Mason Jar Lanterns- Round 2…

In my previous post- “Preparing For An Outdoor Party- Part 2” -  I used salt in my lanterns.  I liked the look but wasn’t crazy about it.  It was too beachy for me.  Well, I searched the internet for a better idea and I found it…  Use bird seed.  I love the look…it’s more earthy to me.  I hope you like it too.

Easter Bubbles…

Easter was a few weeks ago but I just had to post these very cute pics.  My sister-in-law brought some bubbles to our mother-in-law’s house for the younger kids but after a while everyone was joining in.

Hip, Hip Parade!!…

Don’t you love small town parades?  The local high school bands, brightly decorated floats and the pièce de résistance..No not Santa, my son Tré marching with the Air Force JROTC.  This is his first year in ROTC and so far he’s doing great!  His older brother Chase was in it all four years of high school and now Tré is following in his footsteps. Looking good baby!!!

Thanksgiving Eve…

Oh my gosh!!  Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow?  I love Thanksgiving; it’s the cooking and prep work that I don’t particularly enjoy.  Well, let me take that back…I love the cooking but detest the clean-up.  Calgon, take me away!!!

After working all day, I am now busy making a Pumpkin Gooey à la Paula Deen, sweet potato casserole and a honey glazed ham!!  In the immortal words of Rachael Ray, “YUMMO”.

I have to work on Thanksgiving…cue the violins…but hopefully I will be able to scoot out early enough to go home and get my YUMMO dishes and head over to my mother-in-law’s house in time to fill my belly!! Then back home for a few hours of sleep before heading out with my cousin and sister-in-law to grab those Black Friday deals!!  Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!!
