I have to admit that I was slightly horrified. When I was a young girl I thought it would be the best thing ever but I learned, not by experience, that it was not for me. What was it you ask? The Crystal Gayle hair cut, I guess I should call it a "style" since there is no cutting involved. A woman was crossing the street with hair that was down to her knees! It just isn't right. What does she do when it rains and your shoes kick up a bit of spray when you walk? Does she have to wind it all up on her head? Does she put it into a giant bun? Why hasn't someone told her that it isn't cool to have your hair that long? No one knows who Crystal Gayle is anymore. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Then I started to worry that my hair is too long. It is down to my lower back. Ever since I saw this woman I have been thinking about cutting my hair. No, I won't cut it above my shoulders but I do need to get it cut. Please tell me if my hairstyle ever reminds you of Crystal Gayle. </div>Kimberliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764037682723874053noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-89959664844520707792011-03-19T21:26:00.003-06:002011-03-19T22:05:16.285-06:00I Thought We Were Addicted...So what happened? Can you say, "Do it yourself home remodel?"<br /><br />I can.<br /><br />My parents own a home that is 104 years old and I had dedicated many, many hours to help them with the remodel. It started out as a simple project because the kitchen sink started to have a bad odor that would not go away. That kitchen drain project lead to replacing the water main line to the house, construction of an new second bathroom, remodeling a bedroom then the office and remodeling of the home's original bathroom.<br /><br />The job is not finished because we have two new doors that need to be hung, installation of the mop boards and touching up paint in some areas. Let's not even mention that there are still plans to remodel the laundry room and the possible addition of a family room. The thought of more construction makes me a bit tired. Oh well. It has been nice to have my evening free for the last couple of months but I am so happy that my parents' home is so much more comfortable and relaxing.<br /><br />Two years have almost passed since we began the project. They have been two difficult years but satisfying that we were able to do almost all of the work on our own. There have been some people that guided us that I hope got a gold star next to their name so that good karma will bless them when they are in need such as we were.<br /><br />My hope is that my addiction will now be redirected back to you.Kimberliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764037682723874053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-2576170170257052552010-04-26T20:21:00.005-06:002010-04-26T20:28:04.239-06:00I LOVE SPRING!!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLaxC91pI/AAAAAAAAAIU/7VMPMKKCjOM/s1600/April+26,+2010+016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464638121075136146" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLaxC91pI/AAAAAAAAAIU/7VMPMKKCjOM/s400/April+26,+2010+016.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLaauoc5I/AAAAAAAAAIM/btH5zmtCeCI/s1600/April+26,+2010+014.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464638115084268434" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLaauoc5I/AAAAAAAAAIM/btH5zmtCeCI/s400/April+26,+2010+014.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLZ7mk80I/AAAAAAAAAIE/0tib1Wboc0c/s1600/April+26,+2010+010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464638106728985410" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLZ7mk80I/AAAAAAAAAIE/0tib1Wboc0c/s400/April+26,+2010+010.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLZXmMKhI/AAAAAAAAAH8/xafaBQfM1j4/s1600/April+26,+2010+009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464638097063684626" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S9ZLZXmMKhI/AAAAAAAAAH8/xafaBQfM1j4/s400/April+26,+2010+009.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02683998835304395022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-25867975226867005562010-04-03T22:15:00.004-06:002010-04-03T22:21:40.745-06:00Happy Easter<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S7gTLFBJ3dI/AAAAAAAAAH0/Yt-Ev4I2UKY/s1600/April+02,+2010+025.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 316px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456132029605862866" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S7gTLFBJ3dI/AAAAAAAAAH0/Yt-Ev4I2UKY/s400/April+02,+2010+025.JPG" /></a> <br /><div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02683998835304395022noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-7857943060110894272010-01-28T23:22:00.002-07:002010-01-28T23:30:06.528-07:00Hopes of Spring<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i1TQxSMm0nA/S2J-7RYdPKI/AAAAAAAAAT8/3SXrbFQom2o/s1600-h/29+Jan+2010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432043657305603234" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i1TQxSMm0nA/S2J-7RYdPKI/AAAAAAAAAT8/3SXrbFQom2o/s320/29+Jan+2010.jpg" /></a>I was out running errands today and was overwhelmed by how beautiful our mountain was today. This picture doesn't do justice to what I really saw. The contrast between the blue sky and the pure white snow was wonderful.<br /><br />It has been so cold lately that I just do not want to go outside. Spring needs to come quickly but when I see the mountain covered with snow and the sky is blue and no smog can be seen I feel happy. It makes me think that I can make until the mountain changes from white to green and the leaves start to pop out every where. Soon the crocuses will poke their tiny little heads out of the ground to help the rest of us preapre for spring.<br /><br />But for now, there is no spring only the glistening white snow on my mountain. I will take what I can get. . . for a few more weeks anyway.Kimberliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764037682723874053noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-3899698304447546242010-01-28T22:57:00.008-07:002010-03-30T11:10:05.927-06:00Buns of Steel, Apparently Not!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S2J5BTQnRbI/AAAAAAAAAHs/IEwqz2kHCxA/s1600-h/Buns+of+Steel+1+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 218px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432037163819025842" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/S2J5BTQnRbI/AAAAAAAAAHs/IEwqz2kHCxA/s400/Buns+of+Steel+1+001.jpg" /></a>First thing I noticed was the "WITH LESS AEROBICS" line.

Here are some additional facts about this lovely home.<br /><br />The estate on which Kinross House stands was originally owned by the Earls of Morton but in 1675 it was bought by Sir William Bruce, regarded as one of Scotland's most important architects. Kinross House is a classically elegant Palladian mansion, built by Sir William Bruce as his own house and is generally considered to be the most elegant and refined examples of his work. Kinross House represents one of the earliest of Scotland's country houses.<br /><br />The formal gardens at Kinross House are a superb and most attractive feature of the property. They rank as one of the finest formal gardens in Scotland.<br /><br />Between the gardens and loch is a useful field of pasture which extends to about 22 acres. It is suited for grazings by horses or other livestock. Either side of the drive are a variety of mature trees providing amenity, privacy and shelter and to the North of the house is a further wood through which there is a lovely walk down to the loch known as the 'Dark Walk'.<br /><br />The buyer will be given the right to put two boats with outboard motors up to 6 horsepower on Loch Leven, to enable them to fish for Loch Leven's world renowned brown trout. Included is the site of the former boathouse (now demolished) beside Loch Leven.<br /><br /><div> </div>Kimberliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764037682723874053noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-6063253974039447032009-09-12T18:44:00.004-06:002009-09-12T18:52:41.854-06:00Sore SaturdayWhy is it Sore Saturday?

We had hopes that Lance was going to win but "Pistolero" Contador took things into his own hands and stopped playing as a team member of Astana. I will admit that I was impressed with Armstrong's patience that he showed by not expressing his dissapointment in a teammate who played by different rules. I will stop talking about that because I could get on my soap box about that for a while.<br /><div></div><br /><div>This last week we went to Salt Lake City to watch the Prologue Stage of the Tour of Utah. The Rock Racing team is participating again this year and we had to go and visit the team area where the riders where cooling down after their time trial. The athletes were very friendly and signed autographs for the kids that were with us. Paco Mancebo, shown below, won the overall race, Congrats, Paco. And the Rock Racing team won the overall team competition. Michael Ball, team owner and owner of the Rock & Republic clothing line, spent some time with Monica and her family at Snowbird Ski Resort after the race. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371714127724699506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i1TQxSMm0nA/SowpieH6X3I/AAAAAAAAAQA/7s2FAWBNwek/s320/Tour_of_Utah_Prologue_008.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371714135752051586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i1TQxSMm0nA/Sowpi8ByC4I/AAAAAAAAAQI/TIjAg4K2DKc/s320/Tour_of_Utah_Prologue_019.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371714139768414242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i1TQxSMm0nA/SowpjK_W4CI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/TewKrpd1sOU/s320/Tour_of_Utah_Prologue_020.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p>With all of the activities going on we have definitely lacked in keeping up with our blogging.

It will do you good. </p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kimberliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764037682723874053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-13773367384602202562009-07-08T22:41:00.005-06:002009-07-09T19:51:59.270-06:00Michael Jackson by Diane<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/SlV1N_LFx7I/AAAAAAAAAGk/hxNGcpqluOg/s1600-h/Michael+Jackson+by+Diane+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 278px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356316214983772082" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/SlV1N_LFx7I/AAAAAAAAAGk/hxNGcpqluOg/s400/Michael+Jackson+by+Diane+001.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Two weeks ago we lost Michael Jackson and it is time for you to see our tribute to the King of Pop. Monica asked Kim's sister to create a picture of Michael Jackson that would remind us of our love and respect for Michael. Monica's one request was that Michael be dressed in a military uniform that we saw him in for a time. Diane agreed to the challenge but decided to use artistic license in her representation.<br /><br />Those of you who know of Diane or have met Diane know that she is a very special person and one of the sweetest persons on the earth. Money has no value to her so Monica is paying Diane with a pop and candy bar for her time and effort to create the Michael tribute. Diane has accepted this payment and showed her approval with widely opened eyes and the unique sound of "yuuummm" that only Diane can make.<br /><br />Now back to the picture, Tuesday night Diane called Kim to say that the drawing is completed but that she has taken some artistic license with the picture. She explains that Michael is in the military suit as requested but the face represents the "Beat It" years. She also added that she preferred the more brown skinned Michael to the lighter skinned Michael so there is more color to his skin as well.<br /><br />We hope that you like the picture. I know that there is no way that I could have created a picture this good if I had tried. I LOVE the finished product!</div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02683998835304395022noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-3658754203592743552009-07-04T10:22:00.003-06:002009-07-04T10:25:53.620-06:00Happy 4th of July!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sk-CMwC35UI/AAAAAAAAAGc/pXAE9lSERHo/s1600-h/Flag+July+4,+2009+018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354641637533803842" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sk-CMwC35UI/AAAAAAAAAGc/pXAE9lSERHo/s400/Flag+July+4,+2009+018.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02683998835304395022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-756647044365556002009-07-02T15:57:00.003-06:002009-07-02T16:05:08.928-06:00Thursday Quiz<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sk0tnjA-PDI/AAAAAAAAAGU/6g3OrncywvY/s1600-h/potato+salad.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 140px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353985689450855474" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sk0tnjA-PDI/AAAAAAAAAGU/6g3OrncywvY/s400/potato+salad.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sk0tnaK-SAI/AAAAAAAAAGM/9PBQqI4id4E/s1600-h/baked+beans.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 140px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353985687076882434" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sk0tnaK-SAI/AAAAAAAAAGM/9PBQqI4id4E/s400/baked+beans.jpg" /></a><br />Here is a great debate for the upcoming holiday.

I read through the recipe and thought that seems easy to make and so I tried it. Since then my father has requested that I make the cheesecake for him. On Saturday, my mom made the request that I make the cheesecake for my dad for Father's Day. I purchased the necessary ingredients and got to work. </div><div><br /></div><div>I made the cheesecake at my parents' home so that I could use their new stove and their fancy kitchen tools. My mom supplied me with a 9" springform pan. I could tell that this was going to be one of the best cakes that I had ever made. It looked so nice when I poured it into the pan. It had been in the oven about five minutes when I started to get a hint of something burning. I knew that the cake wouldn't be burnt because I just put it into the over but I looked anyway. </div><div><br /></div><div>To my horror, I could see the cheesecake on the bottom of the oven. The springform pan opened and all of the batter was dripping onto the heating element and bottom of the storm. We hurried and pulled out what was left and started to clean all of the batter up. </div><div><br /></div><div>We had to go back to the store and start again. I also picked up my trusted springform pan to bake the 2nd cheesecake in. I think it turned out very nice. My dad could hardly wait to cut into it. It turned out to be a great dinner and a very nice day. I hope that everyone else had a good day as well. </div>Kimberliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05764037682723874053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-84542288794407878912009-06-18T12:10:00.002-06:002009-06-18T12:19:24.336-06:00Thursday Quiz<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/SjqDug91tXI/AAAAAAAAAF8/l_sUS6WDI8Y/s1600-h/June+18,+2009+074.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348732342602413426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/SjqDug91tXI/AAAAAAAAAF8/l_sUS6WDI8Y/s400/June+18,+2009+074.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/SjqDuYLDkxI/AAAAAAAAAF0/j8rBlWKQIEA/s1600-h/June+18,+2009+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348732340241928978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/SjqDuYLDkxI/AAAAAAAAAF0/j8rBlWKQIEA/s400/June+18,+2009+002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />What is the name of this Utah County town & what celebration is happening this week in this town?<br /><div></div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02683998835304395022noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547630290613485957.post-34164336429858780812009-06-17T21:59:00.003-06:002009-06-17T22:10:37.448-06:00House Stalking<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sjm8qbbZpwI/AAAAAAAAAFs/oHBtOrYjIdY/s1600-h/JUNE+2009+090.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348513469582386946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqZkLtkduWQ/Sjm8qbbZpwI/AAAAAAAAAFs/oHBtOrYjIdY/s400/JUNE+2009+090.JPG" border="0" /></a> I can't help myself, I adore this house!
