Where are the clean clothes?

When things go missing............
                 and you live with youngins.............
                                        you NEVER know what you'll find...................



Oh.....Alexander has been helping with the laundry again!!

It's Game On!

Hello World!

How have you all been doing? It's been crazy here and I tend to zone out when that happens....hiding in my bedroom. Drawing and watching British tv series and movies.....love them.

 And....while I'm in hiding the family is in full swing....Sunday the football season began...RATS! But my honey now has others to watch the games with Him. DD and her hubby...plus the 4 and 2 year olds chanting the whole time...."GO RAIDERS!!!!........yes...the are hopelessly lost to us....Hubby is a 49'rs fan....and so the game is on....who will win more games this season....Raiders or 49'rs

And....due to a bet the dueling duo made LAST season......Hubby lost...Raiders did better than the 49'rs soooooo.........Hubby had to wear a Raiders shirt....ALL DAY.....when the new season started. Well... that was this last Sunday and Hubby humbly wore the shirt to church...he wasn't happy...but he honored the bet


...(see....he really isn't a betting man...now I know why)...
Let's see how the rivals do THIS year!

Look at the Great Font

Hello World...

I wanted to show you all the wonderfull font I found in the new fall Lands' End catalog.

I think this is a fabulous font because of the flow of letters and also the tall letters are slightly exaggerated. Any know what this font might be? The search is on....

Back to Work....

It's been FOUND!!...YIPPEE.......I had posted on Two Peas In A Bucket forum a request for help in finding this font and wooooohoooooo it's been found. Cost a little bit because it's a commercial font, but it will be worth it. Here is the link if anyone want's to know. Font in Lands' End Fall Catalog and fyi this is the first link i've done...hummmmm wasn't so hard afterall!!

Have a GREAT day everyone!!!

September 1...W00-HOO

Hello World!!................Two Big Events for Today.

1.....Its been 38 years for my honey and me...where does the time go??? We met in our first (on only) year of college and majored in each other. ...here's a pic of Honey. It's been an adventure with ups and downs, any sooo many blessing along the way. I'm so glad he's my hubby and God willing we will have many more years together.


2......FALL begins today for me and a few other nuts (my friend Katherine and my youngest daughter Catherine)....this is OUR first day of fall...............summer is soooo over rated.......yuck....but fall....yummmmm, the colors, the feel of the air on your skin, the smells of the fall season.......and I live in California and I'll take what I can get of fall in the area, but I can't BEGIN to imagine what living on the northern EAST Coast would be like where it is a it is a feast to the eyes..............(...hummmmm, some day)
So....to start the season off right I had to may my favorite fall receipe "Great Aunt Myrtle's Pumpkin Bread"....which came from my friend Katherine........yummy.........want the receipe?
                          sure I'll share........I think Aunt Myrtle would get a kick out of it!!
                                       AUNT MYRTLES' PUMPKING BREAD
          3 CUPS SUGAR
          1 CUP COOKING OIL
         4 EGGS
         2 CUPS PUMPKIN (FROM A CAN)
         2/3 CUP WATER
         2 TSP. SODA
         1/2 TSP. SALT
         1 TSP. CINNAMON
         1 TSP NUTMEG
         3 1/2 CUPS FLOUR  
Cream sugar, oil and eggs at low speed, add pumpkin, water, dry ingredients and nuts in given order. Place in 4 greased and floured 1 pound coffee cans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Can you guess that this is an old receipe? I have used all different sizes of loaf pans and even a bundlt pan for this receipe. It makes a lot of batter...so have fun...............enjoy the yummy bread.

NOTE......cooking time REALLY varies due to size of pans....just play with it...it always comes out good!

Heres to hoping you enjoy the season.................
