Something New

I hope the photo of my beautiful Ruby makes you smile as it did me. My Katie took it and we thought it was perfect for the new look. I've been thinking about changing my blogger backround for some time now and Kate was feeling well enough to help me. She is so amazing to me. It took me almost an hour to pick it out and it took her about one minute to set it all up. I have no idea what HTML language is. I'm just glad that she does. Hope you like it!

Confirmaton Day


O.K. here we go again. My second attempt to blog about Kates Confirmation. I was to frustrated with the first attempt this morning because I couldn't get the photos how I wanted them. So I scraped the whole thing. So here goes. It was a beautiful day. I know that Kate was very nervous but it didn't show right away. She was very excited before the service. I was very nervous for her. She had a lot to remember. The first photo was before the confimation. There were three confirmands and Kate went second. The first girl was very quiet spoken but did very well. When it was Kates turn I noticed that she wasn't as resonant as she was at rehursal! She only forgot a couple of things and pastor helped her out along the way. He's very good at that. Anyway I couldn't take the pictures during the service because I was crying to much. I had to give my camera to my husband who admitted that he didn't know what he was doing. So some of the pictures are a little dark! I know I couldn't have gotten up there like she did in front of the whole congregation,we were feeling very proud! Baby Jack didn't seem very excited about the whole thing. I think he found it all quiet boring! I think we were all glad that he fell asleep in the beginning of the service. He woke up at the very end. Our grandaughter Sarah was exceptionally good through the whole service as well. I was so proud of them both. Kate and the other two confirmands were first to go up for communion. Kate said she didn't like the wine! After the service was done they all lined up at the back of the church with pastor. As the congregation all passed by shaking hands and congratulating them, you could see the pride in thier faces! Afterwards my family and a couple of our members came back to the house and we had lunch and cake. What a beautiful day it was. I can't wait for Good Friday when Kate came actually take communion with me.

Who Is This Woman?


I don't know what happened. It was a morning like any other. Drank some coffee. Ate a small but substantial breakfast. Then I took off in my trusty station wagon to go and work out. I lost two inches, hurray for me! I needed a few things from the grocery store so I pulled in the parking lot. I made it through the store only spending $15.00, hurray for me!
I had a good workout this morning so I am feeling pretty good on the way home. Home,where my Kate is sick with the flu.Poor baby. Mom will make chicken soup. No I am not Jewish. I had some leftover chicken stock in the freezer and had baked a chicken the night before so it would be a quick and easy soup. As all of the ingredients were simmering nicely in the pot I started to feel strange. I found myself gravitating towards the pantry. What is happening? Everything is already in the soup! I couldn't control my hands as they swiftly pulled at the pantry doors. What is this strange place? There on the right is a rectangular plastic container with a soft , powdery,white substance in it. And another next to it, with some kind of white granular substance in it. My hands, can't stop, can't stop, moving upward, make it stop! Before you could say "Where's the vanilla?", I had all of these strange containers and utensils on my kitchen counter. It must have been the scent of the over ripened bananas. All I can remember after that was two loafs of pineapple banana bread on my counter! I don't really know how they got there. It's all to confusing. I'm not feeling to well, I think I will have to have a piece of this mystery bread. After all I did lose two inches!

Tomorrows The Big Day!


Well tomorrow is Kates' confirmation and I am sooo excited! The fact that I managed to get everything done that I wanted is exciting in it's own right. The cake took a lot of patience and praying. But I am happy that it turned out as I envisioned it. Of coarse it isn't professional but I am quite pleased with the outcome. The important thing is that Kate liked it.
I am so proud of Kate and can't wait to see her being confirmed.
I think that I will finally be able to post a picture of her!

Funky Curtains


As you can see I finished the FUNKY CURTAINS! They went upstairs in my apartment. My daughter-in-law Amy bought the fabric for me. She is so intuitive! Anyway it's one more project done before confirmation Sunday. Tonight I will be playing the part of beautician and housekeeper. Tomorrow I will once again
become a baker. Oh how I love to cook and bake! Sorry about not being able to prepare any of those gourmet meals Marcy,but as you can see I'm just to booked up right now!
