The movie Seven Pounds...WOW

We watched it last night...oh my goodness what a wonderful movie..

Will Smith is one of my favorite actors...he is amazing.

Everyone should see this movie....I can't say much because, a lot of the movie

you're not quite sure what is going on, even though your mind is racing

to what is about...expect to be quite moved in this one..

Just a wonderful movie..I highly recommend it...even for kids.

we didn't let Jon see it yet, as it is rated PG-13 but I would let him see it now,

even though he would probably get bored with some of it...just an amazing movie.

Happy EARTH DAY....

Hey again and a Happy Earth Day to you all

go out and hug a tree lol really...put your back up against it..spine to bark

and feel the energy within that tree...they are quite alive..

and love giving us oxygen and beautiful art from nature...as well as

incredible shade...on those hot summer days.

I have several tree in the circle part of my circle drive..as my front

door is about 85 ft from the street..and when all the trees are in full bloom,

I feel like my home is back in the woods...just so cool.

I truly love trees..and when we bought this property...I wanted to be sure

they didn't cut down many trees..only what was necessary to get our home in place.

Our backyard would be a Home and Garden TV...challenge...it takes a lot of time

and money to get landscaping done really well..but we're working on it,

the last couple of years we didn't do much in the back..of our .66 acre property, but

we will this year...including rebuilding most of our back deck.

all in time...patience Stef....lol

This is also a wonderful day to plant something wonderful in your garden

or yard..I will be planting at least 2 little bushes in front of my home...and even

though I am on vacation day 3 of 6 ...I have been very busy around my home

and doing errands..wow..I would def be busy all day if I didn't have to work,

and would love every minute of it...maybe one day heh...

Today will be for the earth stuff...weeding and planting..just playing in the dirt..

if you will...we are buying a new push mower with power driven wheels that

will help get us through...we seem to not have good luck with lawn mowers..

but this will change....the energy for that is changing NOW..lol

I wish you all beautiful happy safe EARTH DAY

much love

Stef

Adding a little ooompa...to those pancakes..

Hey and good morning

oh what a gorgeous morning it is ..

wow..I just love Carolina blue skys so pretty.

I hope the wind is gone today..

well the John Deere needs the motor rebuilt.. I know..have no idea what happened

but that will be about $400..hey it's just money lol

so we will be pushing the lawn for a while.

but good exercise right!!

Ok to add a little ooompa to your pancakes..(which by the way I use HungryJack

just add water, delicious) you know those little pouches of muffins mixes...

banana nut...chocolate...bran ..berry...etc...well when you pour your pancake mix

into the bowl and I never measure...but I have a great wisk..$12..Pampered Chef..

but I add about a half of a pouch of any flavor (love the banana nut) of the muffin

mix right into the pancake mix, wisk that together really good.

and then add my water...I add a little bit of water, to get everything wet..

then start wisking..then add some more and wisk a lot...then I add more water

and wisk until the right consistancy for pancake mix..

then just cook up those pancakes...will be delicous..sometimes I dont' even use

syrup..just a little butter.

I have made many mickey mouse pancakes too..and minnie mouse lol

enjoy...
