I've been too long at the fair on Saturday...for sure ! So much has gone on in my life I don't think I could even begin to tell my long tales...however, you know I'll not let anyone down... I've had some Whoppers !!!
Hubby goes back home tomorrow...I will miss the guy a lot and we'll go back to talking on the phone and video chats in fact I told him .."You know we talk more when I'm away than when I'm home "...It's a fact..mainly cause he's tired when he comes home and all talked out from work..leans back in the recliner and eats super and then it's bed time..
Amazing isn't it..but now I'll get to be more apart of the happenings..but I will miss him going to the stores..on his way home.(now I wonder why he don't talk) LOL..I hate shopping !!!
Today we put the Mabeline up, and I could hear the taps play in the background...I so miss being able to just jump right in and take off for places unknown..(mostly dog shows) just heading out and a get away when needed..but again, pulling into this driveway..."it felt like home".
Our trip down from Pa, was not bad till we hit South Carolina...Holy Hannah all hell broke loose...the storm came through..and being stuck in the rig out on the road in a Welcome Center...not a great feeling and we Rocked and Rolled all night long... none of us got any sleep..so when we pushed off we spent the extra day on the road and parked at Brunswick, Ga another one of my favorite Flying J..
Have been unpacking and trying to put things up and opened my box with my NuWave Pro..YES!! I love it...now not for everything but for a lot of things...sure does make my life easy and the things I do cook in it come out very juicy and tasty...
Have also put back on some of the weight I lost..but hubby tells me, "it's because he waited on me head and foot" hahaha..maybe he did..nah !!! it was because we ate things normally we wouldn't.. and late at night..OMG! that was a killer...
So now I'm ready for bed..hubby is still making his rounds and I printed out his boarding pass..and it's gonna be a little strange at first..as we both said, "Takes us a week to get in the hang up the empty nest feeling"...however, my nest is buzzing..with the brats..they are wilder than ever but I sure hope they will settle in...as for Ms Shug...she will miss her DADDY...I just hope not too much as she still will come to me..but if she had her druthers ..it would be the DADDY .. DRATS !
Any way, "I'm back"..hopefully with lots of good stories...cause you all know they just fall into my life...like a "Flying Brick "..
Safe travels to all and as always...God Bless Us All..

Oh My Sunday and Monday !
Oh my Sunday and Monday tossed in together....it seems my days are gonna be running like that..as I attempt to start the gathering..
Sunday for me was busy dizzy day of summer...as I hustled through the house and put my "to do list" as side..company was coming. Not just company but family...oh my stars it's gonna get crowded and loud. Hahahaha.
Had a pot of gravy going on the stove and had beef and pork cooked ....yep the. If platters come out the veggie bowls too. All the glasses on the table and several pitchers of water with the mother of mother bottle of wine...getting the picture here...:)
It become a. Purr. It I do have a little excitement added to this. A new gadget. Hahaha. Yeah I'm at it again. I read on one of the groups I belong to about this "Veggetti" how small it was and did a nice job in cutting the certain veggies making them into spiral type noodles....and how they made a plate of Zucchini pasta...well the light bulb went bright and I thought as hubby comes home from Church he could make a quick pit stop as we did need a few things and pick this up..
I mean I did have the veggies and this would be an interesting conversation at the table...now of course hubby moaned about it..but it wasn't a big object. Hahaha and it was cheap..now that did help and it was going to be used...that also helped. It time..and it fit in a draw that was even a bigger help. Hahaha
So weh hubby walked into the door I was so anxious to give this baby a try..and try I did...it was simple to use and I made up Zucchini and yellow squash looking like pasta..I cooked it in a skillet of lightly salted water for a few minutes..then drained and placed in a bowl of gravy (sauce) with some Parm cheese...Willa!!!! It was very tasty and even hubby like it..added some angel hair pasta and it became a primavera. Works foe me and everyone else...so it was a done deal and clean up was a snap too...ok..it's in a draw resting for another day. LoL
Later that night we watched Big Brother after the house got quiet...boy that felt good and all the mess was cleared and we nestled down for the fallout...LOL ....before going to bed I did get the chicken washed and dried..placed in a zip loc bag and put the olive oil and seasoning and did the massage so to marinate the chicken for tomorrow's cook out on the grill.
Here it is Monday morning and I've been up since 4 am...brats are running and jumping...oh my stars..they come out blasting. I still say they have jet fuel in their blood....and me attempting to gather my wits...
Gonna put on a pot of coffee...turn on the news...lately it's who shot who...honestly I feel like I live in the wild Wild West...listen to the weather...and if it's gonna rain well got my NuWave to grill on..which does a fantastic job on chicken and clean up is next to nothing..:)
It's gonna be a quiet day for us...just sit back and take it easy...hubby needs it for lately work has been getting to play a number on him...I'll make up a batch of pancakes with some sausage and I know he'll want a fried egg...then he'll lean back and read Sunday's paper...me I'll work on a blanket and watch a movie and the brats will have their chew toys going..Ms Shug will have a new great bar to gnaw on and do her frequent whistle and screech...and our day will blend in.
Psst and it's the first of September too. And that means Heart Worm day as well so as I make the brats. Breakfast they get their extra added...and hopefully no surprises...
For those traveling stay safe and alert as traffic gets wild during Holidays...and as always. God bless us all.
