I made bread and frozen yogurt today both came out so good. the bread was from a recipe from my bread machine book i made cheddar jalapeno bread but i think next time i will add more cheese. The frozen yogurt recipe i got from the food network magazine, it is from a place called Pink berry but i added more corn syrup. we watched 'PUSH' kind of a sci fi move pretty good. wed i work and Thursday the 16Th i had off we went to our first foster care/adoption meeting of many we will see if we are fit to be parents?

Ronnie and i came home and finish watching the next food network star i think the older guy with long hair is going to win. Monday July 13Th i got up and headed to the farmers market in 12 bridges so we would have fresh veggies for dinner then i headed to green acres for some fall veggies i started planting my lettuce, green beans and squash (butternut). Ronnie made pasta for dinner and it turned out sooo good fresh veggies make a difference. i made buchetta for the first time some yellow, red tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil !

sat July 4Th, 2009 val and i headed over to green tangerine for their annual yard sale we both said we bought too much but it was fun i found some really cute d/c ed stamps from stamping up. we got home and took it easy Ronnie is making his Thai salad to take over Andie's, mike is bringing chicken so he grilled it over here while Ronnie and i went swimming . I invited people over for drinks before the party so i thought i would try a new recipe it was from guy the recipe called for watermelon schnapps, limes , blue Curacao, and jalapenos spicy and sweet i don't think i will make it again it turned out pretty though!

here is one of the pizza's the kids made i had so much fun i am sure they did too! after we ate all of the pizza we could handle we headed across the street and went night swimming then everyone walked down the street to check out Terrie's float for the parade on sat the 4Th. busy day SO tired off to sleep around 12:00

July 3rd we had a nice day just the two of us hanging out swimming, and planning for the 4Th. later this day we made pizza with mike and the kids.

we jumped in the pool then Ronnie did some grilling i got a marinade at the farmers market we had pork, Chinese salad it turned out pretty good i had red cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, cerely, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, tomatoes and peanuts with won ton chips on top! while i was watering the plants i found two birds on the grass in the front yard so we rescued them but them in a box and put them back in the tree we waited and watched and finally mama and papa found them thank god i was not looking forward to feeding them every half hour.

then we went to smith and Hawkins because i am looking for a compost bin but they have been so expensive the cheapest $99.00 it shouldn't be this expensive to compost . we were talking and Lisa said the high hand nursery had a restaurant and had changed so we headed out to loom is boy they really did some work they have a art gallery and a huge restaurant, bar and grill it really does look nice i think my mother in law would like it i love all their flowers and statues it was a muggy day so we didn't stay very long but i think it was worth the trek. then we grabbed frozen yogurt at our favorite place top this in rocklyn mine always looks like a fruit salad even the cashier said mine was pretty! and yummy !

Tuesday June30Th i am off i felt better no pain so i got up watered the plants then off to the farmers market in rose ville they had more vender's than Lincoln i hope one of these days people realize that this is the way we should start buying our food eat local buy local support your community!! anyways i got to see my friend Lisa today we met up did a few returns went to the mall i was just wandering around i had not been to the mall since i came with her a month ago. i was good i did not buy anything! then we had lunch at California pizza kitchen we split a Chinese salad and Thai pizza she ask me is it OK to mix the two i told her why not aren't they neighbors?

i worked June 28Th then i was off Monday June 29Th i headed to the book store i got 2 mags then headed home this has not been a good day for me,i have a lot of back, sciatic pain so i pretty much stayed in bed or got in the pool i hate these days i have it off and there is so much for me to do but it is like god kicks me in the butt and says not today. i did manage to get to the store we had BBQ chicken and corn salad with onions carrots tomatoes and blue cheese and i mixed BBQ sauce and ranch for the dressing. it turned out yummy when it is hot like this we will eat salad every night. then off to bed i think i fell asleep around 930 i didn't have to read at all which is unusual for me i was tired.

June 27Th i got called off so i went to Lowe's got some paint, i am going to paint the wicker chairs i have on the porch i think they will look good, i guess we will see then i found 2 huge flowering trees on clearance for 7.00 each when normally they are 34.00 so i had to stuff those in the car my hand got all scratched up it look like i got in a fight. when i got home Ronnie kept telling me where are you going to put them i told him i will figure it out and then when i do it will be where ever i like! we invited val over since Dave is in the hills hiking we made steak shrimp with mango salsa and grilled garden fresh veggies topped with Mexican cheese yum!
