Stable Influence

My sister, Judy, posted this on her Facebook wall.  I really like it and decided to add it to my blog.  I feel that so many forget the true reason for this season.

Busy time of year

It's been a very busy time of year...as it is with most folks.  I've been reading two books to review and have finished reading one but have yet to write the review.  The other book that I haven't finished reading is actually the first one I started.  It is taking me longer to get through it...not a bad sign...it is a book that is making me think and read very carefully. 

With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming between my reading and writing and sewing and cleaning...too many ands isn't it...I have a messy house with a pile of books to dive into. 

I do hope everyone that reads this had a blessed and peaceful Christmas.  Mine was good.  The children had a wonderful time and we were actually able to open all our gifts before we headed to church.  Admittedly we were about ten minutes late for church but we did arrive.  Phew! 

I'm working on getting my house clean and tonight plan on finishing the review on book number two and reading more of book number one.

These mixing bowls bring back memories

I saw these mixing bowls while working on Internet for a course I'm taking.  I saw them and they brought back memories of my mom's speckled mixing bowl.  Her mixing bowl was more of a brown/gray speckle but how we used that bowl.  A big bowl of ice cream jello for dessert after supper or mixing a batch of cole slaw for a picnic.  These memories are good ones of me and my mom in the kitchen.
I found the bowls on Amazon.com so I put them in my wish list.  I share the list with my family for ideas for gifts...hint, hint!
Here's the link to the amazon.com page:  http://www.amazon.com/Zak-Designs-Confetti-Assorted-Brights/dp/B0019M7IT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321749306&sr=8-1

Supper in the dust bin!

I'm in my room calming down from being mad at myself.  Supper tonight was turkey breast, twice baked potatoes and steamed broccoli.  I baked the potatoes, halved them, scooped out the "meat", mixed in cream cheese, some milk, a little bit of butter, bacon, grated cheddar cheese, salt and pepper.  Mixed it all together and stuffed the potato skins and put them back in the oven.  Not hard work but time consuming.

Anyhow, I'm dishing up the meal and the tray of potatoes fell off the counter into the dust bin filled with garbage from me sweeping the floors earlier.  All the potatoes went splat and there was no way to save them.  I actually did save two, that I caught midair, so we had to split two halves of potatoes between six people.  I was so upset that I couldn't even eat.  At least they could split them between five instead of six.  What a waste of time and money.

Why did I put the baking pan where I did?  I don't know but I'll never do that again!
