Not Working

I am editing these in Kodak Gallery and it does not seem to be working................any hints ladies....

I am TTTRYING TO get my pictures bigger without the blurrries.....

Forgive me here while I play.............................

I use Kodak Gallery and download directly to my computer from my camera. All the other blog sites pictures are clear and up close; so I am trying to get this figured out today. Let's see how did we do.

Old Treasures............

On our property is an old Dairy barn where cows we're milked. We have found a few treasures and I thought I would share this one with you. It says paintbrush for .14 cents and list other material. Besides these we have found an old baseball glove, an old wooded fruit crate, with a army jacket inside of it. I love treasure and trying to imagine the life they had.

I would also like to kick the boys that broke all the milk bottles that we're here. I still pick up big glass pieces where they busted the bottles out at the milk barn. Can you imagine busting old milk bottles. UGH............

I am trying to root this lavender. Does anyone know if it will work. I trimmed it heavily this summer and hoping for a good crop this year.

Speedy Mexican Beef Skillet Dinner

I I received three cheers with this recipe. So easy and good;

1 lb. ground beef, 1 can crm mshroom soup, 1 can Old El Paso Enchilda Sauce, 2 cups of tortilla chips crushed, 1 cups of shredded Cheddar Cheese.

Brown your ground beef ( I used a sausage it gave it a kick ). Pour off grease.

Stir in mshroom soup and enchilada sauce and both cups of crushed tortilla chips. Cook until bubbly. After it became bubbly I put cheese on the top and turned it off and let the cheese melt. WONDERFUL, YOU COULD PROBABLY MAKE THIS INTO A DIP.

***This recipe came out of the Pillsbury Hamburger cookbook.

Audrey Hepburn

Even though I am a blonde, I still love the elegance this lady protayed on the screen. She was just classy.

( don't you just hate it when you think you spelled all the words correctly and ooops......)

Little Works of Art

Here I have displayed my tags I ordered form Kelli at http://seasonaldelights.etsy.com/. I love the different colors and paper that she used. I need to make something to go in back of the hanger, so , I'll get to work on that. It needs a little something else. That's why I added my black boa. It is hanging under my beautiful new print of Audrey Hepburn.

Pa Some Tea......................Possum Tea

Ok, I'll set the scene for you. My sister and her grandson went shopping at Publix. She was saying, I need this and this and we need to go over her and get Pa some Tea. My 9 year old nephew ( great nephew ) just looked at her and she wondered why the confused look on his face. And then he said " Possum Tea". Pa wants Possum Tea. Then of course she busts out laughing and still can't quit. She called my neice, his momma; and she thought they we're in a wreck or something because she's laughing so hard she could not understand what she was saying.

So, if you need a good laugh; get you some "Possum Tea".

Treasured Chics

I love it when you get something in the mail. I ordered this adorable organization set http://www.tinkeredtreasures.etsy/ and she sent me an extra couple of goodies. These chics are so cute.

She even put my name on the laundry clips. How did she know I loved laundry clips.

Look what my Valentine bought met....

My Valentine ordered me a fainting couch for Valentine's Day. It has a swans head on the back bending down and folding back up. It is beautiful. He bought it for my blogging room; as he calls it. The blogging room is the picture you see up top. This is not our bedroom. I change this room on a montly basis. So, it has landed in the living room for know. I like it here. I had to add a throw and some pillows to allow it to match our "Rustic Americana" theme in our living room. I think it looks good. I don't know if my sons are going to let it go to my blogging room. Well see.

Does anyone collect recipes like this. I have a big folder that I have collected from all over of recipes. So, for February I started finally cooking from some of the recipes in the folder. I found one I have always wanted to try and it is called

" Cardamon Tea Cookies". The cardamon spice has a unique smell to it; strong yet inviting. So on I went to make cookies. Real simple recipe and the boys and hubby loved them.

So, I thought I will add some red food coloring to the cookies and make them pink. I didn't want to make the whole thing pink; so, I cut the color into the cookie dough.

Here is the end result. They turned out beautifully; even if it was by accident. Don't you just love accidents that turn out for the good. These cookies remind me of hybrid camilla flowers. So for your next tea; try a set of these. If you want the recipe, let me know and I'll email it to you.

and This wonderful pound cake..... this lady make all kinds of cakes; fishes, deer heads, and beautiful wedding cakes.

So while I was there I did buy a few things. I bought these little purses that we're $3.00 each.

When I asked this lady if I could take her picture; she immediately instructed the younger lady how to properly take a picture. She said, hold hand and put your pocketbook up front.

I asked this nice lady if I could snap her picture. She said sure; Doesn't she look fun. They we're having a ladies tea t 1:00 this day and you had to be in period dress. I think she was going. I would have loved to set down and talked with her over tea.

My favorite dress of all. Isn't she beautiful. I would love to have this dress and display it in my grrrly room.

The men marching off to the battlefield.

I would like to add these to my had collections.
