Bread


Yesterday I asked Grandma for some sourdough starter. She willingly gave me some and this is what I made. I am so proud of myself, I have only made bread a few times and I can't recall how it turned out on the other attempts. I am hoping to bake bread and not buy it anymore, it's just getting so expensive. Anything to save a couple bucks here and there.

Dad's antlers


These are my Dad's antlers that were in his living room that his grandfathers gun layed across for the years that my parents lived at their current house. Carl got a mounting kit and put them up for me. They are in my front entryway. They look quite majestic there.

We have what it takes to take what you have

So last week I went to Wal-Mart after the kids had gone to bed and as I was on my way home Carl called me on my cell phone to have me drive past a house where we are looking for a car. This car has eluded Carl for several days, bad address and all that. So what do you know there is the car. Carl told me to pull down the street and watch the car till he and Dan can get there with the repo truck. We all gathered around the corner deciding what we should do to repo this car. The car was nose in the driveway and it would cause quite a racket dragging it away. So it was decided that Carl and I would walk past the car and check to see if the door was unlocked, if it was, Carl could put the car in gear and it would drag quiet. As we are walking by, the guy comes outside, so we cross the street as to be a little less noticeable. The guy starts his car and we think he is going to leave, but he doesn't he left his car running and went back into the house. Carl ran across the street, got into the car and drove away, leaving me standing there in shock. I started walking away then this guy comes outside and starts yelling, so I begin to run, let me tell you I was running so fast and I was wearing crocs, I am so suprised they stayed on. Dan followed Carl down the hill so as to hook up, as Carl is driving he hears panting, there in the backseat is the guys dog. Well they had to return the dog, so they had Dans wife bring the regular truck to them and they returned to the scene to return the dog. It was very exciting!!!
