Just in case you want to try it out:
My Banana Nut Bread
½ c margarine
1 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c flour
1 c mashed bananas (about 3)
1 teaspoon soda
3 Tablespoons buttermilk OR 3 T milk mixed with 1 teaspoon
vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cut up PECANS
Melt margarine, mix margarine and sugar, add eggs and
mix. Add remaining ingredients. Fill
greased loaf pans a bit over half full and bake in 350 degree oven for one
hour.
Let
the bread cool for about 15 minutes then take a couple of tablespoons
of margarine and put over the top. I usually just take a dab of
margarine, stab it with a fork and run it over the top of the warm
bread. It melts and makes the bread even more yummy.

The 'Berryhill' Sale
I entered an estate sale with a couple of friends of mine who actually make a living hosting estate sales. We had decided we would go junking on Fridays; estate sales, garage sales and junk stores just to entertain ourselves, but today we get first hand before the estate sale. So we enter this estate sale with anticipation, but, once we got in, we saw the enormous amount of stuff this family had. Walls and walls full of things, loot stacked to the brim on everything in sight, junk leaned up in stacks against the walls, beds overloaded with piles of... stuff. Nooks and crannies had items in it - there were years of collections stuffed EVERY where!
Most estate sales are very organized, well priced and it's easy to access all the items. It was obvious to my friends and I that this person was a hoarder and even though everything had been sorted, cleaned and priced, there was entirely too much to be able to display it nicely in this very small home.
Each room we strolled through got deeper and deeper. Customers were having 'cheek talks' to get around each other. At one point, I looked at my friend and thanked her for not taking and having THIS sale. We laughed about that sale for the next month or two.
On one Friday, I picked her up and she was unusually quiet. She kept looking sheepishly at me, until she finally said, "I need to take you to Berryhill". Come to find out, 'Berryhill' was the sale she had accepted the day before. So she took me to Berryhill.
Let me back up a bit; she has been in business for 40 years doing estate sales and she was my mom's best friend. Since I am near her, she asked if I would be interested helping out. As my energy allows (it mostly doesn't), I go to her newest estate sale and help (?) organize for it for the upcoming sale.
I was not prepared. Her daughter was not prepared. Browsing through the top floor, it was a piece of cake. They (we?) could easily whip it out in no time.
Ha! Then we went downstairs...
It is actually pretty fun going through other people's loot, however, this latest - "the Berryhill sale" - was overwhelming! It is quite a (hoarders) challenge.
Here is what we were faced with going in:
Two floors, two outdoor patios and one barn chock full of STUFF.
Yes, she had taken the job. As I said, I try to help, but until I get to Bethesda and find out what I need to know, I have not forced myself beyond what I feel like doing. Until then, I go when I feel like it, whip through one itsy, bitsy pile or corner and pray I never hoard things like this woman has done.
I cannot even get IN to take pictures in most of the rooms!
Yes, the lady who has this house is still alive. She is 92. I figure she has been hording for 72 of those years in this very house. Yes, she still comes in to see what we have uncovered. And yes she still takes some to her new home - which is a problem since the ones HOSTING the sale have uncovered mounds of stuff, cleaned it, cleaned the room, set it all up to look wonderful for the sale - and then the owner comes in and takes this - and that - and that - and this... yet WE have done all the work, so the money earning items she has taken takes away from the percentage the estate sale seller could earn.
Thankfully her daughter brings most of it back.
And we laugh about it being my fault my friend accepted this sale, because I started it that fateful day by saying, "Thank you for not taking this sale!" I challenged her and -
She did.
Only worse.
'We' hope to have the sale ready by May 1st.
I think it may be a pipe dream.
It will definitely be a challenge.
Challenge accepted.
And blamed on me. Lol...

The Long Story of Why
It never seems enough... what I have to say about things going on in my life these days is a struggle.I love where we live, love my hubby and my family, so that isn't the problem. The problem is whatever is going on with my body.
I have trouble seeing now, my eyes are blurry from lack of tears. Not from crying, but from whatever I am dealing with... my mouth stays consistently dry, and no I don't have diabetes. Literally, my tear ducts have gotten smaller and smaller as the eyes get dryer and dryer. Because of that, I have trouble focusing - and some days are much worse than others. For that reason, I don't get on the computer much at all - which is also the problem with blogging. I do miss doing it, but to be honest, about 5 minutes on the computer is all I can master right now. I went in to an eye Dr and he gave me some drops to use after Bethesda. We don't want to mess up any testing being done there... we will see how the drops help.
I go to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD in April to see if they can help me. So many problems... I have trouble holding things and typing now. My hands don't work from some kind of weird arthritis (?) that set in after taking sulfa drugs. I have been off of them for months now and I still have this problem, which also adds to me not being on the computer. Typing has become an issue. I can do it for short terms, but not for long and so many mistakes... Between that and the eyes, I just don't play on the computer.
I swear I feel like I am falling apart. Some days I get up and know it is an awful day. Unfortunately, they are getting more and more common. It breaks my heart to see Steve in the morning and have to tell him it is another crappy day. I am sick of me - how can he not be?
So about Bethesda. How did I get to go there? It all started with sinus problems. One side of my sinuses stays blocked all the time. I went to an Ear/Nose/Throat Dr and he tried helping me with no luck. He referred me to an immunologist/allergist. I went, she questioned me and immediately said I had an immune problem. However, she did allergy testing on me, but told me prior to testing that she suspected it would come back negative. It did. Even the false positive was negative. I ran into that problem at another allergy clinic in Baton Rouge YEARS ago. However, this immunologist didn't let it rest with, "hmmm, this is weird..."
She took blood. And she called for me to go back and give more blood... and more... I have LOTS of blood. 59 vials when I finally started counting!
My blood work looks all peachy and great... my bad cholesterol is good, my good cholesterol is good, sugar is great... everything looks super - until you get to the lymphocytes. I have gone for an extensive health exam every year for 10 years now. There have always been some questionable things on my blood. Lymphocytes were always a 'little' off, and my C-Reactive proteins were always way off. However, not one Dr questioned the lymphocyte problem. Not one! Apparently, maybe they thought I had a little infection going on each time, but no one realized I had 10 years of crappy lymphocyte counts!
This Dr saw my lymphocytes were down and she did a subset count - dividing the different sets of lymphs and seeing which part was down. My CD4+ count was non-existent and another set was low. She didn't believe the results and tested again. They were lower. So, she tested for AIDS/HIV.
NEGATIVE.
She called another Dr. They retested for AIDS/HIV.
NEGATIVE.
They did other testing and a different blotter test for AIDS/HIV. Ask me if I am panicked at this point.
HELL YES!
EVERY test has come back NEGATIVE on AIDS/HIV. Confirmed negative, cross checked, double checked and triple checked by every AIDS/HIV test available. The tests are negative.
So my blood work was turned in to the CDC. They confirmed all the results. I am definitely AIDS/HIV negative. They turned it over the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD. Ask how scary it was to call Jewish Medical Center and National Institute of Health (NIH) and they already had all my records and they have been 'confirmed'...
When I finally braved it up enough to contacted NIH, they were already in the process of putting together a 'team' and were getting ready to call me. HUH?! They took 1.2 nano seconds to 'invite' me to Bethesda for further testing. So, that is how I got accepted.
I am scheduled for multiple CAT scans, blood work, DNA testing, x-rays, a biopsy of my saliva glands (complete with stitches), numerous other tests and I will see at least 7 Drs while I am in Maryland. They are going to try to see if there is some other reason my CD4+ count is so low. They suggest I may have a mast cell problem as well as my blood disorder... or Sjogren's Syndrome. Not sure what the mast cell problem is and too skeered to ask. Sjogren's makes some sense - and I do have 10 of those symptoms - but it is a result of my CD4+ count - not the cause of it.
Anything I have is secondary to my blood disorder. My blood disorder, in case you are interested is once again; Idiopathic CD4+ Lymphocytopenia. If you read up on it, it is not serious - unless you have a CD4+ count like mine - it is 61. 300-350 is critical. There is no cure; IGiV's will not help, blood transfusions won't help... nothing to help the count grow. Apparently, once it is this low, there is no fixing it. Had it been discovered before the 'critical' level, they could have helped. Not now. Every stinking Dr I see says the same thing.
So, since October 31st, Steve and I have been 'processing' what is going on with my body and what to expect. We have stayed on top of my continuous sinus infections, bladder infections and any other infection I might have pop up. Simple little things like if I get a scratch that gets inflamed, my body cannot fight infection because it doesn't have a clue there is a problem.
That leads to another problem I am having. ANY antibiotics I take seem to make the 'arthritis' problem worse! I have to take antibiotics to live, so how can we deal with this other problem?
We are trying to find Drs to work with Bethesda when I return. Not an easy chore... no one knows what to do with me exactly. I have a few good days, but mostly really crummy days where I feel like crawling under the covers and sleeping it off. We both agree staying busy will help. I try to stay as busy as I can, but sheer exhaustion stops me in my tracks. I have never felt fatigue like I do right now.
So that is my long story.
Steve and I had a weekend where we talked a good bit. I am discouraged because I have let my blog go as long as I have and I don't really know where to start it. I decided to let you know the crappy things going on in my life and start there first so you can have some idea of what we are dealing with.
I will post as soon as we get the results from Bethesda. Thankfully, I am staying with a dear friend over there. We will try to see a bit of DC while we are there, but I don't think we will try to see much. I am just not up to it.
The next few months will be sketchy posts with random stuff that has happened in the last six months and what is going on now trying to catch you up. It probably won't make a lot of sense, but I am bound and determined I am going to get it up and running again so I can regularly post.
I guess that is all I can do unless you have other suggestions. Feel free to offer them. This post has taken me weeks to finally get out. I want to blog! But I had to get this crummy stuff out in the air.
And say a few prayers for me. I think my blood could sure use them. :-)

Good Morning, This Week! Lol...
Been a rough week for us so I haven't posted. I have been sick with a kidney/bladder infection, had another autoimmune reaction to the drugs which causes the hands not to work, the washer is leaking like a sieve, the dryer broke, Steve's truck quit running and the fire pellet stove quit working.
YIKES! Can we have a re-do on the week, please?
Steve has been riding his bike in 20-ish degree weather because he won't take my truck and 'leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere' (home). I have been hanging clothes on the line in the same 20-ish degree weather. I ran out of clothespins, but not before my fingers froze off!
The chickens don't seem to care about the weather. I have 4 new chickens; 2 roos, and 2 hens. 3 are about 2 months old and Ms. Sara is about 1.5 months old.
Ms. Sara was hatched from one of Mrs Clara's eggs and she had to fly the coop when the other 3 came along. Her mommy didn't seem to care that I separated them, but I did. I had 3 monster chicks with one the size of a golf ball!
They all have survived and Ms. Sara seems to be the smartest of the bunch. I put them all in the coop with the 'big' chickens 3 days ago and have been working on teaching them to climb the ramp, roost and such. Today, I looked out at the coop just after daybreak and there is Ms. Sara marching down the ramp and out to the grass before the 'big gals and guys' had come out! Lol... she has it all figured out!
On the other hand, I had to go out two hours later and get the other three off of the roost and manually take them out of the coop!
I am getting ready to start another quilt! No, no, I haven't finished the others - but fellow quilters assure me I am supposed to have half a dozen going at once... so all is well! Here is the quilt I will be working on and the material I have 'auditioned' (so I am told) to go with it:
What do you think of my selection? Yeah, I don't know either...
And finally, I have started making cards again - trying to get back to the whole scrapbooking thing:
I am trying to keep my mind busy and active, get back to doing what I love and enjoying life. Some days are more difficult than others - like today, but I get through them.
I got a group of girls together and we are crafting on Wednesdays here at my house. It started off yesterday and I had 4 girls show up! Looking forward to seeing how this works out. I need crafter friends!
So that is what has been going on this week. I am not going to forget about my blog. I do have to figure out how to remember I need to blog (memory problems are awful here), but it'll be regularly. Hang in there!
And yes, we have the money to fix all the above brokens if we don't eat (ha!), but we just haven't had the time to fix all the above. Have no fear, hubby will get it done between the horse clinics and work.
Until then, can someone send a little heat our way? I hate hanging clothes as they freeze on the line. ;-)
And here is a little laugh... my dog alerted to something outside. I opened the door for her to tear off and stop just below the jeans on the line... she thought there were PEOPLE in them!
Silly girl! My protector.

Sinus Infection...
Today I have a sinus infection. I went to the Dr, my regular GP, yesterday - and he confirmed I had a sinus infection. He told me he would give me an antibiotic prescription, but, I should wait a couple of days and see if it didn't get better on its own.
He doesn't get it.
I have no cells to kick in and tell my other cells to GET BUSY and fight the infection.
I have to find another Dr.
Yes, I got the prescription filled and am taking it. But I am sick.
So today, instead of blogging, I rested.
Today, instead of taking any more time away from rest, I am going to share a few sunset pictures I have taken in the last week of sunsets:
And that is all for today.
Hope you enjoy!
Off to bed. All I want to do is sleep!

And Then Came the Frozen Fog!
Have you ever seen frozen fog? If not, you are in for a huge surprise!
Steve raced in to wake me on December 26th and told me to "Get up! Get dressed! Grab your camera and come outside RIGHT NOW!"
Curious, I jumped into action... thinking our 'little' Cadence had done something or my chickens were up to no good... but that wasn't the case...
When I opened the back door, I gasped at the sight. The fog was so dense and so cold! He encouraged me to head outside and check it out. Man, I never, ever expected to see what I was to see:
FROZEN FOG covered our little world!

Now tell me that doesn't impress you!
It was the most incredible sight we have seen to date on our little farm. Amazing!
Now what in the world do you call frozen fog? Frog?
Hmmm?
