Time Warp

"So," I asked her on a recent visit.

"Now that your mission is over and you are back home, what do you do with your time?"

She smiled.

"I'm working feverishly on my family history," she said.

And then she added, "My own living family is so messed up, that I'm trying to straighten out the dead."

She laughed.

"It's lots easier."

It's so fun to wait for certain things:

a trip,
Christmas morning,
a bonus check,
a new baby,
family coming to visit, 

OR......drum roll please.....

an announcement from Apple about a new IPAD!

tee hee.

Baking Day

Oh, we all love baking day;

the house smells so good;

and the bread tastes oh, so D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.!

Whole-wheat even.

We give away some, and keep some.

It's a good day on baking day.

Being Old Bites!

"I don't want her to visit me...she's old,"  MH said to the RS president.

"I'll let the sisters come to visit if they are young and have young kids like me."

That hurts....

Did I feel that way as a young mother?

Well, to ease the pain, I'll go have a bowl of chili's at Wendy's where I can get a 10 per cent Senior discount on a Wednesday.

The Knock at the Door

11:30 Saturday morning...

There is a knock at the front door.

Standing there are two adorable Cub Scouts:  Logan and Cameron

They are selling...

I am buying...who could resist those two adorable freckle-faced Scouts?

Not MOI, that's for sure.

Cocky or Self-Confident....

...it's so difficult to distinguish.

Self-confidence is a very admirable trait.

Cockiness (BIG EGO) - not so great.

So, how do you distinguish between those two?

Because you definitely want the one, but not the other.

Hey, GOOGLE, You Messed Up On This One!

Eli and Miles Hackworth celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday...BTW, did you know about his name...Seuss is his mother's maiden name, and he added Dr. when he disappointed his father by not going into medicine....
which we are all glad about.

I love going to Google's Home Page on special days; they have the most fun, engaging, unique ways of spelling out Google.

But,

THEY MISSED TODAY'S IMPORTANT DATE!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, we - and Google - should totally give credit to the man who singlehandedly helped get rid of Dick and Jane.

And, who invented the word...
NERD.
so......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. SEUSS!

Let's all go out and eat some green eggs and ham!
