Hello Everyone..
  I was sitting here thinking about the different SA/CRS groups I am in
and all their members and I wondered how many kids/adults with SA I
have finally connected with!?!
  So my question is this. Would all please post or email me directly
with your name, your childs name and age, your location and your email
address.

  So far I've come up with 28 names of either adults with SA or
parents/kids. Impressive I think!

This information with always and only stay with me, unless I have your
permission to give it to someone. This is for my personal
notes/curiosity.

  Thank you!!  I'll start it even!

I'm Jahna, 32, born with SA and Spina Bifida, I live in NC and my
email is jmb28144@...

Hope to hear from you!

Hugs,
  Jahna

Hi all,
Hope everyone had a great easter? I spent it with my family in the
country. Each year we have a easter egg hunt, it's great watching my
nieces running around the farm tring to find their eggs.
Yvette, I can remember the day I got my wheel chair. My brother & I
couldn't wait to get it home & start racing each other around the
farm. I would love to join your footy tipping, how to I go about it?
Hope everyone's well?
George

Hi Everyone, Well this is the first time i"ve used the computer since
our new little girl was born on the 20th of March. She weighed 3.2kg
(7.1pd) and was 49cm long. We named her Skyla Ginger and in my eyes she
is beautiful. Anyway Willow jsted loved easter and had a massive eater
egg hunt, she's doing fine, only a small UTI that we dealt with
quickly. lso yes she does have crossed toes, the middle one on the
right which they are goinf to do nothing about at the moment, they are
still trying to stop her  just walking on her toes. Anyway spek of the
devil she has just woken up and wants me off the compooter and make
brekfast. See you all soon. Mike

Hello my friends,
 I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter.. I know I sure did! For the first time since we've moved into this house Jeff and I had a DINNER PARTY!  We invited over some friends that we either work with or who are some of our best customers. Either way, we're all a pretty close knit bunch, like family!

Jeff conducted some guitar lessons and we all went deaf from the sheer volume of 3 guitar amps! LOL  We laughed, watched some TV, cooked, ate and had a great time! Our first guest arrived around 4pm  or so and our last left after midnight.. I call that success!! WOO HOOO

Everyone swears that they loved the cooking but the real test will come Thanksgiving when/if they ask me to make it all again! LOL



I hope you each had your own wonderful meals. This was my first "dinner party" in my home and I had such a good time!! I can't wait to do it again!!

Love and Hugs
 Jahna

P.S.
 Here are some of the recipes I used!!!







Coke a Cola Glazed Ham:

Ingredients:
I used a spiral cut ham, roughly 8lbs or so... any ham will do!! ***
1 16-20oz bottle of Coke a Cola
2 cups brown sugar
2tsp mustard (I used Frenches)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Mix coke, sugar and mustard in a bowl and whisk together. Microwave or cook on stove until hot and syrupy...  Place ham in your baking dish of choice and pour liquid over ham.. set in oven on 325 degrees... baste with liquid every 20 min or so until it's reached your desired "look".. I basted mine 4 times, so approx an hour and 20 min.

Take out and serve.. use the left over liquid as a gravy for your potato's or pour over your ham!

*** if you purchase a ham that isn't already cut I suggest scoring all over the ham before baking so that as you baste it the yummyness of the glaze gets inside the ham..


Green Bean Casserole: (Thank you AJ)

Ingredients:

2 cans green beans (any style)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 pt sour cream
1 pk onion soup mix
2 sm cans fried onions (like the durkey kind)

preheat oven to 350 degrees

Drain beans and mix together the soup, sour cream, soup mix and 1 can of the friend onions. (save the other can as a topping) Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes.. pull out and top with the 2nd can of onions, bake another 5 min or until onions are a golden brown in color..


Marshmallow Yams:


2 cans yams with syrup.
brown sugar
cinnamon

preheat oven to 350

drain yams but save the juice.. in a separate container mix yam juice, brown sugar and cinnamon. I didn't exactly use specified amounts for this. I just did it to taste really but if I think about it I used about 1 cup of brown sugar and a light coating of cinnamon.

pour juice over yams in a baking dish and top with desired amount of marshmallows. Bake until marshmallows have melted.


I also had mashed potato's which I made with sour cream, butter and milk.. deviled eggs and garlic croissants... oh and a French Silk Pie for dessert...

hello every one hope you are well, sorry i have not been in for some time, we have had some sh%#y  things going on  and i needed to try and sort it out, ahh well thats life, hope you all have a great easter, take care
