Turning 60

Well, I did it. I turned 60 last week. My loving husband did the most wonderful thing...He took me to Las Vegas for my birthday. AND to the first restaurant we went to as man and wife on our honeymoon, a mere 41 years ago. We went to Binnions, on Fremont Street, when we were married and then again last Wednesday night and it was just as wonderful as I remembered it 41 years ago. Our waiter was a fellow named Pat and he was very good to us and treated me to my very favorite desert--Cream Brulee'. We stayed at a beautiful hotel called Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon. (Don't let the name throw you.) It was truly beautiful. We had a great time and would go back to that same place in a heartbeat. (Provided that now I'm 60 my heart will still beat!)

Another decade has passed and life goes on.

Introducing Jadea Lynn Taylor

Yes, yet another party. We had the best time welcoming to the family Jadea Lynn. She is the granddaughter of my sister-in-law, Becky. Here are several pictures from the baby shower that we gave for Becky's daughter, Nicole and her new little one, Jadea Lynn. It was quite the party, Jadea's Great Grandma Shanna doesn't spare anything for the new babies in the family. We started with a salad with greens, fresh raspberries, fresh Roquefort cheese, toasted pecans and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Next on the menu was glazed chicken breasts in a white wine sauce, green beans with almonds, wild rice and lovely dinner rolls from our favorite bakery. After presents we finished off with cream pies.

As you can tell from my blog, we do party hearty and eat well. Hope you enjoy the slide show.

Another week has passed on...

It has been a little while since I have talked to you all. I have seen the weeks go my too fast since all our partying. I have taken to needle and thread and pushed the adhesive and card stock aside for a little bit. Here is what I have been working on. I'm involved with a group of ladies that are doing a fundraiser and I am giving these baby quilts as a donation for their boutique on October 10th.
The needle and thread will now be given up for culinary skills as we are having a big baby shower this weekend, so maybe after that I can get back to adhesive and card stock. Have a good week.





PS-We went to our grand-daughter Sydney play volly ball last night. She is very excited to belong to the team and they did super. Check out Angie's blog stampingsoftheshug.blogspot.com to see Syd in action.

New Cards

When we haven't been partying, I have managed to make a few new cards. Most of the products are Stampin' Up, I'm sure you can tell. They were fun.
