My days

Hello again, this blogging thing has been harder to keep up with than I thought.  So what have I been doing with my time so far this year?  Playing a silly pirate game on FaceBook, but most of you know about my pirate fascination and if you don't, you will.  I have been to the Lost Soul Pirate in Key West, they have one of only 2 known to exist "REAL" pirate flags to flown over a pirate ship(Angel was less than impressed).  I have toured the Pirate fort in Nassau, sailed through the harbor of the sunken city of Port Royal, Jamaica.  Hey, I think some you are not sharing my enthusiasm. 

Oh well, I have also continued to sort thru things at my Dads house and what did I find.  Pictures, lots of pictures.  See if you can remember the day.

My dad has had a rough time lately, he has a small cancerous tumor on his pancreas.  Sundaye, Digger and I attended a doctors appointed today with him, more doctors to come.  We currently are unsure what will be the best treatment for him, but he was in good spirits today and not too annoyed to be taken to yet another doctor.  On a better thought, one of Dads favorite desserts is Cherry Delight.  A few years ago I made this for his birthday, a double batch so as company came to visit he would have enough to share.  Later that evening I talked with Digger, Digger told me he had been at Dads for a few hours watching a ball game.  I asked "how did the cherry delight taste?", Digger replied he didn't see it in the frig.  Dad had stashed it behind somethings and was intent on eating the whole thing himself.  Here's the easy throw it together and run recipe, with a store bought crust. 

1 package cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 container cool whip

1 9 inch grahmcracker crust

1 can cherry pie filling

Beat the first 3 items together, fold in the 4th, pour into crust, top with cherry pie filling.

Then enjoy.  Quick and easy.  Enough for now.

Peace and Love

Resolutions

New Years Resolutions
1)  Digger and I have a little weight loss bet going.  He has to lose 15 lb.s and I have to lose 25 by April 1st.
     Who ever doesn't make their goal has to buy dinner, Red Lobster, I know why bet food for weight loss.
    It had to be something worth winning.
2)  I really need to paint more and with things finally quieting down in life no good excuse not to.

So does anyone else make resolutions?  Nows the time to post them, time share.

Here's a picture of Digger, Megan and Tammy.

Spent plenty of time with Angel over the holidays, along with Digger, Tammy and Tom, playing cards and eating stuff that I hadn't been eating for a longgggggg time. 

Not much else going on here, cold and snowy.  I think I was meant to live in a warmer climate.  None of my gotta root for teams made it to bowl games, so I've had to live vicariously thru everyone else's team.  But I still have Colt's, unless they decide to keep throwing games away.  I would be PO'd to spend that much money to go see a game and watch the 3rd string QB play.  I guess I'm old fashion, but any game worth playing, is worth playing to win.

Hope the New Year is treating everyone well.
Peace and Love
