What Your Nose Says About You



It's likely that you'll be lucky with money, though this luck may come later in life.



You are helpful and giving. You like cooperating, and you're always willing to lend a hand.



You are a nosey person and a bit of a snoop. You can't help but be curious!



You are pessimistic and cynical. You expect the worst from people.

Something new....SATURDAY SOCIAL

I stumbled across this cute little site this morning. It caught my attention because I like questions, meme's, lists & schtuff like that :)
I've often thought of doing something similar myself but I'm not very creative for coming up with questions.

Today's Saturday Social Question:

Do you like to cook? What is your best dish?

My Answer:
I don't hate it but not a favorite thing to do either. I'm not that great of a cook & when I do I like to keep it simple. I'm mostly a convenient cook, I like cute little boxes and think Campbells soup can fix just about anything! lol
I guess I don't think cooking is the best use of my time.
My favorite thing to make and eat is my Tatertot hotdish & I've never got any complaints yet :)

Brenda Photo Challenge 10-18-08

This weeks hostess was Donna and she chose the theme old.
The first thing I thought of was this Christmas Cactus

This cactus is special and old because it belongs to our sweet friend David, he is 93.

My Mom is a caregiver to David & we all enjoy spending time with him. This past Easter I learned that David's mother actually started the descendant to this Christmas cactus about 120 years ago! Talk about roots! lol...roots! :) Anyway, I'm told the planter is quite old too about 100 years!

It grew and grew and after her death was seperated into 3 plants one of which David cares for. Cuttings are always shared with family and friends and now I too, am an owner of plant with a rich history... this wonderful Christmas cactus.



This is a picture of an old train station and train from our vacation to Sacramento 3 years ago.

And lastly an old spider press that engraves plates for engraving our money. It was on display at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, we visited to DC this past summer.

Cami's DOUBLE Video pick of the day :)

Oh, I'm on a Serena Ryder kick. Might very well be a personal mission to make people love her! lol...Gol, she's 25, so talented and just look how beautiful she is too! :)

I've been tagged....

By my sweet scrappy friend Amy

here are the rules;

Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


1. I'm pretty sure I have an M&M addiction...especially with almonds...yummy!

2. I'm not an *outdoors* person.

3. I'm totally disgusted by bugs, I'm not scared of them...I just hate them cuz they're just GROSS!

4. I am only 4' 11" tall

5. I practically live in my pj's! Only get dressed if I have to leave the house or have company coming over. But I get rather annoyed by people who wear pj's in public.

6. I once moved half way cross the country to live with a guy I fell in love with over the phone. Now I'm a self proclaimed homebody :)

7.I'm not a neat freak but I am fairly germophobic.

Ok, there's my 7. Since I'm not sure who wants to do it, I'm leaving that part open :)

Fall Has Definitely Arrived and winter is on it's way...

We've enjoyed cool fall temps and falling leaves this week in ND. But this morning we awoke to big monster falling snow flakes! They melted as soon as they hit the ground but we got our first snow :)

Something New...a Photo Challenge

This is from the folks at Brenda Photo Challenge
the theme was Yellow
First a "Yellow Fellow"........this is my kitchen border

Next this was actually the first thing I thought of when I thought "what do I possibly have that's yellow???" LOL!! Well Samantha just loves her Lunchables, a must have staple at our house!

My very very old colander set

and lastly something yellow from this week, Samantha's reading certificate from school :)


So, that's a look at yellow from my world. I really had fun with this challenge and hope to do it again. Thanks goes to Jeanne for always inspiring me with her fun pictures!
