Pics from Sue's 50th Celebrations

Here are a few pics from Susan's 50th birthday dinner. We had a fabulous time together. Unfortunately, I think Kate upstaged Susan just a little bit...she was definitely the star of the weekend. Susan was very gracious and understanding about that :))) I got to witness my sister in Grandmother mode (although she goes by GiGi)--she bathed Kate and I can tell how much she's enjoying being a Grandmother and how much she misses them, since they live in AZ.

More pics to come but for now....

Happy Birthday Dear Sister!!!

You Never Know..What Treasures are to be Found

Most people know that I work in a thrift store and many people ask what kind of things you can find. To be honest sometimes you might not find anything, but usually I find something, whether it be purses, jewelry or clothing. And sometimes you find a really good item. My brother and sister are both wonderful cooks and they like to cook, too. Me on the other hand, I like to collect kitchen stuff and I do love to bake. So when I came across this brand-new, still in the box, All-Clad 24qt Stock pot, I knew I had to have it! If my kitchen ever comes to fruition, I have dreams of making lots of homemade spaghetti sauce to freeze, but for now it remains in the box and my siblings drool just a little bit over my find and now know that there are treasures to be found at a Thrift Store!

Meeting "Kate"

Okay, Okay, Great Auntie Boo! (Sounds so old, though)



What better picture than Kate with her Great-Grandma Dahl. The kids have been so excited about meeting their new cousin, Kate. We had a piano lesson yesterday but their minds were only on meeting Kate. Both of them were very sweet with her. Brandon was a little apprehensive about holding her but after I made him, he liked it and said he could hold her for awhile. Kate is here to celebrate her "Gigi's" big 50th birthday. I think Susan is going by Gigi (for Grandma) or maybe its Marmie, but we are all excited about celebrating her BIG Day with the whole family. Travis (Nora's husband)arrives next week as well as Erik and Howard. I'm looking forward to all of us being together. Lots of photo ops, too!
