Happy Birthday "E"
My favorite nephew whose name starts with "E" is having his 12th birthday today.
I am sure for his parents they are thinking HOW can he already be 12. Because I know I can not believe it!
"E" is an exceptional young man. His mind thinks in ways that I can not even explain...brilliant is an understatement.
But, with all the brains he has common sense.
He has a sense of humor that is contagious.
He has such a big heart.
He is always very polite.
and he has Celiac Disease.
A year ago when they were here for summer vacation, poor "E" could not hardly eat anything without becoming sick, and the weight loss that he was having was so scary.
When my sister returned home to Arizona she took "E" to get checked out.
When the tests came back they diagnosed him with Celiac.
I had never heard of it.
But, I do know this...
NO wheat flour or modified wheat flour.
When they came to visit last month, Lene went to buy some of the products that would be used to prepare meals that "E" would be able to eat.
I about had a heart attack when I saw what they charge for "Gluten Free" Products.
'Lene walked out of the store with a small bag of groceries and I had a cart full of groceries I think my total was only $10.00 more!!! That is crazy!!!
I was glad they had treats that "E" could have because I knew the rest of us would have some.
AND we found CREAM OF MUSHROOM Soup, do you know how many things you make with cream of_ soup???
Progresso Soup's are gluten free which is really cool.
and guess what else is Gluten Free
Yep, Good ol' Potatoes!
and I know how to cook with potatoes!
I even made homemade gluten free Potato Soup.
I am sure my sister 'Lene will make a wonderful meal and birthday cake for "E"
and it will all be gluten free.

What Makes You Cry?
I have to admit I would cry at just about anything.
Do you remember the old Folger's Coffee commercials...
yea, I was the one BAWLING in private or a room full of people.
Now, for some reason unknown to me I seldom have a tear in my eye.
Onions can get a tear but that is about it.
Until this:
I am a total fan of Gene Simmons's Family Jewels TV Show.
I have no idea why. I have never been a KISS fan.
I had never heard of Shannon Tweed (maybe because I am not a follower of Hefner's Playboy Bunnies).
Gene and Shannon have been living together for 20+ years, they have 2 children.
Yet, have never married...I don't get that...talk about doing things backwards.
Again, another reason I do not know why I like this show.
ANYWAY...
Last week when they televised their wedding
I cried!
Crazy I know
Now that I have said it, maybe I can quit obsessing on WHY this is what got the tears flowing.
CRAZY!!!!
I admit I did cry in 17 Miracles...great movie about the Wille Handcart Company.

First Freeze
I always have mixed emotions when this morning comes.
The first freeze arrived this morning.
Leaving all of the garden's plants drooping and done for the season.
With just a little life left, I know the canning season is over for what ever did not get picked.
I will miss my full pumpkin patch and the fruits on all the different garden plants.
I am grateful for all the tomatoes that we were able to can this year.
The Salsa Verde from the Tomatillo plants, Zucchini Bread and Cookies from our very abundant plants, and Spaghetti Squash wow we had some easy and yummy dinners from this great squash.
I will also miss the onions, bell peppers, jalapenos and fresh tomatoes for salads and sandwiches and fresh salsa (pico de gallo).

Who Does She Look Like?
When Miss H was new born I would say,"She must look allot like Sergio's family because I can only see a little bit of Kira in her.
and the older she got the more she looked like "Hazel"
You could see her papa and mama in her.
When they got home from Argentina in August, I could not bel1ieve how much she had changed.
and I kept thinking to myself...wow I know who she looks like...
Yep, she looks like her grandpa kirk!
Thank goodness, I know Kirk's sisters are very pretty.
Already 8 Months Old
I am not sure how Miss H turned 8 months old without me getting a post in
BUT I DID!
Oct 9, 2011
WOW...
She is going to be a year old before we know it.
