Focaccia Tastes Good!


If you haven't had the chance to taste Focaccia Bread, you are missing out. I love it and you can find it at Price Chopper or Wal-mart. I was looking through my bread book this morning (since I didn't want to go to my classroom today and otherwise sheer boredom) and found the recipe. I thought it wouldn't be too hard to make. So here was my attempt. It doesn't look like the kind from the store but it still looks good to me. I'll let you know how it tastes later. Maybe I'll even sneak a picture of Dan eating a piece of it. :)

Wacky Wednesday

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY....ok so yes we needed the rain but not quite so much of it. :) I have a workshop this morning and I got drenched. It is a good thing that I came in early so I can dry out before I freeze to death in the school library. But I have to laugh that it hasn't rained this much pretty much all summer and the one day that I have a workshop it rains! :) There is my rain rant for the day!

More to come later!

Tuesday Thoughts

First I have to say I am really loving the whole blogging world. It's an awesome way to voice opinions and thoughts. Kuddos to whoever created the blog.

So to all my friends who love ice cream and Sonic. The new fried ice cream blast is to die for. If you don't want to be hooked for life don't try one. I made the mistake of getting one today and it is sooooo good! I am afraid I'll be back at Sonic all month long getting one.

Speaking of Sonic....try putting blackberry in Diet Coke next time you're there. It is really good. I usually drink my D.C. plain but every now and then I try something new. I also like cranberry in it for a tangy treat. :)

I had so much fun at the Arboretum on Saturday. I loved all the messages that we heard. I loved walking around the gardens and seeing all of the wonderful things Heavenly Father has created for us. I do want to go back and walk around some more.

I had the chance to go to Powell Gardens in Missouri while my mom was here. It was so beautiful. The Day Lillies were absolutely stunning. I'm going to post a few pictures for your enjoyment. (I won't post all 108 that I took!)

our "little" boy
















I just wanted to post a few pics of our little boy, Magnum! He's so cute and adorable. We love him dearly and he sure is good company when Dan is gone refereeing.










The First Blog Ever :)

Hello all! Well I've seen so many of my friends with blogs that I decided I might as well join them too. The more the "maryer"! I figured this is a great way to keep up with friends and allow my friends to keep up with Dan and I. I only have a few more days of vacation left before the school year whirlwind begins again and Dan is off reffing football. So here's to figuring out this whole new world of blogging before I get back into the grind of school. I hope you all have a marvelous evening.
