More fun than should be allowed!

Oh my goodness, yesterday we started off running and didn't stop until quite late! We got to the park at 9:00 a.m. in Tomorrowland and spent the morning in Disneyland. We did so many things I don't know if I can list them all. Space Mountain, Star Tours, The Buzz Lightyear ride, The Matterhorn, and more. Then we had lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. Nice to sit for an hour. Then we went to California Adventureland where Mike, Chris, Emily and I rode THE TOWER OF TERROR. We got on because Chris survived it yesterday, so we thought it would be super easy. WRONG. Holy cow! I didn't think I was going to be able to walk off the ride I was shaking so hard! :0) It was fun. We rode the Micky Mouse Ferris Wheel in a swinging gondola, which we renamed the Mickey Mouse Wheel of Terror! :0) We did the Toy Story ride. We did the tortilla factory tour and the sourdough bread tour, I can't even remember what all we did.

The lines are long. There are millions of people, ok thousands of people. Thankfully today is a day of rest. We got home last night around 10 p.m. We did eat dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Yummy. It provided us with today's lunch because they serve soooo much food there.

Of note: The Ohio State and Oregon State Rose Bowl contenders were all over the park and they got to just walk on to any ride they wanted! No lines for the football celebs! Lucky them!

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!
