Old Eyes Need A Bigger Screen

I decided I could no longer

stand the fact my eyes were getting too old to

see the small TV in our great-room. Other

TV's in our home are large screens in smaller rooms. The TV is 17 years old and so are my eyes! Viewing the channel guide sitting 23 feet away, is no longer possible. I know I have the option of getting off the couch and putting my nose on the TV screen for viewing but, the idea of getting that much exercise seems overwhelming. So... we are installing "modern" electronics in our great-room. I use the term "modern" because I am

referring to American standards not Cambodian standards. Ha. We found new equipment but, could not find a cabinet that would house what we needed in a size of proper height and depth. Of course, that meant Rick had to start building. It's nice to be married to a talented guy! I thought some of you might enjoy following another one of Danna's hair-brained projects. Hopefully, I will have more progress pictures in a week or so.

Give Me A Sugar Kiss

The grandkids were coming over and I thought it would be fun to have a treat waiting for them. In the freezer sugar cookie dough was waiting to be baked. I also had some leftover buttercream frosting in the fridge. I only had 30 minutes to decorate them so, I wasn't able to do anything too fancy. It didn't matter because they thought they "lips" were cute and gobbled them up. YUM!

Oh Sugar, Sugar...

Sugar seems to be the theme of the week. Here are some pictures of the completed Hula Girl mini cakes and the onesie cookie tree. The cookies took about 12 minutes each to decorate so, it was truly a labor of love. (or boredom)

Sugar Art...

Last winter I took a few cake decorating classes at the local college.. Yes, I know...boring! In an effort to make the activity sound more exciting, I am now referring to my baking as "Sugar Art"...

Here's a few pictures of my latest work.

Posting My Boring Life

As I promised Kallie, I am setting up a blog. She promised it was the easiest way for both she and Lynette to follow my daily and very boring activities. So, Kallie...this blog is for you! You better leave comments on my posts so I know you are watching! Ha.
