Looking forward

What an emotional week just ended. Let's hope the coming days show a real investigation into past allegations against the current nominee to the Supreme Court. The people of the United States deserve nothing less.

Reflection

I am worn out after all the drama yesterday.

Here's to a much better weekend ahead!

Thursday 9/27/2018

Today should be interesting. I really have nothing to add. 

Dunc and I enjoyed the cool weather outside last night.

Good morning!

Let's begin the day with a few relaxing pictures before we start to read the morning news, maybe these will help keep our blood pressure down. We can only hope. Have a nice Wednesday!

These Two, Part Deux.

I thought I'd share a few more pix of my silly cats who I still have a hard time telling apart.

Luxie has a black line down her nose and looks bigger.  Luna, with darker eyes, makes a funny noise instead of meowing.  Neither is the dominant one as far as I can tell.  Even knowing all that, I still am learning how to tell who is who.  

Luxie looks either stoned or pissed off in this pic.

This is my view when I wake up. Can you tell them apart? I can't when I'm half asleep without my glasses on!

Black line = Luxie

Poor Luna.

Whoever is who, I love them and they are bring so much love to our family.

Teeny tiny animals

SuAmi is a group of family crocheters living in Vietnam. The business is named after the youngest member who loves all kinds of animals. I think their creations are quite amazing and beautiful.

This is for GJ.

I can't even imagine crocheting something so small. It would produce much anxiety. 

So let me conclude with something I enjoy and occasionally get right.

Have a wonderful week.

Making do

Wednesday was a busy day for me, but I was determined to make something tasty and somewhat healthy for dinner. I checked the freezer, not much there but a package of boneless chicken thighs. That's a start. I had a jar of wild rice in the pantry, perhaps I could make chicken rice soup? No, that wouldn't work, I didn't have celery or carrots. I did have an onion, a package of mushrooms and a can of low sodium cream of chicken soup. I was on to something. Bring out the crock pot.

I tossed in all the ingredients (minus the rice) along with some skim milk and seasonings.  I then went on my merry way.
                                   

Is anyone still with me?

I was afraid of that.

Moving on...

When I returned home later in the day the house smelled great. The gravy seemed a little thin so I added a few spoonfuls of light sour cream. That did the trick. I cooked the rice, heated up some frozen veggies, and dinner was ready. Oh, I also found a frozen baguette in the freezer. Bonus.

Voila!

Light creamy chicken and wild rice. I am not sure how accurate the light part is, but it makes me feel better to call it that. 😃

Thanks for reading this self-indulgent post! Have a great Saturday.

May These Brighten Your Day

This would be a lot easier than exercising and dieting...

TW, I think both you and I know what this is like!

 There is a lot of truth in this one...

 I could tell you a couple of stories to back this one up... ; ))

Yep! Making supper and doing housework. 

I especially love this one. The other day I received a letter in the mail that was so beautiful and so kind that this is exactly how I felt. I will tell you about it in the comments. 

I am sending you all hugs.

We Love Our WTIOC Birthday Celebrations!

Today is a very special day for one of our favourite people.  Guess whose special day it is...

That's right, it's our favorite guy's birthday, so let's have a party!!  Our signature drink is a GoBlueTini.

Of course we have wine also, too.

Now for the cakes.  Just one won't do.  They are all chocolate, of course.  The ladies have been baking all night!

And more goodies...

We wouldn't forget your sweet Annette!  

Happy Birthday, to our Dear Pallottine!! We Love You!!
