Awesome art by HollyG!!!

These are pics of art that my friend Holly Gilmour has made. I suggest going to her blog(http://misshollyhoolahoop.blogspot.com/) and checking out what she does. Her stuff is so adorable and well done. The bird painting is a piece that she made for me when I was leaving Toronto. I once had a dream about a bird wearing cowboy boots.

Very cute!!!

Pics of Frank!!

Here are some pics of Frank. I was chilling on the couch, I grabbed Franks Binkey(a shawl that my mom made me) to lure him over. Of course he came over! Loves his Binkey!! I grabbed him and placed him on his back(he likes to sit like people) and put his Binkey on him like a blanket. It was adorable. His feets were sticking out the bottom. We laughed so hard.
The two other photos are of Frank laying on the kitchen floor. James was tossing pieces of newspaper on him. He just laid there. One landed on his face! Oh Frank!!

Healthy lunch!!

Here is a picture of a quick and easy lunch that I made last week. I am trying my very hardest to eat better. This meal was Quinoa with veggies. I cooked the Quinoa which took about 20 to 30 minutes(cooked very much like rice). I chopped garlic coarsely, I really like big pieces of garlic, then some mushrooms, broccoli and celery. Put this in a pan with olive oil. Seasoned the veggies with some spicy pepper mix, salt&pepper and put in about a 1/3cup of water. Covered, lowered heat and let steam for about 10 to 15 minutes. I mixed it all together with some soy sauce. It was deelish!! Very filling. Fiber in the Quinoa and veggies. Iron in the broccoli. Need to try and lower the sodium though. Soy sause is pretty high in sodium. Just make sure to drink your water!!

Easter dinner!!

I dyed eggs for Easter. It was fun and made me happy every time I opened the eggs! I want to dye the eggs all of the time! I also put a roast beef in the slow cooker with some veggies. I then made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I had never made a cake from scratch. It turned out pretty good! Baking is a lot easier than I thought it was! I made a soup with the left over beef and veggies. I also put in Quinoa(Keen-wah), which is a great alternative to rice or pasta. It is a wheat and isn't as heavy as the other two. Buy already rinsed Quinoa to skip a step.

Daffodils!!

Here are some pics of the Daffodils in the garden and in the kitchen.

Dart board!!

James' mom gave us her dart board. It is so cool to have this dart board in our house because I remember it from my childhood. Every house she lived in it was there. She is really good at darts, actually she is really good at all pub style games. We put it up in the kitchen. We have already put 6 holes in the wall and a hole in the kitchen table!!

A big pile of rocks?!

I haven't posted in awhile. I deleted my facebook and ever since haven't been on the internet that much. I check my email but that is about it. NOT ANY MORE!! I want to post a lot more on this blog. We have been doing a lot of things outside. We cleaned up the big pile of rocks. That's right, there was a big pile of rocks to clean up. I think I have a picture of it. Wait. I will look for it. I found it. That pile was in the front yard. James took out the stone fireplace in the living room, like a year or more ago, he piled the rocks just off the front deck. We got a wheel barrel(barrow). It is so handy to have one. Who knew!! The rocks have been moved to the back yard. I weeded the garden. I also dug up one of the smaller gardens. I pulled out the biggest root of all time. That garden is going to be the vegetable garden. I have to go somewhere and buy some seeds and start to grow them inside. I found Frank laying in the garden a couple of times. He also tried to pee in one of the gardens. Stupid cat. I read somewhere that you can put lemon peels in the garden to keep cats out. He has found a patch of wild mint outside that he goes nuts over. He licks, eats and rubs his face all over it! Too cute!!!
