Just call me Martha

Really? 2 days in a row I'm in the kitchen whipping up something fabulous? Today I made chicken Pot pies and used my fancy little pot pie tin that my friend Tanya bought me. It sure is handy and makes the nicest little pies, great for Greg and I, eat 2 tonight and freeze the other 2 for another night.
Love it Tanya ...thanks so much I know it will get alot of oven time now that the weather is about to change.

OH Yum

Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

(1) 15 oz pumpkin
(1) Box Vanilla pudding
(1) block cream cheese
(1) container Cool Whip
Sugar to taste
Cinnamon on top

Serve with Graham crackers - and all I can say is "Yum". I made this simple pumpkin dip for my class today and Regina made the most delicious Weight Watcher Pumpkin spice muffins and what a feast.
Great class today ladies, loved all the Viking Knit colors and embellishments but most of all the energy in class today was amazing.

Clark County Shooting Range

Last week we met some friends at the Clark County Shooting range for a morning of shooting and then lunch. Fun morning with George and Petya and I think I have improved since the last time we went shooting. Between my kickboxing and shooting I am becoming one "bad ass" ....NOT. Thanks guys for joining us!!

Congratulations Ronna

Last night Greg and I were invited to help our friend Ronna celebrate her graduation from The Dale Carnegie 12 week Human Resource  Leadership program. We really didn't know what to expect we just knew we wanted to be there to support her. The graduation was at the Metro Headquarters and of course Ronna showed us where "bad boys, bad boys" do their training sessions. When the program started all the students had to introduce themselves and their guest and then address each guest individually by using one of the many Dale Carnegie principals, which is to give honest and sincere appreciation for that person with intention to tell him or her what and why they admired about them and give a specific example. Ronna said the nicest things to Greg and I and I have to admit she did bring a tear to my eye. After all the guests had been addressed then all the students had to get up and give a 3 min. speech ... Ronna is an excellent speaker. Shortly after there were a few special awards and one award is only given to the ONE person in the class that was the most outstanding achiever during the 12 weeks ....yup you got it, Ronna took that award along with a few others. Congratulations Ronna, thank you for including Greg and I in your special evening we really enjoyed it ...yes even the group sessions we had to participate in, that took me back to my corporate days.

I hope you dance


Today would have been my dear friends 70th birthday and I can't believe she is gone I miss her like crazy. Pat fought the bravest battle with cancer several times and finally lost that fight in 2010. We all loved her and miss her but I know for a fact she is singing and dancing up there looking down on us and thinking ...I had a great ride. Miss you so much Patty Cakes.
