Thanksgiving and Christmas All In One

This sign always makes me laugh

every time we drive by it.

It's a sign

that's in our town.

It always makes me think of

Thanksgiving and Christmas

all in one hit.

But tonight, as Thanksgiving is coming

to a close,

this sign makes me

think of "Caution" and

"Slow down"

before Christmas skips over Thanksgiving.

Fall Wreath

I've had this wreath for a long time.

Each year I bring it out to hang on the front door

and each year I don't.

It has this ugly green plastic

you would see every time from the side

when opening the door.

So I grabbed some ribbon.

I turned the wreath over

and wrapped the ribbon around the

wreath to hide the gross green plastic.

It turned out pretty good,

if I say so myself.

Love it on the front door and

no more green plastic from the side.

But now I can't close the screen door

because the wreath is too thick.

Bummer!

Looks like this wreath is getting

packed up again.

Pumpkin Pie Please And Hold The Crust!

I love pumpkin pie.

So I made a pumpkin pie,

but I had extra filling left

that would not fit in the pie crust

without overflowing.

So I put the extra pie filling

in some ramekins

and baked them in a hot water bath.



They came out great.

Just like pumpkin pie without

the soggy yucky bottom crust.

Top it with some whip cream

and you have a prefect breakfast...

No, I mean dessert, you have the perfect dessert.

I can neither confirm,

or deny if that picture was taken

in the morning,

but that could explain the dark lighting.

My Late Halloween Post

Yes, I know Halloween is over,

and it's been over for a while.

This year I tried really hard to talk the kids

into skipping Halloween.

I promised to get them their

favorite candy and we would

watch a movie and pretend that

we were not home.

Somehow three days before Halloween

they turned against me.

So....

We got some candy and got out the fog machine...

And the kids had fun handy out the candy.

The day before Middlest did

"Trick or Treat for Education"

with her friends

to earn money for her Washington trip.

They were the Three Blind Mice.

Bonus blast from the past...

Fall picture of Oldest and Middlest

An even older picture of Oldest and Middlest,

before Youngest was even born.

Look close and you will see that Middlest

is playing with scissors I left on the steps.

Hey, at least she is not running with them.

The Breads Are Back!!!!!

Wednesday nights

the Breads are back!

Willie is back.

Si is back.

Jase is back.

Phil is back.

So put on your camo....

grab your Tupperware glass of tea....

and turn the TV to AE.

Of course, if you are

looking for a Halloween costume

there is always this.....

Store Cards And What To Do

What do you do with all the store reward cards?

I have seen helpful tip articles about this.

I have seen blogs post about this.

I have seen it on Pinterest.

I have been doing this for a long time

but it seems just lately people have been taking notice of this.

I have been getting a lot of comments on this.

They all say "What a great idea!"

These are not charge cards, these are the reward cards stores offer

for discounts and they would not fit in my wallet anymore.

. 

So I took a paper punch and put a hole in the upper

right hand of the card.  Careful not to punch a hole in the scan bar on the back.

Then I put them on a key ring in alphabetic order.

I keep it in the side pocket of my purse

for easy access.
