Odds and Ends


After someone, who shall remain nameless, wiped out my microsoft office I had to resort to using daughter's laptop that had a trial version of office 2010. I had the women's club newsletter to type and get printed and realized that to use my printer on my desk I had to put the laptop on the floor under the desk because that was as far as the cord would reach! I had a lot of fun lying on the floor trying to get the printer set up on it!
We hadn't been to the lake house in almost two months, so we decided that we would head up on Saturday morning. I let everyone know that I wanted to pull out of the driveway at 11:00 am! The car dealership where husband bought his car will wash and vacuum your car for free on Saturdays, so he decides to head over for a quick cleanup! Instead of getting his car cleaned, he came home with a new one! We didn't leave for the lake until 3:00. But, I do like his new car!
Teenage son is taking a home ec. class as an elective this year and they made cookies on Thursday. He decided that he wanted to make them again for us and I took the supplies to the lake for him.


What was left of his finished product!

He made a maple icing for his cutout sugar cookies and they were really good! All I had to bring them home in was an almost empty Krispy Creme box (there is one chocolate glazed doughtnut in the photo!)
My parents are coming down to their beach house on Tuesday and mom's birthday is Saturday, so I guess we had better plan a little celebration for her. I am thinking some cupcakes from the local cupcake shop!
Happy November!

  1. Surprised they still teach home ec! My youngest son loves helping me cook or bake. I plan to really teach him so he's prepared when he's on his own...in what seems like a trillion years. Glad you had a fun weekend.
