The Plaque
This moment…
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.
A simple, special, memorable moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.
If you are inspired to do the same–leave us a link in the comments.
Happy weekend everyone.

Lake Front Property
If you’ve been around a while–around this blog, I mean–then you may remember a post about our silly, floody house–that all the kids grew up in. If you need a refresher here’s the very post.
At any rate–I recently found this picture of old Daney-boy doing a heroic dive and slide–on our front lawn–to prove to his posterity that we did indeed survive a couple of pretty terrific floods. What you’re missing is how much of that water was pouring into our basement window at the very same time. After a while we learned to set everything downstairs on 2 x 4’s so when the next down pour came along–it couldn’t mercilessly soak all my stuff—from the ground up.
Well, that is–except my kids.
:]

Crazy People
What is it about those silly photo booths…
that takes normally, serious, level headed, rational people…
and turns them into complete and total…
nut jobs?
Oh, alright…perhaps we were half way there to begin with.
Just saying.

Caramel Corn Puffs
Dude. These are hard to describe…caramel-y…buttery…puffy…extremely perishable. In fact, they didn’t last a day at our place. HA!
One word of warning though–there is severe addiction potential with these little guys–so nibble mindlessly at your own risk…and don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Caramel Corn Puffs
Ingredients:
1- 16 oz. bag Corn Puffs
1 cup butter
1 cup corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsps. baking soda
Pour the puffs into a large bowl with enough room to mix them around. Mix Butter, corn syrup and brown sugar in a sauce pan. Cook for about 2 minutes or until mixture gets bubbly around the edges of the pan. Remove from heat, add the baking soda and stir. Pour hot caramel over the corn puffs and stir from the bottom of the bowl to evenly coat them.
Place in an oven on 250 degrees for about 45 minutes–stirring about every 10-15 minutes or so. Remove from oven and allow to cool on wax paper. Break up the clusters while they are cooling so that they are bite sized pieces.
Nibble away.
heh, heh, heh…
