Ever click on the add button and have no idea what you are
going to write about..but you start anyway?…. It’s one of those
days.. lack of sleep or whatever.. I still felt like making an
effort.
Word on the street grapevine is the people in that house..
(it has three apts.) may be getting an annonymous letter
adressed to the OCCUPANTS..that further loud music
late at night will always be reported to the police and to
the land lord, no EXCEPTIONS.. I mean whew.. I didnt
think of this ..but I am hoping it works. If they know that
we will call the cops EVERY SINGLE time.. maybe they will
cut it out late at night. There is absolutely no reason for it
at all at 2 and 3 A.M. We have called and called the police
many many times and sometimes they come and sometimes
they don’t show up. The druggies know when they are coming
for some reason and will turn off the lights and .WHAT
officer. we aren’t doing anything?!! Grrrr..I have to use
a cell phone to call because …EVEN THOUGH YOU ASK
the cops NOT to CONTACT you they will..no matter
what time it is. I HATE THAT TOO!
Keeping the good vibes going on this one.
Getting things together for the curbside clean up is going well.
I don’t nearly have as much as I thought I would. I have been
really making use of the garbage pickup each week with a little
of this and that so that I wont have so much to haul this year.
I feel like baking again today..I know it is hot out ..why oh why
do I do that to myself? Maybe I will make a cool dessert something
light and refreshing…
Ever hear of a frozen salad??
My girlfriends mom made it and I loved it..
Frozen Fruit Salad
1 lg can fruit cocktail
1 lg. can crushed pineapple
1 jar maraschino cherries
1 lg. package of cream cheese
1 cup miracle whip
1 small package of min. marshmallows
1 small container cool whip
Drain the cocktail and the pineapple and cherries good. Cream the cheese and
miracle whip together and add the cool whip then add the fruit and
cherries and marshmallows last. Place in 13 X 9 pan and cover with saran wrap and
freeze until set. Cut into squares and serve. Makes about 15 squares.
This used to be made with real whipping cream but I use cool whip.
I imagine you could maybe skip the cream cheese too.. but I have never
tried that as I think the cream cheese gives it the salad kind of taste.
Some people add chopped nuts too. I don’t like the taste of them in this
recipe.
Have a great Wednesday……….
I hate other people’s music being forced on me so I hope the idea works!!!!!! I will have to try that recipe. It sounds great!
nearly every time I sit down to write I have no idea what’s going to appear on the screen, lol.
so glad we have relatively quiet neighbors. There’s a few teenagers and once in a while there’s a party, but it’s never anything out of hand. We’ll see what it’s like this summer. but yes, calling the cops is a good idea… why didn’t you do it to begin with??? Just say you don’t want them to know it was you. anyway… good luck with that.
hugs and love

I sometimes set out to write a blog and can’t remember why. Sometimes my life is so boring even I don’t want to read about it..LOL But I do enjoy reading everyone else’s knowing that somedays even they are bored. That salad sounds delicious for this hot weather. If I make anything with cream cheese I use the low-fat kind.. The fat free doesn’t set as well in recipes. I have the cholesterol to worry about too. *sigh*
Hugs,

I know how it is. I don’t have that problem now but I have had from time to time as people move out and others move in near by. That sort of noise will pi*s you off, raise your blood pressure (for real) and just plain make living there a misery. There is no good reason to have to suffer in your own home but many times one has to or move. And you can’t keep moving. You did the right thing..or someone did, and I hope the police come out each time. That’s the absolute pits!
The salad sounds wonderful. What time are we eating?
I have been putting this and that out for the garbage pickup for the last few months. What amazes me is that they actually take it. I hope you get the loud music under control. For me it is the neighbor across the street who plays drums all weekend long.
