This Is Why I've Been Away So Long!

Signs of Summer!

It has rained and rained and rained and then rained some more, and things are blooming every where and I know that soon we will have sunshine and heat!

I want to share some of the beautiful things happening in our yard!

Serve with a salad and garlic bread for a nice, not to complicated Sunday dinner!

Mix spaghetti sauce with water, after arranging seam side down pour sauce over roll ups.

Cover with foil and bake.

Next spread mixture onto noodles and roll up.

After the water came to a rolling boil , I let the noodles boil about 10 min. then drained.

Meanwhile after heating oil-onion and broccoli remove from heat and stir in the egg-ricotta and parmesan.

Broccoli Lasagna Roll Ups!

This is a recipe my Mother taught me to make I dont know where it originated from , she shared this with me when my kids were young and still at home ,it is something the whole family loved!

I have had it on my mind lately and decided to make it for Sunday dinner!

It is easy to make and only took about an hour to prepare.

I Hope The Easter Bunny Has A Warm Coat!

Just when I thought spring was in the air we are going to have record low's tonight!
The weather man is talking about a record low of 25 degrees and I'm dreaming of sunshine and little one's in their Easter outfit's and eggs scattered about the green grass sitting outside and watching the children scurry about to get the next colored egg and wondering what's inside, then sitting in the grass dumping all the eggs out to see what they got! I'll never forget my Grandson a couple of years ago opening his eggs so excited and shouting green beens (jelly beans)!
This past weekend my youngest Daughter the Grandgirls and the Granddogs spent the day with me and we tie dyed t-shirts , my dear friend and co-worker Candy gave me a tie dye kit for my birthday we had so much fun!
I will be busy getting ready for two Easter celebrations the rest of the week.
So for now , Happy Easter Everybunny!

Off To See The Wizard

After being involved in an accident Friday on my way home from work, it was raining and I guess the roads were slick a young man lost control and crashed into me , I have been dealing with the insurance company and have decided I would be better off to go see the wizard and ask for a new car after all he gave people hearts and brains how hard could it be to get a car?

But instead I am going to show you the chair my niece Melissa over at http://www.thecutestthing.blogspot.com/ made for me it started out as a $4.00 thrift store chair and she turned it into a masterpiece all done by hand and her amazing talent!

I cant quite get through the weekend without being crafty!

On Saturday I made this little pincushion , I love doing hand work I enjoyed sewing on the wool bird and all the embellishments I added sequins and filled it with crushed walnut shells!
