My Scrapbooking is in progress.

I am several years behind in my scrapbooking. I have only completed a few pages in my new scrapbooking room. This is our last vacation that I scrapbooked about.  I still have a long way to go. On July 2005 we went on vacation in New Hampshire with one of our very dear friends. We rented a large six bedroom house right on Lake Winnipesaukee.
We drove around and saw some old covered bridges. There was one that was my favorite. They had turned it into a gift shop.
This is the first time The Cisco Kid drove a motorized vehicle. At 2-1/2 years old, he caught on to it so fast. He figured out how to put the money in and he was so precise with his driving. It amazed me.
We boarded the Hobo express where we traveled all the sights. It was a four hour train ride with one stop for shopping. They called it the Hobo express because they served a Hobo lunch. Their lunch consisted of ham and cheese sandwiches, hotdogs and chips.   
We rented a boat and cruised the lake, did some tubing but not before we went to purchase some wet suites. Even though it was July the water was about fifty degrees.  
This 4th of July parade was so quaint. Allot of the locals had participated in the parade. It reminded me of an old fashioned homey 4th of July.

Super Bowl munchies!!!!!

This is a great snack for Super bowl Sunday. Sugar free, Homemade Granola!!!! I have to tell you that this is the best snack. Its sugar free, it has tons of fiber and protein. It even tastes great on a salad.
1 cups of each, Pecans, chopped Walnuts, chopped Almonds, Sunflower seeds, Quick cook Oats and dried mixed fruit.
1 cup of sesame seeds
1 tea spoon of each, cinnamon, cloves, imitation butter flavoring and pure vanilla extract.
1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper
6 oz. of All Whites
1/2 cup of Splenda
1/2 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar

Mix the following ingredients in a bowl.

All Whites, cinnamon, cloves, imitation butter, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, Splenda and Splenda Brown Sugar. Mix well together.

Mix all the remaining dry ingredients together in a large bowl and pour the egg mixture over the top. Mix until all the nuts are coated.

Line a cookie sheet with quick release aluminum foil.

Place the mixture on the cookie sheet. It should only be about 1/2 inch think. If there is mixture left over you can put it on another cookie sheet and bake.

Bake at 350 degrees for twenty minutes.

Once granola is cooled it can be broken apart in large chunks.

My new favorite place to eat.

Over the weekend we stopped into Chipotle Mexican restaurant. I didn't realize it was more of a fast food place. The menu is on the wall and you can watch them make it right in front of you. I have heard that their meats are grown in a humane environment and they use all fresh ingredients. The food was so good... I am hooked. I ordered the Chicken burrito bowl and the Chief ordered the Steak burrito. I'm going to say it again. The food was so good. You can tell that everything is fresh.

How I tell it.....is completed.

Last evening the Cub Scouts had a great visit at Publix. The staff was so accomidating and jenerious. When we got there Mr. Keoni gave all the boys a gift that included a balloon, name tag pin, an I love Publix pin, Publix wheel crayon and a mesh hat.  
Our 1st stop was to the bakery.  Ann was so nice to tell the boys all about how they bake bread and make cakes.  She had all the boys touch the dough. 
Then she came out with a very large tray of cookies.
This is a funny story about the cookies. Publix is known for giving free cookies to the kids. When the boys heard they were going to Publix, they all asked if they can get a cookie. I told them if they listened and behaved themselves, they would get a cookie at the end. I mentioned earlier the bakery was our first stop. After Ann's presentation she pulled out a very large tray of cookies and told the boys to take one. All the boys told her they were not allowed to get one until the end. That totally floored me. They are all so well mannered. I am so proud of all my little guys.   
Of course they loved the cookies.  Happiness is a Publix cookie!!!
Now it was time to go in the back room. They were given their mesh hats.
This is where he demonstrated recycling boxes and how they were crushed using the machine. 
They were able to see inside one of the gigantic walk in freezers. 
He had all the boys ring up some items and he gave them the receipt. 
This was a very cool go see it.
