Good morning all. It has been a busy couple of days. I did go shopping for Ken's birthday present but the only thing I could find was two pairs of boots and some ski pants for me.
I had 5 pairs of boots in my cart but ended up putting 3 back. I could not turn down boots for $8. The ski pants were $10 marked down from $40. Hamricks is my favorite store for good deals.
Ken still had a good birthday. We went to Bonbon's and we ate those fantabulous ribs. We had the leftovers last night. We had almost half of the ribs left over. I added baked beans, homemade slaw and sweet potato fries, deviled eggs, and coconut cream pie for
dessert. I asked him what his favorite pie was and I thought he would say apple or something easy. Nope. He wanted coconut cream. I have never made one of those, but it turned out splendidly. I had never made meringue either. It was easy too. I guess I should have gotten deep-dish pie crusts because I had a bunch left over. I put that in little pudding bowls and Ken stuffed Vanilla Wafers in them. I liked it that way too!
On top of all that, my brand-new heat pump stopped heating the house and we woke up to a cold house. Had to call the man who installed the unit. Again, he said he had never seen it happen but some wire broke. It was an easy fix after he found it (took him about an hour, working in the cold). He only charged me $80 which is good for a service call. He always works me in when I have a problem which I sure do appreciate.
The coffee is great this morning and it is already up to 34 degrees. At least it is not raining. It is going to get up to 46 so maybe I should try out those ski pants.
Stay warm!
I'm thankful that wasn't here lol
I did order quite a few things from them and was mostly pleased.
