I am so HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY today! Not only is it a long weekend but we Finally got all of our stuff out of the old place last night and gave the keys back......NO MORE MOVING I am DONE! The weather is absolutely beautiful its around 70 degree's today and is suppose to be sunny and pleasant for the weekend. I am thinking of cooking outside on the grill and relaxing around the fire pit with a few cold refreshments. I can also now start on painting and getting stuff organized finally.
This joke below is from my friend Ricky a little chauvinistic but I thought it was a riot:
OOO I can make my real live scarecrow for the yard and my legs sticking out of the ground, this is a picture from my old, old house where we did the legs:
This is my old beloved dog Max sniffing the giant pumpkin we got (these pics are probably 10 years old)
Me and Max, I miss that dog!
Here is my old baby Shepard Xena she took care of the little kitten because the mother was horrible. (Again this picture is about 10 years old)

Witches Fingers
Yield: about 36 witches fingers
1 cup water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
Pinch cayenne
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup grated Cheddar, (about 4 ounces)
1 large egg yolk
Whole unblanched almonds
Kosher salt
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until the butter and sugar melts. Remove pan from the heat and sift the flour into the pan. Stir the dough together with a wooden spoon. Return to the heat and stir constantly until pulls away from the sides of the pan and is slightly shiny, about 3 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a medium bowl, and beat until cooled, about 2 minutes. Add the cayenne, and whole eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each 1 thoroughly before adding the next. Mix in the mustard and cheese.
Put 1/4-inch plain tip in a pastry bag, and spoon the dough into the bag. Pipe 3 1/2-inch long thin finger-like shapes onto prepared pans. Beat the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water and dab or brush the tops of each witches' finger with it. Lay an almond on the end of each witches finger so that it looks like a nail, sprinkle fingers with kosher salt.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue baking until the fingers are golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes more. Cool on a rack.
