Weeds

The other night I pulled weeds for thirty minutes and look how much I got. This was only around my patio in the back. My shoe here is a size 9, so that means that is a lot of weeds.

New Do

On one of our many Wednesday Date Night's we decided to do something different to our do's. So we went to Ulta and spent some money. Not as much as if we went to a salon. My new hair color cost me only $12.99, compared to the $65 that I used to pay about 6 years ago. To see what I did and how bold I went well I guess you have to see me in person. I will leave that part a surprise.

My Dad's New Toy

This is a official green John Deere tractor. I got to take it on a drive and loved it. It was so easy and like a golf cart but with so much power.

It's Snowing In Chattanooga

There was a neighborhood wide yard sale that started at 7am, so we got up and and got ready to find that it was snowing and 30 degrees outside. We were already dressed so we went ahead and drove to the neighborhood. It was a very big neighborhood but only about 4 houses actually were selling anything. We didn't find anything but it was good to get out and see more of what this town looks like.

What Might Be Coming Soon To Lick Skillet Road

This is so simple, easy and peaceful. The effect will be nice in the evenings eating dinner or by the fireplace. Maybe I will get this done this year.

February's Cake Is...

Triple-Chocolate Mousse Cake

Martha's version

My version

This was not very easy to make and at 11:30 at night you just kinda loose all patients. The tape would not stick to the parchment paper so taping it in a circle to hold the mousse in was very hard. I lost all the patient I had and just made a so called circle and filled it in and the did it again in the other flavor of mousse. The cake part was very good at first but after it sitting in the fridge waiting on the mouse to completely set it became hard and dried out. But it was worth the effort and very chocolaty.

Pretty Centerpiece

February 16th I had a Pampered Chef party and made this really cute centerpiece. It is red tulips and red hots. Very simple and inexpensive but it only lasted about 3 days because the tulips started to die.
