What's for dinner?

K so as many of you may recall, I am not a serious collector of "kitchen gadget's" it only took me 2 week's to find the perfect "glorified popcorn popper" (microwave thingy) which I do on occasion remember can do things other than pop corn!
Well, awhile back one of my sisters bought me the handiest "pot" it had a lid with bunches and bunches of holes in it, and it locked into place on the pot so you could drain your pasta's and such with out spilling. I loved that darn thing, but when you need to conserve space "luxuries" are the first to go! Little did I know how lazy I had become, how my skills had been weakening.
Tonight, I thought stroug-an-off (sorry, but spell checker is just not guessing right!) sounded good for dinner.
I cooked the meat that I found on "quick sale" sauteed the onions and mushrooms, added the mushroom soup and sour cream, and then came to noodle disaster! I cooked them just right, placed the strainer in the sink and swoosh, NOT ONE NOODLE landed in the strainer! What's worse the strainer was positioned just right to act as a plug for the sink so the boiling water just sat there being hot and in the way of the noodle rescue.
So..... What's for dinner?

Life.

I accepted the fact long ago that I could plan all I wanted, but what would benefit me most was flexibility and a decent attitude!
I was diluted thinking that my children would grow up, hate there parents like most teenagers do and leave. Now 28 year's in to my marriage with the youngest of my offspring 2o years old I have come to learn that I can still plan what ever I want and life will rearrange my plans for me, and yes the kids will move out, but they also move back in.
The most confusing part, they all seem to like us? Weird, I really should have paid closer attention when we dropped them on their heads!

Brotherly Love

I love it!
Tyler is just two months older than Cindy was when I was born. I watch him and it makes me smile, it is so much easier to picture how Cindy became so protective of me. I, just as Jordan am so loved.
Thank You Heavenly Father for my family... ALL of it! (she really isn't as purple as the picture makes her look.)

Content.

What more is there to live for than new babies!
Were all hooked, from Tyler to Grandpa, she's perfect and we couldn't be happier.
Just being a girl was not enough, we have a red head!

Go DAD!

After having lived in California and working in San Francisco for 9 years, it was not until after Dad turned 87 that he "jogged" across the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time!
GO DADDY!
Me, I only walked half way across, that was enough.
We had a wonderful "long way home" trip through the old stomping grounds.

Lazy Art

Have you ever considered what your missing out on by being a "clean freak"?
I know the answer.
Lazy art!
This is totally for real! If only I had known what I was going to find under the doily I was picking up to dust under, I would have lifted it up more carefully! You can actually see the "drag" marks from my picking it up carelessly!
C'mon women, take a stand, justify laziness like the rest of us! Express yourself "artistically" quit with the dusting, and find the beauty that lurks behind!
P.S. My educated guess is that this is about 3 years of dust. Nice hu... admit it!

I think I have a love / hate relationship with rain.

For the past few weeks I am hard pressed to think of "A day without rain" (Great song, Enya)
I don't know if it is because I know how badly my area needs the moisture, or if it is such a fun childhood memory! Anyone who knows me "well" knows I love the puddles, with my feet or tires, puddles are for splashing! Tyler has learned this to, and I love to watch him jumping followed with the squill "I did it"!
However, we have had enough rain that I am thinking the poor kids in this area are saying "hurray it's summer?" Oh well... the dreaded heat is on it's way, supposed to be in the ninety's by Monday... Ugggg.
