Emily had another Foods lab to do this week, so we were treated to Butter Dipped Biscuits. They tasted a lot like crazy bread or bread sticks from a pizza joint. Very yummy!!

I was putting groceries away and turned around to get the bag and fold it up and I got a surprise in one of them.

I have become a distributor for Young Living essential oils, so if anyone wants to get some more information or to sign up leave a message for me on the blog or click here. I started using the oils last year and have completely fallen in love with them. So I thought I would give the business side of it a go.

Gratitudes
-That I have a kid that is enjoying cooking and I get to enjoy the food.
-That I found an awesome company and love their products.
-That spring seems to have arrived for good!!

An eventful week around here.

First Frank was promoted at work, he is now a supervisor. The only thing that sucks is that he was sent to the other store, the one that is on the other side of town. So as of right now we are driving him, and he is paying us gas money.

Second was Jake was delivered to Calgary on the weekend for the second part of his course. He will be down there for 2 months. He will only have 1 part of his course left after that.

Third was the van decided to start acting up on the way back from Calgary, so back into the shop it went on Monday. It was there for 2-1/2 days. But they got it figured out and it is working well now. It is an old van now so we know to expect stuff to start happening, but it is frustrating none the less.

Lastly is................ Rebekkah's birthday was yesterday, she is officially a teenager. Their house is under major renovation right now, so the birthday party was here at our house. It was a Dr.Who themed party and the kids had a blast.

-That we have wonderful friends

I was sick all last week, turned out to have a sinus and throat infection. I have been on antibiotics for a few days now and am now feeling a lot better. Thank goodness.

Tracey, Riley and the boys were down last week and I didn't get a good visit. I was so sick I couldn't even cuddle my grandbabies, because I didn't want to make them sick too. At least I got to see them though.

Yesterday Emily did her foods project for school and she did an amazing job. She had to choose one thing off the list and decided to do 2 instead. She choose to make a chef salad and a dessert called Elaichi Kela or Red Bananas with Cardamom. Everyone loved both dishes and for the first time ever she ate tomatoes and has decided that tomatoes are not completely evil. She said they weren't too bad at all. LOL

Gratitudes:
That I am starting to feel better.
That Emily had so much fun cooking us a meal.
