Let's Have a Look-See

I received a new kindle for my birthday. It is not a kindle fire, just the paperwhite, which means, I won't have to turn on the lights when I read in the middle of the night. What can I say?   I have some sleeping issues. Unfortunately, I am reading my mothers old kindle. She has some books on here that I want to read. I have several more to go. So, what do I do with my old one? Oh the joys of technology! Well, I tell you this as I am planning a road trip to see this little guy. Really, how many kindles should I take? I love his hair. It makes me smile.

I love graduation photos. I don't really love graduation ceremonies, but to get the pictures, I have to go. Keith got his Master of  Education in Special Ed, yesterday. Here is a picture to add to the other classics . (I can't believe I wore the same shirt--talk about a classic.) However, when you get your masters with a wife, two kids and full time job, This picture becomes the classic. Because he had his hands full. We spent the rest of the day at the park. We had a picnic, and walked in the water. It was a good day and we are proud of Keith.

So the city of Jerome had a 4th of July ceremony. It was a cool morning. With a little breeze. Now, this guy rang the bell during the minute of silence --- which isn't very silent. These guys had to stand through the entire program... To have a 1 volley salute....but it was loud. After a reading of the Declaration of Independence, which at one point, I thought that we may have been declaring independence from Obama, this group read a list of names, over 400 of them. They were veterans of WW2 buried in the Jerome cemetery. It was also covered by the local news . And if you don't blink, you will see Wes and I. We had a little bbq in the evening and then listened to this crazy  place pop and bang, as they went crazy with fireworks. Hope you had a great   4th too.

I know some people don't think it can get hot in Idaho, but it is.  I just wanted to share this recipe with you.  I found them on ,  and they are fast, easy, and great for a hot, summer day. By the way, I use sugar free pudding and they would be great with nuts.
