I found these two beauties at Marshall's. They were perfect. They put off just the right amount of warm cozy light. And then the one started to "tink" Tink like the bulb was warming up or getting ready to blow. Then it did it again, and then "tink" tink... and the top of the base shattered. Yep, shattered. I quickly jumped up and unplugged it and then unplugged the other one.. My heart sank. The next day I returned them and then searched about 6 others stores. Couldn't find anything as beautiful.. Still no lamps. Will update when I find the next winner. </div>

<a href="http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/">Wednesday Hodge Podge</a><br />
1. July is National Anti-Boredom Month. When was the last time you were bored? What's your go-to cure for boredom?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A good nap...</span><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
2. What's the last thing you made a reservation for?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our trip to Panama City Beach, Florida. We stayed at the Sterling Reef Resort. Our unit #1106 was nice and clean. Great view.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
3. What's one thing on your summer bucket list? Any plans to make it happen?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No, not really. I don't really have a organized bucket list. Maybe this is something I need to think about.</span><br />
<br />
4. What's your favorite summertime sip?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been on a strawberry tea or any iced tea..except Raspberry. </span><br />
<i><br /></i> 5. What do you find is the best way to handle another person's hostility and hopefully ease the tension?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't really know.. I am drawing a blank</span><br />
<br />

I kind of stole this recipe from <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2014/01/queso-fundido/">The Pioneer Woman, Queso Fundido</a> but put my own spin on it. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TaHw0G0LiDbq9WzkxqbblzScl-0jwYGDIkBjSX0PFjNx8jKyEgNY7C7zbXUVqQOvtpyMqWjl9BLUFnoQZWdPfo0HhIihDQUQl4s4n-nZG7H7tAtv8rYqY9gufDK1jID4XvduCUgh7xA/s1600/DSC01474+a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TaHw0G0LiDbq9WzkxqbblzScl-0jwYGDIkBjSX0PFjNx8jKyEgNY7C7zbXUVqQOvtpyMqWjl9BLUFnoQZWdPfo0HhIihDQUQl4s4n-nZG7H7tAtv8rYqY9gufDK1jID4XvduCUgh7xA/s1600/DSC01474+a.jpg" height="320" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with Mild Country Sausage. Let me say I always buy Bob Evans, but the Tennessee Pride was just as good. I browned it in a skillet and drained. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut up a bit of Vidalia onion, green onions, tomato and bell peppers. I love these bag of peppers, they are so cheap, like $1.89 a bag. So easy, Cut off the top, reach in with finger and thumb and pull the seeds out. So easy. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The I took the pizza cutter to some cilantro. The above pictures looks like it's all smushed together. Well, it is. I roll it up in paper towel and then put in a Ziploc with all air removed. I think it lasts longer when I do that. So in above pic I didn't fluff it for pic cause I don't want the oxygen to get to it. I pull out a few pieces and put it back in the back. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I grabby whatever bags of open cheese I had. I am a cheese junky. I have 5-6 different open bags and probably 10 unopened bags. I am in a panic when I don't have cheese and sour cream. I can almost live without eggs but cheese..NO!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcYRDaGuWeCeG9hpMVnHQ_KkFQm2p8QAE-TM2UIdHvXhIIqOMpRERw6G2nFHs7urIWSznYo9_Gy1Xn9XJAf7lP-ES_Yq0NgzWbRJqsF5_Zhgvxx-J9GGBaxZyvhnXKHW98UIrdqUpZ-TQ/s1600/DSC01482.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcYRDaGuWeCeG9hpMVnHQ_KkFQm2p8QAE-TM2UIdHvXhIIqOMpRERw6G2nFHs7urIWSznYo9_Gy1Xn9XJAf7lP-ES_Yq0NgzWbRJqsF5_Zhgvxx-J9GGBaxZyvhnXKHW98UIrdqUpZ-TQ/s1600/DSC01482.JPG" height="267" width="400" /></a></div>
So then I threw the sausage back in the skillet on low heat, cracked a few eggs and added cheese.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now Ree would put the tomato, peppers, onion, cilantro etc in the skillet and let it all bubble together but I knew no one in the house would eat it so I left it as meat, cheese and eggs. Everyone could put what veggies on top. Then dip with tortilla chips, roll up in a soft tortilla or however you choose. I think for me it's a keeper. Not sure if the family agreed but it's an option. The family is not picky but some things they don't think is as mouth watering as I do. Speaking of.. I smell my ribs I have cooking in the oven for dinner.. Stay tuned .. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Sarah was to fly in on Tuesday from Daytona. But.... her plane engine wouldn't start.. now that is pretty important so she had to spend another night and come in one Wednesday. Drake was leaving Wednesday. So he left from Panama to Atlanta to Columbus. Her plane went from Daytona to Atlanta to Panama. Confused yet? I was. I had flight numbers and gate numbers swirling through my head. The table in the condo was like a mini control central. I had their flights up, info written down. was texting them their gates.. it was stressful time for ole' mama. Anyways, she text me and told me they didn't have a gate to go into at Atlanta. I looked and Drake had just taken off minutes before that. they missed each other by minutes. . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So let's back up. On Tuesday Drake, Josie and I were out pretty far in the water. We teamed up with two boys from out hotel and made numbers. I am all about swimming in groups. Not really for safety but for the numbers. Anytime I went out I made sure I was heading towards the groups. groups make me feel better. So Maybe Wednesday night we saw these guys swimming around. Right where we had swam the day before. Kind of unnerving. but whatever. .. ok. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just want to say. Baxter had a complete melt down when we got home. He has always kind of been mouthy when we come back but this was crazy. As long as Greg and I were in the same room he would lay down. but if I got up he would follow me screaming with meows.. I went up stairs and he did that long deep meow like he was calling me. So now that I try to type this he is lying half on my keyboard. with his whole back against my left arm. He missed us so much. I will try to get a picture. I will try to add that to a post. He is crazy. Greg thinks he had a anxiety attack.</span> </div>

I'm pretty good at remember what day I took what pictures but this vacation was not like that. I didn't take gobs of pics. I wanted to relax and not worry about documenting our visit. Everyone (the family) was like that who needs pics.. just do it.. so I did. See the backpack behind Josie's chair. That is all Drake brought with him. Laptop, movies, clothes, flip flops. done.. No I had to bring, the biggest suitcase I had, plus a bag for this, and bag for that. too much crap. <br />

The water really appeared more aqua in person. In all my pictures it looks a little green. Even that last two days when it was a little mossy it was still clear. The sand never got too hot. the water was never too cold. it was perfect. <br />

Their camp the first day. We took this from the 11th floor. We stayed at the Sterling Reef Resort, room 1106. It was very clean, (not when we left) . 2 bedroom, 2 bath ..and Drake said the pullout couch was so comfy. Plenty of room. good overall. The pool wasn't that big and fancy but it worked. We went down the first night and then one other day. It was perfect.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Every year the Race Across America comes through our city. "RAAM" is a 3000 mile bike race from California to Maryland. Once the clock starts for you (solo) or your team, it does not stop until you reach Maryland. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">In 2010 I got involved with the time station in Blanchester, Ohio. I took photos of passing cyclists and their crews. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Last March I was asked if I could house a solo cyclist from Austria for his training rides. Christoph Strasser and his cousin Michael Kogler came and stayed with us for a long weekend. Then in June when the race came through his team stopped at our house to swim and took showers and ate pizza and donuts.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">One of the guys sleeps outside. They said it didn't matter if it was 5 degrees he would be outside. So we found him on the back porch sound asleep.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">They had 11 crew members in 2 vans and 1 RV. 1 van and RV came ahead of Christoph at 9 am and swam, showered, ate donuts and fruit. Then when Christoph came through around 1:15 that van went with him and his follow van came to the house.</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Then that van and the RV left around 2pm.

So if you are interested in helping out, go to <a href="http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/">www.raceacrossamerica.org</a> They are always looking for officials along the 3000 miles, photographers, and crew always need additional American crew members (cause it doesn't cost as much to fly us to California as it does from a foreign country) And if you are along the route or really close and you would like to house a crew or let them shower</div>

On Thanksgiving day I made everyone a mustache with my new Silhouette Machine. I love that thing. This pic is horrible but you get the idea.

Greg's grandma turned 100 this December. She was so impressed telling us how the guy next to her was 98.. she didn't even understand that she was older. She still gets her nails down, wears her jewelry and plays bingo every night.. She still has not received her letter from the President.

<span style="font-size: large;">For Drake's graduation party I made a shark fruit bowl. I know this would have been better for a beachy, pool party theme but I wanted to try it. It was fairly easy. For some reason the ones on the pinterest look better but it worked and everyone loved it. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0K8r-ExqyODrgFbzeopXmHAV6W1thpRg98BWOP1S1nrnsF1IqarzvqltSA3jUGGLRbM-l4T20ctCv_4dUJWMePY5VSP3W3h_flpJuMOFJsWPlCrm-VbpzbnUoLCl8IW_70u-iOvGACKE/s1600/IMG_0851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0K8r-ExqyODrgFbzeopXmHAV6W1thpRg98BWOP1S1nrnsF1IqarzvqltSA3jUGGLRbM-l4T20ctCv_4dUJWMePY5VSP3W3h_flpJuMOFJsWPlCrm-VbpzbnUoLCl8IW_70u-iOvGACKE/s400/IMG_0851.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sam's didn't have blueberries so I punted and used black berries </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the eyes. It worked.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You would not believe how fast this fruit went. I guess the thought of eating out of a shark's mouth makes it more exciting. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So for you next adventure I suggest you pull up pinterest and make your own shark bowl. It was a hit.</span></div>

Mother's Day Sunday Greg and Drake took me out to eat while the girls went with their mom. After dinner the girls came back and Greg's mom came over to play cards and see Sarah. So as we played, laughed, bleeped..bleep bleep we played cards. I know this may be too exciting for some..he he.. I'm sure some reality TV show will be picking us up for the new Duck Dynasty.. NOT.. So sit back and hold on to your pants cause this is a wild ride.. Yep.. we are officially a boring family.
