Aloha Follow Friday the Over 40 Set is here Flashing back!

 Alicia at More than Words started "Friday Photo Flashback". I'm having a blast & you can too! Dig out your photo album! Don't forget to sign up so we can all visit and comment on each others pics/blogs! IT'S GREAT FUN! You'll love walking down memory lane - just as I do! The above picture is my mom & dad (Carm & Russ).  I'm going to guess this was in the early sixties somewhere.  Not even sure where it was taken.  By the way they were dressed I'm going to say it's a wedding.  My dad passed away in January 30, 1980, and his birthday is January 8th.  Yep, the same day as Elvis Presley like he kept reminding everyone.  So it's a little early,but Happy Birthday Man, I miss you so very much and love you even more!  (When the phrase Man came out I used it so much that we called each other Man for a while.  Just jokin' around).

My question is: Do you have all your Christmas decorations down yet?

Everything outside is still up.  I have most of the rooms cleaned out (I put decorations everywhere), and the frontroom is half done.  What a job!  WHEW!  Then when I'm done I'm going to be posting about what I got for Christmas.  Right now no one knows except a choice few like NightOwlMama, my daughter.  Love you baby girl!  Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  Wasn't that fun?  ~hehe~  Have a Great Weekend Everyone, and THANKS for stopping by, and following me.   Oh!  Don't forget about this Monday - "MONDAY'S MUSIC MOVES ME".  This week's theme is a Freebie!  Post whatever song you like.  Surprise me, but let's boogie together!   I truly hope you ALL can make it. It's tons of fun!  Bring a friend!  Hell, bring lots of friends.  We want to PAR - TAY!  Have a great weekend! 

YOUR LAUGH FOR THE DAY!

  

And remember:

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOW!What a ride!'

HAPPY NEW YEAR & ONE of MY FAVORITE RECIPES!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year celebration!  We brought the new year in with Pina Colodas and appetizers!  I made a wonderful dip I totally love, and I will share the recipe with you now.  One of the bad things is you can't stop eating it, and my children love it.  They've been fighting over the bowl for years.  ~hehe~  Now, my husband and I fight over the bowl.  I should've taken a picture last night, but I didn't and to say the least it's all gone.  Sorry I don't know the name, but here's what you do.

Ingredients:  Philadelphia cream cheese (squished with a fork)
                   One of those small cans of V8 juice
                   Pkg. of Italian Seasoning (I like Good Seasons).

Take all these ingredients put them in a bowl, and mix them up really good to where the cream cheese in nice and smooth.  Put it in a pretty bowl, and you've got a wonderful dip for a plate full of raw veggies.  Also, put it in the frig for about 20 minutes.  I serve it with celery, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and sliced mushrooms.  I put a piece of parsley in the middle for decoration.

Totally love that stuff!  Another recipe I got from my sister-in-law (don't know the name of this one either - sorry), it's also a dip.  I usually bring these when I'm asked to bring something.  Everyone knows my recipes.

Ingredients:  1 Philadelphia Cream Cheese, 1 can of chili (with or without beans it's up to you), and a pkg. of shredded Mexican cheese or I've also used just cheddar and mozzarella. 

This one is just a glass dish shaped like a pie pan you take Philadelphia cream cheese and cover the dish with it.  Smash it down with a big table spoon.  Then take your can of chili and spread it all around on top of the cream cheese.  After that you take your shredded cheese and sprinkle on top of the Chili.  After your dish is put together I put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes (until the cheese is melted on top), and serve with taco chips.  mmmmm NUMMMMERSSSSSSSSSS!

So my friends, there you have it.  I'm going to start sharing some recipes with you from time to time that I've collected over the years.  Wait until I tell you the ones I got from my gram and my mother-in-law!

AND WHO WERE YOU KISSING AT MIDNIGHT???
