Better Picture

Here is a bit better picture of Laura and Geoff..

Kids Do Make A Mom Proud

Laura and Lucas both graduated with their Bachelors Degrees and are now ready to start there Masters. I am very proud of them both! Lucas chose to not attend his graduation.. but Laura did go to hers. Jason went to be with her and share in her proud moment.

Have to say Bill and I have the absolute best children in the entire word~not that I am prejudiced, they are just so, well, so "special"!

This definitely is not the best of pictures though... Geoff sent it via cell phone, so I will change it when I get the others!

Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket

I was able to get the Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket from Lion Brand done in a relatively short time! It was knit with Homespun 215 Tudor. Would have liked to use a lighter color, but this was about the best I could find. Since I am going to need to finish several baby items in a short time, it's okay though! This will be a nice fall/winter blanket!!

How I Feel Today

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass... it's about learning how to dance in the rain. -Unknown

I Thought This Was Cute!

Simple solutions for some of life’s little problems…….

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to
hold them while you chop.

Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the
sink.

For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few
minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives; then you'll be
afraid to cough.

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move
and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Daily Thought:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES; NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A
SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS

Quote For A "Visitor"

Oh, lady dear, hast though no fear?
Why and what art thou dreaming here?

-Edgar Allan Poe

Crock Pot Chocolate Nut Candy

2 lbs. nuts (your choice)
4 oz. bar Bakers German Sweet Chocolate
11 oz. milk chocolate bits

Place nuts in crock-pot. Break Bakers chocolate into pieces; lay over
nuts. Spread chocolate bits over Bakers chocolate. Break almond bark
into pieces and spread over chocolate bits. Set crock-pot to low and
cover. Do not stir or open lid for 2 hours. After 2 hours, stir mixture
until nuts are covered with chocolate. Spoon out bite sized amounts onto
waxed paper to cool. Number of candies depends on size of clusters.
