Pumpkin Patch @ Wells Hollow

OMG! Do puppie dogs get any cuter than this furrie baby? Personally, I don’t think so but surely I’m biased. So I really wanted to go to Jones Family Farm for our pumpkin picking this year but they don’t allow cute furry puppie dogs. Sounds like descrimination to me . . . HA! So we decided to go back to the farm we used last year (Wells Hollow) which was far more convenient anyhow being 2 miles from home and no unruley, screaming, cranky 2-legged children which is what we would’ve gotten at Jones Family Farm. I’ve decided that the BIG farms are over-rated mostly because our puppie isn’t allowed to experience them. We’ll see if I feel different with our 2-legged children. Anywhow, love this little family farm where we found this years perfect pumpkin. Mike said he wanted a tall skinny pumpkin this year so I pick one out and he says “that one? that’s huge and MUST cost alot of money!”. WHAT? This is a man having NO problem with top of the line Apple computers but a big expensive pumpkin???? Watch out bank account we’re about to purchase a pumpkin LOL.

So this is the picture taken a couple years ago when we unknowingly WENT to the big farm where they don’t allow our baby. Isn’t that sad? Scottie had to stay inside the car watching mommie pick his pumpkin. Sniff Sniff

Sunday Breakfast

We typically go out for breakfast Sunday mornings and it’s usually at the same spot, Captains Pizza #6.  I know most of you are wondering why we’d have breakfast at a pizza joint or further more why is a pizza joint even serving breakfast???  Well we wondered the same thing years ago but decided to give it a try and it wasn’t bad.  It’s close by our home, the service is quick and friendly and they always have specials.  Overhall is needed with their home fries . . . maybe I should give them some pointers?  Anywho, my all time favorite special is the wrap with egg whites, asparagus, onions and mushrooms.  And Michael gets his traditional bacon, eggs, home fries and toast.

Yes, this is a picture of my breakfast and yes, I decided to splurge this Sunday for the extra fat and calories.  Definitely NOT happy about doing that though.  Next time I’m getting the healthy wrap!

Pampered Chef Party

Pampered Chef

I’m hosting my first Pampered Chef party and it’s online.  How awesome is that to have the opportunity to purchase great kitchen supplies right from the comfort of your own home.  It’s quick and easy.

I’ve posted a picture of all the items I purchased from Pampered Chef in July of this year and here’s a little bit about each of them.  Mike and I have searched and used several hard cheese graters and haven’t found anything we liked until the Deluxe Cheese Grater came into our lives and is one of my favorites!  I was jumping with joy to learn they carry a product that will make my Walnut Christmas cookie making a breeze and it’s with their Mini-Tart Shaper.  OMG!!!! I can’t believe how much time this inexpensive extremely handy tool is going to make my life this winter WAHOOO!!!  I’ve also heard so many good things about Pampered Chef’s Stoneware so of course I had to get my very first pizza stone.  LOVE THIS ITEM TOO!!!  Not even sure how I survived pizza making without it.  And the Measure-All Cup is just fantastic especially for measuring ewwy gooey things like peanut butter.  It’s so easy and clean with this cup.  The pinch bowl set I earned free and really like having them.  Especially since fall/winter is almost here.  I do alot of crockpot cooking (you know night before work prepping of food) and these bowls work very nicely for this.

Thank you for stopping by and if you have any questions about any item Pampered Chef carries please let me know.  I’d really love for you to give one of their items a try . . . I’m certain you won’t be disappointed.  Party closes Saturday, September 20th.

Ha Choo

Mike and I were in the car on our way back home from dinner out.  We’re driving in the direction of the sun right in our eyes and this is how the conversation went from there.

Mike:  Thanks to the sun I’ve got to sneeze.

Mike:  HA CHOO

Me:  Bless you

Me:  Why did you thank the sun?

Mike:  Cuz it makes me sneeze, doesn’t it you?

Me:  Ahhhh . . . no dear, it’s just you.

Mike:  It makes my nose hairs stand on end which makes me sneeze

Me:  rolling eyes at strange husband

This picture of him cracks me up!  I was snapping pictures away just practicing for my class and I guess he got tired of the camera on him so he turns to me and makes that bugg-eyed face.  Weirdo!

No Drift No Fish

Fishing with Mike Malone for the first time this year, slow year. Tried New Haven break water with no drift for fluke but only caught small blue and a porgie. Then went out near the wreck off of Milford for blues and it is slow, slow enough to write this blog post.

After doing a WordPress 2.6 upgrade this weekend I found that an issue I have uploading images is focused to Macintosh. WordPress is a server side software application that runs this website.

There are several web post like these (assuming they are on macs)
