The Beauty

Of having a fireplace besides the obvious reasons, is that

you can roast marshmellows in the comfort of your PJ's.

Cookies!

I love cookies. I enjoy making them and eating them. Nothing makes me happier than to see my family chowing down on the cookies I've made! These are Monster Cookies and Peanut Butter cookies! They are delish!

Thank you

Thank you for my family

Thank you for the food we eat and the nice house we live in

Thank you for the Men and Women who fight to make us safe.

Thank you for the great Country we live in.

Thank you for everything!

Amen!

Veterans Day

Today I had a rare day off in the middle of the week. I didn't feel that great, so I was glad I didn't have to go to work. For the record, it wasn't decided that I would have the day off of work until 5:00pm the day before, so i didn't get much of a chance to plan anything. I was up most of the night not feeling well. I took Nick to school and as we were pulling out of the garage, I noticed a wreck had just happened down the street from us. it must have JUST happened. When i returned home, the police and ambulance was just showing up. I went in and got my camera and out I went to stand in the dizzle and watch and shoot a few pictures. I hope no one was hurt badly. It took them a bit to get the person out of the truck. I won't know any info until the morning when the newspaper comes out. i took a nap this afternoon. it was nice. I made a spagetti dinner for my family, at my Dad's request ( he loves my spagetti) Charlie got home about 1:30 and after our nap, he made a fire in the fire place. It was nice, but I have to admit, I got really HOT ( darn menapause).

Thanks for checking in.

My husband makes the best...

PIZZA! He made it last Sunday and here is what it looked like it before we

ate it all up! It was yummy! He can also makes the best cinnamon rolls from

scratch, but he hasn't done that in a long time. Maybe I can talk him into it!

Thanks for checking in!

Wednesday.

Can you believe, we've got a Tornado watch in November! Thats crazy! Global warming?

Tomorrow, Mom and I are going to Kansas City. Part fun and part scary. I have to have my kidneys checked again for stones. Its been a little over a year since I had my two surgeries. Hopefully if the stones haven't started to grow back, I won't have to have anymore check ups for awhile. They are expensive! Thank Goodness for insurance. Charlie got some scary news yesterday. Cessna is doing some layoffs. All plants EXCEPT Independence. The Indy plant is doing really good. Still selling planes. Whew.. thank goodness for that too!

Today, I am leaving you with the cutest picture of me and my cousin Janet and her then boyfriend Wayne, later to be her husband. Aren't I the CUTEST thing! LOL ( By the way, I am the cute blonde!)

Thanks for checking in!
