We bought this balloon for our little granddaughter who enjoyed it very much! We went down to visit in the morning and by the time we left at 4:30pm The balloon was popped! I think grammpa helped with that one! But we did get a picture of it so I thought I would put it up to remember the balloon!
We went to the mall yesterday to walk around for exercise and of course my hubby had to go into the Verizon area to look at phones! And guess what! he got one! But it is waterproof up to 30 pounds of pressure up to thirty minutes! What ever that means! I told him not to test it out! Also it suppose to be a little better built if he drops it! Hopefully he wont do that either! It comes with a camera and it has Internet on it but we didn't get that part! But he can take pictures and I can download them to the puter! So now he has a camera for himself!
He is having some problem getting the numbers on it as it really is different from the old phone he had! But I bet in a few weeks he will know it like he had the phone for years!
I was surfing the Internet when I found a web site that sold modular homes so I emailed them and they had one with three bedrooms and laundry room on main floor! And it only cost 52,000.00 I got excited and wanted to go look at it until I added the amount for the moving the house and placing it on basement ! also when you add the basement and sewer and well and furnace and electric hook up and a garage in we still come up to 180,000.00 and we just cant afford it ! Oh well we will keep working on our home here and enjoy it! I now want to get the trim up this weekend! haha well see it took me over four months to get hubby to help me fix the pantry door! But we got it done! But hopefully I can get him moving this weekend!

Valentine Day

I hope all the woman out there got a rose or chocolates! I myself was really happy with working till 6:oo am then going to Walmart to find some spicy candy and chocolate raisins for my hubby! As I went to find him a hat I found a jean jacket on sale and bought that also! When I got home I came in as quite as possible and went downstairs to my hobby room and made a card and then put the stuff in a box and then really quite I went upstairs and put it on his chair! It felt so good to be the one to give and celebrate this day! I always thought (because of the TV ads and the way I was taught in my era of growing up) The men give on this special day! Well to let everyone know my hubby gives every day! When I come home from work he makes me a bath! With bubble bath in it! He even goes out and buys the stuff! He does the wash!( okay wish he put them away) He also does dishes and cleans house! He takes care of changing oil and the upkeep on the vehicles! He does the snow removal and also He has been doing the mowing in the summer! ( I use to do that) I just want the world to know that I love my husband and I felt so good to celebrate with giving him a gift! by the way he never would have found the box that morning as he woke up and decided to take me to breakfast! I had to give it to him! But he was so cute at hiding his disappointment that he himself didn't get me anything! But I told him he gives everyday of is life since I met him! And this valentines day was his day to celebrate how much I love him! I still have that good feeling this morning! And of course he is still sleeping and its 9:30 in the morning! We are going to head up the north shore to Betty pies today to have supper as I found a coupon online it's a buy one get one deal! I get these deal off of Sudden deals! They have coupons for around Duluth area for restaurants and other stuff! Some of the coupons are good deals!

pasties and what fun I had

Okay really this is hard work! We had a small roast beef the other night and I decided the left over beef was going to go into the pasties I made yesterday! Well I started with cubing up a potato into small pieces and then the same with the gr.pepper,celery,onion,carrots,and mushroom,and tomatoes! Then I cubed up the roast beef I had left over. I had left over gravy also! Well then thinking I had enough to make four pasties I made the pie crust and started to make them! Well I ended it making pasties for two hours! I made enough ingredient for twelve pasties! the last one was a little bigger and had more stuff in it! Hubby got that one and he loved it! Well I froze eight of them and we ate four last night! I know one was enough but my god they were Delicious. But know I can take one out for work and hubby can eat one when I'm working overtime! So nothing will go to waste!
Today I'm going to try a asparagus risotto and see how we like it! We tried a new recipe call chicken Thia soup and we like that one! I am trying to make new dishes and spice up our life a little bit! Also these recipes come from a web site called eatbetteramerica and I do like the site! So tonight I will see if I like this new recipe! it looks good!

Heres my other new addition

Well here's the other one I had to get! My hubby liked this as much as I did! on the back side of the camera is a Emmett smile drawn on it! The details are so cute! so for the next few months I got to start slowing down on buying these clowns! ha ha! I have my eye on another one! I know that I should be putting the prices on the bottom of the clowns as I receive them as it would make it easier for the person who gets stuck with these when I pass away! Just think in twenty years these should be worth a mint! Ha Ha they probably wont be worth a dime because of the age group who buy them will be in there graves! There will be a over abundance of them online! But oh well it is fun to get them in the mail!
Wait till hubby wakes up today and finds out my new idea! I am thinking of remoldeling the basement so I can put up shelves and display my clowns in a nicer and roomer way! But it does mean we would have to clean up down here! That might make my hubby have to move out of his easy chair and help me move some stuff out of the basement! But right now I do have a good idea and I could make a bedroom downstairs for when we have all the kids up again! Just thinking !

New addition

Well I bid on this little treasure and I won it! I really like this
piece! Its a large one and I think I got a good deal on it!
I know with how the economy is going and soon I could be
laid off, (because we don't really know if my work place will be
around next year), I should not be buying right now! But with husband by my side we decided to do it! Also we bought another one today! I just like the Emmett Kelly clown! You cant get them anymore so I think that is what makes them so special! But I have always like the Emmett hobo and the details that make the clown!
I do one day want to make a blog on my clown collection just to see if I an the only one who is nuts about this or if there are more people out there who are like me! I guess I know there are more out there cause I get outbid on some of the items which I have been trying to get!
Actually today with the freezing rain we are having ,(So we are stuck in the house all day) Would be a good day to do this! But knowing me I will go over to my scrap booking area and start in over there! Then today I promised hubby I would make pasties for him tonight! But being I have tonight off I can stay up late and enjoy the day stuck in the house!
