About Me

My photo
I live and love in the small town of Marmo, Ontario, Canada. I am a mother of two wonderful young men and grandmother to a little beauty that owns a big piece of my heart. I have great love for my family and they come first in my life. Mollydooker is slang for a left handed person and lord knows I am as left-handed as they come. Waltz, by definition is informal, leading purposefully( my life). I will be sharing with you my ... Mollydooker's Waltz.

Good morning!
I hope that you all had a great night's sleep, now that the weather is cooler it makes for a more comfortable night that is for sure.
I have enclosed in this post a link to  a video that is sure to make you smile.
Gretchen counting, I just love it when she is on the second count and realizes she has signed  friend and then train, she is learning so quickly and she never fails to bring a smile to my face watching her.
I hope you have an enjoyable day !

Monday Morning

Good Morning!
I hope you all enjoyed your  weekend.
I am going to go to Belleville today to see the doctor again and hopefully it will be my last trip there for a while.
The weatherman has called for rain all day but luckily it is sunny out there today.
The weather had better stay cooler for a while, I know I won't be able to handle too much more heat.
Although I love the summer I also love to breathe when I sleep at night and my air conditioner is on upstairs at night to help me do that.
Last night as I was heading to bed the air conditioner decided to quit, and it is so stuffy and hot up there that when I awoke today I feel as though I have a cold again.
I hope that it can be fixed with a good cleaning on the inside so out of the window it will come today.
I hope you are going to enjoy this beautiful, sunny Monday morning.

Wondering What I Forgot

Good morning!
Well I hope you are enjoying your weekend, I know it has been a quiet one here .
I woke-up this morning and for some strange reason I am feeling that I have forgotten something.
I have checked my calendar and nothing is scheduled until tomorrow.
If I had made plans with any of you and am not where I should be, please forgive my absent-mindedness and call me to refresh my memory.
Have any of you spent a morning feeling as though you have forgotten something?

Friday's Favorites


                         Hot Pickled Peppers
Per pint of peppers in a pot place 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup pickling vinegar
1/4 cup cold water heat till boiling

In hot, sterilized jars add to each jar 2 or more cloves of garlic depending on your preference I use 4.
Pack each jar with whole peppers.
Pour hot brine over them leaving about 1/3" head room in the jars and seal.
They will take about 6-8 weeks before they are ready to eat.
Many thanks to Choking Sun on Flicker for the use of his beautiful photo of the Jalapenos!

She Can Always Make Me Smile



This little earth angel can always make me smile, even when I am feeling my lowest.
I always enjoyed my children and never thought it possible to enjoy being a grandmother just as much as I did being a mother, but I do.

I taught my boys sign language when they were young and I am so very happy to see that my youngest son and his wife have decided to start their daughter at an even earlier age to use sign language.
Signing with your children is a great method of communication...
My daughter-in-law's  blog is http://www.sofawned.com and if you pop in there you will certainly enjoy the reading.
Have a great Thursday!
