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.
