 M.O.G.  Giving Actual Thanks! I have shared what I was thankful for, sort of, this month.  I went AWOL for a few, but want to do justice to the day and say formally..... I am grateful for a few things in no particular order:  I am so grateful for my awesome husband/boyfriend.  He set up the stretch table, indulged the brine, recorded the Macy's Parade, not the other wanna be parades, brined my

To Brine or Not to Brine... that is the question.  First, I know many of you felt that I was AWOL for several days on this Grateful journey.  So, Call it AWOL if you want, but I'm back and will make up some of the days as I can. Just know that in the near future, I will cover,  Madison's Entry into the life of an actual missionary, Parker entering the realm of 60, Babies and older, growing up

M.O.G. Day 14  I am Grateful for stuff to do.  Work etc. Please don't judge me for skipping day 13.  I'm superstitious and it would bring bad karma.  As in the bumper sticker I saw:  I am grateful for so many things,  and I want to do them justice each and every day that I post.  I was thinking about how it's been good to slow down and take it easy a little with my foot in the air..... you  know,

M.O.G. Day 11   -  Veterans Day  True that!

M.O.G. Day  9 -   Teeth -  They have to make me what I am today!!! We have lots of references in our house about Teeth. A few - "Watch out, that'll get in your teeth."(While eating something sticky or yummy) G-Ms'a incredible homemade rocky road candy "You don't have to brush all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep." "You only have to brush your teeth on the days you eat."

 M.O. G. Day 8 -        Sing it with the beat now - "This is My Country,  Land that I love...."  So this morning I voted,  right after I got the stitches taken out of my heal, which, just so you know, I have been a model patient and you know that being a patient is not really my thing.   The boot finally gone, but I have to be a little careful, don't ya know? Still, after the stitch

Gratitude Day 7  -  And a big number   - Start with 2011 and subtract 1974 and what do you get, Math Whizzes?   That's right, kids,  and that's how long my boyfriend and I have been married, uh... to each other!   Here is the photo to prove it.    Remember when we took all those dead trees and hot - glued fall leaves on them for a backdrop?  It was way cool, I promise.  And we looked great

Month of Gratitude Day 5 and 6.     Sometimes music is such a thrill to me that I cannot explain the profound effect it has on me.   Think -Here is Hope - from Rob Gardner's Lamb of God available at Spire Music I am in awe of those who write it, perform it and arrange it and can hear nuance in the harmony, the color, the mood.  I am so Grateful for this dimension of life.    I can't sit in

M.O.G. Day 4 - "We could be cold as a dropping Thermometer in December,  if you ask about our weather in July" Extra point for origin of this line and a point for the actual name of the song.   I think that after a while I start to take the summer weather here in our fair state personally.  It's true.  That might be why I want to leave for huge periods of the summer.  So, when we get the

Month Of Gratitude - Day three......... I am grateful for technology.  There I said it.   I love that I can get on this computer thing, or as my Bro. in law says - "the dot com", and instantly find the recipe for a killer banana bread(actually the best one is Loretta's  - see below), or find out how many cups are in a pound of flour.   Or, I can go online to search for a pattern to use up

A Month of Gratitude, O.K. Well, actually 24 days, so that we finish on the Big Kahuna day of Thanks,   Thanksgiving Day!!    Woot, Woot!! I love this month.  It is so full of days with all kinds of celebrations that I love.  (spoiler alert) Anniversaries, Birthdays, Weddings, Baptisms,  new locations for missionary daughters etc. So I thought I would just do a 'lil journal type thing in

 It seems we do this every year. It happens about the 14th of February.   It's that thing where we get dressed up and come to a little party  at the Moffat's where someone who loves us cooks a meal and sets it up kind of cute and we get to play or learn something new about manners and maybe dance a little or listen to great music.  Well this year is no different... Who attended? G-Ma, Parker,

So some of you know that it's my Birthday and, some of you also know that I am also up to my eyeball sockets in "crafts services" for several more days and didn't plan on seeing my "Boyfriend" for those same several more days.

It's tradition..... So the family, such as it is, with Meg and Chris off to the beach on a service mission(yes really), and G-Ma visiting the California faction, headed off to the annual Headstone Cleaning and Photo op.  Here's Maddi teaching McKenna what the headstones were.

25 years ago today, I had one of the happiest days of my life.  At nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor announced that I had given birth to a baby girl! Megan Marie Moffat to be exact!  - weighing in @ 6 lbs 8 oz.  I told him that was a bad time to be kidding me.  See, after four boys, I had all but given up on having a girl, I thought I was meant to be a mother of boys and I was good

As many of you know, We (our family) really get into the wholeValentine's Day thing, dare I say we make it a month long celebratorial event. We bring far away friends into the event and often celebrate in ways that include multimedia events and games, not to be confused with the Olympics which is also happening at the same time. The setting.....The shoes.....Can you say red? In short, We love,

I have always said that weight loss for me was like throwing a deck chair off the "Queen Mary". You know, like you wouldn't notice it at all till you had thrown off several.(meaning I have too much to lose to notice). I totally hate when I have to explain funny stuff. So today when I weighed in, (drum roll please) I had lost 20.2 lbs! If that is not a deck chair I don't know what is. I lost

So, I received this darling countdown decoration today! I'm in love with it and encouraged to get Christmas up and start enjoying it early this year. Now the rub... it is exactly 32 days to the big event. Now how do you feel? Admit it, you are probably a little (if not alot) freaked out just to have that visually and emotionally stamped on your virtual forehead! Feel free to comment on

If a picture is worth a thousand words.... this tells a great story. This picture was taken the first day Lil Parker was home. The big sisters are doing a great job welcoming him home! I'm so proud of these two little darlings for being such good helpers. Sorry it has taken me so long to post this, but holy cow is thislittle baby boy darling!

And why did I get the crud in the first place when I was just minding my own business? Well I might have been minding some other people's business just a little bit. But I'm just saying.

Finally you say........... So, Two years ago (OMGosh) I challenged my quilt 2 groupies (Cross Point Ward Quilters) to a summer challenge. I gave them all a piece of this:and they were to make a block - 12" using this piece, a bit of muslin somewhere, and any other fabrics they saw fit, any pattern, just go for cute. They were to make 9 of their one block and then we would exchange and each

So, I don't know who copy-catted who(Glenna) but I, like many of you made a goal to finish 9 quilts in 2009. It was one of the nine things I wanted to accomplish this year. Did I share those things.... uh ...well no. Why, you ask? Well, say you are doing fine on some of them and not so fine on others well you do the math. Here, I am sharing one good thing that is getting accomplished and

Vicariously that is. I promised myself I would blog more often. Didn't happen, but some of my people did. I said I would document Christmas, you know, make and send cards , write a newsletter etc. Not yet. But there were some who did. Thought I would update you on the family happenings. Nope. But.... there were others with updates. Welcome to my goofy life. I mean you are welcome to it.

Apparently, The Female Parental Unit @ this abode must have red to survive. So, When Christmas Came Down today, It was replaced to some degree by Valentine's Day - AKA Red and White to the Max., which we celebrate to an obnoxious degree.

Annual Pilgrimage So, Parker and I took the little window we had and trekked over to L.A. to celebrate our Anniversary. We do this because we were married in the L.A. Temple some 34(wow that's a lot!)years ago and we try to revisit that lovely spot whenever we can on our Anniversary. We were blessed to get to see Rob's current show, "All Night Strut" which was very entertaining and fun. We got

Read all About it!   Actually that headline might as well be a tabloid.  The "Baby" is Madison and while not literally a baby in the true sense, she is the baby of the family, is just 18,  and an official Adult and as such all these milestones need to be marked.    But she is more of a "babe" if you want a humble yet correct opinion.

We made the shirts (note the fabric has all the colors of the Olympic rings)and had purchased tickets well before the games, like in January of that year in a lottery system.

As you know I love to support Parker, but what did he mean by a counter on our blog? He informed me that we need a countdown calendar to remind us and ours of the beach trip we will have in July. The beach umbrellas brought it all to mind. Parker has made a beach

26 years ago today.... A wonderful thing happened in the Moffat Home. It was Jacob!To be precise, Jacob Ammon Moffat. He weighed in at 10 lbs. 3 oz. and was the 4th of four boys, all busy, happy, smart and challenging. He had an appetite to match and was very cuddly and slept through the night his first time just past a week old! He was happy to be here, a very pleasant and easy to love baby.

Usually the phrase"I'm seeing Red" is understood to mean that I'm mad, maybe not just mad, but furious. W-e-l-l, as many of you know I have an addiction to the color Red. It does not make me mad, sad or otherwise. It makes me happy:) So today, honoring the 2nd best day of the year(Christmas being the first) we are having a Sweetheart Dinner. This tradition started some 25 years ago. Our

So, I was just wondering why we kiss each other at the Stroke of Midnight as a sign in for the new year. Is it because we want to affirm our warmth and love for each other for another 365 days? Or as one man suggested..that's why people drink prior to the stroke of Midnight..... That way they will want to kiss their spouse. I thought that was funny. Where did that tradition start I wonder?

Sometimes people ask why there is a Lamb in our Christmas Tree? I let those people think about it for a while and then they usually come up with it themselves. It's one of my favorite things.This Needlepointed Nativity was created by our friends Chuck & Heidi Glauser from our Gilbert days. This has a great story because the pieces are hollow and the Baby Jesus was missing once when Jacob was

Lots of people (say in Hollywood)think that being married for ten years is a great feat,...but a third of a Century???? Wow! Now we are talkin' legendary almost. Well today is the big day of anniversary for Peg and Parker. The big 33! Years married that is. Well in honor of the occasion, we took our annual trek to So. Cali. for sun and R & R. Actually we didn't stay long enough for R& R.

The Trick was keeping it a secret. The Treat was having the sistahs togetherand the brothah here for five whole minutes in honor of the occasion! What occasion? "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown!"

I was thinking about Conference and how Elder Eyring...no, President Eyring asked us to notice each day how God’s hand had touched our lives and find a way to record it and remember it for the benefit of our children. At least I think that’s what he said. Well, I noticed. Our friend, Tim Filichia left the earth tragically and unexpectedly and so many are mourning the loss and I have seen God

Heard of the term "a Chicken with it's head cut off?" How 'bout "My eyes are spinning independently in their sockets?" Try, "I Don't know come here from sick'm." Or maybe , "I don't know if I'm a-foot or horseback." All great sayings that describe the current state of affairs in our home. My mom would have said, "Peg, I think you are just covered up." I've come to the conclusion "I Need A

So Last night at midnight Maddi and I were in the hallway whispering goodnight(because Parker was asleep not 6 ft away) to each other and laughing about some stuff from the day. I said It's your birthday Maddi. Happy Birthday! Then I was thinking, actually it will not be official till approx. Nine o'clock tonight. I shared that with her and she goes into this awkward sexy pose and says in her

What kind of a person do "they " think I am? I'm confused. I just try to live my life without bothering anybody, yet still there are people out there who belive that it is their duty, nay, privilege to offer additions or corrections to my life in the blessed form of Junk e-mails. Puh-lease! Just to give an idea about the self help nature of these, shall we say, well meaning correspondence,

What’s so “a-peeling” about dates? Well first you have to know what kind of date I’m talking about. It’s not the “perfect date”... “April 15. It’s not too cold not too hot. All you need is a light jacket!” (Name the movie for a prize) Not that kind, and it’s also not the kind where you are a teenager getting off the phone all twitter-pated having been asked out by (change to higher voice

Meg and I were having a chat about soundtrack..you know The soundtrack, or the soundtrack in our head or at least the one we are currently grooving too. Megan was discovering and posting several tunes that were working for her and I started wondering if I have a "soundtrack" Turns out I do! I have had a soundtrck all my life that motivates house cleaning occasionally, walking in the early

So... I read so many blogs where the writer is trying to solve the problems of the world. Well, I just want to solve my own problems in my own "special" way. Once someone said(I think it was Oprah to tell you the truth)that if you want to take ten pounds off your look, add a set of shoulder pads. So I did the math and wore two sets. Problem solved. But that was in the eighties and now the

I love "working" around the house with Parker. Actually we work independently toward the same goal but usually our paths only cross in a "family" project when needed. One example is the day we painted the Family Room. On the Fourth of July, these two almost empty nesters decided to use the day wisely and having purchased the paint etc. we started in. My job was to remove the switchplates and

Hi- I am slightly retarded at technology, in fact, this is not me... my daughter is teaching me how to blog. It is quite simple-- but I come from a different generation and don't know computers from Adam...Once I know what is going on around here, I will be just peaches. So- be patient with me as I get things together and then I can post all my news and pictures and whatever babble that I want
