Kathleen and Andy talked me into playing few board games with them. They totally beat me in every game. Now I remember why I don't like to play games!!
I was going to report on Gov. Huckabee's talk: It was geared to the kids at the school. He had so many funny stories, we could have stayed all night listening to him! I think the main point of the speech was that our children are the future and that we do have a future. If our economy goes and all else, and, we have children that have faith--then there is hope. It was an enjoyable evening.
That is all for tonight. The kids wore me out.

Get It Done Day!
Not a day to look forward to, but one of necessity--"Doggy-do day." Amazing what they had been hiding under the snow and straw. Since I started so late in the day, I didn't get done in time to make it to the dump. Now there will be a quick trip to the dump in the morning.
Today was a beautiful day to be out, maybe a little cool with a wind blowing from the SW; but, under my coat it didn't phase me. The dogs were happy to follow me everywhere. I love Spring. Life is good--God is good.
Tomorrow is "visiting" day and church day for me, so on Thursday I will get back with an update on Gov. Huckabee's visit to Montana. (No update. His speech was not on hralthcare.)
Tonight I am skipping my procrastination ritual and going to scan another album. There just has to be these serious days every once in a while!! This will give Anita a chance to catch up with me, too!

Bad Hair Day
Took a shower this morning. I hoped it would put some zing back in my hair! Unfortunately, now my limp waves are gone. The perm is barely noticeable. I am so very disappointed. I have been waiting for about two years to get this perm; but I had put it off so that I wouldn't be wasting money. Well, maybe next year I will try again.
Ran to town to get some brown sugar to make an apple pie. A can of pumpkin pie mix was on sale...so, I thought I would make that instead. I came home and put the ingredients together and found out we had less than a cup of sugar in the house. Well, that shouldn't matter too much, we probably need to cut back on all the sugar anyways. The crust rolled out pretty nice as I put it all together and stuck it in the oven.
Then, as I was putting things away, I took the sack of flour and filled the cannister, as it was almost empty...which is why I had used the flour in the sack. Then I rolled up the top of the sack with the leftover flour, and went to put it on the cupboard self. But, hah! What's this! There was the sack of flour from the previous time I had tried to fill the cannister. I looked again at the sack I had just used--my gosh it was the sack of SELF RISING FLOUR that was sitting in the pantry. Well, too late now. Must remember to read labels!!!
The pie came out looking good and smelling good. There was a little cream left, so after the pie cooled a little, I whipped it up so I could have a tasty treat.
My advice to all is to never use self-rising flour for your pie crust. It kinda tasted like pie filling on bread. But, we can break off the crust and continue eating these pies--can't waste pumpkin pie mix!
Must now try to figure out how to make my hair look at least "ok" for the dinner tonight. On a positive note, I will be eating a meal cooked by professionals tonight!
