Got Apples?

This past weekend we went upstate apple picking, with The Frymans. Besides having such a good time with them, we got a lot of apples!! Every year I jar apple sauce and put together my pies to keep in the freezer, this way I have "fresh" pies when ever I want through the winter, but I'm always on the lookout for more recipes and ideas.

Whats worse than a broken dishwasher??

I guess it could work!!
A broken clothes dryer too!!!

Can you believe my dishwasher broke on Saturday, and my dryer broke on Sunday? Well they did, and in a house of 10 people these are 2 of the worse things to break, especially at the same time. OK, I could go to a Laundromat, but they don't have places that do your dishes!!!

You Might Be a Redneck If.....

My brother-in-law Carmine sent me one of those e-mails: You might be a Redneck If.....

and one of the examples was this one.."Your wedding cake looked like this"....

I don't consider myself a redneck but, I wouldn't mind this at my special occasion!!!

Not many posts lately....But I have an excuse....

As you can see, there is something wrong with my camera. The only way I posted what I did lately, was if I got a chance to use Dominic's camera. So the real point of this post is.....

My birthday is coming up on 11/07/2008 and if anyone has any suggestions on a not too expensive, but nice camera, could you let Frank know? I really would be so happy. Thanks in advance!!!

Looks like this flower is on fire with pink flames!!

Happy Birthday Frank!!

Today is Frank's 48th birthday!!

It's amazing how the years go by, I met him in high school when he was 16 years old, when we got married, he was 21, and now he's 48!! Nothing has really changed much though, maybe a little grayer, (OK, a lot grayer) but that's about it!! I'm glad, I wouldn't want him any other way!! Happy Birthday Frank.....

And They're Off......

September 3rd....The best day of the year!!! Only kidding, I like when the kids are home, but after having them home the whole summer, it's time to let them go again.These pictures are in order starting with Franky leaving at 7am, to Daniella Bella Rina leaving at 8:50am, and Dominic leaving at 11:30am for his vocational school, but that's just for today. Dominic's high school doesn't start until tomorrow, at which time HE will be the first one out the door with the bus coming at 6:25am.YUK!!
