Make Mine A Double...

Yep. We did it. We thought we could resist but the call was too strong!







We had a Family Day at KFC - throwing caution and any shred of healthiness we may have had to the wind...

Behold the "Double Down Sandwich". I said I'd do it, didn't I??

This insane "sandwich" was so magical - just too good to be true - I wanted to "Snopes" this thing!! Is it truth? Urban Legend?




Let me just say this: DEEEE-LISHHHH!!! And even more than that....a ton of fun. This is a gutbuster, no way I could eat more than one of these. But we sure had a lot of laughs eating this thing! And the grease....oh the grease....

As my pictures will show, the grease took on a life of it's own, coating my camera lens and every square inch of our digestive system.

So my recommendation: try this. Now. Get off the computer. And laugh with your loved ones! Be blessed friends!

Happy 40th Dear!

Murray had his 40th Birthday on Saturday and we enjoyed a family day in Ft. Collins. The lucky birthday boy got to spend his birthday money any way he wanted! tee hee! So of course we went to the Army Supply Store where he purchased a new gun holstery thing that is camoflage, got some cases for his ammo, and a new thingie for his shotgun.... Why yes, I AM using the technical terms! Sheesh...

Next off to lunch at Thai Pepper - the food was great and very authentic! Happy tummies all around! We even ran into friends there who had recommended the place to us. It's a small world!

Then we went to the music store and Murray got the mother of all guitar pedals there - he has enjoyed using it and spent a good 2 hours rocking out on his electric and trying all the different effects when we got home.

On Sunday, after church, we invited some friends over for a little birthday get together - and were overwhelmed by the massive hoard that showed up. Seriously, it was CROWDED. And HOT. And oxygen was at the bare minimum. But it was great to see all the friends that Murray has made and we are just glad our house could hold all these folks - at one time he counted 19 people just in the kitchen! An all-time record for us. It was a great time, lots of food, fun and fellowship. Afterwards we both needed a nap. Which we didn't get.

Anyway, Murray did endure some good-natured ribbing about being over the hill. And I did buy him laxatives and icy hot. And a cane with a horn and rear view mirror attached. But the best part is having friends and family to share our day and to laugh with.

Life, even at 40, is good.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Trap Season!!!!!!!

We signed up for Trap League tonight and Murray and I can't wait to get started! Trap is really something we enjoy doing together - granted, we are not on the same team so that eliminates any potential competitive drama! LOL! I haven't shot since Skeet League and that was many months ago. Where did the time go???

So enough reflecting.

In the coming weeks we'll get a few practice rounds in and then it's SHOOTIN' TIME!!! YAY!!!!

My Baby is 14...

...and she has a new boyfriend! NOT REALLY!!!!!

Darian had a "Napoleon Dynamite" Party for her 14th birthday and it was a ton of fun! And of course her cake had to be a red velvet "Pedro loves Darian" cake!! :)

Happy Birthday sweetie pie! I hope it's the best year ever!

KFC = Love

Sweet Baby Jesus - I thank you for the geniuses at KFC for inventing this hot little number!

Behold the "Double Down Sandwich".

The website says it has 2 pieces of bacon, 2 kinds of cheese, special sauce, and of course how do you miss the two chicken filets - so good who needs a BUN?!?!

OK, so next time I'm in Cheyenne I'm totally checking this thing out!
