It's been a while since I've been on here. I didn't want to do a bunch of really small posts.
Father's Day was really hard on me. I was extremely emotional. I kept tearing up at the smallest things because I was missing both of my parents so much. I wish I could pick up the phone just to hear their voices. Everyone out there, please keep in touch with your parents and grandparents, you never know how long you have with them.
Good news, because of my sister being diagnosed with breast cancer before her 40th birthday, I have had a couple of mammograms since I was in my early 30's. My last one was this week. Everything looks great and I do not have to go back until I'm 40. YAY!
I have been working on my cookbook. I got a TON of cookbooks from my mom's collection which added to the TON I already had. So, now, I'm compiling all of them into one big book. Plus, I've added some family recipes. It's a lot of work but, hopefully, one day, it will be done enough where I can print it out and then add recipes to it as I find them. It will take a long time thanks to Pinterest.com. I keep finding stuff on there.
I decided that I was going to learn how to make tamales. I knew it was going to be a lot of work but what I didn't know was that Ron would get stuck on them and want me to keep making them again and again and again. LOL I've made them with beef, pork, chicken, and veggies. I tried shrimp but it didn't work out so well. I've been making them almost every other weekend for a couple of months. At least I've had lots of practice. HA
I haven't been doing much scrapbooking, but I've been doing other crafts. Again, thank you Pinterest.com. LOL. I've made a holder for my iPhone for when it's plugged in, a teabag wreath, a couple of coupon books, and have more projects that I'll be doing soon.
I guess that's all of the little tidbits I have for now. Sorry if it sounded as if I was rambling. I hope everyone is well.
Love to all!
