Random Thoughts on Father's Day

The picture is in tribute to my husband...Who loves being a father only slightly more than being on the golf course!!


-I let my husband begin his Father's Day celebration by taking the older kids to church...alone! I elected to stay home with our sick 5 year old...So I think he ended up with the better deal!

-We went and saw "Iron Man" yesterday as a family. It was okay, although I really liked Robert Downey Jr. in his character...it was a good fit!

-We got our date for Girls Camp next year (which I am "supposedly" in charge of...) I dry-heaved as I read the email...

-I still love Lisa, even though we both think the other's candidate is, shall I say, "not to our liking?
(love ya, girl!)

-I found the best recipe for homemade, white bread...here is is:
1 and 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
Mix the above ingredients together in a mixer with the kneading attachment. Add the following, in two cup increments, to the liquid mix above, until the dough is soft and elastic (about 2 minutes). Put in oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 60 minutes. Grease 2 bread pans with Crisco. Turn dough over on floured surface. Divide in half. Roll dough into loaf shapes, and place in pans. Let rise for about 30 minutes, and bake in preheated oven at 350, for 25 minutes until golden.

-We are making scones for lunch, with the above recipe (yum!)

-My daughter bought a Holland Lop bunny with her own money, and I must say, it is one of the CUTEST things I have ever seen!!

-I finished reading "Pillars of the Earth," and it was a really good story...It's over 900 pages, and yet, it didn't seem that long!

-Using my final paycheck from the magazine, I bought a cool wall mural to hang in our family room....I'll post pictures in a few weeks!

-My mom has finished radiation, has the cutest short, choppy hair growing in, and only has chemo (a kind with minimal side effects) once a week for the next 9 months...I am so amazed by her!!

-My husband is wonderful...I don't know what I'd do without him!!

Great list! You know the thing about all of us here in la la land that I love is that we don't have to agree to be friends and like each other.

That's what makes the world go round! THink how boring our world would be if we all thought alike!

Anyway, that bread recipe sounds great. Doubt Ill ever use it though. I hate to cook.
