Hail Caesar

Can you guess where I am going???? Of course, sometimes your job requires you to do a little traveling. Well, my job requires me to go to VEGAS this week. I am SO excited because I have never been and you KNOW I will be packing my cameras. Below is where we will be staying.....

The Art of Grilled Cheese

Shout out #2 to Amy for her tip on making grilled cheese sandwiches.

I seriously had never been able to make a grilled cheese sandwich. There was always the smooshing of the bread, to much butter, and then ending up just eatign a plain old whitebread cheese sandwich. GROSS. Didn't you hate that when your Mom put that in your lunch.

Anyway, Amy (the one I went skiing with) and I were talking about what we were going to make for dinner. She said she was going to make grilled cheese for kids. I said, "I can't make grilled cheese to save my life!" Amy replied, "What kind of butter do you use? You should use SPRAY butter."

HELLO MCFLY!!!! This was a total revelation to me!!! I am such a dork. But I made the grilled cheese via spray butter via Amy's suggestion. And WALLAH!!! Here is the final result. I am so proud!!!!


Thanks to Terri

I want to give a shout out to Terri who was the only who prayed for my safety last night... Thanks Terri!!!!

We did end up with a couple of storms but nothing to drastic. Although we did get a little bit of hail....

This was as it was coming down. Yes. I went out on my back porch to take this picture during the storm. See the sacrifices I make so that you all can feel like you are a part of my life!!!!

This was about an hour after the storm.

Again, thanks for the prayers Terri!!!

SUPERCELLS

If you have ever lived in Oklahoma you know what the term "supercell" means "Take Cover"....

This is our forecast this evening:


I live just inside the top left of the yellow circle. This is our first chance of severe weather this year. It's actually about a month early......

Please pray for our safety over the next few months.....

BLAZE..............



No, I am not talking about Oklahoma grassfires even though there have been some huge ones here in the past few days. Thanks in part to a string of 85 degrees plus weather. Yesterday it was 93!!!

The real reason for this post is BLAZE, our new American Quarter Horse.


She is beautiful. Blaze is two years old just like Adam's horse, Pearl. They are having fun being playmates.

Here are a few pictures...

Guess What I Started.....



Well, as you have probably already guessed.....BUNCO! I took it upon myself to start a BUNCO group in my town. It took a little poking and prodding of my friends who had never heard of or played in their life. But they gave in because I can be pretty persuasive I think...

Anyway, last night was our first BUNCO! It was awesome! I nearly lost my voice and people were hiding so they wouldn't lose their crown (travelers-bunco lingo). It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

Again, it was a great time but it made me miss majicmom and all of our great times at BUNCO.

To MajicMom - I dedicated the night to Nita and her love of Bunco!!!!
