$1 Thrift Store Fun

We were shopping at the thrift store last week and Millikins found, on her own, these $1 treasure! I couldn't believe they were only a dollar.

This was her first time out on them, helmet was a must!

She had about five spills, not even a scratch from one of them.

She 'walked' on them for about a half an hour then decided she was done. I haven't been able to get her back out on them again. But, that time will come. What's also fabulous about these skates is that they are adjustable in length so she can use them for quite sometime; and hopefully Lulu can use them after Millikins.

Lefse Fun

Lefse is pure yummy goodness...but it sure makes a mess of my kitchen

Flour is EVERYWHERE!

No matter how careful I try to be; I end up with a white kitchen

I didn't get a great picture of Millikins eating her lefse this time around; this photo is from Fall 2008 when I was first learning how to make it

We decided to let Lulu get in on the action this time

She didn't actually get anything down the hatch; but she did get a taste of it. She sucked on it a bit and made chewing motions. In the end, she turned it basically back into mashed potatoes. But, she had fun! And, that's what matters.

Red Head Tendencies

"Blondes are noticed but redheads are never forgotten." - Unknown

"While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats." - Mark Twain

"Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead." - Lucille Ball

Researchers at the University of Louisville discovered that, on average, people born with red hair require about 20 percent more anesthesia to obtain satisfactory sedation.

"Nobody who has known a redhead can say that redheads are tame. Even shy redheads have a burning spark of adventure inside them. Opinionated, hotheaded, logical, loyal, friendly, reserved, whatever the redheads' personality, you can bet they'll have SCADS of it!" - Review of The Redhead Encyclopedia

There was never a saint with red hair.

-Russian Tradition-

Blondes are wild, brunettes are true,

but you never know just what a redhead will do! - Unknown

You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair," said Anne reproachfully. "People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is."- Anne to Marilla in Anne of Green Gables

"All throughout history, from Reuben to Robbins, redheads have been recognized as a rare breed. Blondes may have more fun, brunettes may be brainier, but when it comes down to raw energy, creativity, and personality ... you just can't beat a redhead well, you can, but beware ... she'll probably beat you back!" - Redheads Unlimited

There once was a girl

with a Strawberry curl

Right in the middle of her forehead

And when she was good

she was very, very good

-but when she was bad she was horrid. - Unknown
