Happy Birthday, Abby!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Abby! My little sugar lump turns 20 today. This is a significant birthday in the Meyer house. Today marks the end of our days with teenagers. We love our three kids dearly, but as any parent knows, the teen years can be challenging to say the least. Tami and I will never again be the parents of teenagers. We will be grandparents of teenagers, but that is all together different. When our grandkids are teenagers we get to watch the show instead of being part of it.

Happy Birthday, Abby! I love you very much!

Feeling Sick

I think I feel a cold coming on...

I better get the extra strength...

A great night

What a great night! My eldest grandchild, Sveta came over for some one on one time with her grandma and her Goppa. She got to swim, eat PB&J sandwiches, stay up late, and spend the night. Tomorrow her little brother, Asher, will join us for some swimming. In case you're wondering, Elliott is camping with his other grandparents. Through all this one thing is certain... these grandchildren have two sets of doting grandparents who love them very much!

Estate Sale

My in-laws are downsizing to a condo after living in the same house for 50 years. Tomorrow there is an estate sale where most of the stuff that won't fit in the condo will be sold. Preparing for this sale has kept me busy and quite distracted. Things should get back to normal in a few days.

No Chocolate

You may find this shocking, but I don't like chocolate. I know, I know... what kind of weirdo doesn't like chocolate? Well... me.

Chocolate ice cream? Can't stand it!
Chocolate bars? Yuck!
Chocolate milk? Meh!
Chocolate fudge? Ewwww!
Hot fudge? The worst!

Having said that, why does this thing look so delicious? It probably looks better than it tastes.

Swimming on the 4th

We celebrated a typical American 4th of July yesterday. The family on the deck, a grill out, iced tea, lemonade, swimming, and lounging under the umbrella poolside. What better way to celebrate the 241st anniversary of our nation's independence? May God continue to bless the United States of America!

Independence Day

Happy Independence Day!

Chuckle Chuckle

This one was too cute to pass up...

Tag! You're it!

I thought I invented this line. Apparently I was wrong...

Ewwww! Gross!

Check out these gross recipes from magazines in the 60's and 70's. Most of them are from McCalls, Weight Watchers, or Better Homes and Gardens. I can't believe people actually thought this stuff was appetizing at some point. These recipes are just plain NASTY!
