It's been pretty gloomy and wet for the last few days. Rain is so depressing. It could be worse.

We got some new music DVDs yesterday. Dave and I both like to veg on the couch (when we can) and watch them. First, we watched "Willie Nelson - Live at Billy Bob's". I get a lot of ribbing and eye rolling about my love for Willie. But, I can't help it, he's the man. However, this DVD was not one of his best. Willie is 72 now and he's starting to show it. It made me a little sad. I think it's time for him to sit back, smoke a fatty, drink a beer and enjoy the cowboy ways.

Next we watched "Los Robles - Live at the Fillmore". OMG!!! Where have I been for all these years/ This DVD is my second all time favorite (Right behind Santana's Supernatural)!!!! I love this band! They are sooooo awesome! I'll let you know about the others as we watch them.

Allan, the Nurse Manager at Oceanside's ER turned me on to this website for recipes. It is www.recipezaar.com. It's a really good site if you like to cook and are on the prowl for good recipes. Other recipe sites that I use are www.allrecipes.com and www.foodtv.com.

Speaking of recipes, we've been trying to get organized in case of another hurricane. During our last evacuation, one of the things I HAD to pack was my recipe box. That may seem lame but it has all the recipes that have been given to me by family and friends or great ones that I've tried and want to repeat. It includes things like Dad's fudge, Dad's Chicken & Dumplings & cornbread dressing, Mom's pie crust and pecan pie, JoAnn's salads, Kathleen's peanut butter balls and the famous "Opium Salad". So I was thinking that if we had a disaster, fire, or whatever, I'd really miss my recipe box and picture albums. Dave and I already went through the photo albums and scanned old photos and saved them to discs. Last week, I created an Excel spreadsheet with all my recipes. I'm saving it to a CD and I also uploaded it to my hotmail account. That way I can access it from anywhere.
