We are still at WONDERFUL Fort Bliss Texas and are hopeful for PCS orders this summer sometime. Our daughter is pretty serious with a young airman living in Hawaii and we have one getting ready to graduate high school next month, while another is finishing his Sophomore year.

I really do...So why in the world is it so hard to keep up my own? I am going to commit to blogging as a positive journal experience. I am going to commit to posting creativity. I am going to commit to taking more pictures of people, not just food. I am going to commit to write the scripture of the day. I am not afraid of commitment. So, I hope you will "see" me around here more often, and thank you for your patience.The Parson's Wifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11903341626778959148noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170402698567456219.post-87511939536154811412011-03-18T09:40:00.003-06:002011-03-18T09:56:39.038-06:00Has Facebook replaced Blogging?<div style="text-align: center;">New Hair</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaQO4pOTLTgHSsICrLq9Zv5SRSVcp0culRyKdHerLzml2aMM3WE2MEKsZyEtiyhuyOXCFvZsnu8Zs0cfobp2dsfI_SyrTXDQ-mBR5lbGF7Y0KZX6-6uYCby_UGJmGLYTzzdW0toRmOj8c/s1600/Photo+60.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 372px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaQO4pOTLTgHSsICrLq9Zv5SRSVcp0culRyKdHerLzml2aMM3WE2MEKsZyEtiyhuyOXCFvZsnu8Zs0cfobp2dsfI_SyrTXDQ-mBR5lbGF7Y0KZX6-6uYCby_UGJmGLYTzzdW0toRmOj8c/s400/Photo+60.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585446795660903026" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">New Hobby: Running!

We enjoy this treat 3-4 times a week, which goes along well with my husband's hobby of collecting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dvds</span>. So, my "regular" popcorn recipe is to put 3 TBS oil, 2/3 cup yellow popcorn, and 2 tsp of Jolly Time butter salt into my old fashioned stove top popper on medium/high heat. Pop and turn until there is not more popping. Eat in the WONDERFUL popcorn bowls while watching a great movie on the Clear Play DVD player.

I used the Home Decor cartridge for the frames, the "hope" and the backgrounds. Scripture is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Zapfina</span> font, the sugar cookies are home baked, as well as the fondant. The black swirls and dots are hand painted. The fondant is lighter in the picture than in person. I used a tin pail purchased at the dollar spot in Target. I am hosting a Chaplain's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wife's</span> Coffee this week and we are creating these to take home. </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6F9WI5i9DoJEWCzUQ_FZDo_jQoktmdlF36lP5jh7keUYwqiwrUTPA4IEtkDpaXhYxkcV3OC9JwGvxxsJZ62Lp7VLjITwyw4A4HWZ0FPyZ-fdtB9CQfn0jPvdclOxz1ZWQDm0aLwDzDc/s1600/IMG_0932.JPG"><img style="display:block;
