Figuring Things Out

I've spent the past school year as a student at MSUB.  It has been a lot of fun and I really enjoy being a student.  Now that I'm on Summer break, I'm beginning to wonder how I had time to be a student.


Ann is graduating from high school on Monday, May 28.  That'll be three down, one to go.  I'm glad Chris is so far behind.  I'm not quite ready to be an empty nester.  


Also, new since the last post from eons ago, Mike retired from the Public Health Service and is working here in town (no more commute) with a surgical practice.  Making the adjustment to being on call has been a challenge, but having him in town and somewhat available is a BIG plus.  I can even walk the two blocks from campus to meet him for lunch!


My parents are coming for Ann's graduation.  We always love having them visit.


I hope this post posts!

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!
