Spring Break
We went to Branson, MO to see my sister sing during her Spring Break.
Here is my husband, me, my sister’s friend – Tanner, my sister, and my Mimi.
Their show choir performed two nights in a row as the opening act. The first night was great!! We got video of it. The second night was very good, but they all seemed tired. I’m sure they didn’t get a whole lot of sleep while they were there.
Same group….my Mom instead of Mimi at the right side.
I could have used a little more make-up!!!
Here is video of my sister and her partner singing and dancing to a song that I did when I was in Show Choir!!

Free or Almost Free March 28, 2009
I have been couponing for several months now. There are good weeks and bad weeks. One Frugal Chick got me started. I read Money Saving Mom everyday and several other blogs that help me find good deals for things that I use. This week was a good week. Here is what I got for free or almost free:
The three baguettes were free. The Hunts tomato sauce was 15 cents/can, the ribeye steak was free and the two T-Bone steaks were $1 each.
I am off to make French Toast Bake with one of my baguettes.
Sophie enjoyed a chocolate-covered raisin!
Here is Sophie feeling tall on a mattress we had propped up on a wall!!
This week Sophie supposedly ate a chocolate covered raisin. I did not see it with my own eyes, but my neighbor children said they saw Sophie eat it! Raisins are very toxic to dogs. Some dogs are immune, but you should never give you dog raisins or grapes. And as you all know, dogs are not supposed to have chocolate. I didn’t want to alarm my neighbors, so I played it off like it was no big deal. When I got home, Sophie appeared fine but I decided to call the vet just in case. I called the vet, and he said she should be fine if it was just one. They told me to bring her in should she start vomiting, acting lathragic, or not acting like herself.
As you can tell, she survived…and enjoying life…a little too much…
