We got off to a rocky start with my dad who was walking around complaining, yelling and stressing, but that's just dad. He was fine after I told him to go sit down and visit with everyone and that this was for Jinny not him. So he gave me a dirty look and...Well from the video you can see he had a really good time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am glad that it is over though.

And freeze!<br />
<br />
I made banana, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream for the party, so if you want<b> banana ice cream</b> mash 2 ripe bananas and add along with the other ingredients to the whipped cream.<br />
<br />
I used about a cup of fresh strawberries (mashed), for the<b> strawberry ice cream</b>, but next time I think I will use frozen strawberries.<br />

I can't believe I have 6 followers here :-) I'm not sure what they are following, because I hardly ever post any updates, but I thank each and every one of you and I will try to post a little more regular from now on.<br />
<br />
First the disclaimer. I am NOT a dietician/dietitian Whatever... a nutritionist, a nurse, a doctor, or a heath care provider of any sort.<br />
I am a person with my own personal points of view and a mom of a childhood cancer survivor.<br />
<br />
I have been seeing different blogs, posts, and comments all over the internet this past week about different eating lifestyles and I thought let's talk turkey (No pun intended...Well maybe a little one) since Thanksgiving is just around the corner.<br />
<br />
Oh and thinking of turkeys, Chippendales tweeted my name on twitter the other day, now you are going to ask, What does that have to do with Turkeys? That's what I was thinking.

I was watching Dr. Oz a couple of weeks ago and he was doing a program on butt drop.<br />
Okay I know, terrible subject right? But he was saying to use these underwear with butt pads<br />
to give you more curves and a nicer derriere. My take on this is we pad out butts and our bras,<br />
yes it does help to give your body more definition, but if you are trying to attract a guy,<br />
when you take off your clothes for the first time in front of him, isn't he going to wonder,<br />
"What happened to your body?"<br />
Learn to love your body with all it's flaws first, then if you aren't happy with it's shape and size<br />
do something about it! And by that I mean, if you need to lose weight don't go on one<br />
of those fad diets, just start eating healthier and cut back on portion size.<br />
You don't have to starve yourself or deprive yourself. Fad diets don't work in the long run and<br />
they are not healthy. You didn't get this way overnight, so you can't change it overnight!<br />
As they say, "Rome wasn't built in a day!"<br />
<br />
A little exercise every day goes a long way. Did you know that by building muscle, you speed up your metabolism, which in turn burns more fat? And the added benefits are more energy and better health.<br />
So get moving. You don't have to be a body builder, but using weights can give you more definition, a toned body and burn more fat. A word of caution though...Your body's bone structure is you, If you are short you're going to stay short, if you are tall, yes you'll stay tall, And if you have big feet and a pear shape like I have, well.... So stand up straight and be proud of yourself. You are AWESOME!<br />
<br />
Have a beautiful and healthy day!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Treat every day as a new adventure.</div>khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02039448074178382326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937411168465308758.post-44758250342996797102011-08-24T08:02:00.000-07:002011-08-24T08:02:10.286-07:00My Dad!My Dad is a very intelligent man. Okay enough of that he'll get a fat head! LOL! But a big dingbat at times. A few weeks ago he was taking my stepmom to get her blood drawn for some tests and he drove around for 2 hours and couldn't find the place. So what does he do, drives all the way back home, calls me and tells me to look up the directions on line and email them to him. Okay I can do that. And in the next breath he says, "How do I get my email up? I haven't had any email in 3 days!" So Why am I going to send him an email??? Too funny.<br />

Okay done... Yes it does ring, yes it does work. Tuesday morning Dad calls again, "I don't think this new phone is working and Jinny's phone by her chair just has a humming noise. Well the phone by Jinny's chair won't work because you unplugged the main phone from the phone jack that sends the signal to Jinny's cordless phone, and dad says "I can't hear you, talk to Jinny!" Gotta love my dad! He's just too funny! Well moral to the story...Ah heck I don't have one!

I pay all my bills online, except the water bill. They don't do online billing! So once a month they make me get up off this chair, go get in the car and drop off my bill in their night drop box. :-(( Anyway, I have been putting it off and they came around with the orange notices today and stuck it on the fence. My little dog Duggy went and got it off the fence for me. Well to say the least, yes he did shred it.... A few minutes later he scratched on the door wanting in, so I opened the door for him and he starts walking in, then stopped went back to the bill and picked up just one piece of it and dropped it at my feet. There mom I killed it for you, and he sat there looking up at me Just like a cat would when it brings that dreaded mouse and drops it at your feet and as you're sitting there screaming the mouse scurries off! Well just my luck the bill didn't scurrie off. Darn! But at least he brought me the most important part!

Good morning everyone. I was just sitting here thinking there are only so many hours in a day to accomplish everything we want and need to do. I don't know about you, but I always seem to have a list a mile long. There's always that housework and laundry. There's shopping and yardwork. Not to mention work, fb, family, friends, and trying to squeeze in some exercise and taking care of ourselves. So today I will try and accomplish what I can and tomorrow.....well we will see what today brings! Have a beautiful day everyone.

God was going to call your name.<br />
In life we loved you dearly,<br />
In death, we do the same.<br />
<br />
It broke our hearts to lose you.<br />
You did not go alone.<br />
For part of us went with you,<br />
The day God called you home.<br />
<br />
You left us beautiful memories,<br />
Your love is still our guide.<br />
And although we cannot see you,<br />
You are always at our side.<br />
<br />
Our family chain is broken,<br />
And nothing seems the same,<br />
But as God calls us one by one,<br />
The chain will link again.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Treat every day as a new adventure.</div>khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02039448074178382326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937411168465308758.post-34874673540004081582011-08-10T08:46:00.000-07:002011-08-10T08:46:44.516-07:00Missing all<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬♥▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬<wbr></wbr>▬▬▬▬▬▬♥<br />

Others put them up, just to see who cares enough to knock them down. Sometimes, I'm afraid of what will be on the other side of these walls as I take them apart.<br />
<br />
I have a picket fence and a gate with a lock on it. You can see over it, but must have a key to get inside, which most do. But what lies beyond that are various doors, some open, but most closed. Sometimes I accidently leave a door open and people go through and that scares me. <br />
<br />
There is one door that remains locked at all times. Some have found the key, but only a few have been allowed to stay and will remain there forever.

Have not gotten to take a vacation yet, have been busy at the shop. <br />
Hope to get out and on the road soon, so I can add some new pics on here!<br />
Hope you have a great day!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Treat every day as a new adventure.</div>khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02039448074178382326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937411168465308758.post-54886210115407466322010-01-17T19:55:00.000-08:002010-01-17T19:55:18.298-08:00Let's buy AmericanMy sister emailed me this and it's well worth taking a little extra time to look.....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while<br />
<br />
one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very<br />
<br />
much, a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the<br />
<br />
following, obviously written by a good American ..<br />
<br />
Good idea .. . . one light bulb at a time . . . .<br />
<br />
Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowes the<br />
<br />
other day for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at<br />
<br />
the hose<br />
<br />
attachments. They were all made in China . The next day I was<br />
<br />
in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the<br />
<br />
hose attachments there. They were made in USA . Start looking ..<br />
<br />
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do<br />
<br />
affects someone else - even their job . So, after reading this email,<br />
<br />
I <br />
<br />
think this lady is on the right track . Let's get behind her!<br />
<br />
My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it<br />
<br />
is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more.<br />
<br />
My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico ... now I have<br />
<br />
switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs<br />
<br />
and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right<br />
<br />
next to the GE brand I normally buy, was an off-brand labeled,<br />
<br />
"Everyday Value . " I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the<br />
<br />
stats - they were the same except for the price..<br />
<br />
The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but<br />
<br />
the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made<br />
<br />
in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for<br />
<br />
this - the USA in a company in Cleveland, Ohio.<br />
<br />
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day<br />
<br />
that are made right here ..<br />
<br />
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets . .. . yep, you<br />
<br />
guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The<br />
<br />
Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did<br />
<br />
laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce<br />
<br />
Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!<br />
<br />
My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop<br />
<br />
for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA<br />
<br />
- <br />
<br />
the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!<br />
<br />
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your<br />
<br />
address book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at<br />
<br />
a time! Stop <br />
<br />
buying from overseas companies! (We should have awakened a decade<br />
<br />
ago .. . .. . . . )<br />
<br />
Let's get with the program . . . .. help our fellow Americans<br />
<br />
keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U. S. A..<br />
<br />
I Passed this on ........ will you?? Nothing can change<br />
<br />
what makes you special.<br />
<br />

Bailout the banks, the auto industry, the credit card companies, and now Larry Flint wanting $5 billion to bail out the porn industry? Give me a break, the government needs to put the money where it will do the most good, and that is to bail out the people. Do you think people want to lose their homes? Have their cars repossessed? Have collection agencies calling night and day? No. By giving $50,000 to single taxpayers, and $100,000 to married ones, our economy would recover. The people would pay their bills and the financial institutions would get their money. This in turn would stimulate our economy. People would be able to buy clothes and shoes for their children. They'd be able to fill their gas tanks and even enjoy a dinner and movie out. The government's $300 stimulus checks aren't enough. All they do is get a weeks worth of groceries and hopefully keep the electric on for another month.<br />What happened to "By the People, For the People?" Our government, big businesses, and lobbyists wouldn't be where they are, if not for the people.<br />Stand up and let your voices be heard. Write to your senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, and even our new president. We need to say "Enough is Enough"<div class="blogger-post-footer">Treat every day as a new adventure.</div>khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02039448074178382326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937411168465308758.post-30337395509012448692009-01-13T19:11:00.000-08:002009-01-13T19:14:12.364-08:00AmandaOn December 10, I told you about Amanda being diagnosed with leukemia, I'm sorry to say, that Amanda lost her battle and passed away January 8th.
