My Idita Walk – I did it!
March 31, 2008 at 8:54 am | In Exercise | Leave a CommentI apologize for not keeping you up to date on my walking for this idita walk! Things got ahead of me. My last post for this was on the 3rd of March. Today is the 31st – whew where did the time go.
I walked about 4-5 times a week, and finally finished yesterday with 1073 minutes – the minimum was 1049 so I made it! That qualified me for a finishers pin and I ordered a t-shirt with the 2008 logo. Wow!
I kept track of my walking minutes with a chart that was provided. I decided that it was good motivation to have some way of adding up the minutes I walk per week. So I created another copy of the chart with April and May dates. If I can continue to use this tracking method, maybe I will be encouraged to keep going. It would be interesting to see ‘how far’ I can walk.

Heritage Lace introduces new Accents
March 27, 2008 at 9:33 am | In Heritage Lace, My Business | Leave a CommentTags: birds, butterflies, cats, gifts, Heritage Lace, lace accents, lace window hangings, lacy creations, love, love notes, window accents
Do you love to have sun catchers in your windows? I sure do.
And now I use the Heritage Lace Accents as well. Why? Because they are so beautiful. Delicate lace items in a variety of themes grace my windows and can be seen from the outside.
Many years ago, my mother and I took a trip to Germany – when my youngest and her husband were stationed them. One of the things that we saw, that really struck us as unique, were lace items hangings in their windows. Oh, I’m not talking about curtains, though they have gorgeous lace curtains as well. These lace hangings were of everything. We saw lace birds, lace cats, lace churches. You name it – so very unique and so traditional.
When we came back to the US, I wanted to add them to my website, as an item that my customers could buy. I tried for a few years, to find lace that had pictures that could be used as a hanging. I found a couple of sources from Germany itself, but the length of time for shipment as well as shipping costs were prohibitive. So I decided to wait awhile and see what else I could find, that I could be delighted with, and want my customers to see.
Once I became an Authorized Dealer for Heritage Lace, I found that there were quite a number of lace hangings for windows – called Accents – that were available, and I started adding them to my collection (you should see my windows now!).
What started out as a group of 15 lace accents, has now been expanded to 24. Of the new accents,
we have birds 
,
a butterfly garden 
and a cat in a window. 
And with my love of cats – see some of my past posts, I really love this cat in the window – both of my cats sit in the window periodically, so it looks perfect!
But wait, there’s more! We now offer Love Notes.
This one says: We love because He first loved us.
Not only are these lacy creations perfect for your windows – but you can also use them as little notes on packages for gifts or as a note to leave for your special someone to tell them how much you care.

As an authorized dealer for Heritage Lace, I wanted to tell you about a beautiful set of table linens – the Prelude pattern. This is a very clean line, almost looks like handkerchiefs in an ecru or white solid look with delicate lace edging. And they have added to this great look!
Not only did they add a new table topper of 42″ square to their already existing set of table linens,
but they have also added this classic look in the lace curtains area.
Again a valance with the handkerchief look, and split tiers in a sheer motif. You will love the look!

Chicken Recipe
March 3, 2008 at 11:22 am | In Food, Recipes, cooking | Leave a CommentTags: chicken recipe, cooking, mashed potatoes, mushroom soup, onions, potatoes, Recipes, seed potatoes
Yesterday, I made that old chicken recipe that you are all familiar with – chicken with mushroom soup over rice.
Well, that’s what it started out at. Cooked up a mess of onions, and then sauteed the chicken, then added the mushroom soup for it to simmer.
I was going to make rice, but my DH brought in a whole pot of potatoes, already peeled and cut up. Why? He had been cutting the eyes and part of the potatoes to plant – these were seed potatoes. So there was a bunch left over – and he wanted me to cook them.
So, I said ok. Whatever he wants… Well cooked the potatoes, then put them on the plates, mashed them up, put butter on them, and then spooned the chicken, onions, and mushroom soup on top. Wow – we’ve never had it over potatoes before, but it was very good. Will have to add that to my recipe!
Try it – you could even mash the potatoes up – all of them, before putting on the plates. My DH just likes his potatoes cut up, not mashed, and then he can mash them himself if he so desires.

Day 10 & 11 on my Idita Walk
March 3, 2008 at 8:22 am | In Exercise | Leave a CommentTags: Exercise, Idita, Idita Walk, motivation, walking
Last week I mentioned that I was doing the Idita Walk – need to walk 1049 minutes over 2 months – and the month of February was not a good month, as I had surgery and then recuperation.
Now that we are in the month of March, I’m going to have to really get motivated because I have to walk almost every day to make the full number of minutes.
I did walk on Friday for 30 minutes and on Saturday for 36 minutes. So I’m up to 338 minutes.
As promised I will keep you updated. If you are doing this walk, please let me know – we can be a motivation for each other!
