Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday week-end! If you are like us you ate way to much! But its always nice to socialize with your friends and family and to give thanks. We'll just have to hit the gym extra hard this week!

For me, today will be another lazy Sunday. I'll hang out on the computer for a little while and then I'll do a little cooking so the boys in the house don't do any complaining about not having something to eat. They get a little cranky when their tummy starts to growl.

My husband Bob has plans of waxing the cars down today. He's a car fanatic. He enjoys washing and waxing the vehicles. Fortunately I benefit from it because I never have to drive around in a dirty car. So I continue to encourage him with his washing and waxing. Its good exercise for him to. :-)

He's planning on waxing the 48 again today so I thought I would post a couple of pictures of the car for you. Its a 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster. We have a lot of fun with it. We've put it in a few car shows but the most fun we have is the Sunday afternoon cruising. It is a very loud car with the pipes we have on it so it gets everyone's attention when we go by. We get a lot of smiles and thumbs up!

Below are a few pictures of the 48. Please send us your thoughts and comments. We would love to hear them.

Just another view of the car at the park.

I hope you enjoyed them. Please let me know what you think. Also check out my website and the Christmas Specials that I have posted. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be very happy to help you!

Hello Everyone!

Today my husband Bob and me are celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary even though we have been together for many years. Four years ago we vacationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. We had a great time and visited Pearl Harbor, the Dole Pineapple Plantation, climbed Diamond Head and hit the beaches. Pearl Harbor was awesome! I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit it. But Diamond Head was a work out! I'm glad I climbed it but I doubt I will ever do it again! It was intense! The Dole Plantation was kind of interesting to. We took a little train ride around the plantation and then we went through their pineapple garden maze. It was in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2001 for being the largest maze. At first it was fun and something new to experience but after awhile it got boring. The reason was probably because I couldn't find my way out. Ha! Ha! Ha! Yep! It was tough. So we ended up giving up and going to get a pineapple ice cream instead. We also attended a Hawaiian Luau while we there. That was a lot of fun to. The day before we were to fly back home we bit the bullet and went and got our marriage license and went to see the judge. It was a done deal after that! :-) I have no complaints though. We also had the pleasure of having our son Kyle there with us.

We don't have any plans for the day so we'll probably just relax around the house today and maybe share a glass of champagne. We thought about going out for dinner tonight but I think I am going to bake an enchilada pie instead so we can just hang out around the house.

Maybe when we hit our ten year anniversary mark we can make that trip back to Hawaii again and renew our vows. That would be fun!

Below are a few pictures from our vacation/marriage when we went to Hawaii.

The three of us on the street taking pictures with beautiful birds. Unfortunately the bird my son Kyle was holding bit off half of the arm on his brand new glasses! I was NOT a happy camper!

Look at their faces! This was halfway up Diamond Head. I told you it was intense!

Beautiful postcard photo once you made it to the top of Diamond Head!

I love this picture! I love how the sun was setting on the water and made it look like a black & white photo.

This is a picture of Kyle in front of the surf board statue on the beach in Waikiki.

Kyle doing the "Shaka" sign which is a common greeting gesture in Hawaii.

Beautiful Peal Harbor Memorial in the background.

We saw many of these trees and thought the look of them were fascinating.

Just another beautiful picture of the Hawaiian scenery!

I hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed sharing them! Please let me know what you think.

Hello Friends & Guests!

Just today I finally got my blog set up. I sure hope it works right on my website with no problems. If you do have any kind of problem please let me know so I can get it fixed.

Ever since I posted "The Sunset Family" page I have gotten a few emails about where I grew up. Yes, I really did have to take a boat to get to my house and yes, I do have some darn good recipes from the south to share with you! I also want to tell you about my sister-in-law Allyson, who is full blooded Cajun. Man! That girl can cook! I don't know how my brother got so darn lucky!

Some of her specialties (or my favorites) are her pecan pralines and seafood pasta. I promise you I will get some or her delicious recipes and post them for you!

Also, I have inserted my most favorite Trace Adkins song called "Muddy Water" if you would like to listen to it. Trace Adkins is performing with 38 Special.
