Top Of The Morning To Ya!

Rea

Shelby

These were last years St Patrick's day pictures. I tried all last week to get some this years pictures for St Patty's day but with no luck. I'll try again today. Shelby's sick again with a sinus infection and sure doesn't feel much like smiling so who knows if I'll get any or not.

So here's today's green Leprechaun Recipe.

Leprechaun Pudding

(formally known as Watergate Salad)

1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix (can be the sugar free)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed.
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, mix together pudding mix, pineapple with juice, marshmallows. Fold in whipped topping. I added a few extra drops of green food coloring so it would be nice and green. Chill.

Look at what else is GREEN! It's my cabbage plant! Whho hoo, it's actually growing!

Muskrat Love

I need help around the house sometimes doing the things that Harry just can't do anymore. James is my help. He's a young man from my church that we have know since he was born. We were coming home from the hardware store the other day and on the radio this song came on. So the part in the song came on (I think it is around the 3 minute mark) where the animal noises are playing. He was like, "what the heck is that? it sounds like aliens or something" So I try and explain that it is Muskrats. I just couldn't quit laughing. Do you realise how stupid that song is? Why do I know all the words? That's just not right! What were the Captain and Tenille thinking?? What do you think?

Good Monday Morning to ya!

Muskrat Love Written by Willis Alan Ramsey, ©

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight

Doin' the town and doin' it right

In the evenin'

It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam

Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land

And they shimmy

And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled

and they tangoed

Singin' and jingin' the jango

Floatin' like the heavens above

It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon,

chewin' on cheese

Sammy says to Susie

"Honey, would you please be my missus?"

And she say yes With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy

Rubbin' her toes

Muzzle to muzzle,

now anything goes

As they wriggle,

and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled

and they tangoed

Singin' and jingin' the jango

Floatin' like the heavens above

It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...

Help

Does anyone out there own a 'Serger' and do you like it? What brand name is it or model #. I've just started looking for one and I'd like some help and advice. Where better to turn than to you friends. So HELP!

Please :)

Yucky Weather

It sure turned out to be an ugly weekend for this event. But there are still hundreds of people all up and down the road ways.

You Know It's Spring

When you hear the annoying

music and bells of the

ice cream truck!

Note to self:

Listen first, to see if you

hear the evil music

before you send Pop Pop

to take the trash up

front when he

has the Grand Girls

on the golf cart!

And warn him to never buy them the yuckiest tasting Sponge Bob ice creams ever again. And BTW the pink and yellow ice cream stains tiny little arms as it melts. Neither one of them finished these ice creams either.

And next time see if you couldn't talk them into the Nutty Buddy's so that when they don't finish it, maybe we can help them finish!

They have him wrapped right around their little fingers! Shame, shame.

Meet The Carriers

The oldest sister came down with it first.

Three days later the blonde.

Three days later the Mother of this lot.

Three days later the Gigi came down with it.

I think it hit me the hardest.

Yesterday morning about 4:00 AM

It woke me up and sparing the details

it was a long day.

This morning it's much better.

Just a little headache and weakness.

Thank you all for your well wishes.

I appreciate them all.

And just for your information, I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take the pink stuff.

It just makes me throw up more!

I just liked the picture and you got the point.

Hope to catch up with the rest of you sometime soon.

Did You Watch It?

Unusually Busy

Well my Friday started off my winning weekend by winning a prize from Our Best Bites!!

Kate and Sara have a wonderful food blog that I love and have cooked many things from their recipes. You've just got to check them out. It was their blog Anniversary and they were giving prizes to celebrate! And they drew my name, and I won!!

And this is what I got!

A 25.00 gift card from

Williams and Sonoma!!

Whoo hoo! I can't wait to spend it.

I'll let y'all know what I got.

Thanks again Kate and Sara

Harry and I left town around noon and this was our first stop in Jacksonville, FL. I took my sewing machine for a tune up. We were able to pick it back up on the way home Saturday. I can't believe that it sews like it's a brand new machine and it's 33 years old. It's only had 3 tune ups in all those years. It's a 'White', and the company is no longer in business. Shame.

We hit Orlando traffic right around 5:00.

Awful!

But a short visit here was worth it all.

Soon as we were thru in Ikea, Trav and Jordan met us in the parking lot and then followed us

here to eat supper.

Good food and good company.

After eating we went to our rooms

for a great nights sleep.

Yes! we had one of these for breakfast!

Poor Harry didn't get one.

Got to do a session with Trav and Jordan.

They were celebrating their 3

wedding anniversary and

1st Temple anniversary.

Wonderful!

Just miss seeing you, Papa.

Got some lunch here as we headed
back home, again, delicious!

Incountered more of this

because of this.

Saw lots of these groups.

And all I needed was a Hog and a black leather vest and I would have joined them. It was an awesome day in Florida. Not a cloud in the sky and 79* You don't have to wear a helmet in Florida and I'd say about half didn't have one on. Hair flying in the wind. Oh well...

But it didn't make for much fun driving on I-4 and onto I-95.

After picking up my sewing machine we got to the other side of Jacksonville and stopped here for a few things.

Spent to much money.

We got home around 7:30 and look what showed up 10 minutes later!

These little munchkins!

They missed us or maybe we missed them and they came to stay the night with us.

They slept really good due to the fact that they had been to the Jax Zoo with mama and Captain all day.

I sure felt the fact that we changed to daylight savings time!

ugh...

But we did get to church on time.

Needless to day I didn't do much of anything yesterday afternoon. Well, I did bake two loafs of wheat bread but that was about it.

Hope you had a slower paced but fun weekend.
