Cooking up more yummy things to take to the New Year's Eve party!


This is a red velvet cake ball that I dipped in blue chocolate.

Added blue sugar sprinkles.

Cheese Ball from my sweet mother's recipes.
 Recipe for Nina's Cheese Ball
1 pkg. 8 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup green olives
1/4 cup ripe olives
1/4 up green onions
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Mix well. (I use my hands.)
Wrap in plastic and chill for a few hrs.
Wallllllllaaaaaahhhhhh!

Eat with crackers or anything else. I think my kids would just eat it with a spoon.

You're A Dough Dough Head

My daughter  and I saw Martha Stewart do this Santa Head on her show, so we decided to bake our own.

We made up some bread dough. Then started  creating our "master pieces."  We actually did this in no time flat. It really was fun.

But after we baked them............something happened to my poor daughter's head!


They taste just like a good ole loaf of bread which always goes good with butter and jelly.




I think Katie's Santa was just saying "Bite Me." So we ate hers first.

LOOKIE, LOOKIE, WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!

I love cruising around thrift stores. Well guess what? I found this, and I'm not lying, it was only $1.49!!!!!! It is bigger than my largest mixing bowl, not one chip, scratch on it. Talk about a find!

So I brought home my new "find" and stuffed it with scented pines cones, and some Christmas decorations. Tah Dah! Don't you just love it. (Not so much my decor of it, but all the possibilities this holds.)

It's Just Too Cute!


I so can relate to this pic. Short receding red hair, chubby checks, chubby thighs, and don't even get me started on my need for LOTS of milk due to my old aging bones! But hey, if I can be this cute,  and have all the same things, Life is Good.

An exhilarating off-road quad bike expedition over one of New Zealand’s most rugged coastal environments.

 Best Excursion Ever   This truly was a highlight of our many adventures in traveling the world. We had the opportunity to go on a six hour ...
