OK!!! ihave a new square cupcake pan that I will be using tomorrow. The plan is to make banana, cranberry, nut squares. The original recipe is for a loaf, but, I figure to shorten the baking time accordingly. I hope this works.
Aldi's had great prices on dried fruit this week. Trader Joe's has the best selection, but, we'll stop by there on the way back from the Duke Medical Clinic next time I have an appointment.
I hope to have good news from the cancer doctors.
I have been looking for a great pie crust recipe. I have found three to try. I will only use the glass pie pans. The list of pie requests is getting longer from the grandchildren. I bet they will be great pie tasters for me.
Have fun! Be happy!

2010 - What will you bring?
We have past the middle of January, received the electric bill, was disgusted it was so high. We have had a lot of very cold days and nights and I have electric heat. I am home all day every day. I was sick over 10 days with a seasonal cold and had to keep the house warm. Hopefully, February will not be so cold. I can only hope.
One daughter heats with wood and the other with lp gas and their electric bills were in the $70.00 range, while mine $463.00.
I need alot of weatherization updates on my house. An agency was supposed to help last year, but, had untrustworthy employees who took advantage of my health situation and stole from me when they had been sent to help me. I do believe this agency may have been helping low income elderly persons in the two county area with similar helping themselves to persons items that would be discovered missing later after these men had left with the elderly being taken advantage of again.
I saw these men rumaging through items that had nothing to do with the HVAC as they were supposedly checking and when I did report to their superiors, I was told that if I reported this to the sheriff's office, this agency would be unable to follow through and assist me with my home
improvements to make my home energy efficient.
I did report the theft to the sheriff's office and I have reported this situation to the social service department that had recommended this agency. Meanwhile, I have outrageous power bills to pay.

NEW YEAR 2010
I am very glad to announce, Happy New Year to all my family and friends.
Instead of making new year's resolutions, I have decided to make weekly and monthly lists of projects that I can cross out once accomplished. I am glad to say my frame of mind is better and my thinking skills are coming back gradually. I have been working cross-word puzzles to help get my brain power back. I must say it is still very frustrating to have the wrong words blurt out, when I am thinking the right words, or the words get twisted together to form new non-words.
It could be worse. I am getting better. I am able to type and think at the same time.
Life is a blessing and I am glad to still have mine.
Much love to all my kids, grandkids, family, and friends. . . .
