Nov Queen "FROGGIES_GIRL"

BELLEVILLE, IL(Zone 6b)

bout 5 days in that pic, 10 days now. Eyes should open soon. Took pics of some prev queen babies last night. Ill sort through today and post

Ocean Springs, MS

Oh, I love those babies! My daughter wants a drawf bunny, but I am debating. When her mouse died, she was so upset. Couldn't even stand to keep the cage in her room. She is so sensitive, really overwhelmed by any kind of loss because of Hurricane Katrina. She panics if she can't find something. Poor baby, she lost her innocence way too soon. After Katrina, the only toy she had was a Polly Pocket. She held onto that little plastic doll like it was gold.

This Queen is cleaning house today, getting ready for Colt and his family for Thanksgiving. Liam is coming to stay tomorrow! Can't wait to get my little man! :)

Susie, talked to Moma this morning and oysters are going for $65 a sack, and $25 a quart! Bet they are salty this year because of the lack of rain! We got a quart, but we will fry them.

Queen Julie, Your box will be going out this morning! Should be there by Friday, but you know how the USPS is. I hope the holiday doesn't hang it up somewhere between here and the palace. This sounds like a busy week in the Kingdom, your Majesty!

So you have a great day BBL

Ocean Springs, MS

Betty, around here, lobsters go for about $19.99 a pound! Those Maine lobsters were cheap and the best I've ever tasted.
Growing up on the coast of MS, many of my uncles were fishermen. We always had fresh seafood! Daddy would catch mullet and go oystering when he had time. Remember when my uncle would come home after being on the boat for a week. He'd boil, fry, and make gumbo with whatever he brought home. When our plate was put in front of us, we did not ask questions, we ate whatever was there! No waste back then! :)

I'm enjoying my last week as Queen! Now which of you is coming to cook my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow? LOL

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

Yes, Susie, I do want to plan a trip through our country's heartland. One thing on my bucket list is to go on an archeological dig (for dinosaurs...they fascinate me)! Most of the digs are in Montana, so I will definitely get together with you then.

Just wanted to stop in real quick to say "THANK YOU" to Linda Kay and Patti! Got your boxes a few minutes ago, but I could only take a sneak peek because everyone is here for thanksgiving Dinner! Love everything. Will try to post pics tonight when all calms down! ♥

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Take your time Julie. Enjoy the family and give those babies hugs from us!

Ocean Springs, MS

Happy Thanksgiving, my DG family!
I had a blessed day with my children, grandchildren, Moma, and my aunt Louise yesterday! We cooked, talked, laughed, ate, took pictures, and made Christmas crafts with the grandchildren. My DDIL took pictures, so as soon as I get them, I'll share.

Got 2 boxes from my ladies Patti and Linda Kay. My kids were calling me Queen and my youngest daughter was hovering over me while I peeked inside. Did take pictures of Patti's, but I had to get back to the family.
Patti, thank you for a beautiful box of goodies! The dishtowel is lovely. Love the fleur de lis hangers! A mardi Gras print and mask that my daughter wants (I'll put it in her Christmas stocking. She love masks!) And a red cross with a fleur de lis in the middle! It is absolutely stunning!
Linda Kay, got your box and love everything! Still haven't had time to look at everything, but i love what I've seen! Thank you!

My cousin is researching our family tree on my maternal grandmother's side! My aunt Louise came over yesterday and showed me a picture of my great-grandmother Corean. I have heard stories about her over the years, but when I saw the picture, I was in awe! My cousin said I was Corean's reincarnation, and put my picture next to Corean's! here's the picture. I am amazed!

Taking the kids shopping today just to get out for a while. Everyone have a blessed day! ♥

Glad you like everything Julie. Enjoy.

Mount Sterling, KY(Zone 6b)

Your Highness you have another box scheduled to be delivered tomorrow according to the tracking. I hope they are right this time. The last package I mailed took way longer to get there than it was supposed to. Fingers crossed that it shows up tomorrow. Check your Dmail for tracking info.

Ocean Springs, MS

Checked my dmail. My mailman is the best. He always meets me with a smile. he has gone to part-time because he is retiring soon. I will miss him.

Thank you all for a month that has made me feel very special. You have treated me with royalty! Still have a few more days before I relinquish my crown. ♥

Barbourville, KY(Zone 7a)

I am so sorry your highness, you can send me to the dungeon if you like. I had your box ready Wednesday, got busy with Thanksgiving and promised myself I would mail today but I feel terrible. I've picked up bug of some kind, headache, sore throat, etc. I won't make it out today but will try to get it mailed to you tomorrow.
Again, I apologize for being such a procrastinator. I have disrespected our Queen.

Ocean Springs, MS

Turtles, your Queen is patient and forgiving. You get better and mail it when you can. My birthday is Dec. 17, so any late boxes will be royal birthday surprises! :)

So what do you all think of the fun Being a queen for a Month :) ? so far anyway :) Going to make up some check mix goodies today . My neighbor handed me 4 boxes of chex cerial last night when I took them super so that was the hint :)
so off to find the recipies for them , u all have a great day.

Ocean Springs, MS

Susie, being Queen has been a beautiful experience for me. I am feeling very pampered and loved! And I don't mind if some people are late getting boxes to me because it just means that I have more to remind me that I'm special! :)

What kind of chex mix did you make? I usually make 2 large foil roasting pans full for Christmas. The kids love it. I add things to it, like cheez-its and zatarain's seasoning (little bit of heat). I think I might try a small batch of smores mix. The possibilities are endless.

Y'all have a good evening. ♥

Oh my gosh,, I woke up with the worst cold!! I feel just like poisondartfrog,, whaaaaa,,, no mail went out today so sorry....
