Ann's Plate

So it is once again time for our annual "houseboater's brunch" and we are heading to Waukon tomorrow morning to stay with friends Kevin & Ann. Last year I was doing up dishes while Ann was at church and I broke her dish that she uses for quiche and to heat up cinnamon rolls and whatever. Well I searched on the internet and such for a while to replace it and then kind of forgot about it once we had another boating season go by. But since we are staying with them again I decided I was going to find something comparable to give to Ann to replace the one I broke. The closest I could find unless I wanted metal was this dish from Target. It is actually a pie plate but I think it will work. And the Captain Morgan will help when I'm begging for her forgiveness (Ann loves rum)! And I'm going to tell her I refuse to do dishes while there this time, too. Can't wait to see everyone at the brunch. Think Spring!!

Well, it's no match but it is pretty! And the rum will go
along way to looking like a match.

Iowa Blizzard 2009

Image
Here are a few pictures I took at my work the morning after our lovely Iowa blizzard last week. The snow was 27 inches in front of our office door and the snow was unbelievable all around the building. It was so tall it almost completely covered up the gas pumps. Maybe that will be the last big snow storm of the year. Think we could get that lucky?????? We can hope but I think we are doomed since this is Iowa and that was our first of the year! Everyone stay warm!

Ty Football 2010

Image
So finally remembered to take the camera to Ty's game Friday night and snap some pictures. We won 45-0 and Ty had 3 TD's but one was called back. I don't know what his class will think when/if they ever lose. They haven't lost a game since grade school. Wouldn't that be awesome if they never did lose one? I think our varsity team will be a force to be reckoned with when they are juniors and seniors. Not saying that the varsity team currently isn't. They haven't lost this year either. Love football season but sad to see summer almost over! Go Wapsie Valley Warriors!

Congratulations Kyle & Taylor

Image
 Friday night after the game Kyle proposed to Taylor and she said yes!  We have a new engagement in the family and couldn't be happier for them both.  I even got to be in on the secret and play an important role for Kyle.  Since he was coaching he of course couldn't just leave the game, so he enlisted Mom to go to his car unnoticed right before the end and grab the ring case out of the glove box and the long stem rose out of a cooler in the trunk.  I was pretty sneaky apparently because Taylor didn't even notice that I left.  Of course I stayed away from her somewhat on purpose so I wouldn't open my mouth and let something slip to give it away.  Kyle looked over to me right after the game ended and I shook my head "yes" to let him know I didn't let him down.  He grabbed Tyler and Taylor's brother off the field and said "follow me".  Then he just dropped to a knee and proposed.  I didn't have time to recruit a friend to take some pictures
