I have been trying to cover one of my sisters Benches for months. These are great benches that we got free from a very posh hotel in downtown Salt Lake. These benches sat at the end of the beds in the suites.
At the time my sister's daughter worked there (my niece). So we each got several of the benches. Today was going to be the day for sure. First she had to do a few errands. Ok so I got the stuff together that we were going to need. My sweet hubby wanted to work on cleaning the furnace so I told him to go ahead that my sister was going to do errands so it might be a while. She is a little unpredictable in that department. So he went up into the attic to work on the furnace. Next project he had the stove all apart cleaning it. It looks like new. Tried to call her no answer. Finally we connect. I am on my way. The phone rings. Our oldest son stressed about something so I talked to him for a while. Called her to tell her I was on the way. My hubby not feeling well now, sneezing, coughing stuffed up head. Great he has a cold, that he got from my brother-in-law. now it is time for dinner and hubby needs to lay down. So I fix dinner, I call my sister and say I'll be over. It's 6:pm. " No, No its to late." she said. It's 6 pm. I m tired I'm going to bed. It's true she goes to bed early because she gets up at 0: crack thirty. Really! she never sleeps past 2 or 3 am. Then she is on the go again. "Lets do it tomorrow" she said. OK I hope we can. What time ? Well I have to go to the Dentist at 9:30 and then stop at the .......................................... I didn't want to anyway. Some day I hope to get it done, and when I do I'll post a picture. As for tomorrow I think I will cover my bench I got free from a very posh................ You know the rest.

Apples, Apples Every Where
Today my sweet hubby and my brother in law went to pick apples from a woman he works with. I wanted to go but I tore a ligament in my foot and it hurts like a you know what. I have to be non weight baring. Oh joy!
So I stayed at my sisters house with her. I love my sister she is so good to me. I sat in the recliner with my foot up, we had a little tea party Yummy Hummas and crackers and some really good Herb Tea. Watching design shows, reading magazines, talking and laughing. Then a nap. A great Sunday afternoon.
Finally after 3 hours the gentelman returned. With about 200# of beautiful Red crisp apples. Now we have our work cut out for us. We are the preserving type of people we can every fall.
This is going yo be a lot of work what on earth are we going to do? Well I guess I'll find out what my hubby has in mind. More tomorrow

Halloween with Greyson or Running with a Dinosaur
Halloween is not my favorite holiday. Then I really don't have a favorite holiday. As a matter of fact, I don't like holidays at all. That's another post all together.
Since our grandchildren live in Texas we don't get to see them at this time of year. My niece and her husband live here and their little two and a half year old. And since my sister and brother in law had a prior commitment [Gi-Gi and Pa-Pa], I decided to stand in.
When the rain stopped, ( I think my niece was praying it wouldn't), and she was able to catch Greyson she wrestled him down and put on his costume. A very cute bright blue fuzzy Triceratops. The hood was loose and slid forward over his eyes, his mom kept pulling it back and then he tried to hold his head back to keep it from going over his eyes again every time this was repeated he would hold his head up and say "I see Cwowds". He was running and skipping and us, trying to hold on to him was a challenge. I was laughing so hard I was having a hard time staying dry and it wasn't raining. My niece was kicking herself for not bring the child leash, the restraint of choice for his sweet little very active boy.
By the time he hit the second house, he had it down pat. Tumbling up and down the stairs to each $350,00. 00 homes, knocking on the door and saying, "Trick or Treat", and "thank you", still not having full use of his sight. Then when I thought I could not laugh any more and the stopping, twisting my legs together to keep from springing a leak was becoming a real test of lower ab strength, I started to have my own sight issues from his hysterical antics. He began to figure out he was funny. But then his tiny hand would slip into mine and he would say, "Come on Susie, almost there".
The highlight of his collecting sugar fill treats was when someone gave him a lunch size bag of Lay's Potato Chips. He was totally in awe with the bag of chips.
This was truly the best Halloween I have had in years.
I was going to post pictures, but they were all a blue blur. I would rather keep photos in my guarded file protected in my mind. So someday when I am old and sitting in chair at the nursing home, I can play it over and over all for my self. Maybe next year when he is older. I guess that DEPENDS.

Kids Say the Darnedest Things
Kid's say the darnedest things. My Grand Children Have so many little wheels in their little heads going all the time. Not only are they smart, they are funny. Darn funny. We can't help but laugh with them. Or at them. Any way they are a hoot.
While visiting this summer we attended church. They go to the same church where they live. The boys went to Primary. They know what to expect because it is the same here as it is in there home town, They had no trouble going in and sitting down with there age group class.
The Children were practicing for there presentation in Sacrament meeting, So the youngest boy (4) wanted to participate even though they would not be here for the program. Of course the teachers let him. So he goes up to the front and speaks the part they gave him. The teacher started to lead him away back to his seat. He was not ready to go. He decided to show off. He grabbed the microphone and yelled "HELP ME JESUS HELP ME"
Of course all of the other children laughed and so did the teachers. That was it! the class was out of control. After Primary they brought him to us and related the EVENT.
My son and my daughter in law were beside themselves apologizing all over and to every adult present. Finally the President of the Primary came over to them and put her hand on their shoulders. She said" Please Don't Worry It was boring in here any way". We all laughed. Kids say the darnedest things. Don't they???
A few weeks later they were at home and were at church the same 4 year old was listening intently to the story.
When the story was done and the songs were sung the final prayer was said and everyone was ready to get out of their seats...... He stood up on a chair raised his hands and said "Guy's Guy's Jesus Is The Messiah Jesus Is The Messiah Is'ent That Great ?????? Out of the mouths of babes. He just might make a great missionary.

At The End Of The Rainbow
"Some where over the rainbow". Well I have never seen any thing "Over the Rainbow" I have however seen the End of a Rainbow. For real!!.
We lived in North Dakota For 9 cold years. We had many great experiences there. Experiences that we would not have had, had we not lived there. The Rainbow Experience as I like to refer to it was one of the best I think?
It was late spring and it had been raining most of the week. Out on our little 10 acre hobby farm it was quite dismal. About the time my husband came home from work the clouds began to break. I went to the door to meet him and over his shoulder I saw a rainbow it was beautiful it had at least 6 colors. Then another appeared it was bigger the colors were broader more vibrant. They stayed, we kept watching them and the colors only got brighter. My husband was not standing beside me any longer he was gone to the barn. He had saddled up the horses and called to me " Come on we are going to see the end of the Rainbow. He brought my horse over to the front porch. (That's were I usually mounted her). Off we went about a mile into the Field across the road.
There it was the end. I stopped my mare and stared. It really was the end of the Rainbow. I walked my horse into the colored vapors that slowly enveloped us. It was like a dream. It was the finest droplets of water and they had color. My husband was just as memorize as I was. We just sat on our mounts and took it all in, for what felt like hours. The horses were perfectly still. There ears back listening, their eyes were like gold coins and their manes sparkled. As the beauty around us began to disburse we slowly became aware of our surroundings. The horses dipped their heads to the grass below. I walked my steed over to the end of the Rainbow, the magic had all but disappeared. Just a glimmer of color remained on the field under the hooves of my horse. THERE WAS NO POT OF GOLD TO BE FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All that was left was a wonderful memory or was it a dream? we will never forget.
I guess it could have been a Barbie movie...........you think?

Son Of A Nutcracker
First of all the Zucchini Bread was fabulous!!!!!!!
I know that what I am about to right to write could be thought of as a Pitty Party for myself. It also could be so much worse. I know there are people in peril all over the world,natural disasters,starvation,war and war and governments that are corrupt and misleading there people,or killing them or breaking promise's. The list can go on. Truly I pray for all of this on a daily basis.
Now we get to my teeny tiny dot on no map part of the universe.
Every day is a new shall we say for the sake of language "Adventure". So here we go.
Sat: My sister calls" meet me at the furniture store they have a sale to beat all sales" so we go. There are mobs of people, Its like a Circus, if you stop to look at something someone runs into you or steps on your heals. Daughter: " Walk faster these people are up my --- " SON OF A NUT CRACKER that hurt..... Sister goes home empty furnitured. We go home to get the truck???? How does that work?. It was such a good deal, really it was and It's leather too. Now we have to get hubby/daddy out of bed because he is working 12 hr shifts at the hospital and they are nights. Daughter goes to the bedroom window " Daddy wake up we have a surprise for you". Daddy, Daddy HEY WAKE UP. Poor guy he stumbles to the window " It better not be another animal" he say's (This is another story) Any way, Daughter: It smells really good. You'll like it. He comes to look at it and realizes he has to carry them in or I should say The two of them in. "SON OF A NUT CRACKER". Daughter:" I'll take you out to dinner daddy" he goes back in to get dressed. "Son of a nut cracker"
Fri: Spent the day with my sister, got nothing I needed to accomplish done (she was happy she did) I went home fed hubby nasty store bought fried chicken because I was gone all day riding around in a ScionXB that has the worst shocks on it in the world and a huge payment (glad it isen't ours) its nick name is JAMAL. I think it was a little later than a mid life crisis. He is off to work. Sister calls again she is upset: " brother tried to kill himself (Again! he lives in another state 2,000 miles away).Lets go out to Olive Garden just the girls what do you say?" " Well, she came home from work sick Son OF A Nut Cracker Sister:did she throw up"? " Yes but I think it's the antibiotics" "Are you sure"? "Well I think so" Sister:" Ok lets go". My sister goes to the bar while we are waiting for a table and comes back with a soft drink for myself and daughter and a glass of wine for herself. We don't drink never have seriously. I don't get why people drink and it's against what we believe in. ( We live in Utah).
A few carbs and 4.5 glasses of wine later she is a hoot and needs help walking to the car. Call the brother-in- law " You better meet us at the drive way and help her in. SON OF A NUT CRACKER!
Daughter comes home from work sick. Stripping her cloths off as she walks through the house brushes her teeth throws herself on the bed. "What is wrong?" Daughter: " I threw up" " You threw up?" " Yes mom I threw up" "Well are you sick?" "I threw up, I have chills I'm swetie, I threw up!!" " Well did you throw up in your class room in front of the kids" NO MOM I MADE IT TO THE BATHROOM". Why am I asking these questions? She is an adult if she say's she threw up she did. All though our family has a problem with throwing up we try to avoid it at all costs. We just don't care for it, sort of like a Phobia. I guess it would be called something like BARFAPHOBIA or GASTROIRRUPTIONAFOBIA,something along those lines. Oh wait I have it Barfaphobiapukemania. Thats how bad it is. All of us my kids, my sisters their kids our kids kids. Its Bad thats why we need all the details. WHEW!! I am so glad I figured that out it's a break threw. YES!! Daughter: I think its the Antibiotics making me sick. SON OF A NUT CRACKER!! nothing to worry about.
Thur: Hubby and I are finishing canning Salsa. Kitchen is a mess the floor is sticky yuk!. Daughter is in bed with her leg up. She stayed home from work. And my Rock has to start a new 12 hr shift tonight so its all up to me. I have to feed him frozen pizza because the its just to messy to do any thing else. He's gone. Daughter: I cant stand this I have to get out Lets go to B&N" "But look at the kitchen" Daughter: "We'll clean it up when we get home".I do love to go to B&N so "OK"
SO $ 40.56 later and that was just magazines, we are home. I can't face the kitchen. Daughter: I'm going to try to go to work tomorrow I'm going to bed". AHH Yah! I'm up till 3AM cleaning the kitchen. " Son of a NUTCRACKER!!!
Wed: We are Canning Salsa every thing is from our garden and a friends garden it smells wonderful in the house. Hmm.. does Sentcey Have a Cilantro Bar? I love the smell. have to hurry Hubby has to go to work for 4 hours. He has to grab dinner at the hospital He comes home at midnight and cans 14.5 quarts if Salas and makes an Apple Cake that is to die for. I'm in bed. He is not good at cleaning the kitchen. But he Cans. I guess this was rather uneventful day.
Tue: Hubby's last day off this week. We are trying to get some things done before he has to work again. Daughter comes home from work after a day at the State Fair with the 5/6 graders (Who are Deaf). " Look at my leg its hot and twice the size" I look at her leg "Son of a Nutcracker what happened"?. her leg is swollen all the way up to her knee, not twice the size it is so swollen that it is red hot tight and has little blisters all over the calf. Greattttttttt! her dad looks at it. " I think it is Cellulitus But we'll have to go to the ER to have it treated and documented. I can't see any bites but this is serious. The Wonder Pets go through my head.
Ok lets go. Now we have to drive down to Salt Lake to the U of U because that's were my husband works and there is no other hospital worthy. No Dinner grab a nasty Mcdouble and a diet on the way down. Yeah!
We walk into the ER the place is full I mean full. But they take her right in and someone else looks at the now Tree Trunk hanging from her body. Its confirmed Cellulitius Get meds go home. Gee its only 8:30 pm how did we manage that?. Now what do we do? My hubby just looks at me and smiles. Are you kidding me? How about a movie? Son Of A Nut C R A C K E R!. OK. He has a Booboo kitty face.
Mon: Hubby is off its a beautiful day. We do a few errands, he mows the lawn. I am trying to finish the Valance I am making for a friend. I am also finishing a bookcase that we painted so I can get it back to her.
Forget the Valance I am taking back the bookcase tonight and I'll finish the sewing later. So we load it up in the truck. Daughter: "I have to help her with her computer anyway" Great this is not going to be just a drop and go." Son of a Nut Cracker". They have a lovely back yard. So we sit on the patio. Her grandchildren are there they are so adorable makes me really miss ours. It is getting dusky and the mosquitos are on the prowl.
We go inside for a few minutes and then leave. After we get home Daughter: I am all bit up I don't useually get bit" They must have been Rouge Mosiqueto's because they love me and I didn't have a bite anywhere.
And that's where it all started....... Son Of A Nut Cracker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zucchini Any One ?
Our Family Loooves ZUCCHINI ! really. We cook it with everything. We even just eat it boiled with salt on it.
We freeze it For the winter to have in soups too. Its sort of like Forest Gump and his Shrimp. We got fried zucchini, boiled zucchini, stuffed zucchini, lasagna zucchini, chicken& zucchini, steak&zucchini, zucchini alfrado, zucchini pickles, zucchini relish, zucchini meat loaf, zucchini& ramon, zucchini salsa, zucchini ravioli and the list goes on and on. There is a lot you can do with it. You just need some imagination. Of course if you have a lot of it you have to be sure to keep your car doors locked at church or you will end up with donations of the secret kind.
One thing that we have never done is baked with it. So today we are doing the traditional bread and right now it is in the oven and it smells really good. I hope its not a waste of precious zucchini. I will have to let you know.
Tonight I am making Corn Tostadas with cheese, tomatoes,bell peppers, and zucchini on it they are yummy.Just put it all on top of the tostada and Top with cheese and a little garlic salt place in the pan you can use veg spray if you want don't put a lid in the if you want the corn tostada to be crispy.
I was at B&N and saw a book titled The Zucchini Houdini, if any one is intrested.
Untill next time.

Of course if you have a lot of it you have to be sure to keep your car doors locked at church or you will end up with donations of the secret kind.
One thing that we have never done is baked with it. So today we are doing the traditional bread and right now it is in the oven and it smells really good. I hope its not a waste of precious zucchini. I will have to let you know.
Tonight I am making Corn Tostadas with cheese, tomatoes,bell peppers, and zucchini on it they are yummy.Just put it all on top of the tostada and Top with cheese and a little garlic salt place in the pan you can use veg spray if you want don't put a lid in the if you want the corn tostada to be crispy.
I was at B&N and saw a book titled The Zucchini Houdini, if any one is intrested.
Untill next time.
