Burn-Burn

You would think I would have learned my lesson with the boiling water (Feb. 2007). This isn't the same but you know what happens when you lift the lid off of a steamer? Burns just as bad. I told David I needed a sling for my thumb. He just laughed. Another burn blister on the top of my left thumb. Oh well, life goes on.

Monz

In case you are wondering what or who is Monz. She is my grandmother, if she were still alive she would be 107 on July 4. She has been on my mind yesterday & today. I made me a new Recipe Box and transferred all of my recipes over & came upon some of hers. Most of them on paper written in pencil, some on bank deposit slips. She was a wonderful cook, but very few of her recipes had directions, just ingredients. Hers always came out great. She was my only living grandmother, (my mom's mother died when she was very young) I can almost taste her Tea Cakes just thinking about them now. She was a home maker and was home all day, so my brother and I stayed every day with her. I remember popcorn cooked on the stove in a kettle, I can feel the cold crisp sheets and how heavy the quilts were on me when I spent the night there. She had a quilting loom that hung from the ceiling over the bed I slept in. It was on a pulley system, so she could raise it out of the way.

All of my memories of her are wonderful, and I hope one day my grandchildren can remember me with the happy thoughts I have of her.

BUNCO

It is hard to believe that 12 women can have as much fun as our Bunco group does. We become like little children laughing all the time. When someone yells BUNCO! the red fuzzy dice will fly across the room. We have been know to cause distraction when our opponent is on a roll. All of us have been stabbed by fingernails, and havens to Betsey DON'T TAKE THE PEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE THE TABLE. It is a time we can let our hair down and forget about the crying kids, what is going on at work, our the laundry that needs to be done. We are women having a good time with our friends.

Becky called me today and gave me a web site to play Bunco on line. http://bunco.kewlbox.com/

I haven't tried it as of yet. Then I saw a commercial on Lifetime today that on Friday @ 10:00 pm our time the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BUNCO TOURNAMENT in Las Vegas will be on. Can't get any better than that.

These are some pics from one of our playing times. See how happy we all are.

Northern Grandchildren

Ryan and Shannon are gaining weight and doing fine. I think they are keeping their mom hopping. She tries to sleep when they do, but then Noah needs tending to. Noah played in his first Ball game Saturday. All of my children said they would only have two kids. Then Audra had twins and now she has three. Tee-Hee-Hee. I do have to say that Audra & Becky are getting what they deserve. Cameron checks Justin's diaper to see if he pooped. Justin held his hand up to his mother and said talk to the hand. They both have their hands full. Of course Bobby has Angie to keep him and the kids in line. The Island they live on is so small I don't think Braden and Kyndal can get into much. You got to love um.
