S&A

Since it has been a while since a Sara and Andrew post....check it out: New stuff today :)

Poor Me

For the last few days my eyes have really, really hurt. Not like pain in the eyes, but more like eye strain to see. I haven't been able to transition from seeing close to far to computer, etc. They water and water. Last night it was such a relief to finally go to bed......I was even getting dizzy. This morning, everything was blurry. It was no fun. I called the eye Dr....thinking that I was going blind or something. I have a 'raging' bacterial infection in my eyes, so will be on erythromician cream for the next 14 days. He said, "Only put it in before you go to bed, because it will make it so you can't see at all."
I was so relieved that that was all it was.......but I can't wait until tonight to close my eyes again (not that I have had them open much today!")
I had so much to do today, but it didn't and isn't going to get done.

Mer-here's the recipe you wanted

Sara's "Mancatchers"
1 T yeast
2 T sugar
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 c warm water3-4 c flour
1/2 c butter--melted
parmesan, garlic, or other seasoning for top (cinnamon/sugar.....or plain!)
Mix yest, sugar, salt and water and let sit 10 min. Add minimal amount of flour and mix just until dough doesn't stick to your fingers. Heat oven to 375. Spread dough in greased 9 by 13 pan. Pour melted butter on top, cut into breadsticks, and top with whatever. Let rise 10 min. Bake for 20 min or so until golden. Heavenly!! (Great with garlic and parmesan, or Mrs. Dash's) Great plain......You only need to start these less than 1 hour before dinner to have fresh bread with dinner, which is nice!

No Picture

I wanted to take a picture, but I didn't want Brennan to think he was 'cute' (which he is), or that what he did was funny.....which it was.....so I didn't grab my camera. However, look on Annie's blog with the Vaseline. Subract the bedroom and the Vaseline. Add my kitchen, Crisco, a funnel, and 250 straws.........You get the picture!!
Just as we discovered Brennan......Cade walks out of my bathroom holding the container of Vaseline!!! Luckily he just wanted some on his lips and nose cause he has a cold, and he was asking permission!!

A get well wish to Summer

Summer, here is a fun picture of a happy day we had in the Redwood Forest.

Hopefully, it will bring a smile to your face and you will get well quickly!!

(For those of you that don't know, she has Scarlet Fever)

GET WELL QUICK, WE ALL LOVE YOU!!

This is what I did today

I don't know if you can even tell what these are.....but they are little patchwork pillows....with a yellow arrow on them for my primary class. This is why I want 6 kids in my class not 13. The tag says follow the light by reading your scriptures, saying your prayers and following Jesus. It was a nice thing to do with little scraps of left over fabric....most left over from bear, dog and cat quilts!! Took longer than I thought. I only made 12....rarely do all 13 come....so, of course, tomorrow, they will all be there..................:)

I'm a loser.........

Ok, I felt bad losing the last game by 85 points. I lost this one by 133!!! I shoulda quit while I was ahead.......

Ewwww.........

Well, so far our mouse traps haven't worked, but dad said, "That is OK, because you ran over and squished a mouse this morning on your way to work."

Scrabble

Well....Dad and I play Scrabble continuesly......one of us will start a game, and then we take turns as we walk by. We usually finish the game by bedtime. Dad almost always wins, of course, which he as done for the last 33 years......but this game I lost by 85 points!! Ahhhh........I think in our whole married life I have won maybe 10 Scrabble games out of about 800 or more played....why do I still like it so much??? :)

Sunday at our house

It's a great time to catch a few Z's.........

I must need a new job........

I must be insane.....do you know how long it takes to crochet a Care Bear?
