I say scone (rhymes with tone) However my daughter's in-laws, the Dad is of Scottish descent, says scawns.
When I was babysitting my just turned 3 year old grand-daughter a few weeks ago, DD's MIL messages me that she has made scones for the grand-daughter. So I told grand-daughter that they were bringing over scOnes, to which grand-daughter replies, "Oh, you mean scAWNs!" hahahahah
Toddlers are hilarious.
That’s how I say it too Damo
lol....well, you are both in the wrong of course.....but since you are both nice people, I`ll still talk to you.....
Loving your grand-daughter damo......she sounds a hoot......and she`s three already!!!
Yes she turned three last week. We'll have a big celebration someday! And both my daughter and daughter-in-law are expecting, so it will be a very busy year if we ever get back to normal.
Who made the bacon this morning?
I’m hungry!
It's coming to that here too. I really don't know what to expect in the coming days. Our numbers of new cases are starting to decline...showing that the social distancing is working, but they keep saying that this week is the pivotal week. So we will see what happens here. For now, most businesses are closed where we would have very close contact with someone. We are still open, as construction is still happening, and the oil and gas is an essential service, and we sell to them as well. I can't do my job from home either, so I'm still coming in each day and asking everyone to stay out of my office and talk to me by the door. If they need something...put it in the rack I have on my door and I'll get it once you are gone lol. I'm both grateful and anxious at still working. I'm grateful to be working...but at what health cost is it to myself and my family?So today our governor has issued an order for everyone to stay at home. We can go out for food, work, supplies, medical needs, and exercise. It's pretty much the same thing he told us last week except now it's an order rather than a strong suggestion
Wow...I feel like if the " social distancing " is working here to keep the number of new cases keep coming down, we will be in the same position here too, with limited contact with anyone. I feel for you, as that seems like it is a very long time to be isolated.ell as Charade mentioned above we have a stay at home order until June 10th. I just wish the governor would have given us a little notice. NC got a weekend to get themselves straight we got less than an hour and are looking at 71 days of this.
Here is Alberta our schools are closed. They didn't even give it any doubt. When they first closed, they said that the marks that all the kids have now, will be there final marks and will progress onto the next grade if the marks are in good standing. I give our school districts so much credit, the teachers have been using goggle classroom ( which they have always been using here with all the students ) on an even bigger level to be able to modify the rest of the year so that the students can still learn what they need to so that they are successful and ready for next fall. I'm sooo impressed with the speed at which they were able to adapt and do this. We were worried about our youngest who will start Gr 12 in the fall, that he will be missing some crucial aspects to have a successful Gr 12. They are working and able to connect with the kids for one on one if the student is needing some extra help with a particular problem. I can't say enough about our teachers here. I'm soooo extremely grateful that they have done this and are working through all the kinks with doing this on the flySchools still closed to students but staff has been in, figuring out what they’re going to do.
That's kind of like do you really have to butter the toast before you put peanut butter on it? I'm in the no department...the hubby says of course you do!!!! lol Both the jam and cream or just butter both sound delicious lol!!! I will add that we are also wondering how expensive airline tickets will be once our airlines start booking international flights again. I just seen a headline that another one of our airlines is laying off 15,000 people It is heart breakingThen there is the massive discrepancy over whether you put the jam or the cream on first!!!! That can cause serious rows between families......lol......I actually like a scone toasted with just butter!!! Lush.....
doing a quick stop in here!

Thank you for all the well wishes for my Mom. I talked to her last night. She seems to be doing good. Starting to feel more like herself more and more. My aunt and uncle also tested positive for the virus ( my mom's sister and her dh ) They were travelling together and caught it from someone at the memorial service. I think the number of people that contracted it from that one person is at 12 now...and that's just from the immediate family that we know of. There could be more now. Both my aunt and uncle are doing well too!
It looks like it's finally clearing up here. It's still cold around 5F or -15C and not looking to warm up until the weekend I'll just keep myself busy with the course work and day work and hope it's nice enough over the weekend to head outdoors for a bit. With Disney dropping that huge incentive for those who had their trips cancelled because of the virus, it makes me hopeful that we will hopefully be able to make a trip down early next year, as we made a promise to the youngest that if he did better in highschool marks than both his older siblings that we would take him to Disney and Universal! I'm still saving my pennies and grateful we are still working so I can keep putting those savings away!
Have a great day everyone!!!!! Stay healthy!!!!!!
That sound like so much fun. I would like to see LEGO Land, but feel like I am too old for the park. I would also like to visit Busch Gardens Tampa. I love the one ve have in VA.Now I have to start planning future trips to make me happy. We booked a package around Christmas for Lego Land FL and am going to stay on property. Got a killer deal on it and I think my kids will love it. Then Busch Gardens Tampa and back to Orlando. Two weeks in FL
How exciting. Are they close by so you can visit the grand babies?And both my daughter and daughter-in-law are expecting, so it will be a very busy year if we ever get back to normal.
Awesome news.Good news for my nephews wife, she tested negative, so can get back to nursing on Thursday......so far nephew is good too.
Great to hear this. I haven't checked on any of our Chinese restaurants. I hope some of them are still open.Could taste a little better tonight eating, and I sprayed some perfume and could smell that a little too. Dinner was nice, but maybe because all of the Chinese restaurants have closed.....I’m craving Chinese food!!
Butter and peanut butter on toast? I have never heard of anyone doing that. i will put butter and jam on toast, but peanut butter goes on alone.That's kind of like do you really have to butter the toast before you put peanut butter on it?
I love peanut butter. It is one of my favorite foods especially when paired with chocolate. i can make an awesome peanut butter and chocolate pie.Oh you lost me at peanut butter.......lol.......cannot take to that at all.......none of us like it and now I think on it I don‘t know anyone who does like it??
