Cute joke

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:28:07 -0500

One night a man was leaving his work and had a wheel barrel full of hay. As he left, the security guards

looked through the hay to make sure he wasn't steeling any thing. They found nothing and let him go.

The next night the same thing happened and once again the guards looked through the hay and again

found nothing. This routine went on for a few weeks when finally one of the guards said to the man,

knowing he must be stealing something, "Tell us what you are stealing, you won't get in trouble, we

promise!"

The man replied "Wheel Barrels".

Thought that was cute.

Brown rice can be delicious!

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:40:45 -0500

Brown rice is so boring and my neices and nephews refuse to eat it, well they did until I put a new twist in making it. Instead of using just water, try adding Apple juice! Yup Apple juice. Replace how ever much of water with apple juice depending on how sweet you want it-sound weird but its good. Makes a boring dish yummy. Enjoy.

New twist on the hamburger.

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:10:22 -0500

Grilled hamburgers are great but can be really boring, so what I like to do is add a packet of the dried onion dip to them and then grill them.

Mix 1 packet dried onion dip (you can use onion dip, ranch, what ever kind you like) to 1lb of ground beef.

Make desired size hamburgers, grill, and enjoy. Kinda spices things up a bit.

Summer Salad

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:50:32 -0500

Make a tossed salad, greens, onions, cukes, mush, what ever you want to put in it and add some

fresh sliced strawberries

sunflower seeds

crumbled blue cheese

and toss with a Raspberry vinagrette dressing.

Its so delicious and refreshing.

Try baby spinach instead of regular greens.

The added fresh strawberries turns a boring salad into the perfect summer dish. Try adding different fruits if you like.

Summer time is Grilling time!

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:42:21 -0500

I love to grill especially in the summer time, my family does grill during the winter, but summer is the best! One of my favorite things to grill is Pork loin! We buy a huge pork loin from Sams Club and cut it into pieces to be grilled. We use pork loin because it usually is very nice and tender.

Slice the pork, marinate in anything! We usually do Italian dressing, Catalina dressing or Teriyaki sauce.

Grill til done and enjoy! We usually grill our pork to about a medium so it doesn't dry out, becareful to constantly turn pork.

Enjoy grilled pineapple with this. You can use either a fresh pineapple or canned.

Perfect refresher for the summer time!

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:30:46 -0500

I love smoothies and in the summer time the are the best, this one is so delicious, eventhough I HATE yogurt

6 Strawberries

1 cup ice cubes

1 container (6oz) strawberry low-fat yogurt (or what ever flavor you like)

1 packet (.27 oz) Kool-Aid Singles Cherry Flavor-soft drink mix (I am going to try this with Crystal Light)

Combine all in a blender and blend until smooth-makes 1 serving!

ENJOY! Its practically guilt free!

If you are not worried about calories try substituting yogurt with ice cream.

Cute jokes to share with anyone.

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 19 May 2008 00:02:06 -0500

Ok so I can't take credit for these jokes-my 5yr old neice told me these.

Why was Tigger looking in the toliet?

He was looking for a little "POOH"

If you are American in the livingroom, what are you in the bathroom?

"UR A PEE IN" (European)

Thought those were cute and you can share them with your kids!

I am a Victim of Fraud!!

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 15:06:38 -0500

So my husband and I were enjoying our last day of vacation when I received a call from one of my credit card companies. "Hello Mrs. Florence, this is ... calling, we have noticed some unusual activities on your master-card account and need to verify some information." I immediately told them I would call them right back-I wasn't sure if this was legit phone call or what. SO once I called them back and did verify that it was my credit card company calling they proceeded to tell me that there was 4 transactions that they needed to check with me about. I told them I haven't used my card in over a week and that I have been in the Caribbean. I have 2 pending charges on my account that are for a total of $260.00. They put a hold on my account right away so the other charges didn't go through. What has me confused is I have my card! I didn't loose it, misplace it, I have it with me. I don't know how someone was able to got to the mall and make purchases. They must have presented a card! Right?! I don't know how they got a copy of my card if they have one. I am assured that these charges will be taken care of and I will not have to pay-thank-goodness! I am so amazed that there are people in this world that are so dishonest-scum is what they are. Its not like they went to the grocery store and bought food, but went to a hip hop clothing store and had a great time! What comes around, goes around. Hopefully they will be caught but I doubt it. Anyway, all I can say is, be careful and always check your statements. I am grateful to my cc company that they put a stop to it right away. I will have to dispute the charges but I was told I won't have to pay! So after a wonderful vacation, I now come home to deal with this mess.

Recipe cards-Use them like your buisness card...

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 10:51:23 -0500

After posting my chocolate dipped sugar cookie recipe card I was inspired to write this,

Whenever I am holding open houses I make cookies, so I decided to print out recipe cards with the cookie recipe-what ever I am giving out- and print my information on the other side. I put them right next to the cookies, with the recipe side showing, of course, and let people know they can take one. Usually they do, and now they have my recipe and contact information. Just a cute, clever markting tip-well at least thats what I think. I am also starting to farm this way, but with the seasons I will send a recipe to match. Ex. I will send a pumpkin pie recipe in October, and a turkey recipe in November, etc. Its something different and its fun. Hey I would love to get things like this in the mail- I wouldn't throw it away, its something I would save.

I put a picture of the treat on one side and my picture on the other.

I thought he would grow out of this stage...

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 15:39:47 -0500

I have the most adorable Maltese. He is about 7 yrs old now and is SOOO hyper! I thought he would have grown out of this stage by now as he grows older but he hasn't. He barks at everything-a bit annoying, and he jumps up and around and when I get home if I don't acknowledge him right away he starts to whine and runs around in circles! I know I am probably not helping the situation because I laugh and thinks it cute-and yes annoying. But its really funny. I would like to any tips on how to make him calm down. Any suggestions?

Yikes!

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 11:19:39 -0500

This has nothing to do with Real Estate.

I have lived in Utah for over 2 years and before that off and on. I have always heard of Black Widows but have never seen one. So I always "thought" they existed but never really Believed they existed until Sunday night! My husband was letting our dogs out and yelled to me to "come look at this huge black spider" OK a bit silly for him to tell me to come look-I am terrified of them, but I had to see. My husband says to me, I don't think it a black widow but its huge! Wrong he was. The spider was hanging for its web and turned to expose its belly and there was that famous marking! We both jumped back about 2 feet! I ran back inside to grab a shoe and gave it to my husband to kill. Yes, sorry all you spider lovers, but we squished it. Most any other insect/animal I hate to kill but not spiders. Yuk! Anyway if you really didn't think they existed-they do! I am just glad that my dogs didn't get bit-she was sooo close or my husband or myself.

Charity work, It never gets you any business!

Penny Florence (Keller Williams-Salt Lake City) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 00:40:12 -0500

OK this is NOT how I feel, but it is a comment that was said by someone to someone who was doing a charity event. I was shocked when I was told this. Anyway I just wanted to put in my 2 cents about a charity event I was involved in a few weeks ago. Julie Neerings,Recovering From a Heart Attack -see her blog, a wonderful mentor and fantastic friend, organized a Habitat for Humanity charity event that I was SO lucky to be involved in! At first I thought I would be painting a house-WRONG! We actually put up 2 walls! What a blast we had!

THIS IS JUST A FEW OF US-THERE WAS 11 ALL TOGETHER-

I really wasn't sure what Habitat was and learned a great deal. I just thought they built homes and gave them to people who needed them, Not True-If you are a recipient you need to do 200 hrs work on the home and you still have a mortgage-but it is interest free. The home owner of this home actually was there this day and was working hard!

THIS IS JULIE WORKING HARD!

We had such a wonderful time, so maybe we didn't get any business from this day-but we weren't looking for any! We were there to be of service!

I would love to be involved in another one!

These are the finished walls we put up! The home owner is in the middle along with our supervisor"Bob" the builder. If you get a chance to do any type of charity work-do it.
