 Inappropriate Thoughts

I kinda miss having little kids at Halloween time.  It is fun to see them dressed up and excited. I was reminiscing to my now grown children about their Halloween's of the past. There was one year my youngest dressed as a werewolf and jumped out of the bushes at some middle school girls. They were not impressed.  The was the year of the spontaneous light saber battle between an unknown Luke and my Darth Vader. 

There were many Halloweens of us going trick or treat with my nieces and nephew. My best friend made some amazing costumes.

Sourdough Chronicles - back from the dead /cloud of pumpkin spice

 I must confess I neglected my sourdough starter in the refrigerator. It had lot of hooch on the top. I fed it and it is alive and kicking. Feed it and it will come back.

I wanted to make sourdough pumpkin bread. I had to get some pumpkin spice. I had trouble opening the container. I am still sweeping up pumpkin spice. There was a cloud of pumpkin spice. It makes two loaves

Taste of Lizzy T Sourdough Pumpkin Bread

This bread didn't last long at my house.

Last Minute Halloween Craft - Man on the Moon

Sometimes I get a wild craft hair. My Dad gave me a giant quilt hoop he found at the city recycle.  I have wanted a Man on the Moon. I was like I can make this on fabric and use that hoop to make my moon.

I used this printable from Earlyn Whalen Online. I used my printer to enlarge and made way to many copies. I used tracing paper to transfer to some fabric and colored in using fabric markers My husband suggested I use battery operated lights to make moon light up.

Wordy Wednesday

 I know I have used this one before, but I really couldn't resist. It is a good one for Halloween.

Meow Woof - Santa Fe

 My son wanted to go here for his birthday. However, our August was quite busy, so we finally delivered on our promise last weekend. Meow Woof is an interactive art exhibit. It was a real workout for me as I shimmied into a fireplace, climbed into the trees, and walked through a refrigerator. I thought this would be sensory overload for my autistic son, but we came prepared, and we went through early.

It was interesting and a bit weird in a good way.

This rescue plant made me happy. When I moved to New Mexico I had to get rid of all my plants. Some I had like 17 years.  One of those plants was a split leaf philodendron. One year my children took all the split leaves off because they thought they looked like eyes. It managed to survive that encounter. If you get a new $10 plant doesn't that justify a new bedspread and area rug for your bedroom.? Asking for a friend. I know first world plant lady problems.

Deep Thoughts

The town north of us Roswell, New Mexico experienced a flash flood last weekend. It did a massive amount of damage. We luckily avoided this storm cell. There was so much destruction. I haven't been to see the destruction. Send some prayers to Roswell. 

52 Ancestors - 4th Cousin Problem

 I don't know if anyone has taken a dive into their DNA.  It is fascinating and frustrating. I still prefer traditional genealogy. However, I understand that DNA can help solve some mysteries or add to mysteries. I have a someone who is a 4th cousin or a half 3rd cousin once removed who is related to both my paternal and maternal side according to DNA. Try to wrap your head around that one.

What is a 4th cousin? I am so glad you asked in order for me to be related to this DNA match we must share a 3rd great grandparent in common. This would also mean that my mom and dad share a common great great grandparent to them. At least I think that is what it means. Send help! Anyway, I am somehow related to this person through my paternal and maternal lines most likely I have 2 different ways I am related to them. 

What is a 4th cousin?
