Monday I was reading laynes blog babacapra.blogspot.com and saw a recipe for dandelion bread, so Noah and I went out and picked about 50 of the things and tore the yellows off and made the bread, pics to follow later, it was very tasty almost like corn bread, alot of work but worth it and it was fun for Noah! I sent some over to Amber and Matich and told them to try it before I told them what it was, an hour later I get a frantic call that Matiches throat was all swollen and what did I make, I told her she was joking she said no way so I spilled the beans and told her HA HA I am a sucker...she was kidding.

I just want to say I had a wonderful b-day thanx to my KIDS, HUSBAND, FAMILY, and FRIENDS, My day started with a wonderful pedicure, then out to the melting pot (my favorite) with Wade, came home to a very clean house (thanx Amber & Matich-they also watched the kids and ma) I has a great day! My brother and his family and my sister all came into town (they live in St. George) and my brother built me a new cover over my patio-thanx bro and on Sat. we had an Italian feast with family and friends...turning 50 is'nt all that bad. pics up soon

1912 Titanic sinksOn this day, the luxury liner R.M.S. Titanic sinks just two hours after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic. When it first left port at Southampton, England the Titanic barely escaped a collision with the steamer New York. The regal ship, which carried 2,200 passengers and crew, was considered the most luxurious ever built and unsinkable. However, just before midnight on 14th April 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg about 400 miles from the coast of Newfoundland. Slightly over two hours later, in the early hours of 15th April, the ship sank. The ship was woefully unprepared for such an emergency, with more than 1,500 people dieing aboard the ship as it went down, or freezing to death in the icy North Atlantic waters. Most of the 700 survivors were women and children.
