New Things Monday

I was a very picky eater when I was little.  Whenever, I had eggs with breakfast, I always had scrambled.  Yesterday, Nate talked about making a toast and egg sandwich.  I told him "Nate, I've never had a sunny side up/down egg, and I don't even know how to make one".  I got on the internets and watched a youtube video on how to make a sunny side up/down egg.  Then I got up to make one and Nate said "I'll make your sunny side egg".  I said "okay" and we both headed to the kitchen.  
I was in charge of making toast and Nate made the eggs.

Crack your egg in your pan....


Let your egg cook up.....I love this picture.  :)


Egg cooking some more......

Carefully flip the egg over and cook a little bit on the other side.....

I took a bite and loved it.  It was so good.

I broke the yolk and took a bite.  YUM!  :)

And then I finished off my egg with the toast.

I liked my first sunny side down egg.  Thanks Nate!  :)  I prefer scrambled b/c I love scrambled eggs but the sunny side down changes the egg just a bit to make it into something a little different.  :)

Healing Hearts Walk to Remember 2012

Today, was the 5th Annual Healing Hearts Memory Walk.  You walk in memory of your loving angel babies.  It's a very sad event but it's also nice to have an event where everyone can come together and remember their angel babies.


Normally, we do the walk and then our baby names are announced with a bell being rung for each angel baby.  Then we normally release balloons.  But........apparently, there's a worldwide helium shortage so the organizers of the walk had to go with plan B.  They decided we would release butterflies. 

These containers held the butterflies.

Here's the containers being opened to release the butterflies.

They kinda just sat in the container and slowly fluttered out.  Some of them needed help to take flight.

My friend, Sharon found this one and she helped it take off.

I found this butterfly and helped it.


Angel Babies together in HEAVEN and forever in our hearts.

Spotsylvania Farmers Market: Trip 8


I went to the Spotsy Farmers Market today for some fresh goodies.  I had $10 in cash.  I got 2 tomatoes, 1 squash, 1 zucchini (all veggies for $2.95), 3 sea salt chocolate chip cookies ($2.62) and 8 red delicious apples ($4.00).  :)  I spent all but .43 cents.  :)  Today, was the last day at the Hospital where they've been doing the Farmers Market.  I'm going to miss going there.  They will still be at other locations in the area but I liked going to this one the best b/c it was so close to where I live.  Hopefully, they will open back up there next year since they did really good business there.

Pumpkins 2012

So, I decided to get some pumpkins today.  I stopped off at 7-Eleven for a slurpee and as I was leaving I saw a Google Map Street Car.  How awesome???  



I headed to Snead's Asparagus Farm to get my pumpkins.



Pumpkin Patch.  :)

Here's the first pumpkin that caught my eye.


Each pumpkin is $6.00 each.  I got 2.

I drove up to the farm house to pay and there was this cute sign on the porch.


The big white box on the step is an honor box.  You put your money/check in there.

I then walked about and took some pictures of the pumpkins they had all over.





Really big pumpkins already picked were $10 each.  Oh...I left the farm and headed down to the Spotsy Farmers Market.  I saw the google maps car again.  LOL  It was going in the other direction.

Here's my pumpkins on my step.  The little one is a surprise pumpkin from Kristen.  :)


Via Colori 2012


This past weekend was Via Colori 2012.  Ashley and Kristen came to help on Sunday.




This is what my friend Christal at the radio station came up with for this years 'art'.

I think we ALL did a great job!!  It was a lot of fun!  I was glad my little sister and BFF were able to come help us.  I think everyone had a great time.


Here's some other artists at work.....

















After we got cleaned up we went over to see Joe, Sharon and Agnes.  Then we went to Castiglia's together for dinner.  Here's Agnes and Joe ready to go home.  She's getting sooooo big.  :)
