Show Us Your Life {Pets}

Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner

Today is Show Us Your Life, Pets edition. Here is Rosie, who is are Pebroke Welsh Corgi. We’ve had her for about 9 years. We were living in our first home, had only been there a few months. We had been without a dog for not quite a year after having our other Pembroke Corgi, Jenny, pass away. Jenny

Rosie is a lover of popcorn, candy (only because she’s good at somehow getting a hold of candy, which she’s not supposed to have!), sleeping, long naps in the sun while lying on the deck, and relaxing in one of the 2 ‘beds’ we have for her. She’s very tolerant of the 2 boys.

Hugs

My Corgi

We always have a great time out at Mr. Tony’s place, cutting wood, playing with the dogs, walking around, watching the horses, chasing the chickens…What more could you ask for?

Friday’s Favorite: Restaurant Nutrition App



by: Foundation HealthCare Network
Category: Healthcare & Fitness
Released: August 2008
Size: 1.1 MB

I love this app. This is great for those of us who are trying to make better choices when we have no other choice but to east fast food. Of course, since I have an iPod and can’t access it when I’m out I have to do where I have free wifi. Regardless I find this very useful and informative. Below you can see the information that it gives you for the item you’re trying to look up.



Here it shows the screen which is so awesome. It enables you to do a search. So say your going out for dinner and know you should only be eating 500 calories, just type that in and it will narrow down your choices for you! Love that. You can also create a profile and keep up with the foods your eating each day.



Check it out!

Halloween Costumes Through the Years

For Kelly’s Show Us Your Life entry, I’m posting my kids’ pictures. I would at some point like to go through all my old pics and see if I can find pictures from my childhood Halloweens and scan them in. Maybe I’ll have that done by next Halloween…

1999 – I’m not sure what happened this year. I can’t find pictures and I’m thinking I don’t have any. I think this might have been the year Rob and I were in the mountains while Drew hung out with his great grandparents.

Drew's first Halloween {cow}

Sorry for the lack of quality of several of these pics. The older ones are either scanned in or taken with my Sony Mavica disk digital camera. LOL!

Fall Decorations

This year is the first year of decorated for fall in several years. I love decorating for fall. It’s nothing major or extravagant. I love mums and pumpkins, but you won’t see those this year due to lack of funds. We will carve a pumpkin, but haven’t done that yet. I also love pumpkin spice candles in the fall. MMmmmmm….

Most of my Fall/Halloween decorations were gifts from past students. I also used to love to go to Big Lots and find little knick-knacks too. I have some great ideas for Fall/Halloween decorations and recipes. I’m hoping to go next week and find some good deals on the materials I need to make them. Stay tuned as I will be posting them next week.


I made that pumpkin on the right.
