your day, My son is off to Key West this month - oh, to be young and able to just kick up your heels and travel..

Debbie, Don't know what kind of lemon pie you had in mind, but I love lemon meringue pies. I hadn't had or made one in eons...well, quite a few long years. I recently had an extra pie crust and got my mouth set for lemon meringue pie. I bought a box of lemon pudding mix.. the kind you cook. I think it was "store brand"(generic). Fixed the pie filling by the directions on the box and also made the meringue by the directions on the pudding box. It was delish. I took it to a church dinner and got raves and even Mother in law told me it was really good. I found a crust recipe that is outstanding also. It includes an egg after you mix the flour,shortening and water. If you are interested, I will look it up and send to you.

Debbie, please forgive me for eavesdropping on a convo you had elsewhere, but please pass on my best wishes to your son on the occasion of his 21st birthday, a wongerful milestone.
Have a beautiful evening in celebration.

You lucky lady!!! To have your kids close enough to have them for dinner! When they become adults and move to different locations, that's a heartache! So enjoy for me too!!! Give them an extra hug and kiss for me.

Debby thanks for the note I live west of st louis so I imagine you go through this arrea on your way to poplar bluff. it's a nice area down there nd I wouldn't mind having some property there. but...... with two grandkids living less than a mile away....

Good to meet you! We don't have rhubarb here. Back around 1970, I spent some time in Minnesota. We had a rhubarb patch in the back yard of the old farm place where we lived. I learned to make rhubarb pie and loved it.
Here is the pie crust recipe. It is from a recipe book put together by the ladies at a Church of Christ in Nacogdoches, TX. 2 of my sons-in-law are from Nacogdoches and my daughters(their wives) went to college there. One daughter & family live there now.
This makes a lot of pie crust but it keeps well or I even freeze it.
Pie Crust
3 cups flour, sifted & measured
1 1/4 cups Crisco (veg.shortening)
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold water (from icebox)
1 egg, beaten pretty good

Cut Crisco into flour (orig.note: I use slotted spoon) Add water. Mix up fairly well. Add your beaten egg to this mixture and continue to mix it into dough with spoon. Divide into amount of 3 crust and wrap in wax paper. Lay on shelf in icebox and will keep for several days if not needed immediately. You need to let dough get to room temperature before using.
Note: I don't know if "ice box" for refrigerator or fridge is an age thing or a southern thing. I know Emeril (Lagasse) uses it on his cooking shows. I am old enough to remember having an "ice box" which had a big block of ice to keep the food cool.
Happy Birthday to your boys!

Hi Debby,
Thanks for your expressed appreciation. Everyone is so kind so I feel wanted here. It is one of those bad patches and the loss of the cat does hurt. Emma was a beaut cat-onality. Small, pretty, Main-Coon pedigree, feral - almost wild and used to romp with the local squirrels - indeed sometimes she appeared to think she WAS a squirrel. Still expected to appear but of course she doesn't. Sad

My dear Debby - I am just heartbroken at your sad news. Please know that I hold you in my prayers and heart and hope you can move through this tradgedy to peace soon. Sending you a BIG, BIG HUG my dear.

Thinking of you today Debby, take care, Mary
