THANKSGIVING 2008

ERIC CAME TO SEE US! ALWAYS A HIGHLIGHT TO MY LIFE!!!! He cut his hair!


RICK, SADIE AND ERIC SPENDING TIME TOGETHER

PUMPKIN CAKE I GOT THE RECIPE FROM ROBIN....THIS WAS SOOOOO GOOD!

I MADE THIS ONE....ERIC SAID IT "CRACKED" HIM UP.....

ERIC'S BLUEBERRY PIE....WAS A HIT! NEXT HOLIDAY WE HAVE ORDERS TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE OF THESE....

MY FAMOUS BANANA PUDDING....YUM!

We had a great time getting together with Eric, He came home Wednesday afternoon and we spent the evening cooking for Thanksgiving dinner.

We went to the Johnson's house for dinner. This is my little sister Christi's family. She passed away at age 35 but her hubby remarried and they have yours mine and ours. My sisters and his two children. Her son and then they had a sweet angel together. I love them all the same and am Aunt Barbie to all of them.

Friday Eric and I went Christmas shopping....got a little more done....But got a lot of ideas and prices. I cannot believe I went shopping on Black Friday....We had fun though. We ate out at Chilli's and had a great day of just shopping and talking.

Eric left late last night.

I am just chillin today.

I woke up this morning to the sound of someone washing dishes.....it was Rick

I think he is buttering up Santa.....

I almost took his temperature.

You see this is probably only the fourth time in our marriage where he did this...

I didn't even have to ask!

I love little surprises like this!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.....now ....on Dasher and Dancer to Christmas...

Oh My!

One Day At A Time

Thanks Girls!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas! Thanks girls!

Eric is coming home tomorrow!

I want to look all Christmasy here....how the heck do all of you make your pages so colorful? What's the secret code...
Went shopping today to try and get started with the shopping for Christmas.




Bought Sadie one of those Pedipaw thingys where you grind off the nail....she is still hiding under the bed. Hates it! They say eventually they get use to it.....apparently they have not met Sadie Marie.

I love to give presents for Christmas I hate shopping for them.

No offense to Rick, but I especially hate shopping for them with Rick...he thinks you should just know what you want to get....go in the store and get it and go home.

My problem is some of the people I buy for every year the only time I see them is at Christmas and I don't really know them very well....sad but true.

Oh well at least I got a start.

As far as my list goes for myself.....still in the dark....I thought I wanted a Wii system....went to look at them today and OMG.....first you have to buy the system....over 300 dollars and then you have to purchase games for it....usually around 50 bucks.....\

Just buy me some computer games they only cost 20 or less.

I love to sing anyway and I always have my singsnap.com which cost me nothing.

As far as Rick is concerned...when that man wants something he just goes and gets it.
I was going to buy him a few things this year....he has already gotten most of them because he was with me when I bought them....

He told me when he was little they only got one present each. And sometimes if it was a toy he had to share it with his brother.

He said when he first met me he freaked out when we went to celebrate Christmas at my parents because the tree was overflowing with presents.

So that is why this year I want to give him lots of presents to open.

We have been married for over 27 years now and he just this year told me that.

Wow.

Ok thanks for stopping by. I do love comments so please share your wisdom with me!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?

TELL ME....

Rick keeps asking I don't know.....what do you want?

Consider the "WORD VERIFICATION" word at the bottom of your comment window. Create a definition for it, and use it in a sentence.

My word was sonfrale....

which means when your son is frail. I believe when raised properly they are another word independant.....way to go Eric!

What's your word? Give me a definition :) Have fun....no cheating by looking up the actual word....smarty pants....are these really words? I wonder.

DEER VS CAR

As previously stated...Eric hit a deer with his car. Eric loved this car. His first that he picked out and financed. He hit a deer coming home from work at 1:30 in the morning. He said it wasn't that bad and could be fixed.....Insurance said it was totaled...I agree with the insurance company....so now here we go again.....Eric needs a car and of course I did not have rental car added to my insurance...It was full coverage though so they are going to pay off Erics car payment and if there is anything left he can use it for a down payment on another car.
All this does not compare to me the fact that my Eric is ok. Not a scratch on him....
Deer Vs Car......Deer won
Deer VS Eric.....Eric won
Life is a dance....ya know?

Can you see the imprint of the deer? It was a huige buck

The windshield.....ERic said in was cracked.....u, yeah

Up and over.

Two other cars hit the deer after Eric.
