Last Day of Fun!

First, on Sunday, we went to visit my cousin Daryn. He recently acquired a quilt that our Great Grandmother, grandmothers and great aunts had embroidered and quilted and I wanted to see it. Now I know from whence my talent comes! Then we went to breakfast. It was fun to see him. Then we went to church. A good sacrament meeting at the Anaheim 4th ward. Then we went to the Disneyland Christmas Parade and saw the taking down the flag ceremony and a few bands play before the parade! Then we watched a couple of movies in the room.

On Monday we knew it would be our last day in the park so we planned accordingly. We made a list of must do's and rides to repeat, and then started bright and early at 9 a.m. Let me see if I can remember everything. Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Jedi Training Academy, Space Mountain, shopping, eating, Sleeping Beauty Castle, what else? Oh, in California Adventure we did Soaring over California, California Screaming, The Brother Bear Adventure thing which was a playground and it gave the grown ups a chance to rest while Chris played, Mullholland Drive, The Zephyr. Emily picked up her survival t-shirt from the Tower of Terror! And of course, we shopped.

We got back to the hotel around 9:30 p.m. and I am quite sure that everyone had a really fabulous time. I did pick up a rather cute Alice in Wonderland purse.

All in all it has been a very fun vacation. The kind of vacation where you have to go home and rest! Next adventure: Family photo on December 30!

Catching Up 2013

I have done a few things around the house lately and thought I'd show them here.  First, for my birthday, I got a 1950s credenza from a yard sale for $15.00!  Yay!  I also got a "fainting couch" from an Estate Sale in great condition and perfect for my sewing room.  So, I added both to the sewing room , which took a lot of rearranging, and badabing, badaboom, a fabulous new look: The view from the door, to the left. Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceiling going down the stairs.  Chris sa

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
