I should open an urgent care clinic

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 9h

I tell you what, bud, I could operate one better than the one in our town. We were so excited last year to get an urgent/quick care in the closest town, ten miles from us. But whoever owns it has no clue how to run it. A while...

A cool clothing hack

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 11h

Ladies, you know those ribbons that are attached to the shoulder of tops or blouses sometimes? They're to hang the top on a hanger so it won't poke out the material in things that are jersey or cotton. But I always hated when the...

It's snowing!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 19 Feb

The snow has just started here in eastern NC. According to the weather channel, we're right on the border between snow and ice. I pray we don't get a lot of ice, it seems more dangerous than snow. I know a lot of you are in the...

So many answered prayers!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 14 Feb

I was remembering when our grandson Nathan was three years old and had major back surgery. He was a preemie (30 months) and only weighed 2 1/2 pounds at birth. He was a fighter and came home at 5 weeks. When he was a baby, his...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 13 Feb

Dale went to Walmart today (first outing since getting the flu last Friday) and came home with two dozen eggs! Walmart had been out for a while, so it was wonderful to buy some more. They were expensive, though...$11 for an 18...

Cooking mishaps

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 11 Feb

For those of you who have been cooking a long time, I'm sure you'll relate to this. The other day I had just finished frying some pork chops and was ready to make the gravy. I poured a can of Campbell's cream of chicken and...

A trip to the ER

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 8 Feb

This morning Dale was having terrible chills, body aches, and fever. I called the Rescue Squad and they took him to the ER at a local hospital. I suspected it might be the flu and it is. The hospital had run out of flu...

A new item on my bucket list

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 7 Feb

Do you have a bucket list? Mine previously included going to Scotland to visit a childhood friend, but too old for that now. But recently I've facetiously added two trips I want to take. One is to Brazil and one is to...

God is so good!!!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 5 Feb

I just got a call from the Radiologist to tell me that the breast biopsy I had last week is negative! Thank you so very much for your prayers and concern. It's scary when you wonder if you have breast cancer again. But I knew God...

Spring's on the way!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 1 Feb

We're having a warm day, it's so nice to not need the heat turned on. Dale's out mowing the pasture with the tractor and I'm cooking dinner. The fried rice is done, now I just have to fry the boneless chicken thighs and the corn...

Egg-stroidinary eggs!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 28 Jan

Between inflation and bird flu, eggs are scarce and expensive. We found a twelve pack at Walmart for around $4 which isn't so bad. It got me to thinking about substitutes. If sugar is an issue, we can use artificial sweeteners...

Another new debit card

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 24 Jan

It's a good thing I check our bank account on line. Yesterday I saw I had been charged $29.95 for a French tutoring course. My granddaughter loves the French language and French food, but I don't care for either. My Credit Union...

Old fashioned pulled sugar candy

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 23 Jan

Many years ago my Aunt Fannie made pulled sugar candy around the holidays and it was such a special treat. It was cut and wrapped in waxed paper and when she handed you a couple of pieces, you felt like you had won the...

Cold weather hints and hacks

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 22 Jan

I'm sure many of you who live in a much colder climate than we do in eastern NC already know these hacks and more. But we have three inches of snow on the ground and the temp at 2pm is 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Our winters are...

Getting ready for snow, but hopefully no ice

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 18 Jan

I know many of you are having much colder weather than us, but here in eastern NC, these temps in the 20s and 30s are awful. This week is looking to be worse. We're hoping to go to Raleigh Tuesday (a hundred miles) to pick up eye...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 11 Jan

I feel so sorry for everyone affected by the wild fires in California. I know a lot of the celebrities are rich enough to rebuild (some may have anther home or two somewhere else. ) And I feel so sorry for the people who don't...

O Christmas tree...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 4 Jan

If you put up a Christmas tree this holiday, have you taken it down yet? We did put up a tree this Christmas (58 years and counting), but it's still up. We didn't do any decorating other than the tree like we did for so many...

My new Christmas jammies

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42469) • United States 2 Jan

I usually like to sleep in long gowns, but I've discovered I really like cozy pajamas. I bought a new pair today at kohls and they're so soft and warm. Pair them up with my very soft socks and I'm getting sleepy. Do you have a...

I'm thankful for another year and so many blessings. I opened gifts at our daughter's house the day after Christmas while we were all still there. Dake took me out to breakfast this morning which I really enjoyed. We had...
