Wed., Feb. 25Th...There's NOTHING like fresh, defective IGA tortillas. I ran to the store for something else. Had to walk by the tortillaria and there they were! The kids were so happy. Tues., Feb. 24Th...Baby, it's warm outside. This could be Wed. too. It is warmer than usual. I think we broke a record.

Mon., Feb. 23rd...As I walked passed DS's room I noticed these cleaning bottles nicely lined up. I asked him why they were in there. "I was cleaning." I thought to myself, "Cleaning? What?" He has been getting better.

There's no Sunday. I usually don't take any on Sundays.

Sat. Feb. 21st...I have two for you! We had a concert at the coffee shop. Here I am with two of my friends from church.

Here's my hubby and Ben. You can't see the other Ben (on the drums).

Fri., Feb. 20Th...First sign of spring! Our peonies are starting to come up!

Thur., Feb. 19Th...We don't get much rain at all, so I watered. It has been warm for a few days and I needed to wash the dust away.

We have sold 4 bags of pecans since I posted the pecan photo!

Feb. 14Th Sat...no, another hot air balloon didn't land in our yard. We have two pecan trees in our front yard. DH was getting ready to shake the trees. Let me explain. DH loves to have things just so and tries to make the work easier. Which is good. He also loves free things and loves finding uses for them. Hence the parachute in our yard. Yes, it's a military parachute. He took the chute out of the bag, cut the strings off. (I am amazed at how big it was.) His goal was to spread it around the tree so when the pecans fall he could easily (it's a process) dump (pour) them into a big trash barrel. However, as we were trying to spread the chute around the tree the wind was blowing up the chute like a balloon. It became a bit of a chore. He decided to wait until later when the wind died down. There was a man who drove by (I'm not kidding) four times. I guess it's not every day that you see people trying to spread a parachute out around their tree in the wind. Feb. 13Th, Fri...I grilled burgers. I haven't grilled in a long time. So everyone was very excited to have grilled burgers. DS would ask me every day for a week if we were having burgers.

Feb. 12Th, Thurs...I finally filed a BIG pile. While doing that I shredded a lot of old papers in our file cabinet.

Jan. 24, Sat...This one's for my new friend Brenda S. Yes, it's two McDonald's! You are looking at the new McD's going up. Next to it is the old one. Not everyday you see two McD's next to each other! Brenda, I'll let you know when it's done!! Maybe we can meet there! LOL! Jan. 23, Fri...My SIL sent us these yummy peppermint bark! It went super fast!

Jan. 22, Thurs...The kids and I took apart a radio. We got it all together. It didn't work because the batteries had corroded in it. But it was great fun. Oh, it was birthday too!

Jan. 9th Why an egg? And is that cookie dough again? Yes, it's cookies. I love to bake. I like to bake when I'm stressed out. Our truck was in the shop and supposed to be fixed yesterday. DH drove it home. But that was it. We have a new clutch, but can't get it into gear!! He had to get it towed again to the shop. Thank God for friends with gas guzzling trucks!! There are some other things on my mind as well. Things I can only pray about! Now get to the egg you say! I made the cookie dough (sugar & spice)...no eggs. The kids went next door for an egg. The girl gave us two! In return we gave her fresh cookies out of the oven! Yum! Jan. 8th I was too busy to post yesterday's. Here's the story on this one. The kids and I had a busy day. DH got off work, came & picked me up so we could get the truck from the mechanics. He then had to go to a wake for a coworker. There wasn't much time for dinner. So we went to KFC.

Love his face? He took one of me too, but I have control of the blog! mwahhh!

Jan. 6th

Ok, I actually have two for you! The whole family seems to want to get into this! The first one was taken by my DH. He served up some Neapolitan ice cream tonight. This is how you would get it served if you went to an Italian restaurant in Boston. You should have seen us last night. We were holding the container and trying to "scoop" out the slices. He actually ended up cutting the carton in half! If you look closely, you'll see the heart in the strawberry section! Here is my attempt at today's photo! I had these big plans of a cool shot of DS on his scooter. Just the feet, the evening sun shining down, etc....here's what I got. Poor kids are tired of me taking their photos!

Jan. 4th

I am trying eat less sugary food and starchy food (I can't turn down choc. chip cookie dough see previous post!), and more fruit & vegies. I was going to eat the oranges right from the can, but figured that wouldn't make for a nice photo! LOL! I don't care for oranges, but mandarin oranges in a can, yum!
