Don't Hate Us!

Tomorrow after church we leave for the ShoreCliff Lodge at Pismo Beach.
We will be lounging around gazing at the ocean until Friday when we get to return to reality.

Have a lovely week. We will!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's a very clear day in Los Angeles! This is the view from Rose Hills - Garden of Rest.
It really is clear, the camera's fuzzy!
We got up early so we could make a very important delivery!
Today is also my Dad's birthday! He got a great B-day present this year....my Mom!
The first Thanksgiving after my dad died, I took him a mincemeat pie. His favorite!
Because this is my Mom's first Thanksgiving away, I made her a pumpkin pie!
Can you guess what the other one is? I doubt you'll get it right!!!!

I made a submission to Cakewrecks!

Eddie and I were at Walmart this morning. We found the most hideous little turkeys in the bakery. They don't look very appetizing...but they do look like something that belongs on cakewrecks. If you look over at the side where my blog lists is...you will see cakewrecks. They update their blog everyday with Cake Wrecks! I already submitted pictures of our Turdkeys! Eddie wants to use them as centerpieces! They actually look cuter in the picture than they do in real life!!!!

Puddles!

Eddie's off at Stake Priesthood Meeting. Trying to survive the fridge dieing on us. Thinking of "da mudder"! I had to go to You Tube and watch her favorite GE commercial...the one with the elephant dancing to Singing in the Rain. Shortly after this commercial started airing, I got her a stuffed pink elephant that she named Puddles! It was very cute!!!

I've tried to attach the you tube video of the commercial, but I dislike the way it attaches all kinds of dumb stuff you don't want! Can someone explain to me how to attach only one You Tube video and not have to get stuff you don't want?!!!

I've wanted to put my favorite Fruit-of-the-loom commercial on for a long time...but same thing! I just want the one with Vince Gil! That song cracks me up. It sounds like something Everclean wrote/sang!

If you want to see either commercial go to You Tube or just Goggle: GE singing in the rain.
You can probably google: fruit of the loom vince gil and see the other one too!

A Cinderella Day

Today Eddie had to work and I didn't. Well... I didn't outside the house. I've washed all the laundry that Eddie hadn't got to. He does the laundry more than I do. I started working on cleaning out "da Mudder's" bedroom. Not an easy chore. I started hearing footsteps upstairs and it freaked me out so I broke out the DVDs!!! We started with the original people Cinderella starring Julie Andrews and then we went to Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella. After that we went to Brandy as Cinderella. Half way through, I had to change rooms, so I started it at the beginning and watched it all, while I worked. Then it was time for The Slipper and the Rose. Eddie finally came home and so we went out and got something to eat for dinner and then it was back home and The Slipper and the Rose is back on and I'm thinking that I may torture Eddie with Ever After when it's over. It won't be torture though....he LOVES Ever After. (He's secretly a chick flick lover! Don't tell him I told!!! I think he likes Never Been Kissed as much as Ever After!!!) Hopefully by then I'll be asleep or we'll have to break out the Cinderella cartoon!!!
I did get a lot accomplished!!!! My back hurts, but that's from trying to clean up the garden which is a complete disaster!!!! Tomorrow I'm sending Eddie to NHRA at Pomona! He got free tickets. I told him to go and I could get more done with him gone!!!! It's a win-win!!!!

Thought for the Day

Those who need.....Receive

Those who receive......Work

Those who work.....Have

Those who have.....Give


I can't remember who said this. I know it was something on the BYU channel and I think it was during the Discussion on the Scriptures, but I don't rememeber what scripture, or if that was even the show. It could have been a Devotional or Education Week or Women's Conference. I just heard and grabbed a piece of paper and wrote it down! So...who ever said it...Thank You!

We are home!

I apologize at not keeping up with the blog. We have some cool pictures to post, but we got a new camera and they are too big. We're trying to get them resized so they will fit better!

We just returned home from a weekend in St. George. Julie got me a ticket to go to "Time Out For Women" so I went. We had a great time. We were supposed to come home on Monday, but we decided to do some shopping and then I knew we were too tired to start for home. We went back to the hotel and asked if we could stay an extra day and they said sure. So, we got a good night sleep (ha) and then took off around 7a.m. for home. We got home and went to work. Worked for 2 hours and now we're off until Friday. Woo Hoo! The project we were working ended on Friday. Not much to do now at work, so now we get to work at home. Eddie used some new stuff on the hard wood floors today. They look really good! We're trying to figure Thanksgiving out. I guess it will be at 2pm! I love cooking Thanksgiving. It will be weird this year without "da mudder" She was always entertained by our turkey antics! Have you seen the new chicken broth commercial with the chicken running down the aisle of the store. Eddie and I laughed so hard when we saw it the first time. It's the simple things!!! Well, when we get our photos resized, we will definately post!!!
