Well, I'm back again!  It seems like every six-eight weeks I manage to get on here and blog.  I love to write, so I don't know why I can't leave a few lines for you all to read everyday. 

Since it is now Autumn, I needed to change my theme.  I love this theme!  It is just so warm and fuzzy and cozy-looking!  To go with that lovely pic, here is a recipe from my friend and Mary Kay consultant, Connie:

Wassail

4 cups orange juice

1 cup lemon juice

1 gallon apple cider (or 100% apple juice)

2 cups sugar

3 tsp. allspice

1 tsp. ground cloves

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

2 sticks of cinnamon

--Mix all ingredients together and let simmer. (I just throw it all in a crockpot and let heat for several hours.)  The longer you let it simmer, the stronger it will be.  Enjoy!

I plan on making this in a little while, only I am going to half the recipe.  Mmmmm!  The house is going to smell wonderful.  While this yummy drink is simmering, I will be attempting to get some housework done.  Have a great day everyone!!

Well, they are a month late, but here they are.  I discovered (due to the joys of dial-up) that I will have to load thumbnails.  So, I hope you are able to see everyone.  The first should be my newest nephew, the second my sis's fam, the third my H.S. class reunion, and finally, my friend at her wedding.  On my nephew's pic (which was taken by my niece!), I added a little saying (my little Humphrey Bogart! <3)

Hope you enjoyed a review of most of my summer!

I really need to get back to my blogging!  Happy belated Easter, everyone!  He is risen!  He is risen indeed!  Alleluia!  Praise God for the gift He has given us!

So, what has been going on with my readers?  Do I even have many readers?   Let me know how your Easter went and what is new with you.

Not much going on here.  I planted my garden Saturday.  Oh my goodness!  I am soooo out of shape!  Sunday morning was a rude awakening for me.  I could feel pain in muscles that I didn't know I had! :)  Oh, well.  It was definitely worth it.  Now, I hope and pray that everything lives and I get some reward for my work.

Work is work, but the way things sound I better be very grateful that we are still working.  Looks like OT may be a thing of the past, so I better become a better money manager.  Speaking of managing money, does anyone have any good suggestions for doing so?  Like books, articles, personal experience, etc?  I would appreciate any and all advice.  It is a good thing that hubby is very good at it!  However, I want to be able to handle my finances like him.  I definitely need to control the impulse spending!  I get so hung up on buying "stuff"!  How much "stuff" does one really NEED anyway?!

Well, best go for now.  I need to make our dinner.  We third shifters eat at weird hours!   Ha!
