Babes in Toyland
Christmas was wonderful. Santa was way to good to us this year. Bob is here with his new toy. Bob has a new "Real Flight" flight simulator. This new hobby could be dangerous. You can fly in and out of airports right from your own home. I think the planes and helicopters are coming next. His eyes lite up like those of a child. How wonderful!!!!!!

Retired...Now I Have A Life
Well, it is official!!!!!! As of Friday, December 12, 2008, the "Hunk" is now retired. After many years of working, tons of adventures and stories, jobs he liked and didn't like so much, he is smiling again. It is wonderful to see him smile. There is a new "calm" around him. He is a different man. His days ahead will be filled with new experiences, fun, learning, and an afternoon nap. We will keep you posted on his adventures.

Let's Eat
You will love this rich pizza-flavored dip. It is loaded just like your favorite pizza would be. It is simple to make and fun to eat.
Pepperoni Pizza Dip
1 Package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained and chopped
1 can chopped ripe olives, drained, (use the 4-1/4 ounce can)
1/3 cup chopped onion
24 slices pepperoni, chopped
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Assorted crackers
1. Spread the cream cheese into an ungreased 9-in microwave-safe pie plate. Top with olives, mushrooms, onion, pepperoni, pizza sauce and mozzarella.
2. Microwave, uncovered, at 70% power for 7-10 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with crackers.
Yields 8-10 servings.
Now that I am sharing this recipe, I realize that I never chopped the pepperoni. I just put it in a nice design on the top of the layer below. Chopping would have made it easier to get it on the cracker. Guess what, they ate it anyway, and liked it.
Hope you do too!!!

All in the Family
Families are like quilts, lives pieced together, stitched with memories, and bound by love. We had the opportunity to visit with our family out "West" for a very happy occasion, our niece's wedding. Where did all those years go? It seems like just yesterday they were so small. We had a great time. We wish that we could have spent more time with everyone but there is always another time. For now, it was great to see everyone.

A Place in the Sun
The "Hunk" loves the California coast line. On our recent trip, we were able to visit Pier 39, The Wharf, and Carmel. The pic's in the show feature the seals on the pier. They have completely taken over the boat slips. They are so much fun to watch. For me, it is the best cheap entertainment. I can stand there and watch for hours. I know you have a hard time believing that since I am not an animal lover. But they do fascinate me. I think up all kinds of stories on what they must be thinking. The houses is the show are found at Carmel. They looked unusual so we snapped a shot or two. Be sure to check out "Dracula". He is in one of the pictures.
