The intricacies of Burke Waldron

After I sold my car, we needed to take Fred's car to the dealer for oil change & stuff. So we ended up borrowing my Dad's Camry. If you don't already know it, my Dad is all about comfort and customizing things to his taste. So his dashboard has been customized. The dash wasn't lit up enough, so he added these little spotlights.

Next his custom GPS stand.


Then his custom wiring.

Here is a closeup of the tiny spotlights he installed.

Here is his auxilliary unit for whatever he wants to add to his plug ins. 
You can only imagine what his work van looks like. This is what makes him unique and wonderful too.

It's baaacccckkkk!


Today Fred & I went back to our storage unit and brought our stuff back. It does look so much better boxed up though. I'm actually quite pleased that we have done so well to get lots done ahead of time. We are still waiting for the appraisal....hoping that all goes well. The Inspection was a breeze. Thank you Fred for all your hours of work and worry.

We even have a moving sale date set for next Saturday the 11th. I can't believe we are actually somehow making that happen. I didn't think it was possible. All of Fred's predictions are coming to pass. Shame on me for doubting.

We have a pile of moving sale stuff started too. Fred is working on the garage and shed today.

I've gone and done it!


Yesterday was the first time I have ever experienced Blu Berry Yogurt....I was impressed and know that I will be returning. There are too many options that simply do not go together. They must be selected in their own group of yumminess! Thank you Debbie for the treat.

A few more keepsakes about to bite the dust

These are my Thanksgiving Pilgrims that I made about 25 years ago.
Aren't they the cutest? I have hung them on our front door all these years.
I didn't hang them out this year.
My new front door won't accomodate these little darlings.
I think I'm putting them in the giving away.




Scott made us this poster of his accomplishments. I think it might have been a Mother's Day gift for me.
He makes us proud still to this day. He has checked off some important accomplishments during his life.
We look forward to more .


Little Scott about 5 years old.

Pizza Casserole


Today on Facebook someone posted this recipe. It looked yummy so I tried it.

Pizza Casserole
1 - 16 oz rotini pasta
1 lb - Italian Sausage
1 - 20 oz jar pasta sauce
1 - 16 oz cottage cheese
1 - 2 1/2 oz can sliced olives
1 - 4 oz can mushrooms, drained
12 oz mozzarella cheese
2 - 3oz packages sliced pepperoni

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9x13
Cook pasta. Brown sausage. Mix in pasta and sauce. Pour in casserole dish. Mix cottage cheese, olives, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese. Spoon cheese mixture over sausage/pasta mixture. Top with pepperoni slices. Bake 25 minutes or until bubbly & slightly brown.

Before
After
It was tasty, but if I would make it again I would try to intensify the flavor a bit. I used the Prego spaghetti sauce from Costco....so it tasted a lot like everything else I make. So maybe your own pizza sauce would be tastier. I don't think I used as much pepperoni as it called for. I had to dab off the grease on those little slices. So I would recommend snazzing it up with the things that you would do to a homemade pizza. I did love all the cheese!
