A new day and I thank the Lord for allowing me to have it.  I just got an iPad and have been playing with it all day.  New found wonder for me :)...brand new toy...something else to play games on...and there is more, but can't think of them right now.

Here is an easy recipe and I plan on putting in a picture at some point.  I am really slow on that because I have brain farts all the time and just can't remember how to do things.

My version of guacamole.


     2 medium size avocado's
     1 half to 3/4 quarter of a yellow onion, diced
     1 or 2 plum tomatoes, if they are small and 1 if they are large, diced
     Garlic powder about 1/2 tsp
     Red pepper flakes to taste

Mash the avocados - leave some chunks. Add the onions and tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and  garlic powder and blend. Put in fridge for about an hour for favors to meld together.

Ok, that is what I am making for dinner.  I am unconvential when it comes to meals. I know they should be balanced and I think about it for a minute or two and say nah this good!

I am learning this blogger biz :).  It's always funny how I seem to get "rid" of the things I shouldn't.  I had 2 posts and one had an original recipe by me, yay :),  Not anymore.  I can always repost later.  My post was made back in September of 2012.  Wow, where does all the time go???

I am still not sure of what I expect from this blog, but it does say to tell about your life.  So, here is short story....that is what I call them.

My bro's birthday is this weekend, Memorial Day, and to make it special I am meeting his second daughter for the second first time.  Confusing huh???  Last time I saw her, she was still in diapers and just learned to walk.  She grew up to be a beautiful 18 year old. 

We are having a BBQ not only to celebrate the weekend, but my bro's BDay and the meeting of the niece.  We text a lot and finally I can FaceTime her.  Her older sister lives about 5 minutes from me...we see each other maybe once a year.  This is the year to get to know everyone again.  I love my family!!!

On with the menu - typical one, hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans, spinach dip, baked mac & cheese - niece makes this - and the usual condiments.  So, what is so special about this since it could be an everyday menu.  Love of family and getting together is what makes its special.
