Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all! I'm wishing you all, a joyful and peaceful Christmas, with your family and friends.
Love, Anne

The Christmas Carol Movie

My family and I had the opportunity to see Disney's new movie, 'A Christmas Carol' over the Thanksgiving weekend.
I would give this movie five stars. My whole family just loved this time classic movie. And it was such a wonderful family movie. It really does set you in the mood for Christmas.
There were ghosts in the story so it probably wouldn't suit very young children around the age of four, I'd say. Infact, there was a toddler who got scared in the movie theatre who did start to cry.
My husband, teenage son, young son and I went to see the movie and we all just loved it.
The best part of the movie was that it was done in 3-D. I just love movies in 3-D.
When the movie first began, it showed you this old time bay window. It was like you were really looking out onto the streets. And when the snow was falling, it was like you were standing in the middle of a snow storm. All you had to do was reach out your hand. And then when scrooge was flying with one of the ghosts over the city, that was awesome. It felt like you were flying right along side of them. The 3-D effects in this movie really was spectacular. I'd even go see it again.
So I give this movie an awesome rating. If you were thinking of going to this movie during this holiday season, don't hesitate. You and your whole family will be glad you went. And you will walk away thinking what a great movie you just seen.
This is a great way to take a break from all of the hustle and bustle of the season.

Post Thanksgiving

I hope all of my bloggy family had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your loved ones. I did the honors of hosting Thanksgiving this year and I think it's safe enough to say that it was our families best year yet! It was so nice to be surrounded by my family and my extended family. And of course, my grandchildren were there. It was just so nice to all be together again.
But it goes by so fast, doesn't it?
Anyway, I wanted to share a cute poem that was in my church newspaper. Sorry this post is a little late. But if you read the previous post, I've had computer problems due to a virus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Twas the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned-the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
Gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.

But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees....
Happy eating to all - pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious.
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs!!

Holiday blessings to each and everyone of you! Love, Anne

Bah Humbug!

Please bare with me. I got a computer virus trying to catch some snow flakes, and I had to reboot my whole computer. Bah humbug! I'm having such difficulty trying to make a single post and my computer is moving so slowly as the updates slowly come in (big sigh, literally). It's taking me hours and hours to do one task. And with the holidays upon us, I just don't have the time to spend hours and hours on my blog. But I finally got all my home decorations finished today and my Christmas shopping is almost to an end. But theres still some baking and cards to write out. Ughh! Where is the joy in Christmas?! And when I mail out my Christmas cards, will they even care? There are a few people whom I am very close with and I am not speaking of them. Because I love them and there very much near and dear to my heart. But the others take time and............stamps.  =)
But anyway, I hope the kick off to the 2009 Christmas season is going smooth for you all! I love you all! And thank you for following my blog!

Still Reading......

Yep, I've still been doing alot of reading. I found a new reading genre that I like and that is literature. I just love literature and I can't seem to get enough of it. And the stories are really good. I was surprised that literature would be something that I would like and truly enjoy reading. See, I'm broadening my horizons. Here are some of the books that I have read lately.

Sleepy Hollow is a short story. I liked it for the fact that I could say, I read it.

Alice Adventures In Wonderland I read with my young son. Again, I'm glad that I can say, I read it.

Ethan Frome I just loved! I read this in a matter of days! Some parts I did not like but the story on a whole was great!

Summer was the best love story I think I ever read in my life. Again, there were parts in the story that I did not like but the feelings that Edith Wharton makes the readers actually feel is why I think I fell in love with this story. You could actually feel the love in the story. I read it in about a weeks time.

And this next one Frankenstein. Oh what a story. I liked it. The man that created the monster was named Frankenstein. I had always thought the monster was Frankenstein. Maybe you all knew that and I was just out to lunch or something. My husband is now thinking about reading it. I hope he does! I'm gently coaxing him. =) But anyway, I would recommend that everyone read this tale of a story despite my review on this book. I liked the book but I didn't like how this guy was in such despair and peril all of the time. And you kept wondering for pretty much to the end of the book when this author was going to cut this guy and us readers a break! This poor fella and what he went through! Geez. But none the less. It was such a good read, I could hardly put the darn book down!

My son and I are still reading Peter Pan. We're more than half through on that one. It's starting to get better as we go. I think I liked Adventures of Alice In Wonderland better.

And now I'm half way through with 'To Kill A Mocking Bird.'

This book was really slow going. My daughter says that she really liked it and that it does get better. I'm sure that I will be finishing it this week because there are so many more books that I have my eye on!

Moby Dick.....Dracula........The Catcher and the Rye......One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. And trust me, the list goes on and on. I'm still reading Edgar Allan Poe. I tapped into some philosophy.....Aesop's Fables. Love, love, love them!

Also Grimm's complete fairy tales.

Did you know that Snow White came from the Grimm brother's fairy tales? I did not know this. I had always thought Disney made up Snow White. Also from the Grimm fairy tales comes The Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel and so much more. I haven't started this big huge book yet but I can't wait. I'm getting excited just thinking about it! Some of those stories I can read to my son.

So that is what I have been up to lately. I have been up to my nose in books! So bring on the snow storms. But not bad enough were I can't drive up to the bookstore.

I'm signing off.........from Peek-A-Boo Street!

Happy Halloween....

Happy Halloween!
Let's all have fun and have a good time. But lets make it our first priority, to make sure, our children are safe!



Mr. Punkin' is keeping a close eye.........

A Thrifty Book Tip

Hello everybody. I just wanted to share a little thrifty tip with you.

I just love to read, as I'm sure there are alot of people out there who do. But as we are well aware of, or...... maybe it's just me, books can be very expensive.

I've seen some books at the thrifty stores. But none that caught my eye. I seen some at the Salvation Army that were good priced but only a couple had caught my eye.

So I went to used book stores and they were selling them for over $10 for hardcover. Not much of a deal for used books.

Well.....hellooooo! I went to my local library. Bingo!!!!!

-Hardcover $1.50

-Softcover 50 cents...

*Note* I just paid for a years subscription on National Geographics. One of my FAVORITE magazines. I got a swell price for $15. w/ a world map.
-magazines @ the library 25 cents!

Hey, so what if I read September's in October!!!! I'm a slow reader anyway. It takes me a long time to finish a book. I'm jealous of folks who can zip through a book in a day or two......like my DAUGHTER!!! I'll give her a book and the next day she'll call and to say that she finished the book. She's a mother of two small boys at that!

-One plastic bag full of books that have a red dot on the binder for $1.00!! Yep, can you believe it?! Hello! Where have I been?!!!! I need to get with the program!!! I've been spending to much time at Barnes and Noble and Borders! So please, visit your libraries for used books to purchase.

At the library I found these two old cookbooks. One was from 1977. I know, I know. But these are time worn classic recipes. And this book was chalked full of 500 recipes and 150 pictures. You just can't find recipe books like this anymore. Where every recipe looks good. The cookbooks they have out now a days, lets face it, you only get a hand full of recipes out of them that you will use. That's why I picked up 'The Family Cookbook.' These books by the way were in fabulous condition.

Also I picked up Better Homes and Gardens, New Dieter's Cook Book. I mean every single page has a photo and recipe on it. The picture I took of the book doesn't show how thick and solid this book is.

There must be at least 300 recipes w/ photos in it!

All of the recipes look so yummy that I can't believe that this book is called The New Dieters Cook Book.

Yep, and these two cookbooks were only $1.50 each.

Was I there at the library looking for cookbooks?............well no. I was looking for short stories, classic literature and poems. And they did have a lot. But none that caught my eye. But how could I pass these two beauties up?!

Talking about beauties........look at this big beauty...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmhmm. Okay. Confession here. So I did get this at Border's. You know how I've been liking that strange ole' Poe guy. When it said 'COMPLETE' tales & poems for...................$7.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! (Gosh, not God, lol!) Well by golly. I could not pass by this steal of a deal!

Border's.........you rock!!!!!!!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Yay. I got this in the BARGAIN section. But you know what? That is good enough for this little ole' lady! Oh by the way. Just a little tid bit. Did you know that October is dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe? Found that out also at my local library.

Ouch!

Well this morning as I was getting on my make up and getting ready to get my son off to school. How many of you ladies use these eye lash curling gadgets?

How many have you turned your head to look at your cute dog in the morning and then there goes your upper lashes? Mmhmm. Pulled out by the roots. I mean, yanked out by the roots. It happened to me this morning. Not a very good thing to happen first thing in the morning.

It's my fault though. This has happened to me before with my fingers slipping into the handles. This one is a Revlon product. I couldn't find the Cover Girl one with the rubbery blue, coated handle, so I grabbed this one instead. Before only a few eye lashes came out. This morning almost half my upper lid of lashes came out. Boy, I do hope they grow back soon. I have to go to church on Sunday. If I glob a little bit more of mascara on, you can't tell to badly. So I'm going to throw this lash curler away and go up to my local drug store and get me back my Cover Girl eye lash curler. Huh. Us woman have to go through so much to look nice, don't we? My husband says he still loves me. Eye lash-less or not. Bless his heart. He better!

If you do have this Revlon lash curler, please use with caution. My fingers just slip on these metal handles.

On another note, I just wanted to show you what I found at the thrift shop the other day.

This miniature tea set was brand new in the box. It's so cute and dainty. If you click on the pic, you will be able to see the roses on it close up. I don't know if you can tell, but the tray it heart shaped. I just thought it was so pretty. I'm setting it by my antique doll that I have in my parlour/office.

P.S. I bet your still laughing about my ordeal with the eyelash curler. It's ok. (lol)

Have a fabulous day!

I'm signing off..........from Peek-A-Boo Street!

(Added this photo later.) I found my CoverGirl eye lash curler. For when my eyelashes start to grow back. =)

Some Good News

The other day, I got some good news. My grandson is going to be baptized. My daughter asked me if my husband and I would be my grandson's Godparents! Woohoo! Yippee! We are so honored to have been asked to be Godparents for another one of my grandchildren. My husband and I feel so honored and blessed.
I just want to thank my daughter and my son-in-law for thinking of us when they both chose us to be their son's Godparent. Thank you both so much for thinking of Dad and I. We love you all so very much. We are just so touched.
And what wonderful parents you both are for getting your baby baptized. Your following what God is asking of you to do as parents. All couples make that promise to God at the moment of Holy Matrimony. That they will pass the religion on to their children. Dad and I are so proud of the both of you. The whole family loves and supports your family. Can you feel our arms around you? Well maybe those are God's arms to. ♥

British Literature

While my son and I are reading Peter Pan, I've started another classic, Ethan Frome and Summer.

My gosh, I can't believe how good it really is. I read it for most of the day yesterday.

And in the back of this book I am reading now, it has three lists. One, a list of Amercan Literature books. The other is British Literature. World Literature. And Anthologies.

The lists aren't to long. But instead of writing them in one post. I'm going to break it up over the next few posts for labeling reasons. I have to admit that I have not read to many of these classic stories, but I sure would like to. I'm on a mission. Some I think my son will enjoy, like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I think that it is important for a parent to read to their children. So why not throw some literature in the mix sometimes. I want my son to grow up and reread the ones he has heard before as a child and the ones he was to young to read at the time. But I want my son to remember that his Mom read him a few of those classic stories. Did he understand The Adventures of Alice and Wonderland? I don't know. Did I? I would like to go back and reread it sometime. It is different when your reading it out loud to another instead of reading it to yourself. Plus, you can pick up on somethings the second time around. That is what's so neat about reading literature. You can keep going back to read these classics again and again in your life time. These are the books you can keep forever on your bookshelf.

I have to say, that I like the classic books best at Barnes & Noble better than at Borders. The Borders books are slightly cheaper but the Barnes and Noble Classic Literature books are for one hard cover, which I like. It will stay nice for years to come. A lot of these books are for under $10, even though they come in hard cover. Which is really nice. Also in the Barnes and Noble ones, you get a long introduction to the story as well, which you do not in the Border books. At the back of the Border classic literature books, is where I found the lists of different literature.

So here goes the British Literature list. How many have you read from this list?

British Literature

Emma- Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen

Sense and Sensibility- Jane Austen

Peter Pan- J.M. Barrie

Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte

Wuthering Heights- Emily Bronte

Alice in Wonderland- Lewis Carroll

Robinson Crusoe- Daniel Defoe

A Christmas Carol and Other Holiday Tales- Charles Dickens

Great Expectations- Charles Dickens

A Tale of Two Cities- Charles Dickens

A Passage to India- E.M. Forster

The Sonnets and Other Love Poems- William Shakespeare

Three Romantic Tragedies- William Shakespeare

Frankenstein- Mary Shelley

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Strange Tales- Robert Louis Stevenson

Treasure Island- Robert Louis Stevenson

Dracula- Bram Stoker

Gulliver's Travel- Jonathan Swift

The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds- H.G. Wells

The Picture of Dorian Gray- Oscar Wilde

Thats the end of that list. I have heard of these stories but have not read very many. So I definitely got some British reading to do! I hope I've inspired you today to pick up one of these British Literature books.

Pa...Pa...Pa...Peter...

Peter Pan! Yep, that's the next book my son and I are reading together. We are only on the second chapter and I have to tell you, I already like it better than The Adventures of Alice and Wonderland.

I don't think I've ever watched the Disney movie of Peter Pan as a child.



But I do remember watching this one with Mary Martin when I was a child....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OxrR72sUrg

The first time I watched it, I had spent the night at my Grandma & Grandpa C.'s house. So every time that I had seen it growing up, it always reminded me of them. The YouTube clip above said that it was first broad casted in 1960 for NBC. It has since been out of DVD production. And to own it is very expensive. Oh I would just love to own this classic for my grandchildren to watch. I just love it. It just reminds me of just being a plain ole' kid again. I just love it.
My son and I got to the famous second chapter....The Shadow. The funny thing that I wanted to share with you though is that Nana in Peter Pan is NOT the nanny. Well........it's............the dog. Hey I don't know how I thought it was the nanny. But when the Dad starts talking about Nana having to go outside, well it dawned on me that Nana was not the nanny. The Dad didn't like Nana but the mother does. Even with the quote from the Mom (Mrs. Darling)...."George, Nana is a treasure."
And then Mr. Darling responds...."No doubt, but I have an uneasy feeling at times that she looks upon the children as puppies."
I still did not get it at this point that Nana was a dog. I did think the quote was a bit strange. But what do expect....It's British Literature. Another post on that coming soon.
Then the story goes on to talk about the Dad putting medicine in Nana's bowl. But it still did not dawn on me. I just figured the British liked to drink out of bowls or something. Man I must have been out to lunch or something. The last page of the second chapter started to talk about Nana's bark. Nana's bark? Nana's bark?
Then the Mr. Darling says something like, "The proper place for you is in the yard, and there you will be tied up this instant."
I don't know if my son thought Nana was the nanny or the dog, but I told him at this point.....Nana is not a dog!
I can't wait till my son comes home from school tomorrow so that we can read another chapter of Peter Pan!

I love the weekend.......

Yesterday for the football game, I made a few snacks.

Smokie kabobs...

So easy to make. I just added little smokies, chunks of pineapple, an olive, with a cube of cheese on top of toothpicks. Here's the recipe.

http://www.finger-food-recipes.com/appetizer-kabobs.html

Then I made Touchdown Puffs.

Very easy to make. It's just Bisquick with some chopped pepperoni and green onions, which I forgot. You can dip it in some honey mustard. Here's the recipe.

http://www.finger-food-recipes.com/touchdown-puffs.html

That was Saturday. This is Sunday.......

We love Sunday's around here. It's the day of rest. The Lord's day. I was going to add our brunch we had after church but I forgot to take pic's. I guess I was to hungry to think about taking a picture. I hope you all had a great weekend!

I will be taking a break from blogging. I've been blogging for a year. And it's something that I have been thinking about for awhile now. I'm not sure for how long. But it will probably for some time. There a no hardships in the time being. But just feel that I need to take a break because I'm not giving my blog and my fellow bloggers 100% of my time right now. I have met some really wonderful people here in blog land. I wish I could meet you all in person. You all have visited my blog, time and time again and left really sweet comments and have been wonderful fans of my blog. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly loved reading your comments. They have all meant so much to me.

I will change my blog as the seasons change to try and keep up with it. I will stop by your blogs every now and then and see how you all are doing and with that, I may or may not leave a comment, but I will try sometimes. I might even post once in awhile but not to frequently.

And I do keep all of your needs in my prayers. Because you ladies are my blogging friends. I hope you will take the time to view my favorite blogging friends and to reach out to them. Because they truly are wonderful ladies with unique talents and I know that you will enjoy their blogs, as much as I have. With that........

I'm signing off.............from Peek-A-Boo Street! (salute)

Autumn Leaves......

Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves, autumn leaves
Lie strewn around me here,
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves,
How sad, how cold, how drear!
How like the hopes of childhood's day,
Thick clust'ring on the bough!
How like those hopes in their decay-
How faded are they now!
Withered leaves, withered leaves,
That fly before the gale;
Withered leaves, withered leaves,
Ye tell a mournful tale
Of love once true, and friends once kind,
And happy moments fled:
Dispersed by every breath of wind,
Forgotten, changed, or dead.

By Charles Dickens (English, 1812-1870)

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Out of sight.............out of mind?
http://www.clermontyellowribbon.com/untilthenflash.htm
Please watch this clip if you have a few moments. I came across this yesterday on the Internet. You have to scroll down a bit. Please continue to pray for all the troops and soldiers. Our every day lives takes us away from the realities of the world some times. I don't have anyone close to me who is away on duty, but other families do. And you might to. God bless ALL the troops and the soldiers!

I Don't Want To Say Goodbye..........

I just can't believe summer is over. For some reason this year, I just don't want to let go of the lazy warm days of summer. I'm talking about a gal who loves winter to. Winter is my favorite season. Snow blizzards and all. But for some reason, I'm finding it to hard to get into the fall festivity mode and theres only days left of September. Reluctantly I got up all of my autumn decorations around my home. I even changed my blog over to autumn. Wanting to let go of summer or not, unfortunately it's officially over until 2010. It's like the shrubs outside don't want to let go of summer either.....









Oh I just couldn't resist clipping and bringing in the last of my flowery bounty from my yard.......



They look kind of funny sitting on my autumn tablecloth. But this is it, until next summer..........................

I'm So Mad!

Every time I turn around someone is getting mad. Edgar Allan Poe is telling me at least once in each of his tales that someone has gone mad or the character says, that he hasn't gone mad. My son and I are still reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. In the Introduction, it speaks about how all the strange animals in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are mad. They aren't angry mad or crazy mad. But silly mad.

Finally! We have finally reached the chapter, 'A Mad Tea Party.' I have heard so much about 'A Mad Tea Party.' And now, my son and I are headed off to this famous tea party. So this is what I brought along. I made.......

Spinach quiche to bring along to the Mad Tea Party. I've never tried nor made spinach quiche before. I liked it. It was pretty good. Sorry fellow bloggers, you know how I hate writing up recipes. So again, your on your own. But you can find this good recipe in your basic 'Better Homes & Gardens, cookbook. =)

Also, I made some banana nut bread to take along with us to the Mad Tea Party. Again, you can find this delicious recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook.

Sorry about the crumbs. I hope Alice doesn't mind that we had our hands in this as well. I wanted to make a Pumpkin Bread as well, (again,I have never tried this or made it before) but I didn't want to be late for the Mad Tea Party. So I wasn't able to make the bread in time.

So we're off to the famous Mad Tea Party.....

So, when we arrived, there was this huge table. There were only three beings. March Hare, Hatter and Dormouse. Alice arrived, just before my son and I did.

March Hare offered Alice some wine, but there wasn't any. Strange wasn't it? The the Hatter insulted Alice by insinuating that she needed a hair cut. The nerve of him! Alice was doing good. She was sticking up for herself. She even told them how rude they were being. You go girl! Then they wanted to tell all of their silly riddles to Alice, in hopes to confuse her even more.....

The Hatter said, "Why, you might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see,!"

The March Hare added, "that I like what I get 'is the same thing as 'I get what I like'!"

Dormouse added his two cents in saying, "That I breathe when I sleep' is the same thing as 'I sleep when I breathe'!" Dormouse is so cute. He's always sleeping but he says that he isn't. Strange here in Wonderland.

Then the March Hare was going on and on about his watch until Alice was left completely puzzled. I have to admit, I was left a little puzzled myself. It reminded me of one of those Abbot and Costello comedy clips about who played on first, second and third base. I agree with Alice. Even though March Hare was speaking in English. It still was very difficult to understand. So my son and I just sat there without saying to much at that point. We were just listening in for the most part.

March Hare told Alice to have more tea. But Alice replied that she wasn't offered any so therefore she couldn't take more. Then March Hare said, "You mean you can't take less, it's very easy to take more than nothing." See the craziness in this? March Hare was being such a smart aleck!

Then March Hare and Hatter woke up Dormouse and told him to tell Alice a story. Alice just simply asked why the children lived in the well and Dormouse grew upset. Alice said that she would not interrupt again. So the story continued but, Alice couldn't help herself. I don't blame her. I wanted to know to...."But they were in the well," Alice stated.

Dormouse answered, "Of course they were. Well in." You see what crazy answers Dormouse gives? So confusing. Who could possible follow such a funny tale.

At this point Alice says that she is much confused. Then the Hatter tells her that she shouldn't talk then. Can you believe this guy! The nerve of him. Well Alice just had about enough of their rudeness. And I can't say that I blame her. Poor Alice. She got up and walked away in complete disgust. She looked back once or twice. She was hoping they would call for her but they didn't. When Alice looked back, March Hare and Hatter were dunking Dormouse into the teapot.

Probably from stopping him from falling asleep all the time. So my son and I got up and ran after Alice. "Alice wait up! We're coming with you!" Alice had told my son and I that this tea party was the stupidest tea party that she had ever gone to in her whole life! As we walked, there was a peculiar door on a tree. We went inside which led us down a long hallway. Alice had seen the glass table with the key on it. This time she nibbled on the mushroom that she had gotten previously and shrunk to be a foot tall. Can you believe it?! Then she said she was finally small enough to go through the little door that led into the garden. We told her to tell us what it was like beyond the small door. We heard her say that the flowerbeds were really bright and that there were cool fountains, before the door closed.

So my son and I have since returned from the Mad Tea Party that we had gone to over the weekend. It was complete madness. Mad I tell you! Mad!

Before my blog gets to mad, I'm signing off.......from Peek-A-Boo Street!

That Poe Guy Is So Strange...

That's Edgar Allan Poe of whom I'm talking about.
Sorry I've been absent for three weeks. But I think you've got a sense of what I've been doing.
Reading, reading and more reading. I can't get my nose out of these classic stories.
I finally got me a nice reading chair for my office. I like to call it my parlour now because it turned out so nice and cozy. I'm surrounded by all my favorite things. I'm constantly in this room.......reading. I have a stack of books to finish through. My husband complains that I'm always reading and that he never sees me. Oh he'll be fine. He's got his football now so I don't feel so bad. :) If he wants to spend his time rooting for the loser Lions...well that his prerogative. I need to catch up on my reading. It's just a nice little room. I like to just close the door, and shut the world out, and read to my little hearts content.
I have been getting into some of the classic stories and classic authors. I decided that I needed to broaden my horizons and my brain with some good old fashion literature. And I'm so surprised that I'm really loving it and enjoying it. I just love how one book, leads you to another book.
Stemming from the book I'm still reading, 'The Treasures of America's Short Stories,' has the short story 'Ligeia' by the author...Edgar Allan Poe. I liked it. It peeked my curiosity.
When I was up at Barnes and Noble, I found this book for only $9.99.


Edgar Allan Poe's poems and tales. Well I surely picked it up. Someone had told me to read the 'Raven' poem. Well I did. It was strange. I'm 40 years old and have never read that poem. It's his most popular poem.




Then someone else said that I just had to read 'The Tell-Tale Heart.' I read it and it was indeed, very strange. Kind of a sick story actually. Then I came across another tale, 'The Black Cat.' Man was that a sick tale as well. I thought oh my, this Poe guy sure is strange.
Then I heard someone else say that he wrote 'The Pit and the Pendulum." I looked it up in my book and sure enough it had it in there. So I read that as well. I really liked that one. That to was sick and strange.
I haven't read to much about Edgar Allan Poe as of yet but I did read somewhere that he was an alcoholic. Maybe mister Poe, should have laid off the sauce a little bit. Some of his tales are very sick and strange. But he peeked my curiosity and I'm continuing reading his crazy tales.
I'm getting ready to read, 'Hop-Frog.'
My son has to read every night for about 15 minutes for school as part of his homework. He's in third grade. So we have been reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. And I really like that one. It's pretty good. I'm 40 years old and have never read that story. After Alice, my son and I are going to read Huckleberry Finn. I can't wait for that one. Again I've never read that story either.
After I finish reading this guy's Poe's tales, I want to read 'Little Woman.' Again, a classic that I have never read.
So that is what I've been up to these past few weeks. I've had my nose in a bunch of books. In between these readings, I have been reading other books that I am trying to finish in between the classic stories.
I've also just begun a subscription to National Geographics.
Boy I hope I can keep up with all of this reading. I know what I'm going to be doing a lot of this autumn. Speaking of autumn, tomorrow's the first day of autumn.
I can't believe that another summer has past. Our leaves have been falling for weeks now. We are losing then early this year probably because of the cool summer we had. But the colors are really vivid this year on the falling leaves.
I'll be stopping by all of your blogs to see what you've all been up to!

Country Tea in Sleepy Hollow

~Fain would I pause to dwell upon the world of charms that burst upon the enraptured gaze of my hero, as he entered the state parlour of Van Tassel's mansion. Not those of the bevy of buxom lasses, with their luxurious display of red and white: but the ample charms of a genuine Dutch country tea table, in the sumptuous time of autumn. Such heaped up platters of cakes of various and almost indescribable kinds, known only to experienced Dutch housewives. There was the doughty dough nut, the tenderer oly koek, and the crisp and crumbling cruller; sweet cakes and short cakes, ginger cakes and honey cakes, and the whole family of cakes. And then there were apple pies and peach pies and pumpkin pies; besides slices of ham and smoked beef; and moreover delectable dishes of preserved plums, and peaches, and pears, and quinces; not to mention broiled shad roasted chickens; together with bowls of milk and cream, all mingled higgledy-piggledy, pretty much as I have enumerated them, with the motherly tea pot sending up its clouds of vapour from the midst-Heaven bless the mark! I want breath and time to discuss this banquet as it deserves, and am too eager to get on with my story. Happily, Ichabod Crane was not in so great a hurry as his historian, but did ample justice to every dainty.

-Excerpt from 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.' Written by Washington Irving in 1820.

Can't you just picture that tea table with all of that food on it?

I read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow out of the book, 'American Short Stories,' I bought at a thrifty shop last week. It's a thick book filled with short stories and I'm glad I purchased it because I have been really enjoying the wild short tales in it. It cost me only $2.99.

So I did a little research on the tale of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.'

By golly, did you know that there is such a city called, Sleepy Hollow, New York? I did not know that.

Also, the Old Dutch Church that is mentioned in the tale is a real church!

Again, I did not know this.

I watched The Legend of Sleepy Hollow movie in 1999. You might remember it. Johnny Depp starred in it.

Although I would like to watch it again now that I've read the story. All though it was said in the reviews that the movie was much different then the short story tale. In the movie, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) was a detective trying to find out who was doing all of the killings in Sleepy Hollow. Where the book, Inchabod was trying to win over the farmer's daughter, Katrina Van Tassel's love. He was competing with another gentleman, Brom Bones. The story was set in 1790 in the Dutch settlement in Terry Town, New York. And Sleepy Hollow is inside that city.

After I read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, of course I wanted to read reviews about the story from other readers. Again, I looked up some reviews on the Internet. I wanted to see if the comparison of what I read and what another reader might had picked up on the tale that I did not. And sure enough, Ichabod was a teacher in the short story. I thought he was a student. Don't no where I came up with that. =) But none the less, I'm glad I read it. I liked how it did have a little bit of some true history. Well maybe not the headless horseman or if you'd like to believe otherwise. =) It wasn't to scary of a tale. Just make sure when you snuggle up onto the chair tonight with your tea, and your little dog next to you....you might want to leave some extra lights on. Oh make sure all the doors are locked. Oh, and all of your curtains are closed. I think you get my drift. Oh and don't forget, you must grab a quilt to. =) And enjoy.... 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.'

Sew Happy!

Looky what I made................

It's been years since I've sewn anything. But all of you bloggers out there who sew have inspired me to give it a whirl again. But I have never been a real good sewer. Just did what I had to do.

So I got the old sewing machine out and cleaned it all off. I threaded it up and was fairly surprised I remembered how to do that. Even the bobbin. I'm sooo good.....lol. I'm really not!

So my next stop was the fabric store. That... was a little bit of a nightmare. I was going around and around and then decided to walk out the door. My mind was in a whirl. Patterns alone were like $16. That's just the patterns! I didn't even get the material and notions yet.

Yep....

The sewing machine was just going to have to go back into the box!

Then I made some measurements for this little accent table I have in the corner of my living room. I don't do measuring and nor do I like it. I'm just not good at that sort of thing. My husband on the other hand is like a math wizard and measures things a thousands of an inch by his automotive trade. But I was not going to ask him for his help this time. No I wasn't. I managed. Look at the pattern I came up with....

Hey, it beats $16! I taped a whole bunch of papers together. I'll be keeping this pattern for future use. I was thinking of making a Christmas table cloth for this little accent table or one that will take me through the winter season.
This little table cloth still cost me $12.67 for the material, thread & lace. I guess it's cheaper then what I could buy this table cloth at a store but I still thought it was a bit pricey.
So there you have it. My first sewing project in years. This project only took about and hour at the most to sew it all up. But the hand made pattern took awhile. Thank you all for inspiring me!

Air Show >>>>>

Over the weekend my family was invited to an air show over at my brother-in-laws house. I just want to thank him and his girlfriend for inviting us. We had an awesome time!

The air show happens every other year. It's so nice because my brother-in-law lives so close to the air base that we're able to get a great view of all the planes. The public was able to go inside the air base for that weekend. But we are lucky to know someone who lives so close to the airbase. So we lucked out.

I thought that it would be cool to take video of the planes. So I took a lot and only a few photos. I'm still going to post the videos even though I didn't like how the color on them turned out. The videos had a purplish tint to it for some reason. It was an over cast day so I don't know what was up with that.

A lot of the planes flew right over us. So it was nearly impossible to get a picture. So the few that I did manage to get, I just lucked out!

The ground would vibrate as the planes flew over. And boy, was it rip roaring loud! It was just awesome. The video clip does not do wonders of what it was really like to be there in person. It was something spectacular to see! I just wish you all could have been there to see it. But I'll do my best to bring it to you. I forget what the names of the planes were. I was just enjoying the show!

Here we go...........hang on!!!!! We're taking off! We'll be leaving Peek-A-Boo Street for a brief moment.

I hope you liked this little piece of the air show I sent to your way. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

A New Project...Maybe

Well all of you bloggers have been inspiring me out there with your crafty-ness with your sewing projects.

Sew....I mean so, I thought that I would get out my old sewing machine from the ole, dusty storage room.

Yep, that's it!

Let's take it out of the box.

Needs a good dusting. I don't even no if this machine even works anymore . It's probably 12 years old and I've probably only used it maybe ten times. Yeah. I'm not much of the sewing kind. I never really got into it. I wasn't very good at all the measuring and all that kind of stuff.

But like I said, you've all been inspiring me. Maybe something will come out of this machine. But maybe not. I'll have to keep you all posted on any future projects.

All you of you who do sew probably all ready know what next month is. September is National Sewing Month. I provided you with a link to click on. It will take you directly to the web site. So all of you who sew, keep sewing so you'll inspire me! I love to see your projects!

More Thrifty Dishes

I did some browsing at my local Thrifty shop yesterday. Did you ever see that funny Ikea commercial? Well that is exactly how I felt yesterday leaving the thrift store.

They were having bargain prices at the thrift store if you could believe it. Everything in the store was 1/2 off!!! I was in heaven!

I did pick up a few more dishes and wanted to share them with you because I couldn't believe the prices! I walked out of the store paying.....are you ready for this? $11.10!! I couldn't believe it! So this is what I purchased.

This vintage English dessert plate was marked $8. I got it for $4!!

This plate was marked at $3.99. I got it for $2!! I didn't realize till I got home that this plate is for decorative purposes only and not to set food on it. But that's OK. I can still use it for display.

This next plate was priced at $2.99. I bought if for $1.50!!!

This shallow bowl was priced for $1.99. And I got it for $1!!!!!! Can you believe it? One dollar?!!!! Wow.

And last but not least. This glass bowl was marked up for $4. You guessed it. I got it for $2!!!!

I'm sure you can understand how I felt when I got into my car and was driving home. I was so tickled that I got all of these pretty dishes for a grand total of $11.10. My family members just looked at me and called it all junk!! Can you believe it! Yep you heard me right. The guys said it was junk. Those guys don't know a bargain when they see one. My hubby just said, "Whatever makes you happy." =) And it does. Guys just understand a great deal when they see one I guess. =) And I didn't just get these dishes because they were a great deal. I'm going to use them for entertaining. Sorry about the pictures turning out blurry this time. Maybe it was the lighting.

I hope everyone had a great week.

Go Albert! Go Albert!

Go Albert! Go Albert! Oh my gosh! Am I a lucky girl or what!?

Last week while out and about antiquing.....I got me this!

I'm sure many of you recognize this pattern. It's Old Country Roses by the one and only Royal Albert. Isn't this cup just so rich with color and so exquisite? It's the Queen of all tea cups. I think there's a mar on the front pattern but I don't care one bit. As I sip my tea out of this beauty, I only think of some old lady who must have drank out of this tea cup. It makes you wonder who she was, what she looked like and what she held in the depths of her heart during her life time. I do have some new tea cups in my collection but I prefer them old and vintage and full of history and mystery to for that matter. When I started out collecting tea cups, name brands did not matter to me. But when I passed by this beauty on three different occasions.....well maybe this little Royal Albert beauty was calling out my name. =) In fact I heard it speak to me..........grannie Annie.......take me home. It almost sounded ghostly, lol. =) Ok, I'm just kidding with that. Name brands don't really matter to me though as I collect tea cups. I just have to like them. And of course I have to feel the price is right.

Well after I purchased the Royal Albert Old Country Roses tea cup, I was doing some shopping and I seen this....

The back...........

Isn't this bunny just the cutest thing? I just love the two pink roses that adorn the top of each ear. I also love the way the ears hang down. Well when I turned this little bunny over.....what do you suppose I saw? Yep. Royal Albert Old Country Roses. I just immediately fell in love with it even before I turned it over. I know that this piece is probably "seconds" (I think that's what you call it?), but I don't care. I wanted it and I was able to get her. "Seconds" just means, that there is a slight imperfection and not a "true" collectible. But like I said, that does not mean anything to me.

Here is a picture of both of them together.

I have to put my tea cup back into my china cabinet before it gets broke.

It came with an extra saucer.

And the bunny is going back into my curio cabinet so she doesn't get broke.

I just love my fabulous finds and I just wanted to share it with all of you ladies. Go Albert......go Albert!

Blogoversary!

Today is one year that I have been blogging! Woo hoo! I've so much enjoyed it. And most of all, I've enjoyed meeting new friends here in blogland.
There are so many blogs & the authors of them, who have inspired me in so many ways. There are some really beautiful blogs out there that are worth visiting every day.
I know for your blog anniversary that people usually have a give-a-way. Well since just recently I haven't had many readers, I chose not to have one at this time. But lately my followers have been picking up.
I was so surprised and so touched that so many people would want to follow my blog. A give-a-way is something that I will be thinking about in the future.

I don't have a goal to get 200 followers. But it's nice when you do have some fans out there who are genuinely interested in your blog. Lets be real. Everyone likes comments. =) I know I do! It makes you feel good as a blogger.

When I first starting blogging, I thought, no one is reading it right now anyway so I can say what I want.
Then as you continue on with blogging, I have to say, I stayed true to myself and blogged about what I wanted to blog about.
And then, I have to admit.....at times, I've been stumped on what to write about. But if I don't have nothing to say, I won't blog for a few days. That's just become my style to blogging. I don't put demands on myself that I have to have a post done every single day. I just don't worry about that.
Sometimes I worry that I may lose my readers but, I've seen in the past year that if their interested, they'll be back.
And trust me, I'm not tooting my own horn and saying that I'm in any way a good writer. But I'm so honored that there are people who are genuinely interested in my blog. And who leave me comments on a regular basis.
This is probably a good time to say thank you for the new followers who have began following me just within the past two or three weeks. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so touched. And all of your comments are so sweet. ♥
And I love all of your blogs. You all have such beautiful blogs.
There was a time when I thought about throwing in the towel about blogging. I am such a private person. And your blog is out there for everyone to see. That is why I don't post pic's of myself or my family on my blog. I'm sure you all noticed. But that's just me. That's how I do things. Well maybe one day, I'll post my picture so you can all know what I look like. I like to see pics of other people on their blog, because then you get to put a face with their blogs. It does make it nice to see.
Thanks again to each and every one of you, for being such sweet fans of my blog over this past year. Yes, I'm going to do it again........

My Summer Shows

I just love watching my summer shows on t.v. And so much is going on this summer, I don't even know where to begin!
I guess I'll start with 'So You Think You Can Dance.'



Did you all see Jeanine Mason win 'So You Think You Can Dance?' Here is a clip of a short interview with her after the show if your interested.
http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=b034lWVeeng
I am so happy she won. When there was like six dancers left, I was really hoping she would win and she did!



I actually wanted Janette Manrara to win.



But she got voted off. She was a really good dancer. She sort of looks like my aunt when she was younger.
But like Nigel Lythgoe said last night, that he will not agree to say that "all" are winners. He said that it would take away from the person who is to win. Their journey of working hard to be the winner. So congratulations to Jeanine Mason!
I couldn't find my favorite solo dance of Jeanine's on video. The one where she was dancing with the red rose in her mouth. But I did come across this video that had a few of her dances on it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3UEWejvDIA
This next one is my favorite dance that she did with Philip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnmaBgD3uQ0
I was so glad to hear that for the first time So You Think You Can Dance? is going to have another show this fall! Wooo hooo! September 9, 2009...so mark your calenders! I can't wait!
Hell's Kitchen started up again a few weeks ago. So I've been watching that to. Love this show! You gotta love Chef Gordon Ramsey! Man is he tough! Just look at him in this picture. He looks meeeaaan.


Then my all time favorite summer show is still showing. Big Brother!



OMG!!!! I LOVE this show!!!!! It is so awesome and I just LOVE all of the drama! Did you all watch it tonight? It was so good.
The new head of household is Shima.



I wanted Lydia



to win it because I know the whole house would have been in a huge up roar. What do you think about all of her tattoos? What a pretty girl. Why, why, why did she do that?! How is she going to feel about them when she has to walk into a school one day with her child. Oh gees.
Then what do you think about America voting Jeff



to win the mystery nomination thing. Not quite sure how that is all going to play out. It'll be interesting. I like how him & Jordan have bonded. I like how Jordon is playing her game on the show.



Then Ronnie went home tonight.



Thank gosh. I actually wanted him to stay on the show but not after how he attacked Michelle. Sweet little Michelle. What did she ever do to anybody?



And what do you think about Russell. He just thinks he is so clever.



Ugh! What about Jesse? He just thinks that he's God's gift to woman and thinks he's ALL that because he is a body builder. Give me a break!



Also his sidekick Natalie. She is getting on my last nerve and she really needs to leave the Big Brother house ASAP!!



And then of course the host Julie Chen is expecting a baby boy. How sweet. She looks really good. This will be her first child.



Then another really good show premiers this Sunday, 'There goes the neighborhood!' I can't wait to watch that. That one looks like it's going to be another great show. It's suppose to be a take off of Big Brother. Several houses are fenced in amongst themselves from the neighborhood. They have to compete to win luxuries for their home. They will even be kicking other families out. They have to live without any electricity. The winner will win $125,000. The winner of big brother wins $500,000! OMG this show sounds like a fun one to watch for sure. Here is a pic I found on the Internet.



So there you have it. You know what I've been doing a lot during the summer evenings. We are lucky though. We have one of those DVR's so we can fast forward all the commercials. And that makes me happy.
I do love American Idol but that comes on in January. Did you hear the latest about Paula Abdul quitting American Idol? I think she wants to be on 'So You Think You Can Dance?' She's a choreographer to. We'll just have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised to see her for the fall's premier 'So You Think You Can Dance?'

Oh What A Day!

Today was a real busy but a fun filled day. First of all my grandson is staying with us for the weekend. I wanted him to stay with us again before school starts back up. I probably won't be able to take him again to Christmas break. Maybe I can fit an over night in here and there but not a few days all at once.

So the day started by pre-making dinner for later so that I can just pop it in the oven for when everyone gets hungry. Then I baked some M&M cookies.....

We rode our bikes and then decided we were hungry for that dinner.

We had the most awesome Italian dinner. I was going to take a picture of that to but I remembered after I ate. Ugh. Sorry. I really wanted to get a picture of that. I made my pasta stuffed shells. I made my own olive & cheese salad. I posted a pic of that a few posts down on a previous day. We also had pesto with some crunchy crackers and those crunchy little flavored toasts you can buy in a bag. For dessert we had Neapolitan ice cream and of course some more cookies!

Then we all decided to go swimming until the sun started to go down.

After swimming, we all warmed up by getting into our jammies and then settled in for the evening. The boys are watching t.v. in the bedroom.

I decided to relax in the living room for a bit. But first I lit a few candles...

Made myself my favorite evening tea.....

I just love Sleepy Time Tea. =) Mmmmm. I also like the name of it. There's something about how Sleepy Time Tea just rolls off your tongue.

Even my pooch was getting sleepy..........

Vedy sleeeepy......... =)

Well after some evening reading. I blew out the candles and we all headed off to bed. One more peek outside before I go to bed. My nightly ritual.....

Awww, a full moon tonight. Now off to beddy by time.

Yes, this is my favorite blanket and my pillow if you can't see it. It's kind of dark in here.

Well okay fellow or I mean lady bloggers. Lights out for us. What a fun filled day we had! Tomorrow's another day....God willing. That reminds me that I have to say my prayers. =)

And I pray that God will watch over each and everyone of you tonight and always! Good night!

Happy Anniversary~

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. We will be going out to dinner which is a nice thing to look forward to at the end of a full days housework. We haven't decided yet where we want to go.

So I will have to keep my post short today so that I can get on with the day.

I hope you all had a nice weekend. And I'll be back later to read all of your blogs.

P.S. Mike, I know you read my blog sometimes. Happy Anniversary and I love you!! ♥
