On The Eve of Easter

This is what I've been doing on the eve of Easter Sunday. I baked a chocolate sheet cake with vanilla frosting, walnuts and coconut spread on the top. I had to cut a few pieces and tasted it. It was so good, my son liked it pretty much as well. Easter egg coloring time. A tradition I held since I was a little girl. Never missed a year coloring eggs. My little niece us usually my little helper, but she had other plan with her friends. so I was alone to do this job. Don't worry-it wasn't hard, I enjoy doing this every year.

When the eggs are all colored and done, I usually put together an Easter basket for everyone in my family. I add little knick knack things like small minature Easter snicker candy and a few other treats.

Aren't these eggs colorful. The pink one is my favorite.

I wanted to throw this picture in. She's my little niece puppy. Her name is Princess. Boy oh boy, she looks innocent in this picture, but she is a handful and very tricky. But she is sweet.

My other tradition that I do on the Easter holiday is watch the, "The Ten Commandments," which comes on every year for Easter. I'm watching it while I color the eggs. I'm having fun. Have a great Easter and Spring break everybody. Enjoy the wonderful nature that God has blessed us with especially the wonderful colorful flowers that adorns our planet with it's beauty.

Peace & Love Everybody.

I'm Backkkkkkkkkk

Hi everybody "I'm back", and it's good to be back. I miss all of you guys. I thought I would've been back Monday, but I was able to cut away from the bustle and tell you all hi. Here are some picture's of what I did on my Thanksgiving Holiday.

It was so much fun. Of course all of the relatives were down for Thanksgiving. Today we took a family trip and went shopping. Here's my son in Game Stop a video game store. If he had a choice, he'll live there.


My beautiful mother, getting ready to serve up the food on Thanksgiving in her kitchen. First time I posted my mother. She's my rock, and we're close like sisters. A little about her is that she, other than in her background of being African-American, she has Native American and European descent. Rich history isn't it? I'm trying to find out more and do some research for the next generation in our family so that they know who they deeply are. What about you all, I'm interested in knowing your backgound history of your people?

My crazy sister, fooling around. I love her. Waz up sista girl? She's my best friend to. O.k. now she's the oldest. Just had to put that in. I'm the youngest girl.

Here we are, my store. Wal-mart, I love Wal-mart, you can find bargain prices everyday in Wal-mart.

People were shopping today, but not at all like I've seen last year during black Friday. I guess the economy really took a toll on some of the people. Everybody is trying to make it and hang in there. I pray that our economy will rise and come back on top. We are going to make it people. Be encouraged everyone. Don't loose hope.

Number one store that probably is going to make a lot of money this year. Who doesn't like Radio shack? Everybody likes electronics. It's a big sell I think every year around Christmas. Right next to it is Sally Beauty Supply and then next to that store is Game Stop. That's were my son was.

Going other place to shop. This is at the mall. A lot of people were here shopping. Everyone loves the Mall too. Very crowded here.

Here's my son seriously, intently and mind you, very happy about the video game purchases he made. He's going to wait until Christmas, to play with them. It's hurting him to. It's just itching him to play, but I figure he'll have something to look forward to on that day.

My brother is about to chow down. I tell you, everyones in the kitchen.

My niece and nephews, at the kiddie table. They had a ball. Who doesn't like the kiddie table, man it's fun.



Of course, I had a picture taken of me, but it didn't come out, so maybe next time. Hope you guys enjoyed my Thanksgiving Holiday journey. I really had a blessed and fun time. I hope you all did to.
I did something a little different this year. We had door prizes to give away. I gave out numbers, and just called them out until everyone got a prize. It was really fun. The kids enjoyed it to.


So what did you all do on your Holiday? I want to hear all about it. My next post will be about the Christmas gift's I'm hand making, hope they will be great ideas for you to make and give to your family. Until next time, I'll talk to ya'll soon.

Happy Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving Bloggers

To all my blogger friends, loyal commenters, and visitors, I would like to present this Thanksgiving card (above) to all of you. It'll probably be a while before I can get back to my computer on the account of, well Thanksgiving preparations, relatives, and just having a jolly good time. I'm going to be busy for the most part helping my mom cook and bake. I even got some request to cook some favorite dishes. Then after the celebration of Thanksgiving, I'll be moving on and preparing for my most favorite Holiday... Christmas!!! Our tradition since I can remember as a little girl, was putting the Tree up after Thanksgiving. Then you know actually before that, "Black Friday"-the Thanksgiving after sale Friday. We go SHOPPING! Then after a long day, we get some Coburg egg nog, put on some Christmas music and decorate the tree.

So my blogger friends, commenters, and visitors, it'll be a while before I blog with you again. I will be signing in sometime Monday perhaps, if not soon, after The Thanksgiving rush.

You all good people, have a good break, enjoy your family, holiday, and making great memories. Have a good time. I'll be talking to ya later.

Have a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving,

Treasure Ann

Thankful

As many do not know, I am a single mother. Not by divorce, but by being nieve (I don't know if I spelled that right.) and young. I regretted a lot of things in my life, but I don't regret deciding not to have an abortion. Yes this is something I like to share with my readers. Just to tell you how far I've come. When I found out I was pregnant, there were so many thoughts that went through my head. Abortion was one of them, but thank God I didn't make that mistake. In fact I looked at myself for making the mistake.
Now I don't even know how my life would be without my son. Yeah he's a big boy in this picture, but years ago before, he was such a tiny baby.

If it wasn't for my parents, who did not condone what I did, but they were understanding, and supportive. They never let me go through my pregnancy alone. I was depress and ashame when I was pregnant, because I wasn't married. My father, God bless him, helped me hold my head up and encouraged me that I am still important and I'm somebody. He is my son's, not only grandfather, but father. He stepped in when D's biological father didn't. My father and mother helped me get on my feet and now my life has progressed to great things and still going. I'm thankful for my parents and how they helped me get through some very tough times.

What about you? What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving Holiday and season?
Happy Holidays,
Treasure Ann
