Information Friday (posted on Saturday)

 


We had a wonderful time with our family in Tennessee! This was taken at a church called Long Hollow in Hendersonville. They have a great playground, coffee shop, sports courts, and this lovely pond with turtles. We spent several hours here in the sunshine. 

We came home on Tuesday and Wednesday was my daughter in law's birthday. I made her a Hummingbird cake and we had a campfire and it was lovely. I got to hold my newest grand and be with my other local grands whose mama's birthday we were celebrating.

Today starts four days of family birthdays. A TN granddaughter is 10 today, a local grand will be 10 tomorrow, my great nephew will be 15 on Monday, and my brother in law has a birthday on Tuesday! Fun times! My great nephew lives in a different state than us, and my brother in law is out of the country at a missions conference.

There will be texting going on!

Now onto the information!


I saw this graphic this week and thought how wild! Sadly it's true!

This is true, too!





Maricopa county still corrupted. This is a majority Republican county, but it's Rinos in leadership hate Trump.





Something is up. His campaign hasn't responded to these kinds of reports with any kind of substance. Where is Talarico?



BioClandestine says - 

This is just, wow. Still processing this. BHO has had his hands in a lot of treasonous behavior.



BioClandestine has this to say - 





Wild stuff indeed! But then I came across this.










In the 80 years since the end of WWII, so many things have changed. If you follow Promethean Action you know that the globalist through the City of London (this is separate from the capitol London) have control a lot of what the United States have been involved in, they've controlled oil, and so much more. They are the conduit of control of the deep state.

They are not our friends.
















Do not fear! Make sure to VOTE!

Welcome, October!

 


"September slipped by into the gold and crimson graciousness of October." Lucy Maud Montgomery

I don't know about you, but September flew by. It is now my favorite month of autumn, my birth month, and I am planning to enjoy every bit of it.


This photo is now so old, that I don't remember if I took it or my oldest daughter took it! I do know it's from one of our maple trees along our creek.


This is a very common site here in Pennsylvania. For many years we went here to get $1 pumpkins. Now we frequent a place close by, and support our neighbors and their produce stand. They also make the best apple cider!


This is a photo of our cottage last year in late October. 

I love the autumn.

I know you know that if you've read here before. 

Here is a list of some of my favorite things about autumn.

1. The changing leaves!
2. The chance to wear cozy sweaters.
3. Wearing boots.
4. Watching leaves fall from the maple trees in the front yard.
5. Hosting our annual Fall Fest.
6. Drinking hot chocolate.
7. Drinking apple cider.
8. Quieting the house down after a busy and full summer.
9. Eating comfort foods.
10. Fall Foliage trips.
11. Sitting in the sunshine, with cool temperatures and reading.
12. Knitting.
13. Pumpkins.
14. Campfires.
15. Celebrating the many October family birthdays including mine!

Oh there's more, but I'll stop there for now. 

I hope you embrace autumn in all her glory, and I'll see you next week!

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.
