Do You Remember The Quizes?

Here is the answer to the last quiz I posted more than a month ago.  I apologize for such a delay.  We had some holidays take over my life.  I updated and now I will be back on task, I hope.

I figured mom would get this answer easily.  She has a remote just like this one.  It is pretty close anyhow.

Look for the quizzes on  Mondays and the answers on Sundays.

All Caught Up Or Information Overload

I have been keeping a list of things I needed to post about, and the location of pictures to go with said posts for a long time now. Today I finished posting them. Now I can get back to a regular routine of posting. That means on Monday the Quiz is back!!!!

Today we got a Christmas 2006 card in the mail, from Kansas. I love you! This brought back fond memories. Thank you for the card.

Porcelain Bucket, My Friend

The crazy Schedule of the holidays has caught up with me and now I am sick*.  I haven’t felt this bad since May of 2001**.  Next Christmas I am definitely starting in August, and getting my beauty rest each night.  Anyway I have been working on back posting for a while now, I hope to get it all done tomorrow, if I am feeling better.

*It may also bee little noses that were snotty on me.  I have been around so many kids, it would be hard to say which ones got me.

**This is not a random date, I may Expound on it in the future.

Dishwashers Are Our Friends

Today I went to the store to get groceries and I needed more deodorant.  While I was in the deodorant aisle, a family passed though.  The little girl, probably about 4 years old** said, “Daddy I need new deodorant!”  he said she has some already, and she answered, “Yes, but it is dry.”  I am not too sure what thy are teaching her, but I want to put on dry deodorant.  I figured that was part of the purpose.  Besides why does a 4-6 year old need deodorant?

I Love My Pajamas

We stayed in our PJs all day.  When I did go outside I just pulled overalls on over my pajamas and put on my jacket!  Hooray for sleep day.  But I got sick this evening, I think the crazy holiday schedule has caught up with me.  Tomorrow I plan to sleep too.

2008, Gotta Remember The Date

Mother nature decided to usher in the new year with bad snow, yet again.  It took us almost two hours to get from Macomb to Danville.  When we finally got there we celebrated Geneva and Gretchyn turning one!  They have come such a long way.

After the girls ate cake** and opened presents, we were finally able to end Christmas by giving our last presents to Rob, Katilyn, and Lydia.  Because of weather they arrived after everyone else had left.

Lydia was so excited to hold Gretchyn and look at the “little” person!

Do you think these noses are related?

Party All Night Till The Sun Comes Up

The year is finally at its end!  We celebrated by going to our friends’ party where we played vintage games like Atari.  And newer games like guitar hero.  We played with cards too.  We popped poppers.  Jacob mad crab tarts, and I made white chocolate mousse with strawberry tarts.  They were delicious.  I can’t believe I didn’t get any pictures from this event**.

**Even more surprising, no pictures of the tarts.

If All Else Fails Read The Instruction Manual

Our friend Keri came over and reminded me why I don’t like the financial aid office or registering for classes at the university.  No one explains things to you.  If you don’t have a friend or family member who has gone through it you don’t know what you are supposed to do, or what the terminology means**.  It is enough to make a person want to give up.  Thankfully we were able to help, and she will not be giving up on school.

**Because if they wont tell you the process, they sure as heck aren’t going to define their obscure terms for you either.

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Karen was hired to take wedding photos for a young couple. I went as her assistant. The day started out cold but no wind**. By the time the wedding was over the wind was blowing hard***. We got some pretty good shots. I hope they are pleased with the results. I saw six brides today, and I understand that there were more before we got there.

The snow was crazy again today. It is days like this that make me wonder why Al Gore invented global warming, and why doesn’t it seem to work? It was anything but warm today.

Three of today’s brides.

**So it was relatively nice.

***That was not so nice.
