Bacon

I love bacon. It's just a fact. I'd eat it every day if I could. I love the stuff.
I have always joked that everything is good with bacon. The sentiment was even confirmed in an episode of "Best Thing I Ever Ate - Bacon" on the food network. One item from the episode even combined bacon with another of my favorite eats - doughnuts! It was a Bacon Apple Maple Donut from Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco. I am so going to San Fran, now. :)

Sooooo...imagine my surprise today at Central Market while Tink and I were shopping for some nummies for our afternoon pool party with the Yaya's.....when I spotted this:

Oh yeah....a chocolate bar with BACON! No kidding. And this was no ordinary Hershey's chocolate. Oh no, its an $8 chocolate bar.....very upscale, indeed. Luckily they had little sample bars......half an ounce....for a little better price.

I *had* to buy one.

I had to know -- is everything better with BACON????

Well, is it??????

NO! It is not. Bleck, ick, yuck. Thank the good Lord above I didn't buy the bigger bar.

So, maybe I don't need to go to San Francisco after all.

Feet Friday and Happy Anniversary to Us!

Last day at the lake and our 29th wedding anniversary!

Packaging Funny

While out doing last minute shopping for our lake vacation we decided to pick up some cheap beach balls at Target for the grandsons. Just a buck...why not.

One look at the packaging and I knew I'd be blogging. ;)

Say what?

Ha, ha, ha.......so cracked us up!

Feet Friday

Just for fun!

Sickness Steals Surprise

I have this cute church birdhouse that Tink gave me years ago that I keep on a small table in my dining room area. It's one item I don't remove anymore when I child proof before the grand kids come over. Not because I don't care if it gets ruined....but because of what it contained after one visit a couple of years ago when I forgot to put it up.

There is a little door on the back......and we discovered this:

Such a fun surprise! Liam is consistent each and every visit to park his cars in here......only this last weekend my little jewel was sick during his visit and stayed in bed. Boo hoo. We missed our surprise........that's not so surprising anymore. :)
Next time.

Wedding Bells

You know the old saying, "A daughter's a daughter all of her life, a son's a son until he takes him a wife"? It's one I believe is true most of the time. I used to hope (and even pray on occasion) that Dan would marry an orphan so she'd not have a family to pull him away to! ;) As it turns out, I needn't have worried. Yesterday our son got married and we have not lost a son but gained another daughter.....and no, she's not an orphan! :)

Here's Hubby with Dan on his cell wondering where the bride was and what was holding things up. He was anxious to get things moving!

Me with the groom.

The beautiful bride, Faith, walking down to the gazebo with her dear friend Colette. You can see the smile on her face as she spots her man.

Dan wanted a private ceremony....he would have preferred no one be there but we managed to shame him into a couple of people. Poor boy gets nervous having to speak in front of anyone! Sigh.

Here are the happy couple listening to Joe....right before the vows.

Faith is getting ready to put Dan's ring on. The picture of Dan putting her ring on didn't turn out very well.

I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Jandt.

Love this shot of them. So sweet.

Happy day!

P.S. You can read a funny blog here by a very determined best friend who decided she wasn't gonna miss this event even if Dan wanted it private!
