Car History

Here is the documentation of :

MY CAR HISTORY..

In chronological order of appearance in

my first life (marriage to Scot)

**yes, I was married before I married the "swede"**

Back from college 1978 Orange VW Bug

Scot owned this car(Porsche 914) when we got married in 1978.

My younger brother totaled it.

We bought this car

(I had dreamed of this car when I was in high school)

soon after we got married

before daughter #1 was born in 1980.

Don't laugh, I drove this car for months(1957 Cadillac)...this was

the color -a light lavender, it was a boat!

Scot brought this car(Fiat) home

and I knew we were poor...

I drove around with 2 kids in this car.

Then he brought this car(Chevy Nomad) home

and I felt like a real

"surf bum"

He saw this car(Pontiac Firebird) in the Auto Trader magazine-

I had no idea that once again

I would be driving a convertible with 3 kids!

I finally pleaded with him to get me

a safe reliable car...volia..the Volvo Sedan

1983

At this point in time, I had become a Southern

California bonefide "Yuppie" chick,

and requested a 3rd seat Volvo wagon.

It was a turbo.

I drove the above car for years until....

the D word happened to me and my marriage.

Scot had bought this truck for our business...and

so the Volvo went and the VW rabbit truck

became my only transportation.

(that was not fun driving 3 children around in it.)

Thus ended the crazy history of my first life car history.

To be continued....

Thoughts on March Madness

I know what you are thinking......

How can a fifty three year old woman

have an opinion or a perspective on the

NCAA Basketball's March Madness?

Easy... because I love watching and cheering for my home team

BYU

Come on, it's a no brainer to want to see a very talented player like

Jimmer Fredette have success.

They say he is an ordinary looking young man...

But if you have seen him play at least one game,

let alone the 32 I have watched...

you would know that he is far above any old

GREAT player.

He is even mentioned by my favorite sports critic,

Frank Deford on NPR. Listen here

(March Madness: Fans Love The Knock Out round)

Jimmer has been nominated for the P.O.Y. award.

Read here about Jimmer.

Ok, I am sure that by now

you can tell that I have BEEN

"JIMMERED"

**Take one more moment and watch this You tube video

(do you recognize those guys??, was that hilarious?)

"I am proud to be a Jimmerican"

I need more...

Experience in bread making!!

---------------------------------------------

I feel as though I have missed out by

not refining my bread making skills.

Is it too late??

Several weekends ago..I pulled out my

three ring binder cook book of recipes.

I collect these recipe's from magazine's,

web sites...etc. and came upon this one:

Braided Orange Bread

As I sliced into it, I could tell that it would

be a heavy bread, better toasted.

My family loved it, but I still need to bake a few more

to really perfect the light goodness of a really GOOD sweet bread.

stay tune...more adventure's in bread

making and other "delectable's!"

My Friend..

Hailey

I meet her at church, I was her teacher.

She was the only girl in an all boy class, so she needed my special attention.

She was emotional and loving

and the boys were very attentive to her.

I liked her from the very start.

Here she is, in 2009 at our class Halloween party

(she picked the cat mask!)

I am not longer her teacher, but we have stayed friends.

Hailey turned EIGHT years old and invited me to her baptism.

After the baptism, I stopped by her home to

give her a gift I had made her.

A flannel pillow case for a GR-8 year old!

I love Hailey and her family.

I'm wondering why we have not made this

a US national holiday?

(oh, I know..the nation would shut down)

Here is the only event listed in Utah

Let me know if you attend an event in your area.

..ahh, the Irish

As far as I can tell by my genealogical information,

I have NO Irish blood running through my veins.

I saw this on google image and loved it.

It is an Irish Claddagh Symbol.

A friendship symbol.

And so it is... my March header for my blog.

Here are some other friendship symbols I liked:

This one is a tattoo rendering.

If my mother were alive today, I would give

her this beautiful symbol of friendship and love.

CATS

Only cat lovers to read:
