My Europe Scrapbook

Finished this a few weeks ago...(about 4 years after the

trip =D) It has 78 scrapbooked pages in it...the pictures

below and above only show a hand-full of whats inside, so some of

the journaling doesn't make sense without seeing the whole

thing!

What we're sending Landon for his 4th Birthday

Anna...just so you can see what we're sending Landon.
This is one of dad's models he decided to give to
Landon. It is delicate but Landon can play with
it. He was so careful when they were here with
all of dad's collection!



Found this little play outfit today I thought was pretty
cute and it should keep Landon warm this winter. They
already are having cold weather there.

Our Beautiful Sunset This Evening...

Out on Lake Havasu

Daniel looking into the sun...beautiful day...

90 degrees!

Another gorgeous day on the lake

I-pod, Sunshine, Boat...life is good!

Heading into the Channel

Going into the channel toward the London Bridge

The London Bridge

Ready to head under the bridge...

Afternoon on the boat on Lake Havasu

Light up on the London Bridge
This boat was used in the newly filmed-upcoming movie
out next spring...Filmed right here on the Lake and in
the town...aptly named: "Lake Victoria" instead of Lake
Havasu. It's supposed to be a current-day version of
"JAWS" in 3-D. Putting Havasu on the map!


A neat looking boat built this past year.

A fountain you pass just after going under the bridge.

Looking up at the bridge as we passed under it.

Afternoon out on Lake Havasu

The flags on London Bridge...very patriotic!

London Bridge Resort...

Another part of the resort.

Heading down the channel

Out into Thompson Bay...

Our afternoon on Lake Havasu

Just coming into Thompson Bay...

People were swimming in the 70 degree water...kinda chilly.

Thompson Bay

Out on the lake

Back into the Marina where we launch the boat

and come in. A lovely day of boating...too bad

Malia had to work!

Daily Dose of "D"

Tom out reading the paper

and enjoying the close to

80 degree weather this

beautiful Fall October 7th.

Jack is looking on and

enjoying his Dose of Vitamin

D as well!

MOON, PRETTY MOON...

If it were a ball...

I would bounce it.

If it were a donut...

I'd drool on it.

If it were a pizza...
I'd eat it.

If it were a button...

I'd sew it on my skirt.

If it were a quarter...

I'd spend it.

If it were a marshmallow...

I'd roast it on an open fire.

If it were a marble...

I'd display it.

If it were my eyeball...

I'd look through it.

If it were my headlight...

I'd see my direction.

If it were my pill...

I'd swallow it.

If it were my CD...

I'd listen to it.

If it were my wedding band...

I'd wear it.

If it were the letter "O"...

I'd use it to spell MOON.

It's our beautiful MOON

And I'm thankful for God's

provision of it...a guiding light

at night...and the thought that

there will be another tomorrow!

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN

2.5 lb. bag Tyson's chicken breast tenderlions

1/3 - 1/2 c. Egg Beaters

Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

(I add some Seasoning salt in place of salt)

1 - 2 7oz. cans whole mild green chiles

(half or third them after rinsing out seeds)

1 c. low-fat (2%) grated Mexican blend cheese

2 - 3 T. light or fat-free Mayo

Mix Egg Beaters and spices into a bowl. Spray fry

pan with "Pam". Dip each tenderlion into egg mixture

and "fry" in hot skillet or fry pan 4 minutes on each

side (approx). Once all the chicken is browned lay-out onto

cookie sheet or large casserole pan. Lay 1/3 of green

chile on each piece of chicken (it will just cover each

piece quite nicely). Mix together grated cheese and

mayo. Add approximately a heaping teaspoon of cheese

mixture on each piece of chicken to cover all the pieces.

(See pictures above). Bake at 350 oven for 30 minutes.

This is really good and very low-calorie.

YES IT IS...YES I DID TAKE IT...

This rattlesnake slithered onto our driveway as Tom

and I got home from the gym. It was dark outside and

appeared his tail (the rattler) had been run over by a

car...sure enough...so he wasn't as quick as they norm-

ally can be...so with flashlight and camera in hand (my

part) and Tom with a flashlight and shovel (his part)

did away with this fella and put him in the wash that

runs by our house. I took these pictures but didn't

show the squashed "rattle".

Gratitude

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more. It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

I can turn a meal into a feast,

a house into a home, a stranger

into a friend. Gratitude makes

sense of our past, brings peace for

today, and creates a vision for

tomorrow."
