Anne?...is that you????


This is how it went down.....
Sitting in the CHICAGO Sheds Aquarium on a class trip with my Grandaughter Noelle...
I look up and see this white hair on this gal and think...
the only person besides myself with this hair is Anne Burrell from HGTV's "Chopped".
Looking harder...starting to follow in a causual but NOT STALKING manner...Ha!
I saunter up to her and say..."Anne, Is that you?"
Anne says..."Oh!,(slightly startled)... You have my hair!"
I say..."No!...You have MY HAIR"...we laugh and she graciously lets my daughter take our picture.
Now how exciting was that!!!!!
especially for all you foodies out there!
She was delightful and fun ....
Thanks Anne for being such a good sport.
Just another day in the life~
~Kathy~
hoping some her devine cooking skills rub off on me....

HOME FOR EASTER....

There may be snow!!!!! outside, (seriously!!!!)
but Spring has sprung on the inside, just in time for Easter.
Looking forward to making Happy Easter memories with the family this weekend...
How about you?
We're trying new recipes...

May the Blessings of EASTER surround you and yours this season...



Easter always makes me thankful that HE has RISEN...and that HE is INCHARGE...NOT me.

Meet my NEW Bestfriends...

Let me introduce you to the guys at "Sweet Thunder"... Ridiculously talented and eager to transform any wimpy sounding car into the bad boy it was intended to be!!!!! Hit their web site and learn all about them....you can even HEAR some of their work on the site! (the best part!) Resently flew to Virginia Beach to drive back this mustang...an amazing story in itself which I'll save for a later date. This is what you do when the" Love of your life" checks into "Hotel Heaven"before you do... Let's just call this my "Therapy"... I'm a car girl...no surprise, (more of a truck girl really) but when I laid my eyes on this baby I new Dave was nudging me to it. Same "Grabber Blue" color Ford used in the 70's and stopped until 2010. Now their back again! This is the color of Daves first car he picked me up in on our first date...back in the dark ages...It was a no-brainer for me....I bought her. On the drive home from Virginia I told my son the next step was to put a dual exhaust in this baby cause......well, no use explaining it...you either get it or you don't. I needed to feel the car. AND HEAR IT! Meet my new PIPES!
Yeah! That's what I'm talkin bout!

Pipes!!!!!!! Custom built to fit the Mustang....What an exhaust system!

They did the most amazing job....and you should see this SHOP!

Hands down the most immaculate place I've ever been in.

I brought the Stang in on Wednesday and 48 hours later I'm riding down the road with the sweetest sounding thunder under my hood!

Not only are they top notch good ...but fast.

The car came with a singel exhaust...and very little NOISE.... so NOT cool. The boys changed up the back to handle their custom dual exhaust.



All we need is a little nice weather!...

You'll definately HEAR me coming!!!!!

Va-R O O M........

Thanks "Sweet Thunder"....you guys got it goin on!

xoxo~Kathy.
