Bad Blogger
Hi Sheri (I think you are the only one who reads my blog),
Sorry I've been a bad blogger these past couple of months. I won't go into the reasons, but maybe I will get around to it this weekend. Last weekend I started a facebook to reconnect with some High School classmates. We graduated 30 years ago this year, so hopefully we will be having another reunion sometime later in the year. It's been a lot of fun sharing old photos and such. Mary Ann even has a facebook and I plan to scan and send her some old pictures of her and Joe & Joey if I get around to it. Abbi has 3 softball games on Sat as the season is about to get underway. Check out their team website for new pictures.

Operation Christmas Child
The girls and I had fun shopping at Target to fill shoe boxes for Samaritan's Purse this past Saturday. We did 3 boxes for girls 10-14 and 1 boy box, the same age. Some items we purchased were: hair accessories, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, brush, watch, slinky, paper tablet, pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, stuffed zebra and giraffe, ball..that's all I can remember. Our church is a distribution center and collects thousands of boxes each year. Here are a couple pictures of Abbi and Hannah in front of the outdoor Christmas tree as it was being put up and inside at the collection table.

Breakfast with Pirettes (and Earl) at the Ball Park
No, this is not a corny dog! It's a Pancake on a Stick with Sausage inside!
Macy's mom, has got it goin' on. She can eat anything and doesn't gain an ounce.
Delicious! Has to be with 14 grams of fat! Yes, I had one too! Jan, made me do it!
Meet Earl....the Pirette's new mascot. In case you can't tell, it's a locust. Does he look a little stiff?
Randy keeping the books. It was a beautiful day at the ball park with nice weather, covered seating, and a nice lake view.
Here's Abbi, with her wind up. The Pirettes went 3 for 3 today after losing the first 2 of 3 games yesterday. Way to finish strong!

My Favorite Mexican Dip Recipe
Easy & Delicious Mexican Layer Dip
Layer in glass or stoneware dish: (approx 7 ½ x 11)
8 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese (soften & spread to cover bottom)
I always use original instead of fat-free or low-fat...it has a better consistency & taste!
1 Can Black Beans - drained
1 Can Rotel Mexican Festival Tomatoes - drained slightly
Grated Mexican Blend Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese
Bake in 325 degree oven just until cheese is melted.
Top with mixture of chopped green onions and Cilantro to cover & taste.
Serve with Tortilla Chips & Enjoy!
I got this recipe from at an end of the season soccer party back in the day when Abbi still played soccer. It was so easy I never had to write it down until this weekend when a friend from church asked for it.

San Antonio
The girls and I went to San Antonio for 4 days and spent time with my sister, Shari and niece, Randi Lane. Here's Aunt Shari, Abbi & Hannah on the log ride at Fiesta Texas. We had a nice day weather wise with overcast skies considering it was mid August.
After the art museum, we went to The Witte, Science Museum. As you can see it was pretty interactive and a lot of fun. It rained a good part of the day, so it was a good thing we had planned indoor activities.
Here is our picture from our Natural Bridge Caverns tour taken on Sunday when Randi Lane could join us. We didn't buy the picture, Randi just took a picture of it for us. The caverns were pretty neat, but I expected them to be cooler as the website said they were a constant 70 degrees. I forgot to factor in the humidity of 100% which made it feel more like 85.
Aunt Shari rode the roller coasters and other rides with Abbi & Hannah at Fiesta Texas. This one is called The Scream. Abbi decided she didn't want to.
