Saturday Afternoon Shout Out - I actually have plans tonight?!

Well it seems that I will have to do my Saturday Night 'shout out' this afternoon. I can hardly believe it, I have plans tonight! - But that's for another blog, I don't have to much to blog about gotta save what I got.

My 'shout out' today goes to my sister, Jill, who taught me to read. I know, I know she's 10 years younger than me and it should have been the other way around.
Actually Jill taught me to really love to read. She loves books and her love is infectious. Now we swap good books back and forth. I remember a few days before Ethan was born sitting on the couch with Jill, she and I would take turns reading Harry Potter #4 out loud (good times).

One of our fav things to do is take a trip to the library. I get chills when I go to the library, so many books, so little time - plus I am a slow reader.
Thanks Jill.

Nothin' Like a Cup of Cocoa

A shout out to my mom for giving me my love of hot chocolate. I remember my mom drinking hot chocolate on cold winters nights. At least it's one thing to look forward to when the weather sucks!

I added my own touch by doubling the calories and adding canned whipped cream. Everything is better when you can double the calories.

Just a note, when looking on-line for canned whipped cream, be very careful.

My Saturday Night Shout Out!

I've decided that a lot of people have influenced my life - stay with me I am not gonna go all grown up on you- and every single person in my life has given me great ideas. Some think I am creative, but really I am good at plagiarizing other ideas and adjusting them just enough to call it my own.

So, every Saturday night I am going to give a 'shout out'. Maybe you influenced me and never knew. So Saturday nights is my night to say thank you on a public stage. - it's still public if only 2 people read this thing right?

So many to choose from but;

SHOUT OUT TO THE STEED FAMILY!

For introducing me to melted cheese in my chicken noodle soup.

If you haven't tried this ... well just try it, it's good. I've eaten this delicious combo hundreds of times, and I almost always think of Sunday lunches after church at the Steeds.

Good Times.
