Randy had two pork chops, potatoes with brown gravy, and veggies.
Curt had salad, and beef tips, and mashed potatoes.
Theresa had a magarita, steak and sweet potato with marshmallows and syrup.

Tuesday's are my grandmother's night to cook dinner. This week, we all were there. We tried to go to this place, but they were closed! lol

So we went to the same resturant as last week, we even got the same server and she remembered us!!

Gramma's turn to cook- she took us out for dinner. Randy was sick (a whole other story) so he didn't attend. My mother actually wanted to get dessert! It was fresh strawberry torte! Grandma cut the piece into 4 pieces. We each had a section. The last section sat there - gramma and I had to finish it. Bonus photo that my gramma is actually smiling!!!!!!

Looking at getting new furniture. The stuff we have now is falling apart. The couch and love seat that we have gets used everyday. My grandmother bought the set for us. The sofa has two recliners, but is very uncomfortable if you need to sleep across it.

July 22nd


This is the wasp nest-- or some winged creature that decided to make its home in my front bush. No wonder Randy got stung by a bee (or whatever lived there.)

July 21st


I went out to luch with my friend Phyllis and her granddaughter- who was my student this year.

July 20th


This is my dentist's office.

I made caramel puff corn. The regular puff corn is addicting - this is just as bad!

So in addition to my 365 challenge of taking a photo each and every day. I also resolved to make at least one new recipe a month. This is one of those recipes :)

Randy went to the clinic because he didn't feel good. They tested for the Swine Flu - so they made him put on a mask! He started coughing on purpose- so they brought him back sooner ranter than later lol

The back of my truck. We are on our way to Egg Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin. We brought along Randy's high school buddy, Curtis and his new wife, Theresa. I wasn't sure that Randy was going to allow Curt to bring that Packer's duffle bag. We brought CJ along. Tank stayed home and Skylar went to Uncle Jerome's.

I played the song Katalina Matalina for my 6th graders. The song gives a description of what this lady looks like. This was two student's take on what she looked like.
