Snowed In With Family...Devine!

This is my favorite view when I visit my
family at the Jersey shore...but not this Christmas! 
always kids - laughing, chattering, wonderful kids
my cousins Casey on the left and Jamie 3rd from the left
family that surrounds me with smiles and I give them right back!
we missed Matt and Connie this year....
but they're doing their thing and happy in South Korea! 

the girls have very cool boyfriends = nice too
 And then the snow began....
22"   
we played
we laughed
we sang
we ate

and ate...
cookie swaps
ule log
music everywhere
the WI
Balderdash
Dance Revolution
Madison wanting food
and going out!
 the men in the family shoveled us out
I love my family more than...
snowflakes on my tongue!

Under The Boardwalk,,, ahhhh sweet summertime!

Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be faling in love

Under the board-walk (board-walk!)
From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love



Under the board-walk (board-walk!)



The Drifters  "Under The Boardwalk"

I just finished it!

Monday - HE Restoreth My Soul - My Saturday Adventure at The Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival

i went to the MARYLAND SHEEP & WOOL FESTIVAL on saturday with my friend rachel... i don't weave, spin, knit, crochet, I'm allergic to wool, love to eat lamb ( just couldn't that day ) - and adore animals and creative talents of others along with neutral and vivid colors....we had a blast....I used my inhaler...lol. jennifer
At first glance the song's refrain, as written on the sheet music, seems to be meaningless:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
However, the lyrics of the bridge provide a clue:
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey,
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy."
there was every shape,size and breed of lamb,llamas big and small,sheering, contests,ice cream,corn dogs,skeins,maas and baas,lamb kabobs,lamb burgers,chilled soft drinks, weavers, spinners, greeting cards, looms, hats, scarves, shawls, gloves,jewelry,lessons, plants,flowers,veggies,
pink slippers,
even bunnies!
23rd Psalm


The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

another song I was hummy today..."How Great Thou Art"...Jennifer
yup sometimes I'm silly, sometimes I'm sweet tee hee

Birthday weekend with pals in PA....

My friend Boobie and I hit the road last weekend for my birthday.... it was a hoot! The only negative was the 6 lb. weight gain which I am certian is all water weight! I couldn't be the Bloody Mary's on Sunday, the home-made ravioli and wine on Friday, the pastries and cookies from Little Italy all
weekend!!!!!!
Happy Birthday was had by all.... now H2O is had by ME!!!!!
Oh, and there is an adorable King Charles Cavalier residing in Bobbie's sister's home named "Leo". The Reading Glass Outlet is great and if you're ever in the area - the outdoor Italian market is the bomb!!!!

There's No Place Like Mom's




EGGS in a BASKET

When my sons were little they used to
love to eat "eggs in a basket" which is basically bread with a hole cut in the
middle after buttering both sides laying it
in a skillet, cracking an egg in the middle, cooking it until it's golden on one side, flip it
and cook it the remaining way and serve.
Cookie cutter shapes are cool too. "Eggs in a Butterfly" are a slice of bread sliced on an angle and placed point to point to make wings, crack the egg in the middle. I once made green eggs and ham
the eggs were not a big hit....per my sons Todd and Matt.

Let's Go To The Grove! Adamstown, PA.

Flea Market Finds!


If you haven't been to Adamstown, PA. GO! There are a ton of local antique shops, several great places to eat, indoor outdoor flea markets - a fun day out for all. Shupp's Grove is open on Saturday and Sunday. The vendors close up early so check the schedule on the site for hours. They sell coffee and it's chilly in the early am. You can switch off another weekend and go to Rennigers or try to do both. If you hope to go for an extravaganza weekend - book ahead at a hotel.
