On Dixie's blog she wanted to know what we all liked to do for Deep Play. Well, one of the things I said I liked to do was go camping. And... that got me thinking. I want to plan a long camping trip to Reservoir Lake for this summer. I am thinking of renting a trailer from OK Trailers in Shelley for a week. (They have the best rental prices around) Take a look at this picture, YES this is relaxing!! So, family members; if you can picture yourself in this boat, check your calendars and see when would be a good time for you. You could come up for any amount of time you want, the Hot Dog, oh I mean Grandpa & I will be there. What do you think??
Well, last night I think was a first! Tom and Dave were in the family room watching a guy movie. Dixie, Gina and I were in my home office and I was feeding sweet little Emery a bottle. She didn't act very hungry and after only an ounce she stopped eating and gave a little burp. Then I put her up on my shoulder, (close to my colar bone - for the visual effect) she didn't make a sound, just proceeded to up-chuck down my neck. It went straight down the front of my shirt and puddled in my bra between my tah-tahs! I was so shocked I just stood there, while the girls were laughing. Then I swear that my sweet little granddaughter smiled! I guess it was just a matter of time before one of my grandkids gave me a complete "Willow" (family joke) But I don't mind. I love my grandkids! And... it really wasn't gross at all, right....
I had some left over taco seasoned hamburger and I made a delicious soup. Check it out, it was so easy.

Ten years ago... My dad had just recently passed away on Aug. 29, 1997 and I missed him a lot. I was driving a mint green mini van. (Remember the fun trip we took to California in it) I didn't have any son-in-laws or a daughter in law because none of my children were married yet. Most important; I didn't have the little joys in my life, my grankids. I was working at Bonneville High School as the Registrar, and probably hating the stress - I was about 50 pounds lighter than I am now - Dave still had some hair on his head (not counting the ones in his ears and nose) - and ah, I had a better memory then than I do now!
Things on my To Do List (I will do Monday, cause Sunday is almost over)
1) Work , work and work. 2) Walk on my treadmill, ride exercise bike. 3) Shower 4) Watch my recorded soap opera 5) Clean the house 6) Come up with something to make for dinner with chicken breasts 7) Try to come up with a Birthday present for Tricia (hey any ideas??)
If I were suddenly a billionaire... I would pay off all of our bills (after tithing and taxes, of course) then pay off all of my kids bills, buy a new house, have a personal trainer, housekeeper and chef, and a masseuse named Sven, be financially prepared for retirement, travel to places I have always wanted to go, buy a plane so I could fly to see Kelly, Tricia, Livie and the little man child any time I wanted to. Then help the needy. (Boy, I sound selfish, but that is what I would do. I agree with Dixie, why do we torture ourselves with this question?)
What's under my bed... 6 drawers on Dave's side of the bed and 6 on my side, all full of clothes. And also there is a little space right in the middle, it has some old keepsakes in there. Hey, I haven't pulled them out in a long, long time.
5 Bad habits ... Bite my nails, pick my elbow, eat too much, exercise too little, make lists of things I want to get done then I can't remember where I put the list.
5 Things about me that no one knows ... not much hidden, I am a pretty open book, what you see is what you get.
5 Places I have lived... Heaven, Shelley, Osgood, Caldwell, Meridian, Idaho Falls (ahah that's 6)
My favorite foods to snack on... chips and salsa, carrotts and celery with dip, popcorn, carmel corn, Heath candy bars, potato chips and Fritos, apples and bananas dipped in that cream cheese and marshmellow dip, homemade icecream, Wingers wings (oh that probably should be a meal, not a snack) peanuts, and everything else that tastes good but is probably not good for me, I love that too.
I have finished the Twilight Series books. Yahh!! and I have to admit I really enjoyed them, even with the silly High School stuff. I am hooked and I can't wait for the 4th book to come out. Yes, these books did capture me and held me hostage until I could finish them. Dave said I should have read them slowly and savored them, but you just have to know what happens next you can't put them down.
This is a picture of our newest little Granddaughter, Emery Lee McGary, on her blessing day. She is 2 months old and is such a sweetheart. I love to kiss her chubby little cheeks.
Ok folks I guess I am a follower. Gina has me hooked on this series. I started reading Twilight and could not put it down. I felt a little foolish because I had given her a hard time cause she had her nose in a book for weeks. I finished it today and I hurried to call Gina to say "Hurry, give me the next Book!" I just got home from her house with the next book in the series; New Moon. I am making myself do some "other things" before I can start reading again.
