Don't Waste a Day

My family is here visiting. Most of the time we are here , just us chickens, my hubby
and I. Certainly not what I planned but they have good lives and their own lives.
When I think of that I am very grateful and happy that they do. After all, we really
do make our own way in this world.

It reminds me to not waste a single minute wishing for what is not to be. To make the
most of the life that God has given me and to be content in all things.

Happy New Year !

Here is hoping that this new year will bring good things for all of us. It has been
a tough year for many. My work reminds me daily of the struggles. Even though resolutions are hard to keep, I have reflected on resolutions I had last year that I
actually was able to keep and it keeps me pushing forward.
The priority this year is to grow in knowledge of God and apply His wisdom in my life. Because of this priority it is pushing me to deal with the areas of my life, I
would like to improve on. You ladies who blog are a true source of inspiration to me.
I love my home too, work takes me away much of the time but in my time, I am choosing
to spend it in ways that will affect the quality of my family's lives. I am grateful
for the opportunity to grow...Blessings in this New Year !

Are the Holidays almost here ?

Well, this holiday has gone by in one big rush....not enough time....hubby and I have
been working way too much. Thankfully, today will be our day to get some holiday shopping done! Most likely with everyone else....he truly hates crowds and I am not far behind him....so we will do our best to get things wrapped up.

Merry Christmas to every one.

Seattle Visit November 2010

My sister moved to Bainbridge Island Washington last year. I have wanted to visit her
ever since and this month, finially made it there ! She lives in a beautiful spot of
paradise. It was such a fun time seeing all the local sites.
We miss the seasons here in Southern California and it was so wonderful to experience
a true "fall".

Nice Fall Morning.....

Woke way too early this morning for a day off and then fell back asleep. This morning
made a fall favorite muffin, zuchinni nut.....I first tried them at Starbucks and was
so disappointed when I stopped in and they were no longer available.
Found a wonderful recipe on line and have been making them myself ever since.....
my addition is to toast the walnuts with a little butter and a little sugar before putting them on top.....really good !

Time at Home, What a treat !

It is back to work Tuesday this morning...had a nice day yesterday just getting things done around the house, the usual, laundry and cleaning up....
Have been looking at the Pillsbury site for easy recipes and made a Chicken Alfredo
Parmesean Pie....it was easy and the hub's liked it !
Also made Chicken Cashew Salad for lunches this week....we are having our last days
of summer here, good to have some ready made things in the refrigerator.....
Looking forward to the fall.....have my little fall items out already.....even though
we do not get much of a "fall" here, I live in hope....someday !
