Well. I have just been busier than a one-armed paper hanger lately.. We have been twirling at a fever pitch around the lake. My niece, M, has graduated high school, selfishly also turning 18 the same week, so there were TWO milestones to celebrate. My bro and his wife were here, so we got a good visit, then they took M to Peru for a couple of weeks, to visit Macchu Pichu, Cuzco, Lima, etc.. My SIL is from there, so they will stay with family, part of the time at their beach house.. must be nice..lol They're having a great time.. Here are a couple of pics of her at her prom, and her senior pic.. Not that I'm proud, or anything... And, in other news, we had the big yearly Auxiliary Barbeque today! We had it at our local horse ranch, in the arena.. we had pony rides for the kids, (and one adult) live music, boneless ribs, chicken and sausage, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, your choice of almost any kind of desserts, door prize drawings, a bake sale, with those ...199 days ago
Well, hello again!! Sorry I'm late for our swap reveal! I've been sick, then busy, and then having photo challenges!! I was Shannon's "giftee" this time, and am I glad! She is so clever. I got a HUGE box, filled with gifts and peanuts which my cats have truly enjoyed. Inside were 4 lovely gifts, wrapped in my favorite color... PURPLE! Plus a wonderful pack of Violet candies, and a beautiful note card! YUM. Then, opening them!! There was a lovely journal, perfect for blog ideas, or a great prayer journal, some note cards and a notepad, all with a great design. There was also a great dish with a blackboard center and a piece of chalk! And I got a Joy Jar!!!! Yea! The greatest joy thoughts on pieces of paper..when you need a dose of joy, you just open one up! And it's a pin cushion on the lid.. How handy is that?? Then there was an adorable apron to wear while I cook! I needed one, too.. It's a beautiful bright floral pattern. THEN, there is a bath set of wonderful ...238 days ago
OK, Kat!! Well, I'm finally back.. I've just not been myself lately.. don't know who I've been, but they're not bloggers, whoever it is! I must have spring fever! Been overthinking everything, and find myself just sitting and staring! It's beautiful today.. 65, sunny, gorgeous. We've had everything from 70's down to 30's, sunshine to sleet and snow in the last week!! And every time a new weather front goes through, I can tell it before the weather changes!! Well, Katsoup tells us it's the week to post where we compute! So, I didn't clean mine up as much as some people did.. obviously..lol but, it has everything I need close at hand!!lol Maybe too much "close at hand"? LOL Unfortunately, I also have cats that knock everything around whenever I move away from the desk! It was my grandmother's desk, so it's a little small, but I love it. So, there it is.. now go take pictures of where you blog and post them!!261 days ago
Sorry I've been sooooo absent lately! I've just been very, VERY busy! My bff has been off on vacation days, and seems to think I should spend more time with her when she's home all week!! She's about to kill me! We also had an Auxiliary meeting last week. Very weird stuff going on there! And I will be on the board for ANOTHER YEAR!!! Just shoot me now! Anyhoodle... my bff and I decided to make some Chinese food.. we used to do this fairly frequently.. it's somewhat hard, and time consuming.. but absolutely wonderful. So, we made our menu, bought our stuff, and Saturday I went to town to chop and slice, and spend the night so we could start early Sunday to feed 6 or 8 people.. It was a wild time, folks.. but we finally prevailed. Then, we did it again today!!! We're nothing if not psychotic! But, I must say, we are the queens of Chinese food. You won't get food that good in the buffet line.. and you'll never find egg rolls that good!! We made: egg rolls(40), crab rangoon(100), sweet ...
