Fudge, Sleeping Arrangements, Simple Fun, and Snow Folks

 I did something Thursday 

evening that I have 

NEVER

done. I made fudge.

I made Brown

Sugar Fudge.

WOW...

it is sweet!

3 cups of brown sugar

1cup of butter

3/4 cup of evaporated milk

2 cups of powdered sugar

in a large pan, bring brown 

sugar, butter and evaporated milk

to a boil. Boil for 10 mins, stirring

a lot to keep from sticking.

Remove from heat, add

powered sugar and with an electric

mixer on med speed. Mix

for 5 mins. 

If you wanted to add one

cup of pecans, do it now.

Spread fudge evenly in 

an 8 inch rectangular pan.

Cool and cut.

YUM, YUM, YUM!

Next, I think I will try my

hand at choc fudge and maybe

peanut butter fudge.

I also need to remember

to get some honey so I 

can make some bread.

Have not made any in

awhile. 

Sometimes I think the girls

discuss things.  You see, my gray 

ball of fur always sleeps with me.

Lily, however, will not sleep in the 

same bed that Misty is in.

All of a sudden, Misty started

sleeping on the couch and Lily in 

the bed. 

In the morning, Misty is 

in the bed and Lily is somewhere

near the bed, yelling at me to get

up. HAHA....before getting a 

cat no one told me how much fun

they could be.

Pics from here on out are

thanks to the internet.

Ever see things like this and 

wonder back to your childhood?

Those days were fun, but 

so simple. Sometimes I 

miss the simpler times of 

growing up cause we all know

that ADULTING is not always fun!

I remember in the summer, playing 

hide and seek using our house, 

the one next door, and the two across 

the street, after dark. We did not have

streetlights either, just the porch lines

to see us around. After a bit we 

would go in and get flashlights.

Truth be known, we did not really

need to hide but we could just

stand by a tree, the house, or

lay on the ground, but then there 

was the bushes and trees we 

could get behind if we felt the need

to really hide. 

When the coast was clear, 

run to base. During those months

we could be outside, we generally

was, not to come in till

way after dark.

Kids today miss out on so 

much fun. 

When I was younger with 

kids I tried to make fun for them

when it was winter months or

the weather was bad.

We would have picnics on 

blankets on the living room 

floor. 

Or blow up a balloon,

and hit it around but you could

not let it touch the ground.

I know my grands spend way

too much time on games in 

their rooms. 

They are missing those simple

times we had for making 

our own fun.

What sort of fun on the bad

days did you do as a child or 

do with your child?

Back to my pics now.

Thought I would show off my

snow people. The next two

pics are some I picked up

here and there.

This one I was given last

year from my friend Pam.

It was my moving away 

gift.

This one I made from

a porch rail.

The one below, made

from pieces of 

 cut wood

to make the face and the 

hat.

 The one in the back and the 

word SNOW are a couple

I made again, just from

pieces of wood.

Speaking on making, I 

still need to paint Felicity's

chair. Gotta get on that so 

I don't leave to the last 

min. I also have one thing I 

am making for Amber for her

bday on the 19th. Just gotta

paint a little on that.

Maybe today which is Sunday.

I crashed yesterday and 

slept and laid around.

Just needed it.
