'Tis finally Friday. The gateway to the weekend. What are your plans for the weekend? Nothing much going on around here. I *may* have to make a quick trip for cat food but other than that, the errands are run, the grocery shopping was done on Wednesday and I don't have a thing on the schedule. Punkie's birthday is Sunday (as well as Cinnamon's). She's going to be 37 (OMG!!) and Cinnamon will be 10. So we'll be having a family dinner Sunday night and her order for the menu is, of course, steak on the grill with a baked potato on the side. Easy enough for me to handle. Gerry has an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) function to attend on Saturday afternoon but I don't think I'm going to go with him. We're heating back up and it will just be too darn hot to be outside in a park. Anyway, the only other thing on my to-do list is to bake Punkie's cake. Does anyone have anything good going on????? -- Piggy's Pad

Sounds like you are going to have a fun weekend!!! Happy Birthday to Punkie and Cinnamon! I didn't realize your daughter was so close to my age!
Nothing much planned here, cuz it's just too hot to go out and do anything. I have Petsmart covered so I don't have to work this weekend. We'll probably just stay in and try to stay cool! (NT) -- V~, 9:06:06 am, Fri, 07/13/07
Vicki, what's the status on your air conditioner? Were they able to find you a new coil or are you going to have to get a new unit??? (NT) -- Sandy, 9:26:42 am, Fri, 07/13/07
They are still looking for a new coil...... which I hope they will find, because it's the difference of a few hundred $$ vs. a few thousand $$. I don't want to commit to a new unit till they've exhausted all efforts on finding a new coil. We're doing ok with the fans and the A/C set at higher temps so as not to overwork it..... so I'm content to wait. Plus, to install a new unit, we'd be without air ALL day, maybe even 2 days. Right now, I don't think I can handle that! I'm rather hoping if they cannot find a new coil, the old one will get us thru at least August........ I can live with 88 thru the summer. I don't think I could live with 120 for 2 days tho! I wouldn't be able to leave either, cuz I'd have to be on Kritter watch while the guys are here working. (NT) -- V~, 9:30:29 am, Fri, 07/13/07
boy, good luck Vicki..sure hope they can find the coil they are looking for for you..... (NT) -- Kate, 9:42:47 pm, Fri, 07/13/07
Leon is gone for the weekend, races in Chicago so....I'm gonna do what I want WHEN I want to! LOL Golfed this morning, it was beautiful out and will try and go in the a.m. again. Might need to do a cat food run too, have some ordered but it didn't show up today! pppphhhttt!!! Have a nice weekend! Happy b'day Punkie and CInnamon!!!!! (NT) -- Denise, 4:07:05 pm, Fri, 07/13/07
Happy 37th Birthday to Punkie..and Happy 10th to Cinnamon!!!! Sandy, your dinner sounds delicous...what kind of cake will you be baking?? (NT) -- Kate, 9:40:49 pm, Fri, 07/13/07
me again...nothing much planned for us this weekend...just probably some yard work and, of course, get a few walks in!! (NT) -- Kate, 9:41:39 pm, Fri, 07/13/07
Kate, I envy you your walks. Between my hip and my ankle/foot, I'd be lucky to make it a block. I try to walk around our cul-de-sac when I'm not hurting too much but it's not much of a walk..........only 5 houses around our circle. But I think back to when Travis was a baby and I was babysitting him every day. We'd go out in the morning by 7:30 or so and walk our entire subdivision. Up and down each and every street. Even in the winter, we'd be gone for about two hours. He loved it and it was great exercise for me. I used to joke that unless I was pushing that little umbrella stroller with Travis in it, people wouldn't recognize me. Anyway, the cake. Punkie has put in an order for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Nothing too hard there. I think we're just a chocolate cake type of family. Only Gerry will break the mold on his birthday. He's likely to pick something off-the-wall like spice cake. (NT) -- Sandy, 10:22:21 am, Sat, 07/14/07
Can't beat a good chocolate cake with chocolate icing Sandy!!!!
So, Gerry goes "off-the-wall and orders spice cake ?? **grin** I love spice cake with Philly Cream Cheese icing!!!.... ask Rick, I always eat my Spice cake upside down.....I like the cake so I eat it first....that way I save the absolute best part the icing for last!!! I smoosh it onto the plate so I acually have to scrape it off!! **grin**
Enjoy your day!!! (NT) -- Kate, 2:27:56 pm, Sat, 07/14/07
So you're a spice cake kind of gal too, huh? Oh, well. I think you and Gerry can keep that kind of cake, although he eats his with regular white frosting. But you brought back a wonderful and very tender memory for me. When we were kids and my Mom would make a layer cake, we kids would eat the inside areas of the cake first, leaving the long "L" part and the middle bar of the frosting until last. Dad would get upset at us so if he caught us doing that, his fork would swoop in and take the frosting right off our plates. Actually, he was very smart.......he'd get his frosting plus ours!! At the time, it would just p*ss me off but now, looking back, what I wouldn't give to have him here to snatch the frosting right off my plate. But you're right about the frosting being the best part. We even used to scalp our brownies and eat that frosting last too. Oh, yum. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:17:18 pm, Sat, 07/14/07
