So wait in suspense until I have time to upload the pictures and write story...trust me, it will be thrilling, super intriguing, a story of awe and wonder...or maybe it will just be a story about a SPONGE....you will never know until you tune in again for my next blog post.

Harvest time.

Webcam 101 for Seniors....

I had to share this video- webcam 101 for seniors...it is quite hilarious
But I guess at some point and time the elderly do need to learn how to use technology.
Anyways I guess I haven't blogged in awhile, but for now this will have to do until I can think of something else to blog about.

Summer and watermelons and....ROLLKUCHEN!

Rollkuchen Cooking in the fryer....yummy...

End result...Rollkuchen and a nice tasty watermelon.

I had been pondering for awhile what to write about when i came across a blog called Mennonite Girls can cook....(shocker...mennonite girls can cook!...haha) But I was googling Rollkuchen and how to make it. I haven't had any yet and the summer is almost half over. Google took me to that blog and honestly there are like hundreds upon hundreds of recipes on that blog (it's crazy!) And no not all are mennonite recipes but there are tons of recipes if you like to cook.
the website is:

So I am craving some Rollkuchen. (It's healthy too- My fitness Pal told me it's only 52 calories for one) So I can have some, ok maybe one.....haha
See I am in the midst of a diet (trying to lose some weight). So I figured I would open My fitness pal app on my cellphone and check and see if it had some mennonite foods and lo and behold it recognized what Rollkuchen was and how many calories per serving...What are the chances of that happening?
The website is:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

This website is crazy amazing. It is also available as an app on the iphone and samsung galaxy phone. You input your weight and it calculates for you how many calories in a day you can have. And you keep up with it by putting in what you eat at all three meals, how much water you drink, and how much you exercise etc. each day and it keeps track of it as a log. You can also input your weight changes and it graphs it for you. You can find almost any food as there are over 700,000 types of food on myfitness pal. You can log in on your phone and then also log in online and all your information is there. It is amazing. Plus it kind of keeps me chained to my diet as its in my cellphone.
So my new addiction is myfitnesspal....move over angry birds....lol
Now off to find a recipe so I can actually cook some of this scrumptous Rollkuchen....I can hardly wait to taste it!

It's a lickety Splickety kind of day....

I figured I should update my blog so you know that I am still here....I am not gone...I am just not very good at keeping my blog up to date. I promise new pictures to come soon of my latest adventures around here...I realize I haven't been very good at keeping up with my 365 photo project on facebook either...So I will find something interesting to update my blog with soon...

One of these things is not like the others.....

((I do not quote seseame street often but this song is fitting for my blog today))
"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong.
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song.
Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely....right..."

ITS THE SCOOTER!
Yes she risked her neck to squeeze past my car on the road as I awaited a red light and squeeze next to the truck parked infront of me at the red light. I feel like submitting this to the local paper....maybe the police showing them how careless and wreckless these little old scooter driving grandmas and grandpa's really are.
I wonder if it'll take someone dying for someone to take notice of our SCOOTER problem.
Maybe I should have labelled this blog "Encounters of the Scooter People".

Why?

Good read, good stories...I packed so many of these books my finger tips are shiny like plastic. I wonder what would happen if they finger printed me? Would my finger prints show up anymore? My fingers are sore, many have cuts....paper cuts...my left hand is sore from stuffing these books into bags.

I encourage you if you've never heard of the Why Encounter to inquire and get a book and read the book. It's full of heart felt stories and challenging questions.

As sore as my fingers and hands are, it was worth it. Pretty soon people will reading this book and asking questions and hopefully finding the answers they seek to why am I on this earth?
