The word I was thinking of for you was "amazy", a combination of "amazing" and "Godly". No word in English quite captures your virtues so I had to make one up. But it was still playful banter because even the new adjective doesn't fully express the degree of your goodness.
Unfortunately there's a big stripe of baked beans covering the middle of my monitor from when my spoon slipped during breakfast, so I couldn't read your responses. Perhaps you could repeat them so I could see them lower on the screen.
Remember in Little House when they brought in bowls of snow and put molasses on it so it turned into candy? I think that's the NEXT amazy thing you should do.
Maybe when I make an error on a blog I shall know this guilt of which you speak.
Erin, Little House the books or Little House the TV show? I remember when it snowed under the lemon tree and they made Italian ices, but not the molasses incident.
Erin and TRT, I read that in the book series. I would have to 1. Plant Maple trees. 2. Wait hundreds of years. 3. When the sap runs, have a big party. 4. Boil the sap down. 5. Have the cherubs run and get pans of snow. 6. Pour the boiled down sap onto the snow to make molasses candy. 7. Blog about it.
She and the other Laura, and all the other children, scooped up clean snow with their plates. Then they went back into the crowded kitchen. Grandma stood by the brass kettle and with the big wooden spoon she poured hot syrup on each plate of snow. It cooled into soft candy, and as fast as it cooled they ate it.
Carla, I say go for it. I mean, you could probably find an existing maple tree thereby skipping numbers 1 and 2. If you want, I'll come help boil the sap. It'll be like bringing a book to life. (As if Laura needs any help coming to life in MY heart...) Also, I'd like to say just how thankful I am to have found someone else WHO REMEMBERS THAT SCENE. Also, I originally said, "You are old." Followed by : ). So it would have been "ok," but I didn't want to cross the line, you know? Because you're not old--you're just older than me. But don't worry, I'll take care of you. You can count on me.

I love the looks on their faces!
Oh, and my friend Carla? She's anything but lazy.
Bet they loved it when you brought Autumn indoors, getting those big bowls of cold water everytime it rained.
Not lazy, no, but I can think of another word that ends with "azy." :)
The smiley means it's playful banter, btw.
If we wait long enough the bowls of snow turn into bowls of water right before our eyes. Crazy.
A smiley face after a jab could be considered playful banter.
Like this?
You are such a pig. :)
Or this?
You are old. :)

You go say all kinds of amazy things and I wrote...snarky things with a smiley face.
Now I have blog guilt.
Kind of like...
You make me sick:)
With a smiley face?
I am really into sarcasm, that might be good to know.

p.s. You are older than me.

Erin,
I know what you deleted. Fess up.
LD,
Got it. :)
Erin and TRT,
I read that in the book series. I would have to
1. Plant Maple trees.
2. Wait hundreds of years.
3. When the sap runs, have a big party.
4. Boil the sap down.
5. Have the cherubs run and get pans of snow.
6. Pour the boiled down sap onto the snow to make molasses candy.
7. Blog about it.
I have always wanted to do that! like Laura!
Ahhh. It goes from "I bring winter indoors to "have the cherubs run and get pans of snow." In -4 weather.
The truth emerges.
Read the book.

Grandma stood by the brass kettle and with the big wooden spoon she poured hot syrup on each plate of snow. It cooled into soft candy, and as fast as it cooled they ate it.

Thank you, Laura. I mean Erin.
What a great idea! I'm totally copying it!
