Not that much,but as I am home most times, I get to get things done and still be online... :)
Also your weekends are one day different from mine,so when you are still in your weekday I am on weekend/Friday!:p

Rhubarb and strawberry pie, Hmmmm my mouth is watering now.

When I am not here, I am out and about. Working. Playing with the little one, spending time with my Wife. Also cleaning, cooking , etc...

I used to be on every chanch I get but now I try to get on occasionally. I enjoy helping people out as well. It is important.

Hey hun! My apartment is OK for right now, we're expecting more storms, I think they are down in your area right now, or just past. How is everything down there? Not too much damage I hope.

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping for the cake
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon (or more to your tastes) cinnamon
OR
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut

Cake:
Cream sugar and shortening. Add egg. Beat well. Add dry ingredients and milk. Mix well. Add rhubarb and vanilla. Place in 13 x 9 greased and floured cake pan. Add your choice of toppings.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.

Thank you for posting this, Shy! I would like to try it. Never heard of it before.

Are you two OK, Erika and Shattered?
Storms and high winds with rain?

Everything good here so far! Thanks for asking! WE didn't have power for awhile yesterday, but I sat out back and watched the lightening storm, it was beautiful..
NO real wind or anything just a bunch of rain. Clouds are looking pretty dark right now.
I am so tired today though. I would love to snuggle under the covers and sleep... sleep.. but I can't. Almost time to make dinner and so much cleaning to do. I would rather leave it all and just sit and watch a good movie!
Everyone good? Any excitement anywhere?

Nothing much happening...
Everyone is still enjoying the weekend, it is rather dull today.

It is raining on and off here too for the last 2-3 days,but that is normal here.

Just one of those days, a few people want to go to the movies but I don't really feel like going. I just might fall asleep while I am there. Hubby is still working... I guess I won't be cooking a big dinner tonight! Just simple and healthy.
DID I MENTION I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING?? LOL
I was at super target and gosh was it busy!

Weekend shopping for everyone I guess.All of you must have had the same idea...

I'm OK! We had sunshine today and weren't expecting anymore storms until later tonight so we decided to BBQ. Well that didn't work out too well, it started raining.. lol.

Ooh BBQ sounds yum, too bad it rained...

Lucky you... hot burgers in rain.. ;)

I like mine spicy (by the way what meat were you BBQing?).

He then dedicated his next song to "those ghostly singing voices" haha
It was so awesome.
