SNACK FOOD
Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks and I remember when I use to make my own version of micro-wave popcorn when the children needed an afternoon snack. Quick and easy! Affordable as well.
Put a quarter cup of popcorn kernels into a brown paper luncheon bag.
Fold the top of bag shut.
Place bag into micro-wave.
Nuke for a couple of minutes.
Slowly open brown bag to allow steam to vent if necessary.
This popcorn is low calorie with no oil or butter.
If you go easy on sugar-free jello, you can sprinkle jello straight from the box onto the popcorn. For a different tasting variety of flavors try raspberry.
Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the popcorn is good as well.
The photo of popcorn is from a box of store bought micro-wave popcorn. 4 packages for a dollar from the Dollar Store is very affordable as well.

MENTAL QUIZ
Buttons. How many buttons are here? If you can guess the right number, you're one smart cookie and cute as a button.
RELATIONSHIPS
See this Lady here? She's holding two miracles of life. She had two grandbabies in one year. In July 2008 she was sad and thought she might not ever be a Grandma, but her children had other plans! This Lady is my sister and she herself had two boys in one year eleven months a part. Sometimes we may get discouraged, but we don't have to stay there...God has other plans for us and we may be surprised how things turn around.
FOOD
Lunch today was a GOLDEN CUISINE TV Dinner from the kitchens of ConAgra Foods. Chicken Chow Mein over a bed of noodles mixed with diced carrots and red peppers. Served with two side dishes of Cauliflower and Sugar Snap Peas. If micro-waved the dinner is ready to eat in about 7 and a half minutes. Actually they are very nutritious with a decent taste.

CRAFTS
What on earth is this green THANG??? It's made of green pipe cleaners that someone swirled around and attached together with thread.
I just had to buy this thrift store find for a dollar and a half. I thought I might try to recreate one of these for fun. I had never seen one before.
Have you guessed what it is yet?
It is a hat made of green pipe cleaners! Can you imagine wearing a pipe cleaner hat? I thought this was clever.
DECORATING ON A SHOE STRING
A Tea Pot Night Light is being used to light the way for night time visits to the Powder Room.
Throw Rugs. A couple of K-Mart pink bathroom rugs were bought to warm up this old linoleum floor that has seen better days. Tile floor will eventually replace this worn out floor. That will be a great day when this project is finished. Pictures to follow.
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPEMENT FROM THE GRANNY NANNY CHRONICLES
Getting dressed. Working on dressing oneself at two years of age. Not everything is right side up or inside out, but sure to put a smile on one's sweet face. Just one of the fun ways to learn.
HOLIDAYS
I'm one of Santa's Helpers. Have you been naughty or nice? I would imagine you've been really good!

You have the most amazing pictures. I sat here for a while looking at the pipe cleaner thingy trying to figure out what it was. Lol! Thank you for sharing :)

That sweet sweater picture made me laugh!!! She is adorable!!!!

Love your pictures Deanna!
I am a follow popcorn lover.
A few years back my children started their own gourmet popcorn company. They started with 2 flavors and are up to 22. 8 )
Oh my goodness that pipe cleaner hat is so cute.
It's getting ready to be hat making season over here. Gotta break out my crochet hooks and yarn.
Hi Deanna,
I enjoyed reading your post today.
Your Granddaughter is a cutie and so clever dressing herself.
I like popcorn too and your pipe cleaner hat is neat.
Hugs

Man!! you put so many things here...how do I remember all of them!! HA--my memory is getting worser and worser as Pooh might say. I have wanted to try the popcorn in the bag idea but I need to remember to get the bags. I have been using a plastic type presto popcorn maker that goes in the microwave and it does a great job...but I always wonder about chemicals being released from the plastic. I will go write down bags on my list .
The hat is strange and interesting ;-) looks like something from the 40's or 50's

Oh, Deanna, pass that popcorn! I'm so happy for your sister...yes, God often has different plans for our lives...we just need to be patient.
Green pipe cleaner hat? LOL!!! No, I don't think I'll wear it, thank you anyway!
Great post...full of good things to make us smile!
God bless,

Dd,
Hot Buttery Popcorn and an ice cold rootbeer sounds really good right now.
Love the pictures of toddler putting her sweater on upside down!

I am proud to say I saw it was a hat right off... thanks fun post. And D, as I get older, I want things even more simple...
Thanks for showing the grandmother. I most often think I will never be a grandmother and it is very sad. I would have a big grin too if that ever happened to me.
