More Vacation Photos!

We survived another vacation and now all of us are trying to settle back into the everyday routine. My days, of course, consist of working, meetings, being a taxi driver, meetings, working, etc. (But I wouldn't give it up for nothing!)

Anyway, our week off of the daily grind was very relaxing and looong! We didn't plan anything, no travel plans, nothing. I shut the alarm off on Friday night and left it off all week. When I woke up, if I wanted to get up, I did. If not, I just simply rolled over and went back to sleep.

When we did manage to roll out of our beds for the day we usually took the 4-wheelers for a drive through the beautiful back roads of southern Indiana. I didn't pack my expensive camera, but did have my trusty iPhone with me and made sure I took several pictures.

Some shots I couldn't ask for a better picture, even if I tried with my good camera!


The above picture was taken at our local Conservation Club. I was really wanting to get a picture of how much the lake was down due to our dry summer, but I was much happier with the way this turned out! Below is on our way home on Tampico Pike. The full moon can been seen in the distance.


Stay tuned...more of our southern Indiana adventures will be posted in the coming days!

The Cup Cake Lady

I have been called 'The Cup Cake Lady' several times over the last few years. Every time I am invited to a party or have a function to attend that involves food, I'm asked to make my ding dong cup cakes. With making them so many times, I have perfected the technique to where it's one of the easiest desserts I bake.

I've done them so many times I have an assembly line set up.



Yes, I'd own my own restaurant/bakery if I could. That has always been a dream of mine, but for now I'll just settle for seeing the happiness in my friends eyes when I show up to the party with a cookie sheet full of the goodness!

Reality

I've spent the last week on vacation and have had a great time. This vacation we didnt plan anything, turned the alarm off, and just done things at the spur of the moment. The week has seemed like it went on forever. Today is my last day before I wake up to reality on the morning. Today I am going to have tenderized pork loins on the grill. The pool has been closed for the winter, buy I can grill on the deck anytime during the year.

Check back the next few weeks to see pictures I've taken during my vacation week!
