So, So Thankful

So very much to be thankful for this year.

The new exciting things, the old, comfortable things.

A few very, very hard things…

and some incredibly wonderful, happy things.

All, I believe, designed by our loving Heavenly Father to help us stretch and grow and love harder and stronger and ultimately…

to bring us closer to Him.

I am indeed grateful for my sweet home and cute chickens and my dear, dear family….

some of whom may or may not be playing chess…

at the dinner table.

And I love them to bits.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends.

Thankful Stuff

All the regular stuff that’s been going up, here and there for a few years. But this year, it’s pretty dang fun to find new places to put things…in my own little cottage.

Always, always…so much to be thankful for.

Pumpkin Party

When I checked out at the grocery store the cashier said, “Oooooh, what are you going to do with the sugar pumpkin?”

I said, “Huh?”

She said, “Are you going to make a pie?”

I said, “Ahhhh, no. I’m buying it for some friends.”

She said, “Really?”

I said, “Yep. We’re having a big party.”

She said, “Well one won’t be enough.”

I said, “You’re probably right.”

Giggled all the way home.

Funeral Potatoes- Revisited

Oh, I’ve truly become a woman of the 21st century now. For you see, my friends, I’ve discovered something remarkable indeed.

It is called Frozen Southern Hash Brown Potatoes.

Yeah. I know.

Some of us are slow to jump out of the horse cart and move up to light speed.

I took the same amazing Funeral Potatoes recipe that we have used anciently, and traded the 10 billion pounds of potatoes out–those 10 billion pounds of potatoes that took a month to cook and a week to cool and hours to cut up–but I digress…and possibly exaggerate.

ANYway, you trade the old potatoes out for three bags of these little, already cooked, frozen babies and POOF! you’ve just added back a year to your life. They taste just as good and look amazing on top of it all.

Oh, the miracles and wonders of culinary science…

and jumping out of the cart.
