Awesome Website - Allrecipes.com
This is the neatest website. Why haven't I found this before? Of course, you can search for any recipe and create you own recipe box for further reference, a recipe exchange, holiday ideas including Father's Day and much more. My favorite thing is the ingredient search, just enter in the ingredients that you have and recipes appear. I started out searching steak, rosemary, garlic, and I got decided on Blake's Best Steak and then I search potatoes, butter, garlic and I decided on Herbed Mashed Potatoes. As you can tell I love garlic. :) Check out the website. Below is a picture of our dinner Satuday night. It was great.

Procrastination - Such a dirty word!
Definition of Procrastination - Delay; Dawdle; To put off doing something;
Habitually not doing something that should be done.
I normally don't procrastinate about doing things. My motto - Do it today so you don't have to do it tomorrow. My daughter is 19 months old and I have been trying to work on photo albums, scrapbooks, just putting pictures in frames the whole time. I have so many pictures piled up it is not even funny. I moved my pictures, albums, frames, scrapbook into my dining room so I could see my mess several times a day, thinking it would give me that little push I needed to get this done. It has not worked!! The only thing I have accomplished in 20 months is a completed baby book and 1 Christmas scrapbook where all I had to add is pictures and journaling. Below is a picture of my mess. Help -- I need that push to get this accomplished. Give me some motivating advice.

Father's Day Poem
What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

Teenager Birthday Gift Idea
My nephew turned 13 this week. Finally, a teenager. I went to his birthday party last night. He had a boy/girl dance party and it turned out great. There was probably 50 people including family and friends. He had such a good time.
My sister-in-law is very creative and came up with a neat idea this year. Instead of friends bringing gifts, she asked for them to bring hygiene products to be donated to a local ministry. What such a great lesson for the kids to learn and for my nephew to learn. My nephew agreed to this with no problem and was glad to be able to give to others instead of getting gifts himself.
Of course, I donated too. I filled a bag full with my CVS stockpile.
