Pizza Pocket Pandemonium!

Note: This post was written on Tuesday, but is only now being posted because my goofy computer decided it didn't feel like working on Tuesday night. Sigh. But my dear friend, Brian Steiner, saved the day and coaxed my computer back into working condition. Thank you, Brian!!!

It's a regular old Tuesday night in July. The humidity is up. The rain is pouring down. And I'm looking for a bit of excitement! I thought through the possibilities of things to do...scrapbook pictures from vacation...wash my car in the rain...scrub the nasty calcium and lime buildup off of the bathroom tub. Sigh...but none of those suited a TUESDAY night. Those are more FRIDAY night activities. ;) Then I thought, what could be more fun than spending an evening with the most fun cousins in the world?!?!? Let's have a pizza and movie night!! :)

So Traci, Kaitlyn, Courtney, and Kent all came over to my place for the evening. And we made the most gigantic pizza pockets I think I've ever made in my life. (Kaitlyn had a special name for them that I was supposed to remember to use in this blog post, however, it's 11:30pm and I can't for the life of me remember what that was. Sorry Kaitlyn!!!) Anyway, here are some pics from our awesome Tuesday night P-A-R-T-Y!!!

Thanks for a fabulous night Traci, Kaitlyn, Courtney and Kent! I had a ball!! :)

Christmas 2013

Another Christmas has come and gone...why does it always go so fast?!?!? I was grateful to be off this Christmas so I could enjoy the day with my family. I kicked off the morning with my parents and a delicious pan of caramel french toast! YUM!!! Then, the rest of the family arrived and we enjoyed a feast of food before diving into all the presents that were under the tree. The kids were lots of fun to watch as the opened all their gifts...here are a few snapshots of the chaos fun... Cooper being his usual ornery self Lily Ann and her Mama Lily Ann and Ruthie opening presents Cooper is really getting into this present thing! Lily got a barbie! Luke was so funny...he opened one gift and then played with it for 30 minutes before returning to open another... I think he was saying, "Oh WOW!" in response to a toy that made noises...and then he would grab his cheeks in disbelief! :) It was hilarious! Cooper like...

Scutterbotch Pie

This is totally not on "the list" for this summer, but I've been wanting to try it for awhile, so I'm including it on the blog this week. When I was a kid, my absolute FAVORITE kind of pie was scutterbotch. Instead of birthday cakes, I would request scutterbotch pie. My Grandma Lane used to make it for me from time to time just because I loved it. My Mom made it for holidays and special occasions and it was oh so good!!! :) Life happened and I moved away and the scutterbotch pies came less often. I can't remember the last time I had a piece of scutterbotch pie. About a month or so ago, I wanted to make it for some reason...can't recall why. I didn't have the time then, but decided to give it a go today. It wasn't TOO terribly difficult, although, I resisted the urge to call my mom in the middle of my pie-making endeavor when I read "brown the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat" and thought to myself, "BROWN the BROWN...

An Addition to the Office

Today was a BEAUTIFUL fall day in Ohio and I was delighted to get to spend a few hours of it in Amish Country! The drive was gorgeous as all the trees have turned and the hills of Holmes County are now layered in shades of red, yellow, brown, and green. If I hadn't been driving, I would've snapped a few pictures to document the beauty of fall. Instead, I kept my eyes on the road and avoided several Amish buggies and a few folks on bikes and arrived safely home with this new addition to my office... My bookshelf has arrived!! :) It's beautiful and just begging me to fill it up with books from top to bottom! I hope to do just that the next time I have a few hours that aren't spent at work or with my nose in a book learning about health policy and politics. :/ So...maybe by Christmas... :)
