Oh Baby Baby!

Now this always up lifts ones spirits to see the birth of a young person
so full of life, dreams and hopes.
An innocent unaware of the world except what you show it.
A little being only wishing to be loved and hugged and kissed.

What an incredible gift to human kind. :)

I got a letter from my sister. She just had a baby. But she didn't say whether it's a boy or girl. So I don't know if I'm an uncle or an aunt.

Dewey and Odell met on the Brownsville main street. "Say," said Dewey, "Ah hurd yew and yore wife is goin' ta night school ta take Spanish lessons. How cum?" "Uh huh," answered Odell. "We went and adopted us a little Mexican baby, and we wanna be able ta understand him when he gets old enough ta talk!"

Mum, are the Smiths very poor people? I don't think so, Jimmy. Why do you ask? Because they made such a fuss when their baby swallowed a coin

Who is bigger - Mrs Bigger or Mrs Bigger's baby? Mrs Bigger's baby, because he's a little Bigger.

BABY DISCIPLINE - watch more funny videos

This video was enjoyable lol

Today I looked through my recipes.
I made soup with cous cous meat balls, potatoes and veggies. The bouillon came out delicious and with a side of basmati rice my fellas enjoyed it .
I used to buy parboiled rice but now changed to basmati cause it smells so nice and is so easy to cook
I love it.

I also made crepes with a
wonderful recipe which did not make them stick to the pan
What a pleasure to cook when they behave. in the pan.

I stuffed the crepes with a meat and rice filling ( we are not fasting like we're supposed to)
fried them a bit and ate them with sour creme.

Yesterday my sisterinlaw taught me how to make canneloni from scratch
So I made the rectangles required and then the ricotta spinach with mozzarella filling

I rolled the filling into the the rectangles and covered them with a tomato sauce , also made from scratch to bake
They turned out delicious and I think she is right. Once you do it this way
you will never go back to store bought lazagna or cannelloni noodles. or even egg noodles.

Home made is the best .

The evening ended with Jesus in the Best Story Ever told Part one.
on the vision channel .
You have to admit, whether you believe or not, it is the best story ever told.
Its a part of history which tells of how man was inhuman to man and why
a person such as Jesus was needed to bring hope to the forlorn.

He made people feel they didn't have to feel bad not having anything and that the world,
the planet provided everything man needs

If you go into nature, you find these words to be true.
You can make shoes out of tree bark, clothing out of animal leather and skins.
you can find roots, berries, fish, fruit, medicine.

Everything is provided for you and yet man kind is not happy and mass produces food and people over pay to eat chemicals rather than fresh from the ground.

I made the sandwiches for my husband to take to work and prepared the coffee pot to just be turned on in the morning, so I guess my day is done.

Good Night and sleep tight and watch out for them bed bugs lol

Thailand Elephant Chair

I got one for myself because I thought it would be a great conversation piece when I got back home.
I had no idea I would be using it for a crib but it sure paid off.

You use foam for the mattress and to put around the sides.
Like a baby basket (which I also made with lace and padding to bring my baby home from the hospital) you can turn it into something truly joyous.

The open side you place against the wall. There is more than enough room for a baby to sleep in for about 2-3 even 4 years but usually after 1 1/2 they tend to go into either a bunk, twin or a double bed and then you are left with a crib you have no use for.

The Elephant chair could be used as a coffee table, which it is now and I also used it for decoration and picture taking.
It is great to put in a doll display, stuffed toys. books, magazines and other displays you want people to see through glass.

Fill it with cushions and kids will still like to climb into it to watch TV, imagining they are sitting atop a huge elephant.

Before long, you find them curled up and sleeping like angels.
They never have nightmares sleeping in this ol chair because so many stories can be invented sitting beside it, and they go to sleep, heroes on a great adventure. (Like something out of a Never Ending Story)

If you have guests with babies, well the good ol elephant chair becomes a crib again because it is so easy to store the padding for it.

Anyway... this is my elephant chair. I enjoyed it so much and have great memories from it.

And besides.....you never know when an elephant may decide to pop in and give you a ride .lol
