Meet Pete....

Meet Mr.Pete

 This frog would not leave outside our back door last night. I told mom maybe I should do like the old saying says, "Kiss a frog and it will turn into your prince". It made me think of the frog part in O'Brother where art thou movie..lol..so I shall name it Pete then. You have to know the movie part I guess to get that joke. I have not seen Pete anymore. 

Catching up...

Hey ya'll:) to whoever is still reading this..lol!! I have not posted a regular post in a while so I thought I would drop in and say hey!! I really have not had much to blog about but hopefully I can come up with something to write about soon. Here is some tidbits from my life the past couple of weeks.

We booked our Vacation and in a few weeks we will get to see the beautiful shores of Destin FL. I have never been so I am very excited to see some new waters. I hear it is clear water and white sands and simply beautiful. We rented a condo and I am very excited about all that coming up!! My camera will pretty much be in action the whole time and I tend to take sooooooo many pictures!! We have been playing with the idea of maybe driving through New Orleans just to see what it looks like,but we don't know about that yet.

My parents this past 14th of August celebrated 36 years of Marriage!! I am so thankful to have been raised by a home where both parents were present and we were loved and grew up knowing we were loved and safe and all the memories made. So many today come from broken homes and bad marriages. I am so thankful that I came from one who stuck it out through thick and thin!! 

My Mama turned ...well I don't know if she is settled with the age yet..lol. She turned another year older on her Birthday yesterday the 18th!! We took her out to breakfast at a local place that is good here in town. She got cards,gifts and a cake!! Me and my sister took her out for the day and we ended up just riding around to parts we have not seen out this way yet. We went to Franklin and Brentwood TN areas. A lots of singers live in those areas. We had a great time. 

Here are a few Pictures from the day!!

Beautiful land through that part of TN

Then on the way home from taking my mom around we had to stop at a store and we found a Chinese restaurant in the shopping center so we decided to go in and eat supper. Well we walk in and not a sole is to be found,no customers and no workers. My sister said is it even open? I laughed and we all walked toward a table and finally here comes a man wondering out and he can't speak English very good and we finally figure out he asking us what we want to drink,so we say water. Meanwhile my sister is at the restroom and can't get in,the man yells something back at my sister that we have yet to know what he said,but we later figured out I think he was saying wait because somebody was in there. My sister heard the waitress yelling at somebody on the phone in there. So we all make our way over to the food area and nothing is out hardly. Some food here and there,but bare and some were empty with nothing. It wasn't worth the money because we wasn't going to be able to make a plate,it was pretty much just empty. So my mom says I'm not eating here and she starts to walk out,then my sister follows her and I go out. We were in a laughing mood by this time and we were in the car laughing because of how bad it was and how we just walked out. We never got any food or anything. Well I see a lady running toward our car while we are backing out and my sister said that is the waitress. Well the waitress runs to our car and throws a paper towel on our front window. My mom when she had sat down had left a paper towel she had took in on the table by accident. They threw it out our windshield and she ran back inside holding the doors and all of them looking at us mean. We were laughing so hard by then we just had pull over and my sister took the wipers and it blew off when they went over it. It was the best laugh I have had in a very long time and we could not stop laughing. Now we know to never go in a place that is empty,there is a reason sometimes. I can't believe people would be so rude in their business to people. You are not going to gain any customers acting so rude and throwing stuff at people. I got home and read reviews on the place and they were all bad so avoid this place!!!

Pleasant Dragon Buffet in Pleasant View TN

It sure is not a pleasant place..lol I could have said so much but just decided it wasn't even worth it,if that is how they want to act then let them,but they won't get my good review.

Well that is about all I got to say!! I hope all of you have a wonderful super over the top week!! God bless!!

Does a Egg really fry on a Sidewalk?

**Update:I hope the video is now working,I uploaded it to youtube to see if that fix the problem**

Click here for Video

I have always heard the saying "It's hot enough to fry a egg on the sidewalk" Well with really hot weather and it nearing 100 degrees,I decided to test it and see if it was true. Was it a pass or fail. Watch and find out!

For Laughs...

I bought this necklace for Mother's day and this is what it said on the box. Who buys Necklaces to ingest and wondering why this warning is even on a box..lol. Hopefully surely somebody has not tried that out there for them to put a warning on the box. 

The Baptist White Lie Cake!

I got this in a fwd email and it was funny. So I thought I would share!  Have you ever told a white lie? Alice Grayson was to bake a cake for the Baptist Church Ladies' Group in Tuscaloosa , but forgot to do it until the last minute. She remembered it the morning of the bake sale and after rummaging through cabinets, found an angelfood cake mix & quickly made it while drying her hair, dressing, and helping her son pack for scout camp. When she took the cake from the oven, the center had dropped flat and the cake was horribly disfigured and she exclaimed, "Oh dear, there is not time to bake another cake!" So, being inventive, she looked around the house for something to build up the center of the cake. She found it in the bathroom - a roll of toilet Paper. She plunked it in and then covered it with icing. Not only did the finished product look beautiful, it looked perfect. And, before she left the house to drop the cake by the church and head for work, Alice woke her daughter and gave her some money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the moment it opened at 9:30 and to buy the cake and bring it home. When the daughter arrived at the sale, she found the attractive, perfect cake had already been sold. Amanda grabbed her cell phone and called her mom.Alice was horrified-she was beside herself! Everyone would know! What would they think? She would be ostracized,talked about, ridiculed!All night, Alice lay awake in bed thinking about people pointing fingers at her And talking about her behind her back. The next day, Alice promised herself she would try not to think about the cake And would attend the fancy luncheon/bridal shower at the home of a fellow church member and try to have a good time. She did not really want to attend because the hostess was a snob who more than once had looked down her nose at the fact that Alice was a single parent and not from the founding families of Tuscaloosa, but having already RSVP'd, she couldn't think of a believable excuse to stay home. The meal was elegant, the company was definitely upper crust old south, and to Alice 's horror, the cake in question was presented for dessert! Alice felt the blood drain from her body when she saw the cake! She started out of her chair to tell the hostess all about it, but before she could get to her feet, the Mayor's wife said, "what a beautiful cake!" Alice, still stunned, sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a prominent church member) say, "Thank you, I baked it myself." Alice smiled and thought to herself, "God is good."
