Happy Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving Turkey Rolls

This delightful roll can be used as a dinner table place card as well as be eaten.

2 Rhodes Texas™ Rolls or 2 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls, thawed but still cold
1 egg , beaten
sliced almonds, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, pepper corns

Flatten one roll for the body and place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Cut a narrow piece out of the remaining roll to be used as a head and neck. Roll it into a rope shape and place on one side of body to form a slight curve. Cut head piece on an angle and pull down against neck to form a wattle.

Flatten the rest of the roll into a half circle. Cut about ten long slits to form feathers. Place on body opposite head and neck. Brush with egg. Place peppercorn on head for eye and push a slivered almond into the head for a beak. Decorate body and tail with nuts as desired. Let rise 15-30 minutes. Bake at 350°F 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Zoo...

Saturday was such a beautiful Fall day! Carrie asked Lindsey and I to go to the Zoo with her and the kids. We had a good time! Thanks Carrie for asking us to go with you and for getting us all in on your pass! We will have to do it again.
Carrie, Lindsey, and all the kids!...

We (family in UT.)and cute Kenzie went to Fat Cats for my birthday. We ate yummy pizza, salad, pasta, and of course twisted breadsticks. Then we went bowling. We had lots of fun and I think Ty or Cole won the bowling game! Thanks everyone for making my BIRTHDAY SPECIAL. I love my new necklaces (2), watch, bracelet, candle holders, wall plagues,
and lots and lots of LOVE! MY FAMILY ROCKS!!!!!

Lindsey and Craig were out of town when the rest of us took fall pictures. So here are some of the boys. I really want to do pictures in the snow next! Who's in?

Thanks Danielle (Crazy Daisy Photography) I love the pictures!

Why...

Why is it that you have to wait so long to see the Dr. I had an appointment this morning just to renew my prescriptions. I had the first appointment 9:00 am thinking that they wouldn't be running behind...WRONG! They had a staff meeting and didn't even let us in the office until 9:30! I get so bugged, my time is just as important as their time! Is it just me or does everyone have to wait at the Dr's Office? And if you do, are you as bugged about it as I was? No wonder my blood pressure was elevated!

Are they all smiling because they love to make their patients wait? Especially the one in the dark pink scrubs!

It was a beautiful and happy day or should I say night for Madi, she didn't get Baptized until 5:00 p.m. After the Baptism we had a yummy dinner. It was a fun and spiritual night!
I am so happy for Madi and the choice she made to get Baptized!
