Hi Colleen,
Yes Robin Thicke is Alan’s son. I think they look a lot alike. I think Robin is the best guesser on the panel. Aren’t those costumes amazing looking. I keep thinking they must be very heavy. Usually I know most of the people that they unmask except if they are like a social media influencer or something like that.
I think the man in the window on that Hyundai commercial was Big Papi formally of the Boston Red Sox.
We have a TV in the family room and the living room also. Most of the time in the evenings we watch the same things but it’s nice to have the two TV’s in case we want to watch different things. We also have a TV in the bedroom.
I also always thought that it was weird that East Saint Louis was in Illinois. It’s like they couldn’t think of a different name or something. lol
I really like the Quacker joggers. They are very soft and feel like you are walking around in your pj’s.
I will try to post the recipe for the soup soon. I hope Ron will not complain about the potato soup. lol
Was it Aliza who was disappointed that the baby didn’t do more. I think that is so cute. after all this build up she was probably expecting a playmate and all she got was this tiny little guy who sleeps a lot. Maybe when he gets a little bigger and smiles and coos she will find him more interesting. lol I think as mothers we love the tiny babies because that’s when they need us so much and we realize that the time they are this way is short so we treasure it but for Aliza all that sleeping and snuggling is probably boring. She wants someone to play with. lol
Now I guess you will have to encourage Kylie to get her license like Adele did with Steph. I see how you can get around in a city without a license but in the country there is no public transportation so you really need a car and it’s so much more freeing if you can drive yourself and not have to depend on other people. Instead of being too young to drive now we have to worry about getting too old to drive. lol
Speaking of that do you have to drive far where you live to get groceries? Our closest grocery store is a Walmart in town about 15 minutes away. it’s not my favorite place for groceries but it’s the closest. Ours doesn’t have the grocery pickup. The next town over does though and Jenny has to drive through that town on her way home from work so on Fridays she places her online order and picks up on her way home from work. I’ll tell you something like that is a godsend for a young single mom.

Sue,
You’re welcome very much. lol We have sun today too so maybe you will get two days.
All I kept thinking was what good shape those women were in for 43 and 50 years old. I imagine the men were thinking something else entirely. lol

Hi Adele,
Well the steak house soup was a thumbs up so I will add that to the repertoire. Hope every one ate your chop suey without complaint.
I know I am not supposed to take my pills on an empty stomach although sometimes I do. I wonder if you couldn’t put a couple of crackers by your bed each night and maybe eat those with the pills so they are not landing in a totally empty stomach. Things may be more sensitive after the colitis.
I don’t remember you telling us that Sonny had jaundice. If you did I missed it. Every time I write Sonny I think of the character Sonny Corinthos from General Hospital. or wasn’t there a Sonny Corleone in the Godfather?
I didn’t know babies with jaundice can’t drink breast milk? Why is that? I thought breast milk was always good.
I just know the modern day pumps are a far cry from what we had back in the day.
Did you see the “smart park” commercial during the Super Bowl? it was for some kind of car i don’t remember which one but all these people were talking in Boston accents and they mentioned Saugus and I think Big Papi was in the end of it. If you didn’t see it google it you will love it.
Also I think one of the guys on the Masked Singer this year is Gronk. Jamie Fox was one of the guest judges and that’s what he guessed and i think he is right. One of the clues in his package was four score and seven years ago which is 87 -which was Gronk’s number. I think he will be on again Wednesday-the costume that he has is the white tiger.

Hi Colleen,
The game was a good one. Glad that KC won. How did Ron like the half time show? A lot of booty shaking going on.
Hockey is a good game and fast paced. We like to go see the Rockford Ice Hogs. They are the farm team for The Blackhawks so some of the guys you see might end up eventually on the Hawks. It’s so much more convenient than seeing the Hawks though. Parking is right there connected to the stadium and the tickets are so much cheaper and all the seats are good. It’s a good night out.
I’m thinking that the Quacker show will start to show spring things. it seems once we hit February they start showing sandals and swimsuits and capris.
I bought some of the Quacker joggers and I like them. Very soft material and comfy.
I guess the Chiefs are from MO because the stadium is on the MO side. It is kind of weird when you think about it that Kansas City is in Mo-but it’s in Kansas too. lol
I hope you can get one of your grands to post a picture of Grayson.

Hi DD,
Love those pink butterflies. I wish I could see real ones like that.
Yes, groundhogs day is just a fun old myth as spring will come when it is darn good and ready.

Colleen,
The first episode of The Masked Singer is on tonight after the super bowl. After today it will be on Wednesday from now on starting this Wednesday.
Watch for the Weather tech commercial during the Super Bowl. That’s where we took our dogs when they had a cancer.
Glad that you got to see the baby. Did he wear the outfit that Ron got him yet? I think I’m going with the soup even though it’s going to be warmer today.
I know what you mean. When it gets too warm in the winter in our area we will get bad weather when the weather changes back to cold-sometimes even tornadoes.
Yes, since the Chiefs are from Missouri they should be the team to root for. I guess Ron has been off football since the Rams left. Someone on another thread asked if Kansas City was in Kansas or Missouri-lol Which if you’ve never been in the area i can understand the confusion-actually there is KC MO and KC KS but the team is from the Missouri part as that’s where the stadium is. lol
Actually Feb 4th is national Quacker Day-look for shows on Q1 and Q2 that day. I think a live audience show too.

Hi Everyone,
I hope Adele and Colleen got to see the new babies this weekend. Adele, I hope that the people at your house aren’t starving to death yet. lol
DD, I know that you like basketball so please talk about it as much as you want. We like all sports talk around here.
Anyone have anything plans for Super Bowl Sunday. Some years I make appetizers so we can nibble during the game but i think this year i am making a crock pot soup. Haven’t decided for sure yet. Jenny’s having appetizers and said we can come by if we want but I know Greg would rather stay home and watch the game where we can actually hear it as the grands aren’t really conducive to actually watching the game. lol
I wanted to go out tonight but then got lazy and decided I wanted to stay home. The cold weather makes me want to hibernate much as I like to go out to places. I’m getting lazy in my old age.
I hope February will bring Barbara back to us with good news about her health.
I am enjoying that the days are starting to last a little longer. It’s actually supposed to be in the 40’s tomorrow.
