A fun Friday night idea

My family LOVES Tater Tot Casserole. I could make it for them every Friday night from here 'til kingdom come and they would rise up and call me blessed.

Try it for yourself! The Tuinstra's are going to have a Friday night Tater Tot Casserole and Root Beer feast while watching "Turner and Hooch" ... a darling film!

Blessings,
Bonnie

I don't like to put my credit card number in online. Could you help me find a nice denim jumper somewhere nearby. Maybe at Meijer?

Of course your family is having tator tot casserole on Friday night. The Van Hekken's would but, Marty works late at the tire store and Timmy and Tammy are so active in youth group we usually end up enjoying a nice homemade pizza on Friday evenings. It's just so hard to coordinate all the activities for family with my Timmy and Tammy so active in 4-H, youth group, piano lessons, volunteering at the local library. My Timmy and my Tammy are reading to young kids on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at the library.

What happened to Tom's job at Perrigo? I thought that was how you afforded that big, fine home.

Carol,

So nice to hear from you! I haven't seen you since that last all night Creative Memories crop at my sister-in-law's home in March. But it seems as though blogs have a way of bring people together, praise the Lord. Tom was recruited by Steelcase last fall and got a HUGE, honkin' promotion, so we have been enjoying re-wallpapering the whole house! I found the most darling fruit border for my kitchen!

Let's do lunch at Arnie's sometime soon. I have a craving for Jogga bread!

Blessings,
Bonnie

It's about time you got yourself on here woman! I tried to post something earlier, but it came back to me something about your "family rating" and my topic of conversation was unacceptable!?! I don't get it - I was telling you what Bob & my plans were for Friday night. Anyhoo - please tell Maria that I was at Kohl's and there is a darling jumper, she should go tomorrow though, super saturday sales (that will Never happen again;)!!
Have I told you ladies (Carol - you're lucky that Timmy & Tammy are so well behaved...) that when I make Tater Tot Casserole... I have to make a separate pan of the tots... just for the triplets!?!?! (We learned the hard way - not worth it).

Marcia said...

Well hello there ladies. I just happened onto this site and Praise God its just what I've been looking for-some likeminded Christian women that love their families and their church...and their Sangria too! PTL! Well I'm newly widowed....Ralph went to be with the Lord a few years ago. I try to keep myself busy with my sewing and canning and such...oh and Maria-I can downright sew a mean jumper...so I'd be more than happy to help. Well more to come later gals...but I just want to say thank you for this site-its a true answer to prayer but the clock is ticking. I am supposed to go to some hog roast with a gentlman named Horace in a little while-so I have lots to do to prepare. I'm going to throw together one of those tots casseroles. Well ladies chat soon...have a blessed day!

Marcia said...

Oh and just one more thing ladies...please pray for God's will with Horace..he's a bit younger than I and can be a bit frisky...if ya know what I mean...so keep me in your prayers my new lil circle of friends. Sometimes that old devil just gets ya goin and a little of that special sangria and it like bein off to the races...well Godspeed girls...Love ya'll

Maria, if Marcia sews you that darling jumper I could have my Tammy embroider some apples and pencils on it if you would like. Her speciality is flowers though. You gals have a great afternoon. I'm off to whip up a coffee cake for tomorrow morning's women's social at the church. Should be fun everyone is bringing their favorite holiday sweater, so that we can exchange ideas for this year. It's just hard to decide which is my favorite. Toodaloo!

Bonnie,

So good to hear from you dear. I so enjoyed the opportunity to peruse your tator tot casserole. Doug is not a huge fan of casseroles, but I am sure I can get him to try that one. Who wouldn't love a casserole that is topped with tater tots. We will have to check out that darling movie you mentioned as well. Doug always enjoys a good movie night.

Maria,
If you don't find the jumper your looking for dear, you should head over to the Field's Fabrics in Jenison. Those lovely ladies are so helpful and could easily direct you to someone who could sew one up for you. I would offer to sew one for you, but my machine is in the repair shop. (I think it had something to do with me "accidentally" knocking it off the sewing table. I've been talking to pastor about how to better deal with my frustrations. My Doug says he has seen some improvements. Maybe I need to try some of that Sangria before trying to sew.

Ladies:

I was just over to that large shopping mall in Grandville and Younker's has all their Janzten bathings suits on sale. Are any of you sending your kids to Spring Hill this summer? My Tammy is going to be a counselor there for a couple weeks. Well, it's time to drop Timmy off at "Prayer and Pizza."

Oh Ladies,
It's been ages. I love your tater tot casserole, Bonnie. I think it's the best in town, hands down. Petey and I have date night on Friday. We normally go the Rainbow Grill in Grandville, but this week we are shaking things up and going to Hudsonville. It is so exciting. Petey spurges and lets me get carrot cake for dessert, yummy.
Oh dear, I didn't tell you ladies that we a little incident at the store today. I guess we schedules the crochey club and knitting club at the same time. When those groups go at it, it is not pretty.
Carol, I saw a special on Oprah about over scheduling our kids these days, I mean I know I don't have any kids, but I am just saying that Oprah was taking about it. Just a thought.
And Wanda, I know I'm just a newly wed with no kids so maybe I should just be quiet, but don't you think you are spoiling those triplets a little. I mean really, our dog Calvin only gets a half of bowl of dog food. No one likes a chubby poodle.
Oh my, I'm just babbling. Petey is so quiet after work, I have no one to talk to.
Maria, darling, we just got a wonderful shipment of denim in at the store, you should check it out.
Bonnie, I am so glad you started this blogging thing, it so wonderful. Your right, Praise the Lord. Well I gotta go, Toodles.

judy,
Have you been shopping at Fields again? Is that why I haven't seen you? I mean I didn't tell anyone about your throwing the mixer our the kitchen window.

Leroy said...

Thank God I know ya'll, or I'd be very frightened right now. Tater-tot casserole? Heck, my momma made that for me when I was a baby. You need a real man to grill ya up some vittles.

Maria said...

Oh ladies - thank you so much for all your wonderful tips. I guess I'm the last one to find a good jumper - I'll be in touch when I decide which way I'd like to go.
