 We went bowling and I noticed that Dustin had a very unique stance:)


 haha This is something from a TV series we have been watching called Perfect Strangers.
 I made a personal record!!! My previous record was 125.
 We went to the Ostrich Festival- it was fun:) These birds are huge!
 We watched one of the races- it was a chariot race. Before the race they cover the face of the ostrich.
 We thought there was going to be a big collision at the turn but they made it!

 We tried an ostrich burger, I didn't really like it, but it is apparently healthier than other meats.

 cookies I made that tasted great and are easy! Here is the recipe:

Mint-topped Chocolate Cookies
   1 package devils food cake mix
   1/2 c. shortening
   2 eggs
   1 tbs. water
   Confectioners' sugar
   40 chocolate-covered thin mints

1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, shortening, eggs and water. Shape into 1-in. balls; roll in confectioners' sugar.
2. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch. Place a mint on each cookie; remove to wire racks to cool.
Yield: 40 cookies

I figured out my Cricut machine a bit more.
