Pretzel Sunday


I just love this picture of Muffin. Whenever I separate laundry, she has to jump into the baskets of clothes (yuck!). Last week she stayed in this basket while I was throwing jeans in it. I finally got down on the floor and took her picture buried under several pairs of jeans. Too cute, but she's not too smart!

The second photo is Corby and Kaitlin's first attempt ever at making pretzels. As they were rolling them out, they both complained that they weren't going to turn out - said the dough was too thick and hard to handle. Well, THEY ARE GREAT! I brushed a little butter on my warm pretzel, and YUM, YUM, YUM! Kaitlin and I both like the Aunt Annie's pretzels at the mall, and these are very comparable! Now I have my own pretzel makers at home! That's nice, as we very rarely go to the mall.

Brandon and I got online this morning and applied for his school loan, the part he has to supplement. It's a lot of money for freshman year, so of course, we had to co-sign for him. Hopefully he will get that internship that pays $2500. We won't know until the first of August. He got his room assignment in the mail yesterday, and it IS his good friend, Brady. Although we figured that was who his roommate would be, since they both applied to room together; there are no sure things - so they were both happy when they found out. I've started making a list of things he will be needing to take along. I'm trying to pick up a few things here and there so we aren't hit with a huge amount come the middle of August!

The boys are both working 11-8 today; Kaitlin is off. Corby plans to fix chicken & noodles for dinner. I am doing my usual Sunday chores: laundry, laundry, laundry and more laundry (along with a few other things!).

I'm still reading Revenge of Innocents, by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg. I haven't had much time to read the last few days, but I'm about 2/3 through it, and it's good.

Quote for the day:
LIBERTY
one of the most valuable
blessings that Heaven has
bestowed upon mankind.

Life Goes On

Life changed for me on July 17, 2017. I was laid off from the place I worked for almost 41 years.

I wasn't totally surprised. After all, layoffs have become the norm at newspapers. I was hoping I could make it at least another year.

But...alas...I didn't.

The Wichita Eagle has been my home and my life for so long. I started just after I turned 20 years old. Back in the good old days. What have I done over the years?

Job 1 - Classified Ad Taker
Job 2 - Classified Ad Support Staff
Job 3 - Ad Services Head Typist
Job 4 - Newspaper Layout Assistant
Job 5 - Production Director Secretary
Job 6 - VP/Operations Administrative Assistant
Job 7 - Executive Administrative Assistant and Layout Coordinator
Job 8 - Page Layout Manager
Job 9 - Prepress Manager
Job 10 - Advertising Customer Service Manager

There are other job duties in between all of these milestones. I dedicated my heart and soul to the Eagle. I started when I was so young. I met my husband while I worked there. I had all three of my child…

REVIEW - Need to Know by Karen Cleveland

5 STARS
Need to Know
Karen Cleveland
Ballantine Books
RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2018

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this book by Karen Cleveland.

Do books about the possibility of Russian sleeper cells in the US interest you? How about a CIA analyst who gets herself involved in a major "situation"?

Need to Know kept me on the edge of my seat, from the first paragraph to the very last. I didn't want to put it down, but when I had to, all I did was think about it. I explained what was going on to my husband, who is not a reader. Even he was intrigued. If you like fast-paced, punch-you-in-the-face kind of action, this book is for you.

Very highly recommend!

REVIEW: The Lost Girls by Allison Brennan

THE LOST GIRLS
by ALLISON BRENNAN
St. Martin's Press
November 1, 2016
5 STARS

Love Brennan's Lucy Kincaid series!

Siobhan Walsh has been looking for two sisters who disappeared 2 years ago. She feels responsible, so when she gets a phone call from a Texas priest, who has found an abandoned newborn with a locket nearby that she'd given one of the girls; she goes to Texas in hopes of finding them. She calls in her FBI friends, including Lucy Kincaid, and the search is on. Meanwhile, Lucy's fiance, Sean, has an unexpected visit from a former girlfriend. Her husband, and the 12 year old son he never knew he had, have disappeared in Mexico. So it's time for the Rogan family to find out what's going on.

This is a suspenseful, hard-to-put-down book, so hang on for the ride! Be prepared for a human trafficking story that is hard to stomach, and more than likely, all too true in this day and age. Mexican cartels, murder and mayhem. This book has it all.
