Chips and Salsa

As we arrived home from the store today and before all of the many, many bags of groceries were piled high on the counter top I was diving into this DELECTABLE, DIVINE, and DELISH snack of chips and salsa. My husband looked at me a little surprised then gave me the, "I understand your passion, dive in, I'm glad you are happy." Grin


I will FOREVER be grateful to Tejas for introducing me to El Milagro tortilla chips and Texas-Texas Salsa (Medium tastes better than mild even if you can't handle the heat it's a must) .


GRACIAS TEJAS, GRACIAS !!!

P.S. add a touch of salt=perfection

Hurricane Y-Ike-s

This weekend we hosted 3 adults to add to our 2 and 2 dogs to add to our 1 child. They are formally called evacuees, okay family, escaping the wrath to be of Hurricane Ike. Unlike fish, they didn't stink after 3 days...they showered!

p.s. I don't have any pics to show how crowded and fun our place was because I was either trying to get the dogs to play in the street, cooking a delish treat, or elevating my feet.

p.p.s I also forgot to put the memory card in the camera...

This past week I have been reading and thinking about the Nielson family. This is a family that I have come to adore. I read about their accident on a friends blog and have noticed it on many others. The parents, Stephanie and Christian, were in a plane crash and are both severly burned. I have been reading old posts of hers and I love the way she lives her life! They have four young children and will have months of recovery in the hospital. So if you'd like to help out click on the link below. To read about their family click here and here

Mary Summer 08

We had a great Summer in Utah! Sorry to those we did not get to spend time with, for some reason time goes by faster in Mountain Standard Time, and we didn't have a car to get from A and B. I know it's been awhile since I've blogged but I've needed a break from this, this world. This is a slide show of some of our activites this Summer including, playing with cousins, swimming, multiple parades and golfing (she's got great touch on the greens)! Hope you enjoy!

p.s. I am going to make this a private blog so leave your e-mail if you would like to view it.
