So here she is! She was a famous painter who didn't start painting until her 70's. She was feisty and a real character who lived to be 101. Who knew? I sure didn't!Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Running like Grandma Moses
Last week, I didn't run. I had a little cold, and well, you know. Why is it so hard to get back into running again? Yesterday, I decided to run. I was not looking forward to it. So after I checked my email, read the blogs, changed the sheets, emptied the dishwasher, read my scriptures, baked 20 loaves of bread, cleaned the oven, washed the windows, changed the oil in my car, raked the leaves, washed the curtains and rehung them, paid the bills, and went on family search and found 100 ancestors, I decided to lace up. During the first half mile, I said to myself, "Lisa, you are running like Grandma Moses". And then I said to myself, "who the heck is Grandma Moses, anyway?"
So here she is! She was a famous painter who didn't start painting until her 70's. She was feisty and a real character who lived to be 101. Who knew? I sure didn't!

Ding! Dong! Avon Calling!
Sunday morning, DTA walked out to get the paper and the Christmas Avon catalog was also sitting in our driveway. We were so excited to see our granddaughter, Little O, on the cover! Little O is the adorable little girl on the right.
Her picture is also inside the catalog. This time she is on the left! DTA and I are mighty proud!

Who Would You Invite?
There is a commercial running on TV right now that I really love. It is a Macy's commercial and celebrities are gathering around a holiday table with Martha Stewart at the helm. It got me thinking about our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner and although my family is sufficient for a fabulous time, I thought about what celebrities I would invite to bring a little pizazz to the table.
Well, first of all I would invite Tim Gunn. I can just imagine him standing over me in the kitchen while whipping up my gravy and in his most concerned tone saying, "Lisa, talk to me" and then him giving the "wow factor" to my orange rolls while sitting around the table. I think he would offer interesting conversation at our holiday table...you know the latest in fashion talk!
Next, there would be Bruno Tonioli who would stand on my holiday table and call me "Leeeeesa the Queen of Culinary" and the "Seductress of the Table"! He would have us on the floor laughing with the pure outrage of his character! What fun he would be around our holiday table.
