What's Cookin' With Molly

Goofy Kids

2011-12-29T16:34:00.000-06:00

I said my family is always making funny faces or dressing weird. Here are two of my Great Grand Kids, Kingston and Alayla. As you can tell, he does his on purpose but Alayla's mom put this thing on her head. Poor kids don't have a chance.
I will be adding more as we go along.

GOING TO SEE SANTA

2011-12-21T21:19:00.000-06:00

This is Diem, she's on her way to talk to Santa, Isn't she a doll?

We have a new baby!

2011-12-19T20:41:00.001-06:00

Here is the newest addition to our family tree. She was born Dec.12th. Her name is Diem LeAnn, she weighed in at 7#15oz. Her parents are Travis and Cassie and she has a big brother Kingston who is 4yrs. old
She is our 7th Great grand child totaling 21 Grand kids all together. I can't wait to hold her, that will be right after Christmas if the no snow weather holds out. Our trip would be from Mpls to Sioux Falls, So.Dak. It's been a good year here for shopping with no snow to keep us in. I am ready for Christmas now, well I'm done shopping and now to wrap. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas I know I will.
Merry Christmas Everyone and Peace to all

Beauty and The Beast

2011-12-07T21:00:00.000-06:00

East View High school in Apple Valley, Mn. Rocks!! Just came from their play, it was wonderful. These teenagers are so talented, I bet we will see their names on Broadway someday. Their voices were so great! The Band was also very good,and very professional, didn't miss a beat..I'm thinking we all should support these teens in all they do the hard work it takes to put on such wonderful entertainment.

Bring on the snow!!

2011-11-28T21:56:00.000-06:00

Yes, bring on the snow, we need the moisture we are behind about 6". I do love the snow, I don't mind Winter, and we have to have snow for Christmas, that's why I live in Mn. I am way ahead of my usual cards out and shopping this year so I'm sure it will be much more relaxing. Now I should decide what I will bake so we all have a few treats (yummy) It will more than likely be cookies,breads and candy. And what's your favorite?

Jingle Jingle, Jingle all the way!!!

2011-11-21T17:03:00.000-06:00

Well it's here the Turkey and Christmas Season is going full force. The stores have been decorating for at least a month now, like we are going to miss the Christmas Season. This year I think I will do better about getting cards out and shopping early(I hope) If you shop on Amazon just click on my banner and it will take you right to the store. Don't forget to check my new site www.pleasurexrr.com There you may find a delightful gift for your lover.

Check out my new business (If you dare :)

2011-10-14T18:56:00.000-05:00

You can call my new business a little naughty but some very nice also. I'm in the Romance Business, we are here trying to make things very interesting in a relationship, maybe spice it up some or give you some new ideas to make a good relationship even better.

This is my favorite time of the year

2011-09-24T20:15:00.000-05:00

The weather is cooler the first signs of Winter are in the air and it's time to get out the baking pans! I made a double batch of sugar cookies to send to my grandsons in Ms. I make the dough, freeze it solid and send it UPS. When they get it it will still be nice and cold. They roll them in sugar and bake them off. If I baked them first they would be cookie crumbs in a box because they are so delicate. Then I made banana bread and apple bread. I love the fact that all the wonderful apples are in season so out with the apple recipes. This is the time to start thinking about Halloween candy and then Thanksgiving Day. I think I love this time of the year it's when the families get together after a busy Summer. Then of coarse there is Christmas another very busy and happy time for most.We should still get our Indian Summer and watch the trees change into Mother Natures wonderful colors.

I Got Nothin

2011-08-21T17:46:00.001-05:00

I have been trying to think of something to write about and I drew a blank. This is the time of the year that gets kind of idle here with no kids to shop for, all the gardening is done, ready to eat it or can it. Now the State Fair starts this week in Mn. Fun for all the Fair goers. We haven't been there for years, it's just to crowded for us and we sure don't need all that yummy greasy food. I'm having a garage sale this week at a friends house, OMG I didn't realize just how much (STUFF) I have to get rid of, well that's a lie...I have known for years! We have been here for 40 years and are trying not to leave too much for the kids to throw out. One good thing about cleaning out is finding things you have been looking for for years, lot's of fun surprises. I stay away from boxes of pictures or my day is wasted reminiscing. Everyone enjoy the weather and don't work too hard.

Little Farmer Part 2

2011-08-08T18:15:00.002-05:00

The other day I posted the little guys picture and I wrote a story but this posting was not working for me, so here's the story. The farmer Xavier helped his mom carry the veggies up to the house in his back pack. Emptied it on the floor and started sorting it like Halloween candy (that's how his mom explained it) and eating it. He doesn't know yet that he shouldn't like vegetables like most kids do at this age. I'm thinking he will be the only other one that likes gardening like mom.

The Little Farmer

Everything is Beautiful

2011-07-13T14:05:00.001-05:00

Now that Summer is finally here and the plants are growing strong, it's great to just sit around and enjoy them...Except the weeds are growing great also. I have been busy watching my great grandson for 3 weeks and we spend most of the days outside. He is 3 years old and very busy which is probably the reason I lost 6#. Now I think if he stayed for a few more months I could be looking pretty good. Our Raspberries look like we should have lot's of them, they were planted last year, I hope to make more Jam, thanks to my grand daughter who gave the plants to us. We have relations here now from Texas, they think they need sweaters here.And I went to the Farmer's Market today, it's so nice to see all of the fresh organic veggies.
So what did you all do today?
.

2011-06-18T13:18:00.000-05:00

This is pictures of my husband and 2 great grandsons with their horses, yes my husband Bob is really into riding now that he has his own horse. And it's true he talks more to her than me, I think it's because there is no back talk.These horses are all out to my daughters farm, and it's about 44 miles from us and with gas prices so high he doesn't get out there as much as he would like. Now that all the plants are planted all he has to do is mow the lawn that gives him more time for riding. Bob bought me a new weed whacker, cordless, self feed, the old one was always stopping to re feed the cord, what a pain and the cord had to be so long it was always tangled with something in in the yard. If anyone is looking for plant stands or shelves for their garden, check out my store http://www.gardeningwithmolly.com so how does your garden grow?

Minnesota

2011-05-14T11:34:00.000-05:00

Here I sit complaining about a rainy day, and then I see on the news how bad the floods are as the great Mississippi goes South through all the State and floods everyone out. I can't imagine having that happen to my home. I guess I will just relax and wait for a nice sunny day to do some planting. I started some Seeds inside and they are growing really fast. Yesterday I baked 4 loaves of Rhubarb Bread, it turned out very good and yummy.
We found out our Apple Trees have some kind of black rot, so we have never had a season with good Apples. We just may cut them down. I hope my Pear Trees don't end up that way. Well back to doing nothing and I do that really good.

A Great May Day

2011-05-02T20:01:00.001-05:00

May 1st. a day we will all remember as the day we won in finally bringing down Bin Laden, it will not bring back all the losses he made for so many Americans, but it's a start.
There are still so many of his followers out there we will be on guard in keeping our Nation safe. Now is the time to say prayers to our God to keep our Armed Forces safe.

It's really ugly out there

2011-04-04T14:19:00.001-05:00

The snow is almost gone the grass under the snow is so ugly from a few left over leaves and all the snow mashing down the lawn.I see a few trees that are trying very hard to bud out, the days go from 30 to 60 degrees and that will go on for a while now because that's the way it is in Mn.
We planted Raspberry Plants last year and I'm anxious to see if they made it through the Winter.Just thinking about them makes me hungry for Raspberry Desserts. Our Pear trees are still small but look like they survived the weather.
Clematis is one of my favorite climbing flowers, we have white, pink, and purple. Now the purple ones get very big and thick so I try to keep them on our side of the Trellis but they sneak over to the other side for the neighbors to enjoy.

OUR CRAZY WORLD

2011-01-29T15:40:00.000-06:00

JUST A FEW WORDS ON OUR WORLD TODAY, EGYPT IS STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT. THEY NEED OUR PRAYERS FOR A PEACEFUL END. LAST NIGHT I HEARD 39 OFFICERS QUIT IN NORTHERN MEXICO BECAUSE OF THE HORRIBLE MURDERS OF THEIR COMRADES LET'S ALL PRAY THAT THIS ALL COMES TO A END SOON.

YES, I MADE IT ANOTHER YEAR!

2011-01-01T13:26:00.001-06:00

I GUESS I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE IT TO THIS AGE, BUT HERE I AM 69 AND HOLDING, NOW WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THIS YEAR? RIGHT NOW LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW IT DON'T LOOK TOO PROSPEROUS WITH ALL THE SNOW. THIS LAST YEAR WE HAD A ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY, A NEW BABY GIRL, THE 6TH GREAT GRAND BABY! WE ARE SO BLESSED WITH LOT'S OF GRAND KIDS. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE MOST OF THEM HERE IN MN. TO ENJOY OR GET TO GO ON VACATION TO VISIT. HAD A REALLY NICE NEW YEARS EVE WITH GOOD FRIENDS, BUT HOME BY 9PM. WATCHED THE BALL DROP AT 11PM OUR TIME AND NASHVILLE AT OUR TIME. I'M HOPING THIS NEW YEAR IS BETTER FOR EVERYONE THAT'S HAD A ROUGH 2010.
MY BEST TO ALL OF YOU IN THE NEW YEAR

MORE SILLY FACES

2010-11-23T14:53:00.000-06:00

WELL HERE WE GO AGAIN, MORE OF MY FAMILY THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE A NORMAL PICTURE. I'M STARTING TO NOTICE THAT THESE FACES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME KIDS DOING IT. THEY HAVEN'T ASKED ME TO QUIT SO THAT'S JUST FINE WITH ME, IT SHOWS US ALL THEY HAVE FUNNY PERSONALITIES. YES, THESE ARE THE JOKESTERS ALRIGHT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES FAMILIES KIND OF DIFFERENT AND I LOVE IT! I'M SURE I WILL FIND MORE OF THESE FOR A LATER POST.

MY OLD MAN AND A HORSE

2010-10-28T22:35:00.000-05:00

YOU CAN LIVE WITH A PERSON A VERY LONG TIME AND NEVER REALLY KNOW THEM.
THIS I KNOW FOR SURE BECAUSE OF MY HUSBAND BOB. IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS I HAVE LEARNED HE DID FARMING AS A KID WITH HIS UNCLE AND NOW HE'S INTO HORSE BACK RIDING. I RODE AS A TEEN BUT TOO MANY BAD THINGS WOULD HAPPEN, HORSE KICKING, RUNNING AWAY WITH ME AND DUMPING ME OFF SO I GAVE IT UP. WELL ANYWAY THESE NEW THINGS ABOUT BOB ARE CRACKING US ALL UP, BOB IS A MAN OF VERY FEW WORDS SO WHEN NEW STUFF CAME OUT ABOUT HIM, MY GRAN DAUGHTER SAYS WELL..MAYBE HE'S BEEN WITH THE WITNESS PROTECTION PLAN AND FOUND OUT IT'S SAFE NOW. MY FAMILY DOES COME UP WITH SOME FUNNY STUFF, IT'S BOB'S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW AND HE'S GOING FOR THE DAY RIDING WITH OUR DAUGHTER AND FRIEND, OUR DAUGHTER HAS HORSES SO THAT'S HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB......BE VERY CAREFUL

FUNNY FACES

2010-09-03T23:44:00.000-05:00

THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF MY GRAND DAUGHTERS AT THERE BEST. I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT THEY WOULD SAY IF THEY KNEW I PUT THEM ON MY BLOG. THIS WILL BE ONE WAY TO FIND OUT IF THEY EVER READ IT. I DON'T THINK THEY DO. MY FAMILY IS NOT REALLY SHY ABOUT PICTURES BECAUSE I TAKE SO MANY OF THEM, BUT I NOW HAVE A BIG COLLECTION OF GOOFY FACES I HAVE BEEN SAVING TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH. I THINK I WILL START FEATURING A FEW OF THEM NOW AND THEN.

BORING!

2010-08-31T19:21:00.000-05:00

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY! I DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE A VERY BORING LIFE BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN PUT OUT THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. LATELY I'VE BEEN THINKING I COULD BE A TV PROGRAM RATER BECAUSE I HAVE A REALLY BAD KNEE RIGHT NOW AND MOSTLY SIT IN FRONT OF THE TV BECAUSE IT HURTS TO BE ON MY FEET TOO LONG. THOSE NICE PERCOSET PILLS ARE A LIFE SAVER. THE FALL LINE UP FOR TV SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD BUT SO MANY COPY CAT SHOWS, ONE GOOD ONE COMES OUT AND EVERYONE TRIES TO TOP IT. HAVE YOU NOTICED ALL THE COP SHOWS? I LOVE THEM BUT COME ON LETS GET SOME VARIETY PEOPLE...NEW IDEAS....START UP A NEW SHOW FOR EVERYONE TO COPY NEXT YEAR. WELL...BACK TO THE TV AND MY GAMES. EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE AND FUN DAY.

IS IT JUST ME???

2010-07-09T21:50:00.000-05:00

I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE DR. VERY OFTEN BUT IT SEEMS WHEN I DO GO SOME THING ALWAYS GOES WRONG, NOW MY HUSBAND GOES, GET'S THERE REALLY EARLY AND HE'S HOME BEFORE HIS APPOINTMENT TIME. LAST WEEK I WENT AND THE COMPUTERS BROKE DOWN AND THAT MEANS EVERYONE IS AT A LOSS. IT SEEMS NONE OF THE NURSES KNOW YOUR WAITING SO WE ALL JUST SIT THERE. NOW YESTERDAY I HAD TO GO FOR A MRI AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW THEY HAD SOME EMERGENCIES AND WERE RUNNING LATE. I GUESS I'M HAPPY I'M RETIRED AND DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO IN A HURRY.I'M STARTING TO THINK THEY PLAN IT THAT WAY JUST FOR ME. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE THEY SAY....WHOM EVER THEY ARE.

GREAT WEEKEND!!

2010-06-28T13:18:00.000-05:00

VERY BUSY WEEKEND, BUT FUN. WE DROVE TO SIOUX FALLS FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTERS BABY SHOWER, SHE GOT GREAT GIFTS, THEN THE NEXT MORNING TO DULUTH, WHICH IS LIKE ACROSS THE WHOLE STATE OF MINNESOTA. I'M NOT THE BEST CAR TRAVELER BUT I TEND TO DOZE OFF A LOT SO THE TIME GOES FASTER. AFTER THE GRADUATION WE WENT TO THE CASINO (MY FAVORITE THING TO DO) BUT NOT MY HUSBANDS. I HAD A REALLY HOT MACHINE AND LEFT WITH $102.00. NOW THAT USUALLY DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR ME SO IT WAS NICE TO GO HOME WITH EXTRA CASH. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A BIG JACK POT! WELL THAT WAS A GOOD WEEKEND BUT IT SEEMS YOU CAN GET TIRED DOING VERY LITTLE. SO HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?

RODEO SUNDAY

2010-06-20T18:45:00.000-05:00

TODAY WE WENT TO A RODEO, AN ALL STATE SCHOOL RODEO. THIS WAS ALL HIGH SCHOOL TEENS ACROSS MINN. THEY WERE SO GOOD! GALS AND GUYS DOING ROPING, BARREL RACES, BRONCO RIDING AND BULL RIDING. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED AT THE TALENT AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THEY DO BESIDES THE RODEO. IT'S SO NICE TO SEE THE GREAT THINGS THAT OUR KIDS ARE DOING. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ALL OF YOU IN MINN, AND AROUND THE US!

TOO MUCH TIME

2010-06-05T20:18:00.000-05:00

IT'S EITHER ALL OR NOTHING THESE DAYS, HAD FAMILY FROM MS. AND SO.DAK. PICNIC GATHERING, EATING OUT AND LOT'S OF VISITING. THEN THEY ALL LEAVE AND IT'S TOO QUIET. ALSO MY 2 YR OLD GREAT GRANDSON THAT I HAVE BABYSAT FOR SINCE BIRTH HAD TO MOVE TO TEXAS. SO IT WILL BE CALM AROUND HERE UNTIL MY 2 OTHER GREAT GRANDSONS CAN VISIT WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT. HAVEN'T HAD THEM HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE. TIME GOES SO FAST AS YOU GET OLDER, JUST WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO SLOW DOWN A TAD. I'M THINKING ALL THE WEEDS WE HAVE SHOULD KEEP ME BUSY FOR A WHILE....SO HOW IS YOUR WEEK?

I NEVER KNEW

2010-05-26T16:03:00.000-05:00

I NEVER KNEW THERE WERE SO MANY WATER TOYS! I HAVE ADDED SOME TO MY SIDE BAR FOR YOUR KIDS LOVING WATER TOYS. NOW IT'S PERFECT OUT THERE FOR WATER GAMES, I KNOW MY GRANDKIDS LOVE ANYTHING THEY CAN USE WATER IN SO CHECK THEM OUT. TIME TO BEAT THE HEAT!!

ANOTHER GREAT DAY!!!!!

2010-05-20T15:27:00.000-05:00

I'M REALLY ENJOYING THIS MINNESOTA WEATHER, WE MAY HAVE COLD WINTERS BUT ARE SUMMERS ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL! EVERYTHING IS SO GREEN, BUT MY BOB IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS THAT FALL OFF THE MAPLE TREES EVERY YEAR, THEY ARE MESSY. THEY WILL START GROWING INTO A TREE SOON IF YOU LET THEM, THAT COULD BE LOT'S OF TREES GROWING EVERYWHERE, AND THEY GROW FAST. THIS IS WHAT NATURE DOES, I TELL HIM DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF! THAT WILL MAKE HIM CRANKY. SO SO MANY WEEDS TO PULL, BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT. AND SO HOW IS YOUR GARDEN GROWING?????

I GUESS I JUMP AROUND A LOT ABOUT THE THINGS I WRITE ABOUT. IT FITS MY PERSONALITY, I CAN'T SEEM TO FOCUS ON ONE THING FOR VERY LONG. WE ARE GETTING A NEW 47" TV, SOMETHING I HAVE WANTED FOR SOME TIME NOW, I CAN'T WAIT, BUT NOW IT'S MAJOR MOVE CRAP STUFF! LOT'S OF "STUFF" ON THE OLD ENTERTAINMENT CENTER TO FIND A NEW SPOT OR GET RID OF AND THAT MORE THAN LIKELY WON'T HAPPEN HERE. WE ARE BIG ON TV SO IT WILL BE WELL WORTH THE MONEY, AND OF COARSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A NEW PIECE OF FURNITURE TO PUT IT ON. ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW MICROWAVE (OLD ONE SHOT) 17 YRS. IT'S TIME WAS UP. SO NICE TO GET TAX RETURNS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE TIMES SQUARE NEWS, I TOLD MY HUSBAND IT WASN'T GOOD AND I WAS RIGHT!(ILOVE TO BE RIGHT EXCEPT ABOUT THESE THINGS) SO NOW I DO HAVE A RIGHT TO BE SCARED. HOW DO YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT OUR HOME LAND SECURITY?????

TIMES SQUARE....A SCARE??????

2010-05-02T20:56:00.000-05:00

I'M WONDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ALMOST BOMBING IN TIMES SQUARE. THINGS LIKE THIS SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME! MY HUSBAND SAYS....IT'S JUST SOME NUT THAT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. WELL MAYBE SO BUT UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT, WHERE ARE WE ALL SAFE? I GUESS WHEN YOU GET OLDER YOU REALIZE HOW SHORT LIFE REALLY IS AND VALUE EVERYDAY. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME OPINIONS ON WHAT YOU ALL OUT THERE THINK OF THIS HAPPENING IN THIS VERY BUSY AREA AND GOT AS FAR AS IT DID.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITES? SITCOMS? REALITY? COP SHOWS?

2010-04-20T20:44:00.001-05:00

I'VE GOT A FEW FAVORITES DURING THIS SUMMER, WE STILL TEND TO WATCH A FAIR AMOUNT OF TV, I GET OUT WHEN MY 2 YR OLD GREAT GRANDSON COMES 2 DAYS A WEEK, BUT OTHER THAN THAT I'M IN THE HOUSE, WHEN IT'S REALLY COLD I STAY IN AND KEEP WARM, WHEN IT'S HOT I STAY IN AND ENJOY THE COOL. MY HUSBAND IS OUT NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS.SO ONE OF MY FAVES THIS SUMMER IS PARENTHOOD, THE CAST IS GREAT AND THEY BLEND WELL, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED NCIS AND NOW I LOVE NCIS LOS ANGELES. THEN THERES LAW AND ORDER, THE MENTALIST, AND OF COARSE BULL RIDING. THAT'S AS FAR AS MY SPORTING GOES. DEADLIEST CATCH IS A WINNER, ALSO WATCH PICKERS, CRACKS ME UP BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE WITH ALL THEIR JUNK CAN HARDLY PART WITH ANY OF IT, (I'M KINDA LIKE THAT TOO). PRETTY SOON I WILL HAVE TO GET OUT AND PLANT SOME VEGGIES AND PERENNIALS, THEN WATER AND WAIT FOR THE WEEDS! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY NEW STORE: GARDENINGWITHMOLLY.COM REDUCED PRICES ON YARD FURNITURE, CHECK IT OUT.

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???

2010-04-15T16:05:00.001-05:00

WELL, I FIGURED IT OUT! THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME OUT THERE, BUT AS WE GET A TAD OLDER, IT REALLY DOES TAKE YOU LONGER TO GET THINGS DONE, FOR INSTANCE GETTING A 2 YEAR OLD READY TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, OMG I HAVE TO REALLY PLAN AHEAD IF I EVER WANT TO GET GOING AND GET BACK. FIRST YOU HAVE TO CATCH THEM, THEY ARE LIKE LITTLE GREASED PIGS SLIPPING AWAY AS SOON AS YOU CATCH THEM, NOW THEY DO LIKE TO GO TO THE STORE BUT THEY OF COARSE DON'T GET THE CONCEPT OF HOLDING STILL FOR CLOTHES AND GETTING GOING. THE ONLY THING REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT IS THE CALORIES I BURN TRYING TO GET THE JOB DONE. NOW I KNOW WHY I WAS SKINNY WHEN MY KIDS WERE LITTLE. I GUESS I'M JUST GLAD I'M HERE TO ENJOY THE LITTLE BUGGERS! WOW ONLY 4 HOURS TO GO BEFORE HIS BED TIME AND ANOTHER RACE FOR THE JAMMYS.

HEART ATTACK???

2010-04-05T18:57:00.000-05:00

MY WEEK HAS BEEN A VERY BUSY WEEK. MY HUSBAND HAD A ROUGH WEEK. HE WASN'T FEELING FEEL GOOD FRIDAY AND WENT INTO THE DR. THEY TOOK HIM TO THE HOSPITAL. HE SPENT 3 DAYS THERE AND REALLY STILL NOT SURE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS HIS HEART BUT TESTS SAID NO, SO MORE TESTS TO MAKE SURE. THIS SLOWED DOWN MY EASTER DINNER BUT NOT BY MUCH, HE CAME HOME JUST BEFORE THE MEAL AND WE WERE ALL HAPPY HE IS GOOD. WE JUST NEVER KNOW ESPECIALLY AS WE GET OLDER. WELL I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE A BAD SCARE LIKE THAT AGAIN. SO HOW WAS EVERYONES EASTER?

GREAT DAY AT THE CASINO!!!!!!!

2010-03-31T23:15:00.001-05:00

I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT I LOVE GOING TO THE CASINO (NO I'M NOT ADDICTED) JUST FEEL LIKE TOSSING MY MONEY AWAY SOME DAYS, IT'S FUN FOR ME, WELL ANYWAY TONIGHT I WON $280.00 ON A 2 CENT MACHINE. WOO HOO FOR ME, EASTER DINNER IS LOOKING GOOD NOW! A FEW EXTRA TREATS OR SWEETS. THE WEATHER HERE IN MINNESOTA IS AMAZING, NO ONE CAN BELIEVE WE HAVE OVER 70 DEGREES AT THE END OF MARCH, DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN AROUND HERE. WE WILL HAVE THE USUAL HERE, HAM MASHED POTATOES, CANDIED SWEET POTATOES, SOME KIND OF FRUIT SALAD AND A VEGGIE, AND OF COARSE LOT'S OF WAY OVER CALORIE DESSERTS. IT'S THE MINNESOTA WAY. EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND ENJOY THE WONDERFUL WEATHER.

NOT READY TO GIVE UP!

2010-03-20T15:54:00.000-05:00

I WAS THINKING OF GIVING UP ON MY ONLINE BUSINESS BUT DECIDED I HAVE TOO MUCH INVESTED IN IT. (gardeningwithmolly.com) TO START WITH I WENT TO A SEMINAR ON STARTING YOUR OWN ONLINE BUSINESS, WELL IF YOU REALLY KNEW HOW HARD IT IS FOR SOMEONE WHO ISN'T GREAT IN BUILDING A WEB SITE I THINK I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT STARTING. THE ONE THING I CAN SAY IS I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH NOW I THINK I COULD DO ANOTHER ONE. IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME AND IT'S NOT CHEAP! WELL I AM GETTING THERE AND GETTING SOME OF THE KINKS OUT. STOP AND TOUR MY STORE, IT ISN'T QUITE DONE YET BUT IT'S OPEN. HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

MY BORED HUSBAND

2010-03-08T16:02:00.000-06:00

Well the old boys 50 Ford is now finished, so he has nothing to do. On these days I wish I could interest him in cooking. He insists he needs to eat(can you imagine that?) I love to bake really fattening food, but you can't really live on that (or can you?) I can find things to do just going on the computer, between my business on line and Farmville, Farmtown, My Diner, on facebook, twitter, and of coarse my games, it's easy to spend many hours on line. I think I will have to find him another project that keeps him out in the garage, because he is very hard of hearing and it gets really noisy here with the tv on. I did get out to gamble last week, came home with $20.00. Better than nothing I guess, can't wait to go again. Watched the Oscars and my two favorites won, Jeff and Sandra, so very happy for them, they deserved an Oscar. Time to think about cooking so until next time. Be Safe!

confessions

2010-02-27T15:37:00.001-06:00

I AM TRYING TO FIND MORE SUBJECTS TO WRITE ABOUT ON MY BLOG. NOT MUCH GOING ON AROUND HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, SO I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS I ENJOY. FIRST OF ALL I AM A HUGE FAN OF BULL RIDING, THE PBR (PROF BULL RIDERS) I NEVER MISS ONE IF I CAN HELP IT, NOW I DO NOT KNOW ONE PERSON WHO LIKES THIS SPORT SO I'M ON MY OWN. IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT IS A FAN I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. ANOTHER ONE OF MY LOVES IS CASINO GAMBLING, LOVE THE SLOTS IN ANY DENOMINATION. I CAN'T GO VERY OFTEN BECAUSE OF THE MONEY PART BUT GO WHENEVER I CAN. SO I WILL BE GOING THIS NEXT WEEK AND HOPE TO WIN ENOUGH TO STAY PLAYING FOR A WHILE. MY HUSBAND IS NOT A BIG FAN OF GAMBLING SO I WILL GO WITH MY SISTER, SHE'S JUST AS CRAZY AS I AM ABOUT CASINOS. MAYBE MY NEXT POST WILL BE ABOUT WINNING MY FORTUNE HA HA! SO WISH ME LUCK!

IT'S NOT TOO EARLY

2010-02-16T20:27:00.000-06:00

AS WE ALL LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, THE LAST THING YOU CAN SEE IS FLOWERS GROWING OUT THERE. ALMOST EVERY STATE THIS WINTER HAS SNOW OR HAD SNOW.
BUT, IN A COUPLE MONTHS WE CAN THINK OF PLANTING FLOWERS OR VEGGIES OR MAYBE EVEN A FRUIT TREE. I AM GOING TO PLANT A PEAR TREE, YES EVEN HERE IN MINNESOTA THERE ARE PEAR TREES THAT GROW HERE. IN FACT IF YOU GO TO MY STORE,gardeningwithmolly.com YOU WILL FIND MANY PLANTS FLOWERS, TREES IN FULL COLOR TO LOOK AT AND THINK ABOUT WARM WEATHER, I ALSO HAVE GARDEN FURNITURE, WITH MANY ITEMS ON SALE NOW. SO LET'S GET TO DREAMING ABOUT THE NEXT SEASON IT WILL COME I PROMISE.

DEADLIEST CATCH

2010-02-10T16:20:00.000-06:00

MY HUSBAND AND I SAID, WHY ARE PEOPLE SO INTERESTED IN ALL THESE REALITY SHOWS? WELL WE FOUND OUT SOME OF THEM ARE VERY GOOD, THE DEADLIEST CATCH HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR FAVORITES, YOU GET TO KNOW THE FISHERMEN ON THE SHOWS LIKE PART OF YOU'RE LONG LOST RELATIVES. THAT'S HOW WE THOUGHT OF PHIL HARRIS ON THE CORNELIA MARIE, THE BOAT HE LOVED AND FISHED ON WITH HIS TWO SONS. SADLY TO SAY, PHIL PASSED ON FROM A HEART PROBLEM AND AFTER SURGERY. I KNOW WE WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH. THE NEXT SEASON WITHOUT HIM WILL NOT BE THE SAME. GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND EVERYONE THAT LOVED HIM.

BONNY HUNT VS THE VIEW

2010-01-27T18:15:00.000-06:00

I LOVE TALK SHOWS, MY FAVORITES ARE THE ELLEN SHOW AND NEXT THE BONNY HUNT SHOW, FOR LATE NIGHT I LOVE CRAIG FERGUSON. TODAY ON BONNY SHE SAID HER CONTRACT IS UP IN MAY.

RAIN IN THE WINTER

2010-01-24T12:24:00.000-06:00

Here in Minnesota it's not rare to rain in the winter...but usually not in January. This is the month we have our winter carnival, you know, ice sculptures, ice hockey games on the lake, they had to give up the hockey because of about 3" of rain on the ice, it was not a pretty sight! Walking around here get's to be a real challenge in the parking lot's at the stores. So far this season has been really bad for the whole world, so Minnesota weather isn't so bad compared to Haiti and California's weather. People laugh at our snow season but the worst we get up north here is snow and tornado's, not that tornado's aren't bad, we do get great warnings from the weather centers so we can prepare for the worst. Everyone say your prayers for Haiti, I can't imagine how horrible it is for them.

SUNDAY IN HUGO,MN.

2010-01-19T14:13:00.000-06:00

This is my daughters house, and horses. This has been her dream for many years, and now here it is, her Ranch with horses. I had to show you a picture of my husband with the horses, he visits them before he goes into the house.hmmmm, He must get a better greeting from them than he does coming home.We have been together 38 years and I still find out new things about him, like really loving those horses, and riding the tractor out there. I'm sure if we lived closer he would be there everyday. He brings the horses big candy mints, they know who loves them. Everyone had a great time out there on Christmas Eve, they had a big fire in the fire pit, you can see that picture on my blog page. Til next time have a safe 2010.

1950 FORD

2010-01-15T14:51:00.000-06:00

This is the main project around our house for about a year now. It's something my Bob has always wanted to do, restore an old 1950 Ford. It's looking really good here, but it needs a new motor, he finally got one that works after trying 4 of them. He wants everything original...Do you know how hard that can be finding a 60 year old engine that works? There is a plus with this, he has had lot's of friends over checking things out. And it has taken many cases of beer (for visitors) to keep things going. Bob has decided he would never do this again, he would buy one all finished. I can't wait for a ride, also it will be nice when I don't hear that we can't get that because I have to buy Ford parts. It has been interesting and mind bending for Bob. He says "I only hope to drive it before I die" He can be sooo negative sometimes, that's my Bob!!!

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

2010-01-11T17:45:00.002-06:00

THE OTHER DAY SOME OF (US OLDER WOMEN) WERE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE WRINGER WASHERS, GREEN STAMPS, WASH CLOTHES IN SOAP BOXES, THE KIDS AROUND US HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THINGS HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON COMPARED TO WAY BACK WHEN, BUT WAY BACK WE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY IT WAS. I SUPPOSE SOMEDAY THEY WILL BE TALKING LIKE US. IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE THAT IN THE FUTURE THERE WILL SO MUCH MORE IN TECHNOLIGY AND WAYS TO DO EVERYTHING EASIER AND FASTER. CAN YOU IMAGINE A TEEN IN THIS DAY ONLY GETTING A SHOWER ONCE A WEEK UNLESS YOU GET REALLY DIRTY, OR SHARING THE SAME BATH WATER WITH YOUR SIBLINGS, WELL THAT IS THE GOOD OLD DAYS, BUT I SURE LIKE THESE DAYS MUCH MORE. I ONLY HOPE THE NEW GENERATION CAN APPRECIATE HOW GOOD IT IS NOW. ANY C OMMENTS FROM ANYONE ON THIS SUBJECT? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM.

CHRISTMAS EVE

2009-12-27T20:43:00.000-06:00

Here we are in Hugo around the fire.

CHRISTMAS WAS GREAT!!!

2009-12-27T20:25:00.002-06:00

After worrying so much about spending Christmas Eve without my family, it turned out great! We left at noon and the roads were clear as ever. God bless the DNR they do such a wonderful job. We had fun and ate really well, Some of the family went out to have a snowball fight and build a fire in the fire pit, it was beautiful with the huge fire and big snowflakes falling. Christmas Day was a nice peaceful day doing nothing. Next is New Years Eve, that will also be very quiet around here, our party days are long over with.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

TRAVEL??? PROBABLY NOT IN MINNESOTA

2009-12-23T15:20:00.002-06:00

Here it is, one day before Christmas eve and the weather is getting bad already. I think everyone here is trying to decide should we keep our plans or just decide that this Christmas we won't all be together on Christmas Eve. I'm sitting here writing and getting very sad. This will be the first Christmas Eve that we haven't been together. So I'm hoping the weather guys are wrong again. This year will be the first time in many years that we will not be hosting on Christmas Eve. My daughter just bought a new bigger house and wanted to have it there, I was very excited about this new plan, but I don't think it will happen for us, we are 47 miles from her and in a beastly snow storm it won't be safe, so we will play it by ear and wait and see. I will update about all this when we know how the weather treats us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

FAVORITE BLOGS

2009-12-07T22:44:00.002-06:00

I have been reading lot's of Blogs lately and there are some really great one's out there. I tend to like the foody ones but I also have some I like that are very helpful. A couple of my favorite food one's are: All about cakes and Cinnamon spice and everything nice. The ones that really help me out are: Mikes blog marketing tips, and Doing business.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY

2009-11-28T22:02:00.002-06:00

Jingle all the way home with only jingling change in your pocket after a day shopping for Christmas, but I am missing the snow, yes I said snow! Lot's of people don't want it yet (or never) I love it, that's why I love Minnesota, great changing seasons. There is a problem about the Holiday's though....THE FATTENING WONDERFUL FOOD! I will start baking and eating and baking, my husband is now the Rosette Maker in this house, something I never dreamed he would do. One less thing for me to do so you rock Bob! And they are very tasty. The tree goes up tomorrow, and that makes it all real. If I could I would leave the tree up always because I love sitting at night here with the only light is coming from the tree. I'm wishing everyone a great and Happy Holiday...Peace be with you all.

ARE YOU READY????

2009-11-05T21:21:00.002-06:00

That question refers to all the Holidays coming up, especially Christmas. Well I did buy cards for the Holiday I figure I will get them done early, HA! Well maybe I will surprise myself and get it done. I think we only have about 40 days til Christmas, when I hear that it scares me. Soooo much to do and so little time. Well it's plenty of time if you're a fast mover and shaker, but for some reason as we get older it does take longer to do things, I'm not sure if it's because we don't have to go to work and we think we have tomorrow or we are just plain slower. Well anyway you look at it, I still love this time of the year and all the shopping and eating, and eating. All the yummy cookies and candies, the bright colors, the kids saying I WANT THAT when ever a advertisement comes on TV. I love that people take the time to get together to just be together and eat, drink and be merry, not too merry! I have lot's of planning to do so I will get moving on. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

MINNESOTA LADY

I can't believe the wonderful weather here in Minnesota, lot's of sunshine and warmth. We need rain but i'm sure it will get here sooner or later. Friday i'm going to the Como Park Zoo with a friend I use to work with, I can hardly wait, I haven't been over that way for quite a while. It's a wonderful Zoo, so if any of you get to Minnesota check it out. I have been learning so much from all you smart bloggers out there, lot's of great ideas to get things rolling and making this more interesting. I have seen so many beautiful Blogs I have to try and get mine more appealing. Keep up the good work out there helping us that need it. Have a great day!
