Spring?! Well Almost




The last few days were picture perfect, but we all know its not over yet even thou the flowers and people are coming back to life.

I took this picture of the Clock Tower around the corner from where i live and it actually does Chime on the hour, i don't know about on the half hour, it was chiming 3 o'clock as i took the picture and i didnt even plan it that way, still snow on the ground a few weeks ago and i have a friend, "believe it or not" , i do have friends, but they are all spread out all over the United States now, but she brought me cheer when she sent the picture of the Mini Wild Roses that grow in her backyard in Houston, TX., and of course our wonderful Goodyear Blimp that tools around like no care in the world which would be what i want to have "no cares".

Well, back to the world of the literally blue collar working atmosphere tomorrow, doom and gloom it is. I actually came into the Postal World 13 years ago on St Patrick's Day!!

Nostalgia


okkkkk Oz Girl here we goooo on the barfly days and whoever else can relate to that atmosphere, we wont bring all of our nostalgia out of the closet thou, we want everyone to remember how their evenings were spent if weeee can remember, LOL!!

Fiesta Party


On Friday's most people are looking forward to a movie or even a dinner out, or even maybe meeting up with acquaintance's and ending up being a barfly, LOL!! Well Friday evening rolled around and the significant other decides HE wants to go and instead of a Home Improvement Project Store, he wanted to attend the Home and Garden Show downtown, sooooo on that note okkkk who wouldnt want to go, it's cheap and you really dont have to buy anything if you dont want to. I have been wanting to buy some Fiesta Party Dip Mix and Tastefullysimple had a booth set up, so for a 5.5 oz bottle that will last a pretty long time, I bought it, okkk so its kinda pricey $10.00 and (i know it's not LAWSON's chip dip) but if thats what you are wanting, buy it, right? The recipe is quick too, but you have to wait till you get your bottle of Fiesta Party Dip Mix, so go on over to www.tastefullysimple.com and order who knows what else you may find that strikes your fancy, it calls for 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp of party dip mix
1/4 c. mayonnaise
3/4 c. sour cream
mix well, chill 2 hours
makes 1 Cup of dip

If you would rather try it in a different way add to your soups, sauces, or marinades

"Going On Five"





what a difference life from bungalow residential to colonial and ONLY 1 acre can do for person, and being able to just have some room to breathe on your own without someone knowing all your homelife business, even though i know some of our neighbors have their noses pushed up against the window to see what we are in the midst of creating. This was a long time small dream to be in the somewhat wide open land of old farm made into new. If you are wondering what "Going On Five" means well it is how long we have lived in this township.

When weather permits i visit the alpaca farm behind otherwise i can look at them thru the patio doors but it is always more fun to see them in action up close.

Automobile Updates

Well after a full day of work and asking to take a vacation day before i even started and then turned down with all the several inches of snow finally starting to melt, the roads turn icey, hmmm. Taking extreme caution on my way home from USPS the black ice took over my vehicle :( and the license plate did not take a beating after landing in the ditch, not as bad as it could have been and yeah i am ok!! a few bumps on the head never hurt anyone.
