Hi Chris and Lori - Welcome! I am Mimi traveling with my husband, Mack. Our kids are in college, so we'll be without them as well. Join in the fun here whenever you get the chance.

Hey Everyone! Thanks for the good wishes and prayers. I had a lot of sick cheerleaders this weekend and thought we were going to have to scratch because of it, but they are amazing with strong work ethics. They gave it all they had. I am so proud of them - they got 2nd at State. This is the 3rd or 4th year the school has gone and they have never done this well. My girls are amazing young ladies!

I'll catch up tomorrow - we just got home, and I am tired!!!

Congrats to you and the girls Mimi!!!

Made me cry......you know you keep this up and every holiday she is going to expect a cruise in her card.

The YouTube link finally became available overnight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otut3j9jBNM but I got tired of waiting, that's why I uploaded the video into Webshots.

Hazel admitted to me last night before I went to bed that she did a little snooping the other day and saw the page in my notebook with the information about the cruise reservation and how much balance was left to be paid. In one way, I'm glad she didn't say anything until after "the surprise" but it kind of took the enjoyment out for me, once I found out she knew about it beforehand.

Good Morning Everyone.......

 

[Verandah Man]

Lina and Brian had a very nice Valentine's Day date. Brian took Lina down to Cape May (along the Jersey Shore) for dinner and a walk on the beach.

They arrived back here a little before 10pm and we sat here and chatted for a while. Brian is really a very nice young man, I very happy that he and Lina are dating.

Good morning everyone...I fell asleep so early last night and was the last person awake in the house at 9:45. It was a long day yesterday, but a good day.

Mimi - well done to your

Sounds like they did a fantastic job

(Did they sneeze on their competitors ?)

Congrats to you and the girls Mimi!!!

Congrats Mimi, I know how hard those kids work!! Good Job.

Good morning everyone! Thanks for the congratulations - they did work very hard! We will enjoy this for a short while though. The hard work starts again in earnest - they're off to a national competition next month. I want them to do it for experience. They won bid in the summer for the true national competition, but it was too expensive for them to go. This one is an open competition and is closer to home, so even though it isn't the big one, there will be some good competition for them - it will give them something to aim for in the next couple of years.

Here is the recipe and a picture of the WW recipe I made for the party last night. It was fantastic (If I do say so myself)!

Cherries in the Snow
1 angelfood cake, cut into one inch cubes
1 8 oz. bar of fat free or reduced fat cream cheese, room temp.
1 cup of powdered sugar, sifted
12 oz. thawed fat free Cool Whip
1 can cherry pie filling (I've used the sugar free and it's okay, but they have a little whang to them)
2 tsp. almond flavoring


Beat cream cheese on medium till smooth and add powdered sugar a little at a time, till combined. Fold in Cool Whip gently till mixed with cream cheese mixture.

Stir the 2 tsp. almond flavoring into the cherry pie filling (I just do this while it's still in the can.)

Layer half the angel food cake cubes in a trifle bowl, spoon half the cream cheese mixture on top. Spread half the can of cherry pie filling on top of this. Repeat with remaining ingredients for one more layer.

This stuff is addictive! And has 2 WW points per half cup, for anyone counting.
