Holidazzle

We went to the Holidazzle Parade on Saturday. The big trip to the city....downtown Minneapolis.

Holidazzle is a Minnesota tradition. Downtown Minneapolis glows with festive lights as local businesses put on a stellar show that is the equivalent of a walking fireworks display.

Thank goodness we bought tickets for the heated seats inside a large tent to watch the event because it was minus 5,000 degree's outside. Okay, I made that part up. It was probably 4 degrees outside and it was COLD! Sorry the pictures didn't come out all that great. It's difficult to take pictures in the dark.























Happy Monday!

The Most Amazing Thing Happened Yesterday....

It's story day!!!

Let me start at the beginning though. Many years ago, my mom had a close friend named Elizabeth and Elizabeth was married to Bruce. Elizabeth and Bruce had 3 sons, Wendell, Bobby and Scott. We visited them at their house several times. One of the things I remember about their house (and this was in the 50's) was that to me, an 8 year old, it was palatial. It was split level job having several levels and there was a huge pool out back and it was probably on 50+ acres. I remember during one visit we were swimming and my brother, who was maybe 3 at the time, woke up from his nap, all sleepy-eyed, stumbled out to the pool and just walked right into it. He went straight to the bottom like a rock and of course we saved him. He was soooo cute. I also remember a huge organ in their living room and it had a bust of Wolfgang Mozart sitting on top of it and Bruce could make that baby hum. It was awesome. Then Elizabeth got sick with cancer and died. I think she was in her 40's. I remember feeling very bad about this, but we never went to see Bruce and the boy's again.

I knew that Bruce was connected to an attraction in Ocala, Florida named Silver Spring's. I knew he had something to do with photography and glass bottom boats (in my mind he had invented the glass bottom boat - hahahahaha). Mom never talked about Bruce. For years and years and years I looked for him and could never find him. Last month, my sister and I were talking about him and she googled his name and low and behold, there he was!!!! Because of the bust of Wolfgang Mozart sitting on his organ, I thought his name was spelled Mozart.........but it's Mozert! Bruce Mozert. My sister had actually thought she typed in Mozart, but she typed in Mozert and there he was. We found him because of a typo! I was so excited and I let my brother know we'd found him because Bruce was my brother's Godfather.

What we found on the Internet was a gentleman by the name of Gary Monroe wrote a book called "Silver Springs The Underwater Photography of Bruce Mozert". Gary has written several best-selling books and here was one about Bruce!!

I immediately ordered the book and wrote a letter to Bruce telling him how long we'd been looking for him and gave him the short version of the last 40 plus years in our lives.

I got the book yesterday. The mail lady left the book on top of our mailbox cause it wouldn't fit inside. I knew immediately what it was and raced to the mailbox. I was so excited. I grabbed the book and raced back inside the house, ripped open the package and started pouring over the book. I learned that Bruce, who was 91 (he turned 92 this week), still goes to work EVERYDAY! Bruce INVENTED the underwater camera (not the glassbottom boat). Bruce did the underwater filming of some of the Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weismueller. Remember Sky Hunt? Yep, Bruce did all the underwater photography for that too, as well as the underwater filming for the original "The Creature from the Black Lagoon". Bruce worked with some of Hollywood's top actor's and actresses. Bruce still flies his own plane (a 182 Skyline) and does aerial photography for corporations. When I heard him play the organ I knew he was an amazing person.

All this was wonderful, but the letter he wrote me was priceless and made my heart sing. He told me how much he enjoyed my letter. He told me he had a birthday this week and was now 92, and that everyone in his family lived to be 103 and 104. He said he'd had an exciting career. He said to come visit him and gave me directions to his house and phone numbers to reach him. And then......... he signed the letter...................Your Godfather, Bruce Mozert.

That's when I started crying. You see, I lost my mom last August 27th and my dad several years ago. While my mom and I didn't have the greatest relationship, she was still my mom and I loved her very much and I miss her. Since losing her I've felt kinda like an orphan (a 57 year old orphan.......yeah right). I have an older sister who lives in Florida and a younger brother that lives in Kentucky (visit http://www.johnmodlin.com/ - he's an incredible musician), but I don't have any parents now and that's a very weird feeling. I've been thinking a lot about "the good ole days". About Bruce, about all the kids I grew up with (Marjie - the best ever friend, Kenny - my very first boyfriend), Johnny and Frankie, the Simmons family, George, Patti, Cory, Butch, Ricky, Jan).

I'd always known that Bruce was my brother's Godfather, but I never knew he was mine too. I can't wait to visit him.

Oh yeah, and I got a email from Kenny a couple of days ago and also from George. Marjie and I keep in touch alot. I'm reminded of a song I learned in Girl Scouts.............."Make New Friends and Keep The Old".

How to Achieve Inner Peace...........

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives. By following the simple advice I heard on a Medical TV show, I have finally found inner peace. A Doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, a pockage of Prunglies *burp*, tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins *hic*, the res of the Chesescke an a box a chocolets.Yu haf no idr who gud I fel. Peas sen dis orn to dem yu fee ar in ned ov inr pece.

Not So Typical Commute

This morning I wake up at my normal time and half way through getting ready I hear on T.V. the traffic gal say there is a Semi roll over on the Interstate.

I don't take the interstate unless I HAVE TOO so I say, "no biggy". Then I hear her telling everyone to STAY OFF the Interstate and take County Rd XX. WHAT????? I take County Rd XX. It's not really XX just using that as an example here. So....... I get on the road and yep, everyone and their dogs , tractor trailers, cement trucks, etc.... is on my road that I take to work.

I own this country road. No one is allowed on it. It's a country road and I travel it stress free each work day (Exception: always on high alert during deer season) but not today. It was the road from HELL.

I was 1 hour and 20 minutes LATE to work today. Normally takes me 30 minutes.

Back to the roll over. It was a tractor trailer carrying "Pigs". Pigs all over the place. They had to gather all the pigs and load them on a new trailer, upright the semi and clear the accident so it took awhile to open the road. Poor little pigs :(










Off to have a super day

Happy Thursday

My Name is Jennifer and I am a Lip Balm Addict

Are you a lip balm addict? I am. Love the stuff. Now I know why. I ran across this guys web site yesterday and found it VERY interesting. Lip Balm Anonymous . Seems that people really are addicted to lip balm.

Here's some information from his site
Lip Balm Anonymous is often asked if lip balm is really addictive. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't!

Which helps explain why you can diligently apply "medicated" lip balm several times a day and still suffer from chapped lips. The tingling sensation you get from those products usually comes from menthol, camphor or phenol. "All those things are drying and irritating," says Paula Begoun, a well-known critic of the cosmetics industry. She says she suspects that these ingredients are routinely used "to make the consumer think something is happening. If you want a cooling sensation, drink some cold water."

Users, meanwhile, often find the pleasant tingling habit-forming. "You get so accustomed to that cooling, soothing sensation, that it's like, "Yeah, I need that in my life all the time". Subjected to this constant irritation, it's not surprising that your lips don't get any better.



Selling Year-Round!

Some people claimed we were crazy when we said lip balm addiction was a year-round disorder. Now we have proof! This Blistex ad ran in U.S. Sunday newspapers during May 1997.

As you can see, the ad is very direct about trying to get people to use balm during the summer. If you think you only need lip balm during the winter, Blistex wants you to think differently!
Here's the proof in the pudding! These sales figures for the lip care category come from Mentholatum. Sales are the highest during December, and certainly winter is a busy time in the lip balm market. But look at the numbers another way. Sales are steady throughout the entire year! You don't see a nose-dive during the summer months at all.


In fact, one could argue that the increased sales during December are a factor of the holiday gift season more than weather. There is a big market for lip balm marketed to children. And you know a lot of that lip balm ends in Christmas stockings!!!!


So any of you using Blistex, Carmex, Chapstick, Bonne Bell, Vaseline Lip Therapy go check out this web site. It's pretty fun stuff!!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

Going Home to the Freezer

Speaking of Deer!!!! Larry and I were driving down to Gaylord, MN Saturday and got behind this hunter. If you look closely you can see their kill laying/sitting in the back of his truck! Cool huh! You can even see his ear tag on his right ear. It's ironic that yesterday Sandi mentioned their kill over the weekend. It apparently was a super weekend for deer hunting!!












Happy Tuesday!

Sandi's husband shot an 8 point buck over the weekend.

For those of you who do not hunt, here is an example of an 8
point buck.

This is NOT the deer Bud shot. Those photo's will follow.
I asked Sandi to post some pictures of proof of their kill.

Wal-Mart worker dies in Black Friday stampede

This is the saddest story I've read in a long time!

Wal-Mart worker dies in Black Friday stampede


11:47 AM EST, November 28, 2008


A 34-year-old Wal-Mart worker died Friday morning after "a throng of shoppers . . . physically broke down the doors" and knocked him to the ground as the crowd pushed its way into the store at a Valley Stream mall, Nassau police said. One police officer told Newsday the prelude to the death was "a mob scene."

Nassau County police said the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., an hour after the store opened. The cause of death was not immediately known.


The man who died was a temporary, part-time Wal-Mart worker, the officer said. Shoppers who surged into the store were asked to leave by Wal-Mart workers, some of them crying and visibly upset, said one shopper, Kimberly Cribbs of Far Rockaway.

Though rumors circulated among the shoppers that someone had been badly injured, people ignored the Wal-Mart workers' requests that they stop shopping, move to the front of the store and exit, Cribbs said.

There is no 52" Flat screen TV worth a life.
Do you shop on Black Friday?

Turkey Day

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE turkey. It the mostest wonderfulest thing in the world. Doesn't matter that 7 minutes after ingesting it I need to go passout somewhere for hours and hours. I live for Thanksgiving (sad huh?). I always buy the biggest turkey I can because for me, it's the leftover turkey I crave. Turkey sammich's and turkey tetrazzini. Tetrazzine to die for...well, maybe not die for, but there's definately a swoon in there somewhere. Sooooo..........I wanted to share this recipe with you. It's directly from the pages of the Joy of Cooking cookbook. Interestingly enough, it's was published by PENGUIN Books Ltd............hahahaha....penguin tetrazzini.......hmmmmmmm...........nah! Anyway, here is the recipe. Sorry there's no photo's.

Turkey Tetrazzini - 8 to 10 Servings

Cut the meat from the bones of cooked turkey. There should be 3 cups of shredded meat. Cook 1/2 lb. spaghetti and add to this 3/4 lb. sauteed mushrooms. Make a sauce of 3 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 cups of checken broth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup heated whipping cream.

Preheat oven to 375. Add 1/2 of sauce to the chicken and 1/2 to the spaghetti and mushrooms. Place the spaghetti in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Make a hole in the center of the spaghetti and place the penguin turkey in it. Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese. Bake the dish until tetrazzini is lightly browned. It's delish!

Enjoy!!!

Nothing is more upsetting than......

Nothing upsets me more lately than our meat departments new ground beef packaging. It's this textured hamburger crap. I cook A LOT and I LOVE hate this new way they process the hamburger. You have to pull apart all of this stringy, flingy hamburger and it cooks up terrible.





I prefer the old way of processing hamburger. See example of "nothing was wrong with this way" of perfect processing. See.....it's bulk. You plop the whole package in the pan, give it a couple of swirls of the wooden spoon and your done.



Disclaimer: I still use my wooden spoons for cooking utensils. Sue me, I'm still alive dispite what Martha Stewart says about "you'll die from salmonella" if you use wooden utensils.







What don't you like about your meat department?



Did I mention I'd rather be in Mexico right now (Our waiter Carlos)

Buenos Dias!!

Well, well, well....Sandi and I have received yet another award. Trooper Thorn over at Dogs and Jeans did it. You can all blame him. None of us understand what the award says because it appears to be in Portuguese?

Like TT says, it sure is a pretty award!! If I recall my Spanish, it says something like.....
"This Blog Invested and Accredited and Closeness" As you can see, none of that makes sense but that's my interpretation of the verbiage and we'll accept the award!! Thanks TT.

We are going to pass this beautiful award onto the following! It's because we like them and sparing the rest of you! You can thank us later!!

Who Needs Pockets!

I thought this was cute. Some days I wish I could run around in just my underwear! I don't know that I'd stuff them with frogs though?

I Think I Have A Cold?

I think I hab a code and I don't like it. I think Sandi gave me her cold she had last week!!! Each year when I get one I am forever trying to beat the darn thing and find remedies (FAST ONES) that will help get rid of it. I know, scientist have
been trying to do this for years but I get more and more determined each time I get one.



"They Say"
Cold remedies: What works!


  • Water and Fluids

  • Gargle with Salt Water

  • Saline Nose Sprays

  • Chicken Soup

  • Over the counter meds

  • Get a humidifier

"They Say" Cold remedies: What doesn't work!



  • Antibiotics

  • Antihistamines

  • Over the counter cough syrups


"They Say" Cold remedies: What probably doesn't hurt!



  • Vitamin C

  • Echinacea

  • Zinc


So I guess what "they" are saying is. Stay in bed, drink, gargle, spray crap up your nose, eat soup, take what ever over the counter medicines you remember from a commercial, stay away from Tylenol because that will cause serious liver damage (great) and go spend a couple of hundred bucks on a humidifier.


I think I'll stick it out once again and take the cheap route, my vitamin C, Zinc and Echinacea. Speaking of Echinacea, it's a beautiful flower. One of my favorites actually!!! That alone should make one feel much better. Here's a picture of the "Purple Cone Flower" (Echinacea). I take a echinacea pill every day, have for years but that alone obviously isn't working for me.


Does anyone have any other suggestions for cold remedies?

Sincerely yours,

I Hab A Code! - Jennifer

Would You Change It?

One of my "few" pet peeves is thee old toilet paper roll "over or under" rule.

I don't have this issue at my house because I'm the one that usually replaces said product. This way I know it's done properly. If you went into a bathroom and saw the roll in the position you don't like, would you change it?

I prefer the "Over" rule!!

How many Mexicans can you fit in a van????

From time to time my daughter, Officer Princess, sends me some pretty interesting video's. Most of them are used for training police officers. Alot of them aren't appropriate for showing here, but this one is different. I'm not quite sure what type of "training" this video would be useful for, but I'll tell ya one thing.......while it made me gasp at first, before it was over, I was ROFLMAO!!!!

Graduation

Luna finally graduated her Obedience class this summer. She can sit and lay down on command. You say this might sound easy, but she can sit and lay down on comment (Commanded in German) and stay there until we release her. You can walk around the room, leave the room and the little girl will stay there. It wasn't easy but I must admit, it's VERY cool that she can do that and it comes in handy! Is she two yet???

Here is her diploma! Hey, it looks good on paper "they always say."







Here is her trainer Lee. Sorry about the crappy picture of me. It was 130' 90 degrees that day.

Recipe Time!!!! Sandi's Shrimp Salad

I posted this recipe A LONG, LONG time ago, but I thought I'd post it again for those that missed it. You're gonna LOVE this one and so will everyone else. They'll be pounding your door down for the recipe and the great thing is...........IT'S SIMPLE!!!



This recipe can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled, quintupled, or gazillioned depending on the amount of people you're going to serve.


1 Lb. medium sized shrimp, boiled and peeled and each shrimp cut in half
1 bunch of spring onions (some people call them green onions)
1 large dill pickle, chopped
Mayonnaise, just to coat (not too much here....we don't want it to creamy)
1 Tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning (and like Pastor Ryan says.......don't go using celery salt or some other substitute)


Boil shrimp, peel and devein and then cut each shrimp in half. In a medium sized bowl, add shrimp, spring onions, chopped pickle and mayonnaise to coat. Add Old Bay Seasoning and mix all together well.


This is one of those dishes that the longer it sits the better it gets so I always cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the refridgerator over night and if there's any left the next day (hahahaha) it's W O N D E R F U L!!! Serve on a bed of lettuce............

Bon Appetite and Have a Great Weekend Everybody!
