Poem

My son had an assignment in school that required him to write 9 poems for class. He asked me to read them sometime and when I did I got a wonderful surprise. He wrote one of the poems about me. I just have to share it. He did a wonderful job on it.


MOM
My mom is cool
She swims in a pool
She loves me so
At least I think so
Just kidding she loves me
She loves me with glee
She always makes me happy
Even when she’s all sappy
She always knows what to say
She always says it on the right day
My mom is the very best
Even though she doesn’t wear a vest
She always knew what to do
Even when I was two
Even though she may be old
She’s still good as gold
I love my mom
She is the bomb

Another Night at Group

I went to another group meeting last night.I had a very good time. We made collages of who we are. I want to post mine and explain it so I can come back and see it and remember this good group meeting.

My Collage

The adult with a kid inside him is how I feel about myself. I always feel that I am a scared little kid inside and adult body. I chose a Gecko because I love frogs and I couldn't find a frog in the magazines so I figured he would do...lol. Plus he is a cute little guy. This is a picture of pumpkin bread. Those who know me know that I bake a lot of pumpkin bread. Coolaid is my nick name. My brother gave me this name after seeing me in a bright red shirt. He said I looked like the Koolaid man...lol.

I have had the name ever since. This is a picture of potatoes. I love potatoes. I Love potato soup, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, tater tots, french fries, hash browns. If it is made with potatoes I would eat it. I love kids. I use to watch kids and I miss it. Kids can be so much fun to be around. They keep you on your toes..lol This shows some pictures and a camera because I love to take pictures. I am told all the time that I take to many pictures but I cant help it, I like doing it. These next two pictures are of the beach and a light house. I took a trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina two years ago. I loved it there and I had a great time. I got to see a light house up close and it is one of my greatest memories of going. This picture is a guy in a costume. My friends like to cox me into putting on funny hats. I dress up for Halloween and once my friends put a jack-o-lantern face on my T-shirt and I walked around all day with it on. The Blue and white clock was the only thing I could find that was blue and white. I love to collect blue and white things.

They are so beautiful. This last one is of a smiley face. I love to smile. This is pretty much what I could come up with in that short little bit if time in group.

Random Stuff

Here are some more random picture I have taken.

I was on a trip to Kentucky and caught this wonderful picture.

I saw this sign every time I traveled to Kentucky and I finally got a good picture of it.

Every time I would see it I would giggle.

One night my son and husband came home and they ran in and said grab your camera.
I came out and found a tree frog on my house .



I went to the Clabber Girl Museum with my mother.

This is a mural on the wall there.

On the same trip my Mother and I were walking and saw this plaque.

I liked what it said so I took the picture so I could remember it.

My friend Michelle went to see the ocean and send me this box in the mail.

When I opened the box I found a frog in sand.

I love it and it stays on my desk so i cant see it all the timeMy friend Beth came in one day and again I am told to grab my camera.

Outside was the biggest moth any of us had seen.

If you can see her, my cat is on the fence trying to get it

It was a pretty good size moth. I have never seen one that big before.

Meat Loaf :-)

Large Meatloaf

Ingredients:

4 pounds ground beef

1 box crackers, containing 4 small packages in it

3 eggs

ketchup

6 cans sliced or whole potatoes

2 cans carrots

salt and pepper

~~~~~~~~~~


Place ground beef in and bowl.

Crush crackers and place in bowl.

Add eggs
Mix all together

It will not look pretty at first...lol

Form into a ball and place into pan

Form into a loaf shape
Pour potatoes and carrots (not drained) all around.
If you don't like the canned ,you can slice potatoes and carrots yourself, but add water to the pan.
I would estimate about 4 cups of water


Salt and pepper as you desire.
Cook in oven for about an hour at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven and slice in half.
This will help the center cook faster
Add ketchup to the top
Place back in over for another hour.


~~~~~~~~~

This make a very large meat loaf.
It feed the 3 of us and then I have some that my Husband takes for lunch. I then have a large bowl left to eat from for a couple of days. The leftovers can be divided into small lunch size portions and froze for use at a later time.
