I didn't know

I like tacos!! My mom will testify to that. When growing up, Taco night at our house meant I would eat 4 or 5 of them. My sister and I discovered that we really liked to slice green olives and put them on the tacos too. But the reason I am blogging is because of my new fiesta bargain find. I usually get those little pre-measure packets of seasoning every time we have tacos. Look what I found last week...



Those little seasoning packets are about $0.47 per unit, this pretty little bottle-o-spices was $0.20 per unit. And I can add a little less than recommended to make it last longer! I had no idea that they made this, I just always looked for the packets and would use them. If you come visit us.....We'll have tacos, but I wont make you eat green olives unless you want them.

Peacan update

I went to the store and saw a bag of peacans about the same size as what I collected. It was $11!! I need to go golfing more often. Or, as a commenter said, I could chop down our pine trees in the backyard and plant peacan trees instead.

Day after Christmas

We ate dinner on our porch the day after Christmas. The dog got into a little bit of trouble.....


Joe, Look familiar???

Brown Grass

Looking in our back yard, I thought my lawn was brown.



Then I realized it was pine needles...and lot's of them.



This must be the equivalent of 'Fall'. All the needles fall and the trees are bare....



Nope, still green. I guess it's not like fall....I am going to have to rake year round...bummer...Good thing we didn't get rid of the rakes with the snow shovels.

Golf outing

I went golfing two weeks ago. (Yes, I know it is cold where some of you are, and yes you can golf year round down here). The grass was brown, so that was a little weird, but otherwise it was just a round of golf. Look what else I found!!



(Don't tell the guys in the club house! I wanted to make sure I got my money's worth. I kept picking up a few at each of the holes and stuffing them in my bag. When I got home I couldn't believe how many I had!!)

Then later that week I was eating a bag of planters mixed nuts. This is what a Pecan looks like from Planters. (kinda wimpy)



This is the size of the pecan I picked off the golf course. I think cracking it open and picking it out of the shell makes it taste better.



Planters..if you're reading this. Give me call. If you pay for my husbands golfing, I can harvest better Pecans for you.

Christmas Morning

I can't believe I am going to put this picture up but...Bob threatened me that if I put his picture up, he would make a guest appearance on my blog and post my picture...so I am beating him to the punch...this is for my mom.

Bob says thanks for the Tiger Woods Golf game, obviously we couldn't wait to try it out this morning.





And this is for the Landi Family....We got the parents to drive and play our Wii. You should have heard Dad L taunting Mom L when he came in 9th and she came in 12th(again)


Then they got serious while racing the cows....



I am also very impressed with Joe's ability to pick out women's fashion. Meg, you've done such a good job with him!


Merry Christmas!!

fraud alert

I am very impressed with Discover card. We bought a new car on Saturday. (Yeah!!! It was a 2008 Pre-Owned Camry SE, Silver, 16000 miles. We traded in Bob's car)
Anyway....we finished up around 7:00pm. We charged some of it in order to get bonus points. Well I got a phone call at 8:00 on my cell phone from Discover card Fraud alert. They were calling to check on a 'large amount' recently charged on our card. Pretty impressive that there is some computer software watching every purchase and sending an alert when something doesn't match my normal purchasing pattern. On second hand....Kinda scary that there is a computer system that knows when my spending pattern is off......Either way....Don't steal my card and spend a lot of money on it.
