Baby in the Sink

I have fond memories of getting bathes in the kitchen sink. It would seem this little water bug
likes the idea of playing in the kitchen sink too. She was squealing with delight... They just don't getting cuter than this.

Noel

"Josh Groban" happened to stand out in my recent junk mail from Amazon. And I thought to myself, "maybe he has a new CD out!"

"Then what to my wondering eyes should behold" but a Christmas album entitled "Noel!"
Praise the Lord!


I've been saying for awhile Josh Groban should do a Christmas album. I even went so far -one time- to send that suggestion in on his website. Though I am sure I am not the only to suggest it.

At long last my hope has seen fruition! So when it is time to "tis the season" and start playing carols I plan on revealing in his melodic voice as he sings such all time favorites as: Ava Maria, What Child is this and The First Noel

Brown Shoes

Fall has always meant the beginning of school to me, and the beginning of school meant new crayons and new brown shoes.

These are last years shoes. I love them. The love the sound they make as clip clop around. I like the height they give me. They make me feel professional and classy. They make me think of school days. I had more to say believe it or not on how these shoes made me feel but I can't remember now 4 days later. I do remember it was about 8pm before they really started to hurt my feet so that is an improvement from last year!

Duty & Dentist

It's not often you get to go to jury duty and the dentist on the same day - 2 things that people "love" to do. Today, was my lucky day - I did both!

9am I reported for jury duty at the county courthouse. I was one of 75 potential jurors questioned for none other than a murder case! I sat with in feet of an accused murderer. Can you believe that? It freaked me out.

I didn't get picked - only 2 women were picked. It was an interesting experience to say the least and I could probably say more about it... I liked how you could give you stipend to a local charity. Rather than going to the bank to cash a check for $13. I was appalled at the number of people who dressed like they were going to the gym. This is professional atmosphere and your fulfilling a civic duty - for heavens sake come up with something better than sweatpants!

By 12:45pm the jury had been picked and I was on my merry way. I headed back to work where I had to hurry to catch up because I knew I need to get out in time to get to the dentist.
I'll admit I wished I had just not gone back to work.

I am glad to have had the experience... Jury duty is not like Law and Order. Real life is really slow!

Glad to report also my chompers are just fine!

Pumpkin Sorbet

It was an orange colored delight in a pumpkin bowl. It was a frosty pumpkin pie without a crust. It was scoop of heaven for lunch. It cleared the palate and had me searching the Internet for a recipe. Pumpkin sorbet nothing could be finer...

I haven't found a recipe that seems remotely like what we had but I will keep looking and I might even experiment.
