Goodbye 335

I'm a little sad right now. My parents are 99% sure they are moving to a different house. I'm sure it's the right thing to do but it makes me sad. This house is a part of me. It's got so many memories. I've been in this house since I was 6...that's 31 years. Hannah and Dawson have known no other house. The grandkids only know this house. I'm going to miss this house tremendously. It's hard to think of anyone else being here. I'm going to miss the pool LOTS! I'll also miss the gorgeous view. Every room in this house holds so many memories for me. It's hard to believe this will be the last summer here. I know mom and dad are getting older and need to downsize but it's so sad. Everyone is going to really miss this house! My dad has wanted to sell it a few times through the years but my mom couldn't bear to do it because of all the memories. I guess now's the time. They already have a buyer and they are great people. It's hard to imagine anybody else in here, though. Abby was so funny yesterday when Nana told her...she said, "WHAT!!! You didn't ask me first!". HA! :) We all feel like we own this house. Mom and Dad have always made us feel like this was still our house, even after we got married. I actually spend as much time here as I do my own house. Hannah and Rosie are here now and when they're here, I am too! :) I love that baby! We went to Ravyille on Saturday. That house is amazing! It's over 100 years old and it's staying in the family. Lamar has grown up there, too. It's Dan's now. I'll write more about our Rayville trip later. I'm waiting on Lamar to call. He should be getting through right about now. More later.

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...
Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
