Laura's Baked Potato Soup.

My cousin Laura who lives in Guelph Ontario has started a family blog called “Happy Canadian Home” and has posted many great organizing ideas, recipes and other interesting things useful around the house. Her recipe posting of “Baked Potato Soup” brought as they say the house down!

A simple comfort food recipe I made/delivered it to a friend that had just had back surgery a few weeks ago and they really enjoyed it!

You can find the recipe and other useful things at http://www.happycanadianhome.com/

Enjoy!

Spring has sprung!

Sunny mild January weather is causing the Daffodils in the garden to think its spring. Looks like we’ll have an early blooming this year!

Our forsythia bushes are sprouting flowers even before leaves! What’s up with that??

Confusion in the Hamborsky family!

My very dear and long time friend Doug Hamborsky a true blue U of M fan and alumnus suffered greatly during this year’s college football season as his wife Rhonda is a MS alumnus and fan who has brainwashed her children into following in her footsteps by cheering for that other team!!

This year a giant Spartan Christmas decoration appeared on their lawn throwing poor Doug into an unbelievable state of confusion as you can clearly see in the above picture, lol!

New Years 2012

Isaiah monitoring the 2012 New Years Eve kid’s fireworks display. He and Gab provided us with the best fireworks extravaganza to date. It was great fun to watch them fire off their display!

Beth looking forward to a wonderful 2012. You go girl!!

Christmas Kindle Fire

Santa surprised me with a new Kindle Fire tablet Christmas morning. No more traveling with a laptop for me. The Kindle allows me to check my personal email, Facebook, address and search the internet, play games and watch movies. The only improvements I would like to see are a camera to allow me to Skype, G4 for constant online capability and a possible expansion mini SD slot to upgrade memory storage. It is a really “cool” toy! Thanks Santa!
