Simply Practical: best caramel corn

It's in the mid-seventies today and it's hot! I've got the a/c on to cool things down a bit! We are being inundated with ladybugs again! Something about this time of year! I think they are dropped down into heavily treed areas to control the pine beetle. They are all over my house! They get in the house, and they can sting! They leave an awful stench if you touch them! Can I say yuck? Seems like they are here for several months before they disappear again. And we've got kudzu bugs on our Myer lemon tree! They won't harm it, but they too, will sting and leave a stench! Do we always have to deal with bugs? I still get chiggers when I walk through the garden! So annoying! I'll be so glad when Randy mowes it down! How is the bug situation where you live?

The girls are here napping, so I thought I'd take advantage of my time! I don't have the baby so I'll probably get through this post. We've been eating good here this week! I made some awesome chicken pot pies that were worthy of repeating! So we had them two nights in a row! I also made some awesome black bean soup that was repeated as well. Tonight will hopefully be homemade pizza night. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow! The time moves back and we loose that hour of daylight! Makes for some really short days for while! Fortunately, in late December the days begin to lengthen.

I helped April prepare an extra bedroom for Winterlynn's pre-school! It has been so much fun! She's enjoying it and so is April! Now, I'm always looking for ideas that would be helpful in teaching her. I get to do all the fun stuff like printing and laminating! Winterlynn stayed so sick while attending her pre-school, so that was the major factor in setting up a homeschool. Now, hopefully, she won't have to take so many antibiotics!

Did ya'll have a good Halloween? We didn't have any trick-or-treaters. We never have! Guess the neighborhood children went somewhere else. The girls are up now so I'll finish! Ya'll have a good weekend! Blessings from Bama!
