Rough Riders Night :)

We had a great evening...yes I know it was hot but it really wasn't bad. The seats we have had been in the shade for quite a while by the time we got to them. There was a nice breeze and it's always entertaining :)

The Zooperstars were there, our whole reason for going. The kids fell in love with them at last summers game but then went nuts when they were on America's Got Talent. Very fun, entertaining and wholesome family fun...


where are they dad?

Dinner up in the club

Oh we're excited!

Lovies

Baseball Bubby

This was most of our night - no pictures please!

Then we'd have a good moment :)

Brody looked for Deuce all night - wanted to see Deuce....finally did and....

and this is what happened!

Raina looks confused like...what's the big deal Bub?

This weekend we have a get together to see the Fireworks at Southfork on Saturday night. Our friends live VERY close by - it's a free show for them....and us :) Sunday is church, I have orientation afterwards for VBS and next week is VBS - Crocodile Dock :) It isn't actually for my kiddos ages but since I'm helping they get to go...woo hoo! I'm your friendly craft helper/teacher :)

We have a lot of people out on BIG missions trips, so if you think about them, lift them up and keep them in your prayers.

Also if you are reading this and please also say a prayer for my Great Aunt. She's struggled for 2 years now with cancer and she did not get good news yesterday. She's been through radiation, chemo and a trial drug. Her lung cancer has grown and the tumor in her brain appears to have also. It's at a spot in her brain that will affect her vision. I can't imagine what she's feeling :( She has 2 boys and a new grandbaby on the way. I pray everyday for her ease with the discomfort, her peace with the disease attacking her and her strength to keep fighting. Cancer is just SO hard.

AND I've never been a huge fan of Michael Jackson, he's got some staples I think everyone loved and they're in my IPOD but his loss wasn't catastrophic like it has been for some. I'm sorry for his loss and I'm sorry his kids are now fatherless....no matter how strange and creepy he was, he was INCREDIBLY talented and he left behind 3 small kids :( Farrah Fawcett - I'm sorry she passed so young but her LONG struggle has been hard to watch. I wonder how her new body is feeling :)

Michael is switching out lights tonight. Our kitchen is getting a new ceiling fan, that light was moved into the dining room (where the computers are) and that light was moved into the guest bathroom. I'll post pictures as soon as he's done.

Goals for 2020

So after thinking through this for a while, I've decided to bring this back into my life.  I love to write, I love to express myself and share recipes.  SO...this blog may not always look pretty...it might get messy, because that's life, and I'm too old to pretend it's not.   Goals for 2020: To continue to search for what feeds my soul and not harms it. I'm going to keep up with my health goals and make it another year of weight maintenance.  Walking starts again.  Not about needing to lose, I like everything a bit tighter.  So there you go.  I'm not athletic, I do not LIKE working out.  But I do like walking because of the moment to take a breath and enjoy being outside and listening to good music 💓 I wanted to commit to living my truth...if I say be kind...that means I have to drop some guards and also do just that.  There's been a couple relationships over the years that I wanted to circle back to this year.  Both hav...

Award Winning Salsa

Well…it won an award in my family 🤣 This blog has seen MANY salsa recipes. I LOVE salsa. I’m always trying to perfect my recipe so I tried some different things yesterday and BAM….I mean wowza BAM!!!! Jayme’s Award Winning 😉 Salsa 2lbs Tomatillo, husked and washed and halved 2 Jalapeño, washed, halved, seeded if you’re a wuss.  1 Serrano, washed, remove stem 1 red onion, quartered 1 Lg Tomato 1 Bunch Cilantro 2 Tbs minced garlic  Salt  On a large baking sheet lay out your tomatillos, peppers and onion. Cover the bottom of the pan Chicken stock or water. I also drizzled a little olive oil.  Put in a 350 oven for 75-90 minutes.  Let cool down a bit and throw everything in a food processor.  Holy. Moly. Very restaurant like. Maybe a Cantina Laredo or Haciendas Ranch feel to it. So. Good.  I like it warm so when I go to get it out of the fridge, I just throw in the microwave for a sec.  SO good!

Perpetual diets and a soul change....

I feel like all my life, I've been on a perpetual diet.  Seriously.  Pretty much every day of my life has been a choice.  Some days/months/years I do great.  Others....not so much. I've never been one of those girls.  You know...the ones that always just pulled it off.  Looks, weight, clothes.  Nope.  That is not me.  I've also always had skinny friends.  They ate the same things as me...but I'd notice on me and never on them.  I think I've always aspired in some way to be each of them.  Hell, maybe they keep me in check so I don't ever let myself go to much?  That's some deep thinking stuff! What a funny life.  Then, I had my jaw surgery.  Long recovery.  Long, hard, painful recovery.  I think I just gave myself a pass for the last couple of years.  Because I can tell you...I hadn't been too worried about my weight since then. So.  I had a picture taken of me on August 17th.  As ...
