OK, good. Anyway, welcome, ma'am!<br /><br />Erica, aren't tuna casseroles the best? Especially with the potato chip topping! LOVE IT! My dad's fav was red jello with bananas. We also couldn't afford real Kool-aid, so we had to buy Flav-R-aid, as they were like 10 for a dollar. And Top Ramen noodles...didn't know those were cheap. To us they were just FUN AND EXCITING to swallow down your throat and then pull back out. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690873703374171148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251395280163186306.post-59600502416556296132010-03-10T20:26:04.038-08:002010-03-10T20:26:04.038-08:00Lisa, I've slacked off...reading, I mean. But...Lisa, I've slacked off...reading, I mean. But I knew this wonderful blog would have much knowledge and humor for me to lap up - to refill the coffers and get me going again and I was right...yet again. Yes, I'm always right. Ask my husband - or just look at him - it's tattoo-ed on his forehead "My wife is always right." Anyway, this is lovely...and reminds me of my own childhood, penny candy and all. We used to walk in the burrow pit beside the old highway, about half a mile to Peterson's Store for our little brown bag full of swedish raspberries and tootsie rolls (still my fav). And we'd go to my Dad's city league baseball games and climb all over the big fighter jets in the outdoor museum while we heard the *clack* of the ball hitting the bat, and the roars of the crowds that consisted of everyone we'd ever met and their parents. I loved summers as a kid! Rolling up my pantlegs and taking off my dirty 'tenna-runners' and wade into the ditch to catch minnows. We didn't have any money either...lots of tuna casseroles with potato chips sprinkled on top and heaven knows how many jello salads. But, it was always homemade - including the bread. Yours looks wonderful, by the way. Thanks for this...got my memories all stirred up. :)Erica Borrowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770401460830345851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251395280163186306.post-40799999702334641912010-03-10T10:12:55.555-08:002010-03-10T10:12:55.555-08:00I want to come live at your house.

Nothing worse than a fast shot of humility. But I thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement. You always build me up to the highest heights!<br /><br />Anony, you're just so adept at wide eyed and innocent, aren't you? "Mmmm. Wish I had some fresh homemade bread. Sure would be nice if somebody served the Relief Society Pres once in a while." WELL, BAT YOUR EYES NO MORE, YOUNG LADY! IT'S ON IT'S WAY OVER! Love you!<br /><br />Boo, glad you're my sis.

Holy crap - that sounded SO good! Now - a reader might think that this was "not the norm" ... that we were "lucky" ... and that behind "closed doors" we were completely dysfunctional. Because isn't that what REALLY happens in "happy" homes??? I am here to tell it is it all true ... and although we had NO money (think 4 months behind in the mtg), and we drank powdered milk and ate eggs A LOT ... with spam.... we were blessed because of our family! We truly love each other. Our parents taught us well - because it mattered to them not to be selfish. And amazingly enough we all love each other still!kara elmorehttp://www.karaelmore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251395280163186306.post-10981215016273220222010-03-09T13:16:27.020-08:002010-03-09T13:16:27.020-08:00What a BEAUTIFUL tribute to your parents!

I hope that one day I will hear such beautiful words come out of my children's mouths.<br /><br />I've seen Sassy on her perch when I drive by at night and think it's hysterical. I've often wondered what she was doing. Is she bored? Do you need the fish back? YES they are STILL ALIVE....ALL 4 of them!!!<br /><br />BTW...we had a brown van too!With enough speed that baby could FLY over the rail road tracks. Not that I'd know that first hand as I was too embarrassed to drive it. I HAD to drive it to school ONE day and I parked it down a neighborhood street. There was NO WAY that I would be seen in it in the high school parking lot. Apparently I was a self-proclaimed princess. Stupid me. Good times :)<br />Love ya....AnonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251395280163186306.post-3877000422888006992010-03-09T12:25:14.337-08:002010-03-09T12:25:14.337-08:00Oh, Krista, you silly.

That's what my mom did, and it make it OK. And nope, not like Nick, though I wanted desperately to be. BTW, about the conference, I can't go, as I'm hosting a shower. But maybe by the next one, I'll be ready for it.

I don't know which titles you held, but I'm sure they were similar to Nicki's "Best All-Round", Homecoming Queen (or at least a candidate, etc. etc. You & Nicki are the best all round, still to this day! <br /><br />About being holy - yeah, I need to work on that one. My kids will never be able to bear testimony that they never heard a swear word escape my lips - mainly because damn and hell aren't swear words in Australia - and I AM a dual citizen, afterall.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870337424997944073noreply@blogger.com
