Weekend

 

What did I do this weekend? I slept in on Saturday, puttered around my house, printed off knitting and crochet baby hat patterns, made dinner, watched some episodes of a British detective show with Tim.

Do you want to know what I made? It's a favorite around here, and we've been making this recipe in my family for over forty years.

CHICKEN OLE

Cook and shred chicken - enough to fill a 9x13 pan. I use a bag of tenderloins. 

Saute a can of green chilis and some onion in butter, then add 2 cans of cream of chicken soup (I make my own) to the chili's and onion in the pan. Mix well. 

Pour this mixture over the chicken and mix together. Top with cut up tortillas - I use flour tortillas but corn is fine, too. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and bake at 350 degrees until the mixture is bubbly, the cheese has melted and browned a bit. 

Easy peasy and delicious.

Sunday was church. I was in Sunday School. I help every other week with 3-5th grade. They are a lively and fun bunch! I got to hold my new granddaughter and she and I had a talk and I got another smile from her! She's a doll! Tim and I picked up lunch for us and my parents. We ate together at home. 

We talked for a while after lunch, then we napped for a bit. Tim doesn't get very many days where he gets to relax, so we try to make Sundays restful.

I love the photo above but as I look at it I can tell its from before we put the addition on the house. The front window was replaced the year after the addition went on.

I have a birthday this weekend and we are going on a road trip. Arrangements are in place for the house and the cat as my parents are going with us. It's going to be fun.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Information Friday

 

Dad had an infusion up at the VA this morning, and while he was getting that (took several hours) we drove over to the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery. It's beautiful, and they also have this beautiful Veteran's Memorial.

It's been quite a week for the President - let's take a look.

A sad report to end the post.

Weekend

 

I hope you had a great weekend. I had a good one. Not busy, I mostly puttered around on Saturday. I put a roast into the crock pot with beef broth and small potatoes and carrots. I added salt, pepper, garlic powder and a packet of onion soup mix. It cooked all day and made the best dinner!

I also reorganized some things in the kitchen. I'm always a fan of making our work spaces function the best they can for how we live now.

Our kitchen is very white, and I use color as an accent. Here are a few photos from the summer.

Of course, the flags are gone now and I have repotted both plants which have grown a lot this year. I may buy new curtains to put in here for the autumn season, then put these back for Christmas. I might use some tea towels like this.

Sunday, we took two of our grands to church with us, and then after we took them home, we met up with our local daughter and son in law for lunch. It was so nice to get some time with them. We are all so busy, they with a new baby and a business, and Tim and I with his business. Baby girl is a month old already. She's precious.

Tim went to check out a car with our oldest daughter and her friend in the late afternoon, and I had a nap in my chair. Lol.

Then we finished watching the first season of a series on Britbox. It's good but there is language. 

The temperatures are moderating here, and the leaves are changing. We've had rain off and on this weekend and it's supposed to continue through the week, with tomorrow having heavy rain.

I started and finished a scarf this week. It is a crochet pattern and so easy. I made a different color but here is a link to the pattern.

If you can chain and do a slip stitch you can make this pretty scarf!

I want to work on a baby hat for my new granddaughter. My TN daughter and my daughter in law are both crocheters and they make things for their kids.

Well, I've chatted on quite a bit. Tell me what you've been up to lately.
