I Love My New Nook!

My mom bought my one of the best birthday presents, ever! She got me a Nook reader! It is really awesome!

She gave me a $20 gift card with the Nook, so I went online at Barnes and Noble and immediately found 3 books that I have been wanting to read. It only took a few second to download the books on my my Nook and I was reading the first one last night!

The one weird thing about the Nook is that there is not way to turn it off. That’s right! It is always on. There is a sleep feature if you set it down and walk away for longer than 15-20 minutes. But when you come back it fires right up and is still on the same page where you left off.

The battery life is supposed to be about 2 weeks with normal use. Isn’t that amazing?

Cute Recipe

I found a really cute recipe on a sister site that I am going to try, thought I would share it.  Now that I have reached the age of 50, the Red Hat Society is very interested in me, so is the AARP!

“Pink Stuff”

 From the Red Hat Society cookbook pg 276 

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12oz) container whipped topping, thawed

1 (20 oz) can cherry pie filling

1 (15 oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained

1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained

Red food coloring – a few drops, optional 

Stir together the condensed milk and whipped topping.  Fold in the cherry pie filling.  Fold in the pineapple and oranges.  If you want a deeper pink color, add a few drops of red food coloring.  Refrigerate at least 4 hours prior to serving.

Judy’s Old Flame Turns Up In The UK

Longtime girlfriend seems to have found an old flame via the good old Facebook and is tossing around the idea of visiting him in the near future.  She is excited about it but it will be a long trip because he and his family live in the U.K. which is not just your usual “road trip”.

He has suggested using a travel agency that he has used in the past that offers flights, hotels & travel ideas worldwide. It seems that has lived in a variety of places since high school including way up north Canada way.  So he has used them in his many flights to Canada, and all over Europe.  He assures her that they will help her in her search for flights, hotels, car rentals, all that she will  need to make it a pleasant trip.

He is to send her the phone number so she can speak with one their UK travel consultants, when she finds out the details she will fill me in.  I hope she has a blast with a date from the past.
