Christmas time is coming

Yes, Miss Polly, it is a good place, even tho' Christmas is still a bit far away ;-)

Thank you Polly - a good store is any store that stocks 'owl fabrics' in my opinion and since you asked - I'd like pralines, please and thank you again in advance. jennellh

Old-fashioned, chocolate or bourbon? Polly

If we're voting....I'd vote Old-fashioned.

Butterfly

If we have a choice of pralines, I will take bourbon - for medicinal purposes of course!

Polly - the cookie fabric is just toooo cute! How festive that would be, lining a basket of homemade treats, and tied with a pretty bow and a cookie cutter.

OH! And I'm with Butterfly.... old fashioned please!

Praline experts truly prefer cold, crisp weather. Usually, that's just not going to happen here in the Swamp. One year, I had to resort to Plan B. I scrubbed the bathtubs and lined them with heavy-weight aluminum foil. That was the single cold place available. The children were delighted to skip bath time and DH (who will put up with any of my idiosyncrasies if they're named praline production) survived waiting until morning for his shower. I don't have to resort to such desperate measures anymore. Now I have some lovely marble slabs to chill for candy-making. The cemetery doesn't suspect a thing. Polly

Christmas Polly? Gosh, I was having a good day enjoying the cooldown weather at 88' and then you mention Christmas. (dh just hollered 88' is freezing a** cold) I'd take pralines any way they are. I don't know much in the way of sweets I don't like : )

You better be careful with those cemetery stones. Years ago dad got one that had been found on a jobsite. (not originally from that location) He put it out in the back yard as a stepping stone cause it was pretty and interesting. He started a trend in that once little town of Yorba Linda. Many years later behind the house Richard Nixon grew up in they put out a couple of marble slabs. Of course Nixon and his wife were buried there but dad started the trend.

Did any> Praline experts truly prefer cold, crisp weather. Usually, that's just not

Since we have a choice, I'll take one of each!

I could have kissed (and did) DH when he passed by a marble countertop factory one day and noticed a sign that said: "Free Marble-take all you want". He did. Nice pieces that get cut off or broken and can't be used make life wonderful in candy and dough making and make a very nice heat sink if I've got a dish that's too hot.

In fact, I no longer use my pull out wooden rolling board.

Where is the spew warning Polly ? I will clean the monitor, but you can send me the Praline as compensation, naturally I will take one of each as it is winter here.

Anythin' bar the bourbon - bleuch! Do y'all reckon the bourbon would be okay replaced with raspberry vodka?

I think we need to learn that every message signed by Polly has potential spew qualities. She rarely lets us down. And I'm glad!

I just can't decide so you'd better send me a sampler selection - again, thank you in advance.....jennellh

Wonderful gift ideas! Around here, everyone has to refer to Christmas as "Hmm-Hmm" until at least the beginning of October. LOL! Then again, maybe I'll get an early start this year. Yah, riiight. ;)

Howdy!

Taria: I didn't say it! Polly started it this time!

Got an email from the Ft.Worth quilt shop today: "...Summer is almost over." Bullsqwatchy! And this woman knows it! We have at least 2 1/2 more months of summer: what is she thinking? (I reckon her memory has been scorched by now ). I'm not even going to look at these magazines that tell me "autumn is almost here" and tout the loveliness of seasonal sweaters and new, exciting soup recipes-- good night nurse!

Kyle's Marketplace has some cute fabric, tho'.

R/Sandy--in sizzling n.Tx. --waiting to see which t.v. station sends out the idiot to fry the egg on the sidewalk (never fails)

Yeah, I know. We love her anyway : ) We are having a bit of a cool wave here this week. High 80's. DH reminded me we still have 2 months of hot weather. DD was born the first week in Oct., same day as her auntie. Mom always said it was the hottest time of the year here. Almost always over

100'. The last breath of heat and then things cool down. I'm ready. I don't have the Christmas stuff out yet but am looking forward to the build up around Poly's joke : ) Taria

Sandy Ellis> Howdy!

*snerk* I agree... heat index here today was 114 F. It got DOWN to 80 F this morning.... maybe by mid October we'll see the temps dip a bit... I hope!
