Yesterday we celebrated our grandson Michael's 9th birthday at our home. Kerry and Michael decided to have a *Make Our Own Pizza* party. Everyone had fun being a pizza chef, placing their favorite ingredients on the dough. Bert made a garbage pizza with a thin crust and the pizza taste better than Giordano's pizza. We usually order from them quite often. I guess I'll be mixing batches of pizza dough to keep in the freezer to thaw out, as needed. I'll need to keep the frig stocked with our favorite toppings, so we're ready when the pizza craving hits.

My grandson Jimmy had lots of sleep overs at our home with his friends this past summer.

Fourteen year old boys can eat a lot! They usually ask for pizza everyday, at least once.....sometimes twice. Ordering out can be expensive. Now they can bake their own pizza's and have fun messing with the ingredients. Now if I can only get them to drink sweet tea instead of pop.

Too soon, they will be going back to school and they won't be any sleep overs. With sports and school replacing sleep overs till next summer or Christmas break! It's either feast or famine with the grand kids visits.

I have Happy Knees ~ Well almost happy. I started taking new medication for my osteoarthritis knees. The name of the medication is Arthrotec 75 mg.The Dr. gave me new medication and it's working great. At least now when I have to stand up, I don't feel as if someone hit me in the knees with a baseball bat (literally). I have to remind myself that I can do *things* for myself. Getting up every time I needed something was pure torture. Now I have to remind myself, that I can get it myself. YEA!!! Now to lose weight to make my knees even happier, and me too.
