Time Flys By!

Wow, hard to believe it is already the middle of February.  So much has happened since I last posted, that I hardly know where to start.  We had a new granddaughter in May, and it won't be long until she is a year old now.  Haven't got to see her as much as I would like to, but I treasure every moment that I do. 
Jack, Bella and Sophie are all about a year older, and growing in leaps and bounds!  The Miskin family was home for Christmas and we had such a great week!  Cookie making  , cutting down a tree and playing in the snow.  Going to see Beauty and the Beast at the Elgin Opera House. Eating lots of good food and playing games and cards!  The time flew by as always and I was sad to see them go.
On New Years Day we drove to Portland to see Jeff and his family.  It was a quick trip, and of course time flew by then also. Brook, Wes and Jack Robert had all grown and Ellery Jane had really changed since the last time I saw her,
Jeff and baby had a cold, of course they shared, and I have been sick pretty much the whole month of Jan. and am not quite over the stuff. 
On Thanksgiving, I received a picture on my phone from Sophie with a shirt on that said "big Sister" letting us know that another grand baby was on the way!  Very excited about that news and can't wait to meet the new little one!
Been walking rain snow or shine, speaking of which it was beautiful here today, felt like spring for sure. That one February day that makes you ready for summer, and then zaps you with another batch of winter.  We are suppose to have snow this next week.
I am sure there have been way more things happen, but that is all I can think of right now.











Happy Valentine Day!  Love the Goo

Tomatoes




My tomatoes plants have gone crazy this year. They are starting to get ripe, so I hope we have warm weather for awhile longer. We had BLT's with the huge tomatoe that I grew, It was so very tasty and so very big!

The Oregon Coast











We just had a wonderful few days at The Oregon Coast! The weather was beautiful for the most part. The dogs had a great time, and we had a great time with them. The food was really good except for one meal. I had clam chowder every day, oh no, but it was vacation, and at the beach!




We saw a lot of whales, and seals, swimming along the coast where we were staying and South of where we were staying. Oh how I long to go back, the sound of the ocean is so soothing, and the sunsets so beautiful! Maybe again next year, with my grandkids would be the absolute best time ever!

The Cake

The cake showed in the last post was very good. It was triple chocolate, and white cake, with chocolate buttercream frosting and huckleberry filling between the layers. It has been so long since I have posted, that I have to figure it all out again. Anyway, I will try to update soon, there has been a lot going on since my last post, I think in Feb. or whenever that was.

Happy Anniversary




Happy Anniversary to my hubby, and to my daughter and her husband! We were both married on this date, years apart however!


The day started off pretty good. We got up to go to the breakfast out at the fair grounds. We ate, looked at a few exhibits, and then back home to go to Tri-Cities to eat at Famous Dave's BBQ and shop for a few things. Got back home loaded the coolers, for our usual Costco shopping trip, to find that our freezer was having a problem. Either the door got left open part way, or it was going bad. Either way, we had a mess to clean up. We unloaded the freezer, took the stuff to mom's freezer, and then shopped around for a new freezer, in case we needed to get a new one. Came back home, went ahead and thawed out the freezer , it is not frost free, and then turned it back on to see if it was working or not. So far it seems to be working , which is good. On the down side, we didn't go to Tri-Cities, but we did go later to Barley Browns in Baker and had a good dinner. Last night I made Brad a cake for our anniversary, which I will post a picture of. It was very yummy!!!
