Wordless Wednesday (Banana Ice Cream)!

I know this is supposed to be wordless, but this Ice Cream is soooo good & all you need is Banana's, that's right just one ingredient!

Slice the banana's & freeze them for 2 hours, then put them in the blender. It's best with riper banana's. Scrape the bowl a couple of times, I added about 1/3 cup of water to get it really smooth too. Yummy in your tummy:)) (I used about 6 banana's to make that batch)

Wordless Wednesday & my 100th Post!!

These were on my neighbor's back porch in a cage she leaves out for the feral cats! Didn't think they would let me get this close to take a picture!


It's taken me some time to get here, as I started blogging on Friday July 25th 2008, but I have made it to my 100th post!!!

I had times where I thought I didn't really have anything to put down, but blogging isn't always about putting down what's been going on in your own life. It can be about other's too.

I've met so many people along the way since I started blogging, people I have known from back when I was on Maya's Mom, to people I have met on the blogging scene. It's quite an extraordinary journey to be allowed into other people's lives & see what they are doing too.

Sometimes it's sad, most times it's happy:) Life is a wonderful journey, we can document so we have something to look back on in years to come. I am enjoying this journey & I hope that I will be blogging about it for quite a long time too! I just hope it doesn't take me 1 year & 10 months to get to my next 100th post:)

Thank you to all who have stopped by to read & comment, your all wonderful blogging friends:))

Belated Mother's Day:)

Because I was sick leading up to Mother's Day & afterwards I didn't get to see Gareth, Brandy & Rion. Tonight Gareth came over with my Mother's Day Cards & my gift. As you know from my blog, I have decided I want to be called Nana:) Rion calls me Miss Lin, I thought it would be easier for the baby to call me Nana Lin!

I was just blown away when I saw this photo frame. Gareth said he found plenty with Grandma & Nanny on, the fact he searched for this made me love it even more:)

Thank you Gareth, Brandy Rion & Emmitt, for making this belated Mother's Day so special!

Bloggers without makeup.

I found out from RHOK that another blogger challenged the female bloggers of the world to do the same this Friday and is calling it "Bloggers Without Makeup Day".

I know I feel that if I put a foot out of the door to go shopping, I must have make-up on! We have one Mall here in Tampa called International Plaza. It is near the airport, the women you see shopping there, dressed so smartly & make up so neatly in place! I feel ashamed to stop there if I don't dress up first & would not attempt to step through the door if make up hadn't been applied!

Why is it so hard to go au natural. I think we see these ads, people on tv, who look so glamorous & even those who look fairly natural managed it with make up. I won't get on a plane, go out to dinner, go to the mall, the Dr or the Dentist without maekup. So today I have taken a picture of me, no make-up & my hair a bit of a mess too.

I am woman, hear me roar!!

Wordless Wednesday Reflection

Happy Birthday Mum:)

This time last year, my Mum was here in Florida, celebrating her 80th Birthday! Where did that year go to!! It was also Mother's Day so she got to have a double celebration:)

Have a wonderful day, love you!

Look_Alike

This picture was taken when I was 29. It was about the time that Lady Diana Spencer had got engaged to Prince Charles. We were going to Canada, the whole time we were there, people said how much I looked like Lady Diana!

Who is your look-alike?

Wordless Wednesday

Baby Shower!

The Baby Shower was held Saturday at Brandy's parent's house. The first shower was just for the ladies, the second was for Gareth & Brandy's friends, it was so much fun! Because it's a boy, they decided to go with a sports theme. Brandy's Mom made a wreath out of diaper's with his name on it. I made the diaper cake & another friend of Janet's made the cake:)

We played games, like remembering how many baby things were on a tray, to playing Baby Bingo! They had so many great gifts. At the evening shower, Brandy's sister's & family had got Gareth a tool belt. It had everything in it for changing the Baby's diaper, from a gas mask & goggles to the usual diaper changing needs! I am including a link to a slide show.

I am so looking forward to meeting this little guy:)
