LUNCH!!!


I just put a quiche in the oven. The bottom of the pie crust (Pillsbury) I covered with cheddar cheese. Then I put some crumbled up cooked bacon, fresh chopped spinach, asparagus, and mozzarella cheese. Then I added the eggs and milk, salt and pepper. I put a little cilantro on top. It's just a 'whatever is in the fridge' type of quiche. Now I have to wait 45 minutes for it to be done. Bummer!! I am hungry now!! Oh look- here it is!! Ready to cool down and be eaten. Yum.

Today is the day


Today Jesse gives his oral presentation for his PHD.

Dr. Carter is in the house!!!

He has been studying the conductivity of glass at the atomic level. When he rattles off his explanation you say, yeah, sure, makes sense. But then 5 minutes later I can't remember a word of it.

Here is a picture of Jesse!! Great guy. He and Tess will be moving to Pittsburgh sometime this summer. He got an offer from a company in Pittsburgh working for the government. Right now he is waiting for his security clearance.

He had to list everybody he knew on the security forms. He asked George and I if we had ever been arrested and we replied truthfully, not in this country.

Ha. We have not been arrested anywhere really. But I just love to see the look on peoples faces when I say that. Really gets people thinking that maybe there is more to us than meets the eye. And of course there is!!

We are very proud of Jesse and his accomplishments. He is excited to go to work for a company where it will be illegal for him to bring work home. He is tired of working 24/7 for his PHD. Working 40 hours a week will be a blessing.

Have a great day!!

First Post!!

Good Morning!!

How exciting. I have wanted to make a blog for about 6 months. I love looking around on blogger and hitting the 'next blog' button to see blogs from all over the world. Fascinating stuff out there on the world wide web.

Well you never know what I am going to come up with! But here is a quote we would all do well to remember as we watch what our congress is up to.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who are not. - Thomas Jefferson

Hope you have a great day!!
