Thanks, Sandy! I'm looking forward to the weekend when I can chat with Mandy more and hear how things are going. Happy that conditions in LA are improving. I hope you have a wonderful week, too! 💜

Thank you, Marji. Hopefully Mandy's cold only lasts a week. It's hard enough dealing with new things when you're well. And, yes, so proud of my girls. They are good people. 💜

Thank you, Deny. I can't even imagine being in the LA area right now. I also can't believe that the fires are still burning after a week. So many prayers for it to get put out. I hope your friends stay safe. 💜🙏

❤the air is so very toxic. Sad

Thank you, Diane. So many prayers going out. 💜🙏

Thanks, Pam! Right?! I asked her if she bought some soup from the store and she said no. She did find a warm honey and fruit type of a drink that they don't sell here. And Mandy doesn't like to drink caffeine, but Starbucks has good croissants and hot chocolate. Hopefully her cold will only last a week. I am grateful for all the help going to LA, too. Many good people in this world helping. 💜

Thank you! Yeah, Mandy has a cold and is dealing with lots of stress of new things. Hopefully it only lasts a week, as most colds do. She should be at lunch soon, so hopefully she'll be able to check in. Looking forward to the weekend when we will have more time to chat and maybe have a video call. 💜

That sounds like a good addition! ☺

Aww, thank you so much! It was quite a year! Thanks for checking in! 💜

They are really tasty! I have come to like dates! ☺

They are really good! I hope you do get to try to make them. ☺

Thank you, Sandy! I'm glad I did your recipe justice. I hope your taste will come back soon and you'll be able to taste yours. And I hope you are enjoying your beach time and that that is healing! 💜

Thank you, Mary. She is doing ok. Today is her first day teaching alone and she has caught a cold. We figured that might happen. I did send some Advil Cold and Sinus with her so hopefully that will get her through. ☺

Yay! Let me know if you do and if you like them. 😄

@@jenny_rice sure will.

Mom texted me this morning that they were delicious! And my husband really likes them, too! Yay! 😄

@jenny_rice Well...I have no doubt they are yummy, and will be enjoyed by you and your family! 🙂

That is so neat that your beagle sends you pennies! I love that! And, yes, little by little Mandy is settling in. She got her phone figured out today and bought some food to have in her place. Slowly but surely. And so many prayers being sent to California! 💜

We have been thinking about it. Wayne has been checking out flight information. If we do it would probably be near the end of Cassie's semester. That would be exciting!! We've been joking about the Korean phrases I know. I'll say to people, "Hi, I'm Jenny. I love you. Goodbye!' 😂

Thank you! Africa! Wow! So yeah, you know what it's all about. It gets better day by day. She's slowly getting things done like getting her phone straightened out and buying some food. She still would like to find a money exchange place to exchange some of her American cash. In time. So grateful for having the computer to communicate and see her. 💜

Thank you! 💜

Perfect comment ❤

Thank you, Pam! I'm glad the Principal gave her her first day there off to get acclimated. She went in on their Friday and had a good day so that made us feel better. She'll be in a routine after another week or so. Today she got her phone straightened out. She still has to find a place to exchange some cash but it's the weekend so she's looking into it. Slowly but surely. 💜

That's what I thought, too. Lessons learned. Mandy was supposed to tell the travel agent when she landed and so we figured she wouldn't let them know until after she was out of customs. That way it wouldn't matter how long it took the driver to be there because that would have given her time to get her SIM card and have it installed and get some Korean money and look around. But she is safe and sound so that's what matters. 💜

Absolutely especially when these kids are coming from different countries they know better

So glad Mandy got there safe and sound. It sounds like quite an exciting adventure she’s embarking on! I get Pennies from Heaven from my Mom. They do show up in the oddest places and at times just when you need to know they are there. Rest up Jenny and take care of yourself!

@@Sandy_Lou_Who Aww, sweet! So nice to get little messages from our loved ones beyond! 💜

Exactly. Give it up to God. 🙏

Thank you! 💜

Thank you! Yes, they are hard. Especially when she's going to be gone for so long. 💜

Thank you, Diane! She will have a wonderful year! Especially after her sister gets there and they will do lots of sight seeing together. 💜

Thank you, Sandy! Yeah, it's hard when they're so far away. I will hopefully feel less sad in a couple weeks when she has a routine down and her fridge filled with food and stuff. 💜

Happy your daughter arrived and it settling in. I can only imagine your anxiety and concern. Such a great experience for both your daughters. Happy New Year to you and your family Jenny. Stay well 🙏 looking forward to your next baking video. ❤

@@patriciaconstantino4774 Thank you, Patricia! I hope you are having a wonderful year so far! And a baking video should be coming on Monday. ☺

Yeah, she's my mini-me! ☺

Thank you, Marji! And, yes, it is hard to have a child living so far away. I hope you get to see your daughter at least once a year. Thank goodness for computers and phones that we can talk with and hopefully do video chats with them! 💜

Thank you, Deny! And, yes, I'm so glad she got out of LA! Those fires are so devastating. 😢

i have the same question.

Ha, ha! She is going to teach English as a second language (to kindergarteners I believe). So she'll be there for at least a year. If she likes it she may try to get an extension on her Visa and stay longer. ☺

@@danielbobberson9849 She will be teaching English as a second language to kindergarteners. ☺

@@jenny_rice wow what an experience....good for her and then I guess your other daughter is going to study there? I really felt your sadness. My daughter has never left except to do to camp...a year is a long time but these days you can stay in touch so easily. Thanks for sharing this.

@@danielbobberson9849 Yes, I am so grateful for the computer and being able to video chat her! 💜

Thank you, Wanya! That is so nice that your daughter is a nurse. I am so grateful for people in that position. And understandable that you miss your kids. 💜

Thank you, Pam! I'm sure the year will end up going fast but for now it seems like a long time. I'm sure she will have a wonderful time once she settles in. 💜

Thank you. I truly am blessed. 💜

Neat! My daughter went to Oshkosh University and worked in Appleton. I was surprised to know the Public Market opened in 2005! I don't feel like it's been around that long already. When I've been to Milwaukee, it's usually with a destination in mind - like the Museum or Riverside Theater or what was called the PAC so I haven't walked around much either. I have always noticed the buildings, though, and loved the decorative concrete. Wayne said we should go walk around in the summer when it will be nicer out. Very neat that you honeymooned at the Pfister! Did you notice any ghostly activity? I hope you are doing well and aren't affected by the snowstorm. 💜

@ This is day four of “snow days” - the 10th largest amount of snow in 10 YEARS. It’s sticking around tho’ bc they don’t plow snow on the side streets. Public school remains closed through at least Thursday. My 13 yr old grandson has enjoyed snow boarding, etc.

@@atyourside3123 Day four!! Oof! Neat that your grandson is enjoying it! That's what snow days are for! I hope it warms up for your soon so the snow can melt. 🙏

Thank you, Patricia! I hope you have a healthy fun-filled year! 🎉

Yeah, you have to sing the songs when you think of them! I'm glad to finally was able to see the Bronze Fonz! And the Market was neat to see, too. ☺

Happy New Year! 🎉

Thanks, Sandy! I have been to a few markets and have liked them. I'll have to try going more. Seeing as you're near St. Louis - have you ever been up in the Arch? I was when I was a kid. I'd like to take my girls some day. We were going to do that for our vacation in 2020 but then the world shut down so that's still on my list. I hope you have a fabulous New Year! 🎉

@ I have not been up in the Arch, my family has but I have a fear of heights as well as closed in spaces and the cars that carry you to the top are small and it’s not a quick trip, so I’ve never worked up the nerve to try it

@@Sandy_Lou_Who Understandable. I think going up in the arch was mostly where my fear of heights came from. When we were at the top my dad pretended like he was going to push me out the window! Funny not funny! 😜

@@jenny_rice sounds like something my Dad would have done🤣

@@Sandy_Lou_Who 😂

Ha, ha! Yeah, it was all such good food! It was fun to walk through and then sit up above and look around. I hope you have a fabulous New Year! 🎉

I know, right?! I told Wayne I wanted one of everything! Thought I might get a truffle after eating our lunch but I was full. I hope you have a fabulous New Year! 🎉

Interesting. I didn't notice when I was there. ☺

I have not been to Boston but would like to see it. ☺

Thanks! ☺

I think it would. I know they came up with this specific formula and people asked about the sugar and Dr. B said that as a one time treat this would be fine to eat. But I think it's mainly that because of the blue dye you can see that in your output and so can tell how long the transit/digestion time is. ☺

Thank you, Marji! I keep doing my best! Thanks for being here through my journey! 💜

Thank you! Yes, what a difference a year makes! I'm grateful to keep feeling better day by day. It should be a great year! 💜

Thanks! The grill is really nice! We used it again the other day and Wayne found out the lid does come off so that makes it so easy to clean! And the food tastes just like it was grilled outside. Honey and peanut butter. Sounds delicious. I've had both separately on toast but not together. Since we were playing a game on NYE I missed the celebrations around the world. My mom said there is a video of that so I'll have to look it up. I hope you have a fabulous 2025! 🎉
