Time To Say Goodbye till 2011

St Patty's Day came and went so quickly! I love this holiday, maybe it is because both of my parents father's were Irish. We always had fun on this day.

I will see you back here in 2011!

About Me

My husband and I have been married 34 years - amazing to me that he still loves me! He si a trooper. We have 5 children, 4 daughters and 1 son. We have 5 grandson's. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have traveled alot and lived in several places. Grateful now that we have sunk our roots back home.

Our last daughter got married this past summer and so I am finding myself, trying to re-define my world a bit. I have been doing the mom thing for so long, I feel like a fish out of water. I decided to join the blogging world and maybe along the way I can help someone else, as much as so many have helped me.

Please come and visit me in my little blogging rooms that are centered around my interests:
Family
Preparedness
Holiday Decorating and Fun
Gardening
Being a Grandma (Book done -website to go live soon)
and I am working on others.

Pretend we are sharing lemonade if it is summer and a hot chocolate if it is winter!

The "Weight" Is Over!

Mitchell's Story
My dh, Mitch has been trying to lose weight since he had a heart attack and was in intensive care several years ago. He has high blood pressure and sleep apnea - which caused the problem he had. Losing weight is vital for his health.

He has been on diet after diet. Finally after a lot of research, we found a product that works for losing the weight! We have been really skeptical of many things but this is really working for people. The reports are coming iand everyone who is serious about losing weight are! We are so excited about it.

I have created a blog to chart his progress. It is http://www.mitchsweightisover.blogspot.com/. If you are interested in how it works you can see how Mitch does by following the blog or you can order it and start this week too. Please check this site out for more detailed info about it.

St Patricks Day Traditions

t. Patrick's Day Traditions and Fun FactsFrom ArcaMax, by Lisa Bevan St. Patrick's Day is traditionally a time for parades, parties, toasts in your favorite pub, and time spent with family. Whether your family hails from the Emerald Isle or just wants to join in the festivities - planning an at home Irish party is very easy. Traditional Irish cuisine is easy to prepare, very filling and well suited to sharing with friends and family. Traditional favorites include, corn beef and cabbage, Irish stew, soda break, potatoes - boiled, mashed, friend or made into boxy - a traditional potato pancake. Other variations consist of a traditional fried or grilled breakfast or a selection deserts and rich coffee. The color of the day is green - so be festive and lay out a green tablecloth, napkins and plates. Jazz up your room with clovers and leprechauns and other St Patrick's party items and prizes. A super centerpiece could be your very own pot of gold! Irish cookbooks and recipes are easy to find - either online or at your local library or bookstore. The ingredients for traditional Irish fare is easy to find at your local market or grocery store and in many cities you can even find an Irish import store or import items for a truly authentic touch. It is one part tradition, one part fun, one-part friends and family and you have the best recipe for a successful St. Patrick's Day! Fun Facts: For many people when they think of a leprechaun, they think of the young boy who is on the Lucky Charms cereal box. He is young and playing games and his pot of gold is full of marshmallow treats. Traditionally a leprechaun is a male fairy and is a hard worker - working a craftsman, saving his money and is generally thought to be thrifty and crafty. In many tales, they are known to indulge in a bit of mischief from time to time. Leprechauns were thought to be wealthy - hiding their money in buried crocks - which has in modern times been called their "pot of gold." Their loot was not the product of trickery but rather through hard work and careful savings. Legend held that if a human fixed their eyes on a leprechaun he could not escape - but the second the human gaze wandered - the leprechaun made his escape. Today leprechauns play a role in the fun that is St. Patrick's Day - being a symbol of the festive nature of the day, which seems like a fitting nod to hard workingmen with a penchant for mischief from time to time.
