Letters Home



My mom has a whole box full of letters my Grandpa wrote home to his parents during WWII. He was a marine stationed in the South Pacific. I wish we had a box that he wrote to my Grandma but apparently out of all the little scraps of paper Grandma did save (most of them poked in her cookbooks) she did not save the letters Grandpa wrote her. That or they were lost somehow. At least these survived. This is only a picture of a couple of them. In one of the letters he talked about sleeping with rats on top of him. He couldn't say much about the island where he was stationed because the censors wouldn't let them. I did find it funny that in one letter he was talking about how my grandma wasn't much for telling people what she thinks. HA! That may have been the funniest thing I've ever read! If she was ever like that, she certainly got over it!

I may have to make my way through this box now that I have a lot of spare time on my hands.

He's Wicked Smart!



The Boy is too smart for his old Oma. She was trying to hide from him today since he will be spending the night with her tonight. He often calls and wants to go over to her house and she has a hard time telling him no. Today when he called he asked to come over to her house and she told him he couldn't because she was at the office. He said, "But I called your home phone number!"

Silence followed by a stuttering response.

I was cracking up. Don't lie to The Boy...he may be smarter than you think!

Speaking of The Boy...I started another blog with my scrapbook pages on it. He is my subject, ya know! You can find it under Wendy's Pages listed at the top of the page in my sidebar or just click on this link. I don't have a lot of them on there yet, but I have a few. Just something else for me to mess with.

Happy Rockin' New Year!

Let me start by saying that everyone was warned that I was taking pictures for the blog. With that said I give you some of the pictures from our New Year's Eve party at Angi's. I am calling it ours because I took her place in the kitchen that night preparing all the food with Ryan. Ang had to work late so I stepped up and helped her out...I just roll like that!



This is a terrible picture of me. The ones with Jen in the tub with us were even worse of me so sorry Jen...I'm putting this one up. I have decided I should not ever be photographed...ever! The picturew as taken before I could fix my hair...just want to go on record with that! Anyway, these are the girls in the tub. Why? I don't know...probably because they all found me in the bathroom trying to iron the crease out of my hair from where I took it down. I've decided ironing ALL of my hair is not a good look for me. It was an enlightening night.

Redeeming picture after hair was fixed...



Glad I wasn't in on this...



Shots of Tequila...not for beginners! For the record, I did not do any shots. I guess I was partying like a hotdog instead of rockstar. I just wasn't in the mood. Cabana Boy Specials were enough for me for the evening.








A little Dance Dance Revolution was followed by Pop Star, Guitar Hero, and finally Rockband. Can you tell the party had a real theme going on?



Check out the rocker hair?!?! I have a lot more pictures but I am to tired to put them on here. There was a lot of Playstation and XBox being played. There were many phone calls to the 12 year old in the house behind us to figure out how to hook up the XBox. There was spilled beer on the carpet and one incident where the telephone bounced off the ceiling and rained down in pieces. There was some drama and a lot of hilarity...mostly provided by one person named Jason. (The hilarity...not the drama, I won't talk about that on here.) There was too much food and plenty of drink. At midnight there was kissing, but I wasn't involved in that. There could have been a free trip to Vegas today but no one took the offer. All in all, it was a good evening.

When the phone started ringing off the hook around midnight Jason took it upon himself to answer it...like it or not. He answered a different way everytime. My favorite was HOUSE OF BOOTY, THIS IS CUTIE. I think I will answer my phone that way from now on. Just has a certain ring to it.

I spent the entire day at home today. Did some laundry, cooked for the kiddo and Grammy, called Kelly (finally), and messed with the camera all day. It snowed pretty much all day and is supposed to snow more. That could mean more silly photos of Angi and Wendy trying to look glamorous while sledding with their children.

On tomorrow's agenda...finalizing the plans for the big birthday bash for The Boy!

(For those of you who know you will be invited...save the date! January 19th at 2:30 if that time is available. Mark it on your calendar...stick up a post it note...write it on your forehead with a Sharpie, I don't care, but don't forget! I'm not taking any excuses for not showing up this year because I have given more than a month's notice!)

Would You Like to Buy a Pizza for My School?




I took this evil looking child to the park yesterday. Oma and Grammy went with us but Grammy doesn't walk well and Oma had thrown her back out so it was just the kiddo and the Mommy playing. We took a walk down by the river so Jayke could throw rocks in the water and Mommy could try to teach him how to skip them. I don't think he is ready for that quite yet. It was supposed to be our last nice day for a while so we wanted to get a day at the park in.

I was surprised at how easily The Boy climbed up the rock wall. He has never done it before that I know of but he went right up the thing like it was nothing. This park has great walking trails and they have installed exercise stations along the path since I was there last. Angi and I have plans to start using it. Notice I said we have plans...not that we have done it or anything. All we manage to do is walk around department stores so far. Still exercise in my book!



He climbed right to the top of this thing too...




I have a modem now so I can get hooked up to high speed internet. It has been sitting in the bedroom all week. As you can see, I jumped right on that. Maybe I will get around to that tonight. I have been doing my scrapbooks instead of blogging. I'm officially addicted! I did remeber to charge my camera battery though so now I can start taking pictures with it again instead of my phone. I'm getting tired of texting the pictures to my email account and waiting to check it when I'm at my mom's. You can see why I don't blog as often...PITA.

I had my first parent/teacher conference. Jayke has only been going to that school for 2 weeks so I didn't know what we could have to confer about but I went any way. Just as I suspected she wanted to talk about his sereration anxiety. He has it really bad when I drop him off but he also is having it when any of the teachers leave the classroom. That was on Monday. He had school on Tuesday and again today. By today he had already gotten over it. He didn't cry at all today. He was so proud of himself too. I think we are over the hump with that now.

Another first for Jayke is he is selling things for his school fundraiser. I probably wouldn't have even bothered but they are offering money off tuition for the top 3 sellers. Yeah, they just had to go and make it a competition so you know I'm all over that. I have a list of people to hit up. We have made it to a few houses so far and everyone has been generous with their orders. Tomorrow I'm taking him to my dad's to sell him some pizzas and over Thanksgiving he can hit his dad up too. I taught him to go up to the doors and give his sales pitch. It is the cutest thing ever watching my kid hock over priced frozen goods to our unsuspecting friends and family. Brings a tear to my eye. I reminded Angi of all the pies, mums, and candles I have bought from her kids over the years before ringing her doorbell. Must have worked she bought a couple of things. We are so gonna win this thing!

Love It!



Do ya'll have one of these yet? (Yes, I said ya'll...get over it) It is The Redbox, and I love it! It is a kiosk where you can rent movies for $1. New Release movies even. Now I know my friends in Muncie are all looking at this saying, "We've had those for months." Yes, I know you have, but we have not. We do now though! My favorite grocery store just put one in. I would like to think this was in direct response to the email I sent the good folks over at the Redbox hub, but since they didn't put it at the McDonalds I requested, I kind of doubt it.

Anyhoo, this little puppy is going to put movie rental stores out of business. Not only is it located in very easily accessible locations such as McDonalds restaurants and grocery stores butit is in only $1 for any movie including new releases! There are no membership cards, no paperwork to fill out, nothing. You do have to have them back the next day though. No problem for me. I only rent a movie if I plan to watch it that night. You can go to their website and give them their email address and get a free rental too. I got my freebie tonight.

If you don't have one of these in your local grocery store or Mickey D's parking lot send them an email. I did! 3 weeks later their was a Redbox in my grocery store only 3 miles from the location I requested...and yes, I am totally taking credit for it being there. I should get a commission because I have been there twice and business is boomin'! I have some other suggestions of where there needs to be a Redbox, maybe I should write some more emails. Target stores would be a great spot. A Redbox movie kiosk to match the red bullseye! What could be better? Hey Redbox people, you listening?

Okay, I have to go cancel my Netflix membership now. If you have seen any good movies lately let me know so I can go get them from the Redbox.

Do You Know The Muffin Man, The Muffin Man, The Muffin Man...



The Bloomberry Muffin has been found! Well, at least a few crumbs of it were found. On July 18th the Greenville News reported that Bloom grocery's 200lb plastic muffin had been stolen! The picture above is the muffin as used in Bloom's advertising before it went missing.

This story has amused me ever since I first heard it. Especially since everytime I walk into the grocery the missing muffin sign greets me. They were offering a $100 reward for the safe return of their sacred muffin. I think a 4'X6', 200lb plastic muffin would be a little hard to hide, but unfortunately, they were too late to save the poor Bloomberry muffin. His charred remains were found Wednesday.


I'm waiting to hear when services will be held. sniff

Kudzu...It's Not Just For Breakfast Anymore

In Georgia, the legend says
That you must close your windows
At night to keep it out of the house.
The glass is tinged with green, even so...

From the poem, "Kudzu,"
by James Dickey




I first took notice of this vine when we were driving to South Carolina from the Atlanta airport to begin searching for a house. We were moving from Indiana to either Georgia or South Carolina, we hadn't decided yet. Driving along I85, heading north I saw fields and fields of this vine literally eating forests, telephone poles, signage, and anything else it could grasp ahold of. I know from reading about it that people have a love/hate relationship with Kudzu in the South. They either love it or hate it. Personally I think it is beautiful. It makes forests along the interstate look like tropical jungles. I try not to think how it is killing the trees it is climbing and just enjoy the view.

I took this picture along I85 somewhere between Atlanta and Anderson, South Carolina...




Kudzu is a native vine of Japan and China. It was brought to the US in 1876 as an ornamental plant. later, it was used to prevent erosion along roads and highways. It grows approximately 1 foot a day and is almost impossible to kill. Livestock like to eat it, it has culinary uses and even medicinal uses. In 1972 it was declared a weed and now has been a nuisance to southerners.

It hasn't bothered me yet but then again, I don't have it growing in my yard. I hope I never do! I will admire it from afar.


Here is a house in Seneca, South Carolina covered by Kudzu. You can see lots of other pictures like this at Jack Anthony's website.

There is a history and whole list of websites with uses for Kudzu at this website if you would like to learn more or see more pictures. I just thought I'd try to edumacate you Yankees who read this. If ya come down to visit I might even fry some up for y'all!

Good Books

Occasionally I like to write a blog entry about what I'm reading or some product that makes my life easier for those who read this who don't care what my kid is doing. Today I'm in the mood to write one of those posts.

When I moved to South Carolina a little over a year ago I was obsessed with all things Southern. So much so that I even found myself at the Jockey Lot of all places. The Jockey Lot is a huge flea market. Something I have tried to avoid most of my married life. The hubs loves a good flea market and even better, an auction. He likes to try to drag me to these events occasionally, knowing it isn't my thing. I have to admit though, if it hadn't been 30 degrees hotter than hades out there I may have liked The Jockey Lot. Maybe we should check it out in the fall, but I digress.

In my quest for anything Southern I was turned onto Mary Kay Andrews by my mother. She is an author who writes comedic books about the south for women. (Mary Kay Andrews, not my mother.) I supposed a man might read them too but I think her main audience is women. I loved that the books were mainly set in the Charleston area of South Carolina, Savannah, and Atlanta with a little Tybee Island thrown in for good measure. Her descriptions of antique hunting always makes me want to run right out to an estate sale. I learned what that pesky vine called Kudzu, growing all over the place is from reading her books. They are about as Southern as you can get. My only complaint is that there aren't enough of them!

I've read all but two of her books. One of which I am reading right now. Blue Christmas.

One of my favorite things about her books is she uses the same characters but in different stories. I like to be able to follow a character through more than one book. I think that is why I have put off reading these last two until now, because I know there isn't another one yet to follow them up. I did, however, find something to tide me over until she writes another tale of Weezy and Bebe's adventures. Mary Kay Andrew's blog, appropriately titled The Kudzu Telegraph . Check it out! And, if you love books about The South, read hers. You will be hooked!

It is in My Google Ads

I know i've already posted today but I was just reading my ads over <--- there in the sidebar and noticed an ad for an auction. Normally this would not have caught my attention but today it did. Today it was an ad for this property...



We saw it from the boat yesterday. The bidding is expected to begin around 1.2 million dollars. This is an orginal homestead house with everything orginal still in it from the 1800s. The ad is for Auction:Lake Keowee property. I hope the ad is there when you read this since they change periodically. There is a virtual tour of the house available on the website. So if ya want to check it out go click on the ad over there <--- (and down) to check it out! Finally Google crawled my site and put an ad that is something local. Interesting.

I have pictures of our trip to Abbeville which I will post later and another funny about Jayke. I have heard that my Colorado readers, (my aunt, and cousins) are going around quoting the boy by using his "Bwain" phrase. Funny stuff.

THANKS TO KATIE FOR SENDING ME MORE COKE CODES! YOUR THE BESTEST!

Random Thoughts Spewing All Over

I have been one giant ball of snot all weekend. Lovely visual, huh? I think I am on the mend now though. I slept in until 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Yeah, you heard me right. I didn't get to bed until 6 a.m. the night/morning before. Insomnia decided to join the snot-inducing critters who invaded my body and they were up late partying. The hubs kept The Boy out of the room and quite after the horrible day I had on Friday.

With Jayke and I both sick and home alone together ALL day (Mike worked late)we ended up having a terrible day. I was told that I was a Big Poopy, he didn't like me and he also poked me in the eye. He also told me that, "His Bwain tells him to be mean to Mommy!" I'm thinking we need to get out of the house for a while. Good thing Oma and Opa will be here on Wednesday!

Opa called today and had me look into making reservations at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta for while they are here. I am stoked about that! I have been wanting to go there since we moved here. I think we are going to meet up with his sister and parents, who live in Atlanta, have lunch then hit the aquarium in the afternoon after the crowd starts to thin out. Anyone been there and have some good tips for me? I think we are going to see the 3D Deepo show while we are there too. I heard it is good. I've been watching all the videos on the website and I can't wait to go!

I have a tentative schedule made out for while the grandparents are here. So far I have 5 days filled. I'm trying to leave a few open for spontaneous activities such as the excitement filled game of croquet we had last time they visited. I'm thinking of getting a Hillbilly Ball game, aka ladder ball. Ang's son, Matthew, dubbed it that and I think it is a very appropriate name for the game so I'm going with it. So what are the things I have planned you ask? Well, we are taking Jayke to Monkey Joe's on Thursday and then I want to take them to Falls Park to show them the waterfall. They have been to Greenville but when we were there with them we didn't know about the falls so I'm taking them back. On Saturday I want to go to Abbeville. Cute little historical town about 20 minutes south of us. Mom wants to go there too so that is on the list. The next week, is our boat day on Monday and the aquarium on Wednesday. I'm sure I will get something else penciled in somewhere, there are tons of things I want to do. Maybe a trip up to The Biltmore or something like that.

I just heard on the news that people were stuck in the arch in Missouri for over two hours today. I remember going up in that thing when I was pregnant. I am not the type of person to be claustrophobic but riding up and back down in that tiny capsule thing was too much for me. It was all I could do to not freak out. It probably would have been better if they hadn't crammed another couple in with us. The entire time I was thinking what if we got stuck, what if we got stuck? Well, some unlucky person did and I feel bad for them. I don't know why I felt I needed to talk about that...I guess that is what happens when you have been sick and on too much cold medication. Random crap just spews out of my head onto the keyboard. I need to make a list. Things You Don't Want to do While Pregnant:

Go to Las Vegas (while 6 months pregnant with feet the size of melons)
Go to the St Louis Zoo(in the rain in October while 6 months preggers)
Go up in the arch in St. Louis
Run down the street chasing 7 dogs who have escaped. (I'm sure Angi agrees with me here!)
All dumb things I did while pregnant and regretted immediately. I'm sure there were plenty of others but that is all that comes to mind right now.

Speaking of random...Here is how The Boy finally conked out this afternoon.



He is asleep on the foot rest part of the recliner in between his dad's legs. He is also holding a back scratcher. I'm going to make a montage of all the pictures I have of him sleeping in random places and positions around the house. It amazes me sometimes. Especially when I can't fall asleep for anything laying in my comfy bed with my two down pillows and my old quilt that has been washed just the right amount of times to make it perfect. My blanky. My sister actually offered me $180 for my blanky and I turned her down. That is how much I LOVE it. I don't know which one of us is crazier...her for offering that much for an old quilt or me for turning that much down. Anyway...more random tidbits from my over medicated, sleep deprived brain. I will stop now.

Love Free Stuff!

I have a sick kid. I suppose this means I will be sick next. It isn't anything too bad, just a yucky summer cold. Keeps him up at night though. Keeps him up, his dad up, and keeps me up.

Since Jayke is not feeling well we haven't done anything so I don't have anything to talk about. I've been busy cleaning out closets and cabinets. Trying to get more organized. Seems like that just makes a mess somewhere else though.

I am looking forward to receiving my next reward from Coke. I do the Coke Rewards and have gotten a couple of great rewards. AT least I am excited about them! My first one was a memory book. Normally this is $40 from the Kodak website, however, you can get it for free along with many of the other items from Kodak through the rewards program. My second reward I just ordered is a 20x30 poster of one of my pictures. I used the one of Jayke with his helmet on when he was learning to ride his scooter. I ordered it in black and white and I'm going to do an entire wall of black and white poster size pictures going down the basement stairs. I can't wait for it to get here!

I added Adsense to my blog. I have heard that some people make a lot of money from it so I decided to try it out. I earn money everytime someone clicks an ad on my blog so if you feel like it click one of my ads in my sidebar. I will do the same for you if you have Adsense on your blog. I don't want to beg or anything, but PLEASE click my ad...I need money for Cabo! Okay, enough of that. I hear the dryer calling me.

Puff The Fireworks Dragon


Everyone puts pictures of the strange things they see along the road where they live or on trips they are taking. I have seen this guy many times but never had the camera or didn't want to take the time to stop. Driving to Indiana this time Jayke wanted to take his picture so we stopped. The Boy is learning from me about taking pictures all over the place and of strange things.

This dragon is outside a fireworks store along the highway in Tennessee.

Cider

I posted the other day that I was having a Cider adult beverage and now I have people asking me what it is. I didn't know what it was until I read about it on Katie's" blog. After the day I had had I thought I would try it. My grocery has one of those coolers where you can mix and match to make your own six pack so I grabbed different ciders to try. They are pretty good! I can see where drinking a lot of it would make me sick though. I hardly ever drink so I have to take it easy. Good thing for Mike is I'm a cheap drunk. Two drinks and I am pretty much at my limit! Lightweight, yes.So here is the definition I got off of the Wikipedia website for cider. There are a lot of different kinds. I have only tried the apple so far. Haven't found any pear cider yet, but I'm still looking.
Cider (or cyder) is an alcoholic beverage made primarily from the juices of specially grown varieties of apples and pears. In most places in the world, the term refers to fermented apple juice and pear juice, but the drink is known as hard cider or ciderjack in the United States and parts of Canada, where the term "cider" almost exclusively refers to non-alcoholic apple cider.
Cider generally has a stronger alcoholic content than typical beer, usually over 5%, and appears golden yellow and often cloudy. To produce cider, apples are washed and mashed, pressed (usually in a stone mill or hydraulic press), then fermented in oak vats using natural or added yeasts.

Click the link above if you want to read the rest of the definition. Hope that answers any questions.

Old and Southern...Love it!

One of the many things I love about The South is the history. I love driving around and finding old antebellum homes to take pictures of. I found this one in downtown Anderson the other day. It is called The Wilhite House and was built in 1885. It is available for weddings, receptions, etc.




here is another view...



This one is not as old as some others we have seen but still old and southern. I told AJ I would start taking some pictures of old homes to show her so here ya go, AJ!

Look Again!




Today's SPF assignment is "Holy". At first I thought I wouldn't play because I was gone all day and didn't even find out what it was until 11p.m. tonight, but then I was looking through the pictures I took today and I found one I could use. When you see the picture you may say something like, "Holy crap, how is that thing still alive?" or "Holy crap, that doesn't even look real!". Believe me folks it is and it is living. I know because that is my shorty standing in front of it.



The exposed roots of an enormous tree in Falls Park along the Reedy River. Here is another shot where you can see the tree coming out of the ground above.



So, I was very excited when I realized I could use these pictures for today's SPF! It's not often I find something really fascinating to take a picture of...other than my child of course. Didya play? Didya, didya? Let me and Kristine know if you did!

Fluffy Sugar-coated Fun!

TKW has inspired me today with her creativity with Peeps so I went looking for what else I could do with them.

Every Easter we end up with tons of peeps. My husband likes them so everyone sends them to him. He doesn't like them THAT much though so we always have lots of them that don't end up getting eaten. I saw this and thought it was a great recipe to try to use up some of those peeps AND it would make a great teacher gift.
Edit: The Peeps Jar can be found Here



Here is the "recipe":
In the jar: 1 sleeve of graham crackers, crushed
8 peeps
1/3 C. brown sugar (pressed into the center of the peeps)
1 1/2 cup Easter M&M's

Peep Bars
Empty contents of the jar into a bowl Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen shears or cut up with a knife. Return the bunny bits to the mixture and mix well. Add 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 tsp. vanilla and mix well. Pat into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
Option: leave the bunnies whole; combine remaining ingredients and place the bunnies on top. Bake as directed.


And this recipe was also with them:

Peep Ice Cream Topping
Same as above, but omit the vanilla.
Pat into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 just until peeps melt. Cool. Break up with a knife. Sprinkle over vanilla ice cream.

Then I saw this picture some where and thought it was really cute and a good use of peeps as well...


What child wouldn't love a peep in their hot chocolate?!? The picture makes me want a cup even though it is quite warm here today.

Making a Peep topiary...I didn't get a picture of the finished project but you can use your imagination and get a pretty good idea of what it could look like from the picture of the topiary in the making.

So, bring on the Peeps, peeps! I won't have to throw them all away anymore now that I have some ideas of what to do with the little critters.

Happy February 1st Snow Day!

I took these pictures real quick this morning so I could show Mom. I hope to get some better ones later depending on what the weather decides to do.


Had to take the pictures from the door because you can bet your sweet bippy I wasn't going out in that first thing in the morning! All the neighbors are out taking pictures and playing in the white stuff they so seldom get to see. You would think this was my first time seeing it too. The woods behind my house is really pretty with the snow all over it!

Winter Storm!

Ho. Lee. Crap! We may actually see some snow!







The news station is reporting that Lowes and Home Depot are running out of space heaters, firelogs, and other necessities for a winter storm. The groceries are running out of bread and milk! What to do, what to do?!? Okay...I'm not too worried about it. I did fill some coolers with ice though just in case we lose power...I don't want to lose all my groceries again like I did when we lived in Indiana and had a "real" ice storm. Fed and watered the dogs so they can hunker down for the night and ordered a gallon of "chockie milk" from hubs on his way home. I'm ready...bring it on!

Because it is a Neat photo...

....taken by Meemaw in her yard.
