Phyllo/Filo Dough Class

Since Abby and I enjoy taking cooking classes together, we decided to find another that would be fun. So we took a class about using Phyllo/Filo dough. Osseo Community Ed has a great selection of classes. Last week we decided to experiment with some recipes.....



Phyllo/Filo Dough continues :)




Abby, Noelle, & I just played with the "dough." We learned not to over stuff our triangles and that cinnamon & sugar makes a great treat too!

Sewing fun!

Recently I decided that the grand-kids needed terry cloth robes - ya know how good it feels to wrap up in a towel after a shower or bath???? Well I thought this would be a fun project - do you think they will like them?

Grandchildren, Daughters, & Grandma


"For the most valued jewel of Grandma's is not a diamond or topaz,
But the precious little child that her child now has."

--- from the poem Grandmothers Are To Love



Danielle & Paul have two children - Natalie 5 years old & John 2 and a half. Noelle also has two children - Lauren is nearly 3 years old and Elijah is 17 months.

Me and the big kids!

Mother's Day is always special when I can spend time with our kids. They were all over to celebrate their Dad's birthday as well as Mom's Day. Danielle, Blair, Noelle, & Abby - what a great bunch of adults - Jeff & I have been blessed in so many ways!

Mother's Day 2010



Jeff & I spent sometime with our "Mom's" during this special weekend. Each day we have with them is a gift. They are both 88 years old!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

To My Dear Husband

Yours is the smile I look forward to each morning,
and yours is the is the voice I love to hear throughout the day.
Yours is the touch that can reach my heart and soul, and it is your understanding that so often calms my doubts and fears.....
Yours are the plans and dreams that blend with mine, becoming ours, and yours is the love that means the world to me.
My life would be so different if you weren't a part of it, and that is why no one has more to celebrate today than I do.....
Happy Birthday to my husband, my soul mate, my very best friend....
