Once in a blue moon

Yesterday was a blue moon day.  

I'm not an astronomy enthusiast or anything like that but I learned that the modern day definition of a Blue Moon is when there are 2 full moons in one month. 

I now have 3 years to learn how to get the best picture I can of the moon.  Or maybe I'll just learn how to Photoshop a picture of the moon!

Either way, see you on July 31, 2015.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Pi Day

Cheers to you math teachers like my sister and math lovers like the Bassman and my daughters.  Thank goodness my daughters love math.  And if they needed help they could call on their Dad or my sister.  Me, I'm not so much help in the math department, I tend to be IT Mom.  And if you've seen the Staples commercial where they can't find IT Mom, I can totally relate! 

Anyway, back to Pi day.  I know you were wondering so here it is just so you don't have to look it up  π = 3.14159.  

Cheers!

Since I'm not such a math person, maybe I'll celebrate with some pie that I can relate to. 

Cheers!

Hospice Chili Challenge

Recently, I volunteered at our local Hospice Chili Challenge fund raiser.   I met some really nice people and ate some really good chili too!    While peeling about a ton of potatoes, I met the sister of my boss at my first job.  I won't say how long ago my first job has been!   I love chili, but I didn't prepare any for the competition.  So that freed me up to do lots of tasting.  After the tasting, I would be helping count the tickets to determine the People's Choice winner.   

See the Double Chocolate Chip Muffins I made?  They're way down at the end of this table of yumminess.


Bake Sale

After bidding on several things at the silent auction, I did win a nice tote bag and a haircut coupon.

There were several old lockers painted by students.  This one raised over $300 in the auction. 



Lots of paintings, drawings, and photos from talented artists in the Fine Art section.

I thought this was neat.  It's a lion made of rope.  Supposedly, it was a craft made by seaman while at sea.

Then there's the chili.  There were all kinds of chili.  The chicken chili was wonderful.  There was also real estate chili, church chili, political chili, etc. etc.

This looks like Auburn chili, but it's actually rocket science chili.

...and the dental chili...I just had to ask if it was good for my teeth (ha ha)!



I did ask the politicians if their chili was political chili.  No pictures though, there are enough political pictures around these days.   Don't you think?

And the winners received a chili award.

A very successful fund raiser for a very worth cause.

End of the Internet

Today I found the end of the internet. 

I didn't even know there was an end.  It's true.  Google said it was, so it must be true.   And I also didn't realize there are other internets I can choose to look for.  It's true.

See? 

This cracked me up!  

As a sometimes frustrated-bloggie-newbie dealing with Blogger, I have also been afflicted with a non-computer related virus that is having its way with me this week.  This was just what I needed for a good laugh in my groggy state of mind! 

I guess you just had to be there.  

On this internet...
