True or False?

I heard about this website on the radio that tells you if the rumors you hear are true or false…….I thought this one was pretty neat! Make a note in your purse and take it with you to the grocery store!

True or False ?

You can tell which day a loaf of bread was baked by the color of the plastic twist tag

TRUE - When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever squeezed the bread for freshness or softness? Well bread is delivered fresh to stores 5 days a week…Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are:

Monday – Blue
Tuesday – Green
Thursday – Red
Friday – White
Saturday – Yellow

Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping!

Happy Mother's Day

This will be my 2nd Mother's Day and it still feels strange that I am a "Mom Mom". In the past it was always routine on what we would get our mom's on this day......a nice card and flowers. They never wanted anything more........

My husband asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day which seemed strange. Not that he asked me but that I am a MOM. I still sometimes am not use to it I guess. Don't get me wrong I LOVE it but after being married for almost 15 years before my son was born, it still is hard to believe that this little pumpkin is actually our's.

Oh how life has changed since he was born.



That sentence deserves a line of it's own LOL.......We had normal routines, came and went as we pleased, slept till whenever on the weekends, well you get the idea! How that all abruptly came to an end LOL......But you know what? I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. In a way I wish we had him earlier but God had different plans. We enjoyed just "our" time together and I guess you can say, we did our thing. Now it's not just us anymore, we have this little person that we are now responsible for.......oh how that reality sometimes still overwhelms me to this day.



I thank God for him everyday and I know he will help me to teach him the best I can. So for all the other mom's out there, I would just like to say "Happy Mother's Day" to you all! I hope you enjoy the day with your family!

Ask my son to see his big mouth and the above is what you'll get! This seems to be his new thing LOL......if you even MENTION the word mouth, he will do this. He opens it as wide as he can and believe me, he really gives an effort when he does this! So here I was sitting at the table taking his picture. He realized after I take a picture, he could see himself on the screen of the digital camera.......well he got pretty excited about it, so he began to "pose" (without me even asking!) waiting for me to take the picture again..... So I said...Paul....come on, smile nice for the camera and I got this :-)


But I only got one of those poses because this one obviously is more fun!

I'm Still Here!

Not sure if anyone missed me or not :0) as I haven't posted in awhile but things have been alittle busy lately. Hubby had surgery last week on his sinuses so I was alittle pre-occupied with tending to not one but two babies :-) Well maybe it wasn't THAT bad but you know how men are! And then we celebrated hubby's birthday yesterday so that was a busy day also. Everything should settle down now again so I can start reading and posting again! I hope everyone has been good and I'll visit everyone again shortly!

A little History

When I rec'd this email I found it to be quite interesting - Hopefully you will to!

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot; he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot; he was in, err, with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh? Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading.
