Peanutbutter Brownies

Look at this recipe my grandson Tyler and I just found. We were looking for something to make for Grandpa when he gets home from work. Don't they look YUMMY!!!!







Tyler also picked out this recipe for Creamy Chicken pasta bake he wants to make for dinner. He loves chicken nuggets (YUG) so we were looking for something he thought looked good. I'll let you know how it turns out.






First we are off to the Park to play.

Happy Birthday Becca

Wow where Oh where did this week go? I've been so busy this week I haven't even blogged. I've had chiro, acupuncture, and hair appointments.

The grey hair is gone YEA! I have a new color...still not to sure about it but it's something different for now.

I still have tendinitis and I'm not suppose to be using my hand. Hopefully one more appointment to the acupuncturist and it will be gone :-)this one handed typing is for the birds.

Today is my Grand daughter's 13th birthday. Happy Birthday Becca... Grandma and Grandpa Love you! We hope you had a wonderful day. We are looking forward to seeing you. YIKES she is officially a teenager. I'm having a problem with this...it seems like yesterday you were 3.

Today Mark and I went to Lancaster to the Poppy Reserve on our way to the retreat. The Poppies were all gone. The guy at the park said they were in full bloom the beginning of April. We did see a few a long the way.

Look what we saw once we got to the 5 near Gorman

POPPIES

This is what the drive to Scrap-N-Away looks like on the 5 by Gorman.










I left the retreat a little early yesterday so I could stop and take some pictures of the Poppies. I went down Gorman's frontage road to take the pictures. If I get a chance I want to go to the Park in Lancaster to take more pictures. The hillsides are covered in Poppies.

Another Beautiful Day

Can you believe this weather? It's another beautiful day here on the mountain. I'm loving it! In fact I'm thinking of waiting until later tonight to go back to Oxnard. I just got off the phone with Mark. He said he walked outside and he felt like he was in Bakersfield (no offense to all my friends in Bakersfield)way to HOT for me!Hopefully we will have our nice ocean breeze by this evening when I get home.

How's the weather where you are. Mark says it must be in the high 70's or 80's in Oxnard which is very unusual we are usually around 70. It's around 70 here in Frazier. Just right :-)!

Have a great day whereever you are.

Spring Day

You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful spring day. The weather here was just perfect! The birds were singing, the squirrels where out everywhere. Sue even Mr. Big Ears was out playing in the yard.

The weather was so nice the girl's enjoyed sitting outside on the deck to eat their lunch. The fresh mountain air was such a change from the snowy weather they have been having.

We hope you enjoyed a nice day where ever you where today!

Win Metallic Chalks

How would you like to win a set of Metallic chalks? Pebbles Inc is giving a set away on their blog.Go on over and leave a comment!

No Poppies yet :-(

I was so sad yesterday while I was driving to the retreat I was hoping for fields full of Poppies...NO POPPIES :-( I guess they don't bloom when it snows.

If you've never seen the Poppies when they cover the hillsides there is still a chance. They should be in full bloom in the next couple of weeks.Anyway I'm hoping! Really ladies get out you cameras and take a drive to Lancaster or at least Gorman you won't want to miss this photo opp.

OK so I didn't get flowers on the way up but let me show you the roses Mark has growing at home. They are so pretty. For those of you that know the gopher story you know why I appreciate that he still gardens.

POPPIES

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend with family and friends. We had a very relaxing and quite one. Missed the grand kids but it was nice.

The mountain is beautiful right now. If you've never been here when the Poppies are in bloom you should come visit this month. It is a beautiful site. Here is a picture from last week. They were not quit in full bloom yet in these pictures. I can't wait to see what the mountains look like on Thursday when I go to the retreat. I'm going to leave early so I can stop and take pictures.



I'm sure by now the mountain will be covered in POPPIES!


Ok I'm going to confess. I went to Mc Donald's for lunch today. I never eat at Mc Donald's. I really don't like fast food. But today I was craving a Big Mac and fries. I almost choked when they told me it was going to be almost $8. I had to order the meal so I could save $2. When did Mc Donald's get so dang expensive? I could have went to a restaurant and had a nice lunch for the same price. No more Mc Donald's for me!!!. How do you guys eat at Mc Donald's with a family. When my kids were young the whole family could eat for $8.

Easter Eggs


Happy Easter!

Sorry for the lack of blogging I've been gone. I will get back to blogging on Monday but I wanted to wish you a Happy Easter and thanks for all the comments.


Look at these cute deviled eggs I made this morning. All you have to do is put the egg in food coloring and let it set until it is the color you want. Cut with a sharp knife and fill with your favorite deviled egg recipe.
