Shogun

I have gotten several comments on my new blog look. Thank you! I did not do it! Kelly did it! She is my blog manager. All I do is post pictures and write. Kelly does everything else. I apologize if I don't have you on my favorites list, but I don't know how. I could learn it in a minute, but I have never been taught, sooooo Kelly is the behind the scenes girl for my blog. Thank you Kelly! What would I do without you? As my mother says, "The Lord sent you to me."


On a different note........... We tried to go to Shogun tonight with the girls. "Try" is the key word here. Steve had his doubts on what Emily would think of the fire and knives and all that. I kept saying. "oh she will love it!" Ha! We go in and the table beside us had a flame that hit the ceiling and knives clicking and chopping. Emily freaked out and started yelling, " I WANT TO GO HOME!" "LET'S GO!" Of course we had placed our drink order and all that. Then Emily starting yelling that she did not want to see the scary man. That is what she was calling the chef. Everyone in Shogun knew we were there and everyone was glad to see us go. I was mad because I had my mouth set on teriyaki chicken. As we walked back to the car, Emily knew I was mad and the kept saying, "I sorry, I sorry Mama, I was scared.....I sorry. " I did feel pretty sorry for her at that point. We ended up in a kid friendly place with just about as good of food. Emily's behavior was near perfect. I think she was just glad not to be in the "scary place" as she calls it now.

Poor Emily, I can see why the knife men could be scary. I wish she would have made it to the onion choo choo - that might have made it better!

Oh Laurie - what a night! I loved hearing about it though. Isn't it funny how some things you think they are going to love and they don't and some things you know they won't like at all and they love. I guess to keep us hopping. I too love the new look of the blog! Kelly did a great job.

Thank you for posting that story, I needed that today. It was funny in a sad way! Poor little Emily! You may NEVER get her in Shogun again!!! My husband isn't big on Shogun so if I was in Ark, I would go with you.
Now, I have to ask, what is Kelly talking about? What could have possibly happened at the Western Sizzin???? Haha!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
