All Washed Up...

All washed up...

It was anything but intentional-however I washed my cell phone in the washing machine. Oh yeah! Really!

As you can see the Otter Box did a great job with the impact protection end-however I didn't get the one that was also water resistant.

As Handsome Man says, "A luxury once enjoyed - soon becomes a necessity."
So the next day...I shopped for a new phone.

Ummmmm Hmmmmmm,

Snow Smiles

Snow Smiles.

You have to smile when you see a snowman~

Maybe it's thinking about your childhood memories...

if there was enough snow for a snowman it

meant a snow day from school.

The team work involved with friends in rolling, stacking, and dressing

the newest neighborhood friend.

What ever the reason...

they are happy, jolly additions to any home.

You just can't be in a bad mood around one!

All these happy guys were hand embroidered by Jana Davidson.

She was our guest speaker for Quilt Guild.

I purchased a few patterns~

I'm planning on adding a happy snowman as a future project.

Smiling in January,

MFSD

Good Read

Book Club Time...

A good Christmas read,

a good message,

a happy ending...

yeah...it was predictable~

but I enjoyed the simplicity of the story line.

The setting was similar to our small town community

and all the wonderful people who live there.

~I really like happy endings.

And sometimes you just need an easy read.

And there are the goodies!

Service to others~the best gift,

MFSD

Sew Time

This is it!  My final block for the Pizza Challenge!  Yay!
In a few days I will get my box and finally see all the blocks my quilt friends have done for me.  It's been 12 months and a lot of fun!

I have continued to use the Pinwheel pattern.

I love the colors this friend has chosen.

Can't wait to give it to her!

(Just a little sad it's coming to an end.)

But...I'm going to have a small quilt almost complete.

Trying to "patiently" wait...

Good Eats

I've been toying with eggs...

Part of my "healthy" eating begins with two eggs for breakfast.

Fried eggs (with olive oil) are a favorite,

but I've tried to branch out and this was one option.

Gently scrambled with spinach and tomato.

It was pretty good.

(Love my china...only the best!)

No...

it's not rabbit food.

Just a simple salad with tomato and celery;

and I've discovered a yummy salad dressing!

(Top with a hard boiled egg or chicken.)

Ummmmm hmmmmmm...

Keeping on track.

Yum

On Wednesday (last week), I posted two pics

and mentioned something about~

Get Healthy.

Handsome Man and myself are participating in a 24 Day Challenge.

Challenge for me is an understatement.

I am not a fan of:  veggies, fruit (with the exception of pears),

cooking dinner, exercising...basically anything healthy.

I am a fan of:  desserts, chocolate, cheeseburgers, cheese pizza...

(I do like pizza with an EVO base rather than the red sauce.)

((That doesn't count for much!))

So...

And because of the above I am's~I need to make a life style change.

And because Handsome Man agrees ~ he's taking the challenge with me as a team effort.

(I reallllllly, reallllllllllly love this guy!)

Those muffins from last Wednesday were a fiber muffin with chopped apples and pears.  And believe it or not~Yum.

Off to a good start and wishing you a healthy week!

Recycle

Just an idea...

Wanted to share this with all you ranchers out there...

When the trailer tires give out~

reuse.

(Handsome Man~this one's for you and the grandkids.)

Fun.

MFSD

Oh Boy!

It's Blue!
And yes it's true!

The parents were honored with

cupcakes & sparkling white grape juice...

(We weren't ever honored with cupcakes~just a holiday napkin.)
(Times have changed.)

Yep, he's a Prince!

Nana & Papa are so proud!

And, of course, I gave him a book!

Ummmmm hmmmmm,

MFSD

P.S.

Happy Birthday, Dad.  I love you & miss you.

Get Healthy

Rural America

What a wonderful tribute!

You didn't even have to know this certain someone...

to drive by and see that they were a truly a respected American.

Here are a few things, I'd like you to know.

He was a Christian, Family Man, Veteran, Cowboy,

Auctioneer, Community Promoter,

and an all around good guy.

I love that I live in a community where it's okay to love your God, Family, and Country; and... not be afraid to show it.

Loving Rural America,

MFSD

January 1, 2013

This is the way to start a New Year!

Happy New Year, 2013!

It was just a dusting...

they predicted a 6 to 8 inches for Christmas Day...

Not.

I'm not sure...

but I'm pretty sure that they didn't predict this.

But no matter how little...

Even a dusting makes me happy!

Here's hoping your new year has started off happy & healthy!
