She goes to the litter box and gives the old college try, with no results. As you know, I've always used mineral oil to keep her regular but that isn't working this time. So off to the vet we went. Suzanna got an enema! The result: All Clear! Oh but what a mess!!<br />

</div>Good News!! Monkey the cat has been found. Once again, my brother-in-law Charlie came to the rescue of a cat. The flyer above is what Charlie used to identify Monkey. <br />
Charlie was standing at the sink on the second floor of the Manse at the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green when he looked out the window and saw a cat on the roof. He noticed that it looked a lot like Monkey, the cat on the flyers that were taped to trees in the neighborhood. He immediately ran downstairs to get one of the flyers, a can of cat food and a bowl of water. Back upstairs he opened the window and made the identification. Monkey raced inside, grateful to be fed and safe. She was missing for two weeks. <br />
Charlie called the phone number, and Monkey's Dad said that he was at work but would be home in an hour. When Dad arrived he called Monkey's name and she came running to him.<br />
Monkey has been to the vet for a check-up and all is well.<br />
You might recall from a previous post when <a href="http://teabagwoman.blogspot.com/2009/10/suzanna-didnt-feel-well.html" style="color: blue;">Suzanna didn't feel well</a>, it was Charlie who told me what to do.Candy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05638154287454491236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581716993074832683.post-53163768434555060932011-04-17T11:06:00.002-07:002015-12-05T18:00:08.498-07:00Feed the Hungry DinnersIt's been a while since I posted about our monthly <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5567333_organize-feed-hungry-dinner.html" style="color: blue;">Feed The Hungry Dinners </a>at the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green. Nothing has changed. We still hold the dinners on the 3rd Monday of every month. I'm still on kitchen duty. We have the same volunteers and picked up a few new ones.<br />
<br />
The dinners usually consist of: Fruit cup, salad, main course and dessert and coffee. For the main course we've served pasta with meat sauce, bread and butter; homemade chicken pot pie; corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and bread and butter; turkey breast with stuffing, vegetable, rolls and butter.Candy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05638154287454491236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581716993074832683.post-44944604583389399502011-04-17T02:36:00.000-07:002011-04-17T02:36:13.397-07:00Bumble Bee TunaThis is a pretty good story and a 'thumbs up' for Bumble Bee tuna.<br />
Back in January I bought a can of Bumble Bee Tuna at the local supermarket. The can wasn't dented nor did it appear damaged in any way. Then one day I went to open the can and I noticed that the top was flexible. I could press down on the top and it popped back up. That's usually not good. It's an indication of an improper seal. I did not open the can.<br />
So, I contacted Bumble Bee by email through their website. They were quick to respond by email advising me that I would be contacted again.<br />
A short time later I received a letter asking that I send the can of tuna to Bumble Bee's laboratory for examination. A postage paid envelope was provided. I sent the can of tuna to Bumble Bee. Within about 2 weeks I received another letter advising me that an examination showed that inadequate vacuum had been drawn inside the can. Bumble Bee also advised that I was correct in questioning the safety of the can.<br />
Along with their letter, Bumble Bee sent 3 coupons for a free can of tuna and several .25 cents off coupons.<br />
Thumbs up for Bumble Bee! <br />

I bought it as an investment, and here's why: <a href="http://www.dolanspringschamberofcommerce.com/"><b>Dolan Springs</b></a> is 80 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, via the old route. (currently the only route)<br />

The new <b><a href="http://www.hooverdambypass.org/">Hoover Dam Bypass</a> </b>is set to open soon which will shorten the drive time to Las Vegas by about a half hour. So with the problems that Las Vegans are facing with the highest rate of home foreclosures in the country along with many other drawbacks, some folks might consider living in Arizona and working in Las Vegas. With that in mind,<b> </b>Dolan Springs would be an excellent alternative. The land there is cheap now but when the bypass is completed later this year (2010) I, and many others, expect that the price of land in Dolan Springs will skyrocket! If you're interested in buying investment property, you can do it online.

We had one table with items from the Church's thrift shop, and one table with baked goods. All donated. I spent most of the day carrying items from the thrift shop to the tables outside. The weather was sunny and warm but just a little breezy. Good turnout though and it was a lot of fun. I think we made more money from the bake sale than the merchandise sales.The Bloomfield Presbyterian Church in Bloomfield, New Jersey was built in 1797!

Last night was the monthly <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5567333_organize-feed-hungry-dinner.html">Feed The Hungry Dinner</a> at the Church. It was cold and snowy outside but despite the crummy weather, we served 50 guests. We also strayed from the usual menu of pasta with meat sauce. This month's dinner started with tossed salad, the main course was homemade <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_6016268_bake-shepherd_s-pie.html">Shepherd's Pie.</a> For dessert, marble cake with chocolate icing.

</div>Last night 12/11/09 was the annual Holiday Dinner fundraiser at the Church. There were 80 people in attendance. The decorations and table settings, all of which were done by volunteers, were beautiful. Red and green and gold lent a warm atmosphere to a joyous occasion. The entertainment was also performed by volunteers; a reading of the classic story, T'was The Night Before Christmas; songs ranging from Silent Night to Rockin Around the Christmas Tree! The cost of this event was $8.00 per person. Here is the menu:<br />
<ul><li style="text-align: center;">Shrimp cocktail</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Prime rib, twice baked potato and mixed vegetables <br />
</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Neapolitan ice cream with chocolate and raspberry sauces</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Coffee, tea and mixed fruit juice<br />
</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: left;">Where else can you get a meal like that for $8.00? We have a fundraiser dinner every month with a different theme and menu. The entertaiment usually coordinates with the theme. Next month is tentatively Chinese food. The price is always $8.00 per person. p.s. as usual, I was on kitchen duty.<br />

</div>On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus and his reindeer will be busy dropping off toys to boys and girls all over the world. Yay!! That is a lot of traveling. Rudolph and all the other reindeer sometimes get hungry during the trip. So here is a very special recipe for Reindeer Food. When sprinkled on the ground outside, it sparkles in the glow of Rudolph's Red Nose and makes it easy for them to see your house! <br />
<br />
</div><ul><li> 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal</li>
<li>1 tsp. each - red and green decorating sugar</li>
<li>1 tsp. granulated sugar</li>
<li>1/2 tsp. cinnamon</li>
</ul>Be sure to sprinkle the Reindeer Food before going to bed! Rudolph will be looking for it with his Red Nose.Candy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05638154287454491236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581716993074832683.post-14711077658634015232009-12-07T05:32:00.002-07:002009-12-22T15:53:21.875-07:00Holiday Bazaar Fundraiser at the ChurchThis past Saturday (12/5) was the annual Holiday Bazaar fundraiser at the church. There were over 50 vendors selling their handmade crafts, and some not handmade. Some of the volunteers baked cakes, cookies, brownies and all sorts of goodies to add to the bake sale section.<br />
I had offered to volunteer, so I was on kitchen duty. We served soup and sandwiches. The homemade soups were wonderful…..chicken noodle and vegetable.<br />
Everything was going really well, there was quite a turnout. But then around 3 o’clock it started to snow. It wasn’t too bad because it was those big flakes that don’t stick to the ground. About an hour later it turned to sleet. People were leaving in droves and we weren’t getting any newcomers. Most of the vendors packed up early.<br />
All in all it was a fun and profitable day!Candy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05638154287454491236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581716993074832683.post-71542282128627087232009-11-22T15:26:00.003-07:002009-12-22T15:55:16.248-07:00Thanksgiving Wontons, They're Filled With Pumpkin!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik1RTRNJV6YYK4BjDirwaLls59N4BqxnT7hlAy1qjyhO45mw6h3PF8isQ9cOM1nrYdXqtTMRpPZSQOF6nj6xqCpwYeam-dWeeW-u0S_qnVFaB-0ziZvpnTY8sz97cP2jnErEULDvQzY4U/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik1RTRNJV6YYK4BjDirwaLls59N4BqxnT7hlAy1qjyhO45mw6h3PF8isQ9cOM1nrYdXqtTMRpPZSQOF6nj6xqCpwYeam-dWeeW-u0S_qnVFaB-0ziZvpnTY8sz97cP2jnErEULDvQzY4U/s200/012.JPG" /></a><br />

The tickets are free, but you have to request them in advance. I went twice. The first time that I went, everyone in the audience got a Cuisinart Panini Griddle as a gift. That was fantastic!! A bit cumbersome walking around New York carrying something that weighs about ten pounds. But I'm not complaining. The second time, we all got a box of Minute rice and a Cadbury chocolate bar. Oh well. Again....not complaining!<br />
If you're going to be in the New York area, it's easy to get tickets. It just takes some advance planning.<br />
Here is the site for ticket requests:<br />
