What helps me

My husband needed a vacuum for the Apartment we were going to live in at the beginning of our lives together, so he bought the one I was going to get. It is a Dyson ball.


These are tilted large print measuring cups. The first time I saw that style of cups, was in a class I took in high school.


My parents are always looking for things that could help a 1 handed person. My mom found the round edged knife in a disabled magazine. It can help me with most meats. You rock the knife across the food. My In-laws came for a meal when my husband and I were still dating and my father-in-law saw that knife. He like freaked out and had to ask what I do with that.

The other knife is the Cutco cheese knife.


This is a Convection oven and microwave. I got this at Sears like 4 to 5 years ago. I don't have to bend over to put things in or out of a hot oven. The portions that you make have to be smaller then a real oven, but my safety comes first.


My parents bought 2 can openers, so that if the blades broke I would still have 1 to use. Then someone gave me another, so now I have 3. It works well on the cans that don't have a pop up lid.


I sort my clothes into 3 sections, and roll it down the hall. This is one thing I asked for on my wedding list. Sometimes the wheels lock themseves when you don't what them to.


At our first year anniversary, my husband got me this utility bucket on wheels for dry clothes.

I am looking at getting a Jar opener. Also, my in-laws suggested I get dishwasher soap in a pouch. I don't have to hold a box and pour it and make a mess anymore.

Happy Birthday Dad 65

When I had my birthday, My dad said he wanted the same cake for his birthday.

It didn't turn out quite as we planned. This is the cake he picked out though.

I went with him in the car, because he was taking me to work and then after my work we were going to get the cake.

I sat there at a table waiting for him to come back to the Baskin Robbins. I was sitting there so long I stared thinking I should buy some ice cream, because it was warm out. He came back before I went and asked for some though.

After about 5 minuets I walked over to the cakes and asked him "You know what cake we are getting right?" We find out that the cake I had wasn't prepared in a smaller size to show off. He wanted a smaller size cake, because we were leaving 3 days later, so we got a cake that was decorated the same on the sides. The top and ice cream inside were different, so I was concerned he wouldn't like it. He said later that it was tasting okay though.

Cupcakes

My mom and I were making cupcakes for a party.
In this picture is all the things we need to make them.

Mom putting the mix into the cups. I tried to get a picture of the mixer, but it didn't look good. I didn't keep it.
When we were all done.

This was back at the end of June on Fathers Day weekend. It's hard to take pictures of myself. Sometime I will put the party pictures on, but the party was the next day.

How do they look?

What do you like to make as a treat?
