Yipppee!I won! I won! I won!
I LOVE HomeGoods....Marshall's and TJ Maxx. I won't have any trouble spending this little lovely.
Thank you soooo much Marla!
If you haven't visited Marla over at Always Nesting ....be sure to pop over. She's such a sweet chickie and you'll enjoy visiting with her. :-)
My girl's on the mend..... and I am grateful. She's still in a lot of pain....I hope this week really changes that for her.
I've been coming home, for the past two nights, to sleep..... Don't you miss your own little bed when you're away?..... Then going back over to spend the day. Fortunately she only lives about 40 minutes away, so coming home isn't a problem.
Now, if you've been following my blog for long, you know I really don't pride myself as a whiz in the kitchen, but I do make really good soup. My dear friend, Susan, taught me lots of tips so my soups went from pretty boring to pretty darn yummmm-o. I had promised my little grandson that I would make chicken noodle soup so after spending a gazillion hours chopping bits it was on the stove.
My Mum taught me how to make homemade bread.....oh it is soooo delish.......and I popped that into the oven.
Waiting for the good smells.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Oh NOOOOO!
Very bad timing. Very bad.
The stove decided it was tired and quit! Can you believe it? The soup was nearly done, I had just put those perfectly yummy Reams noodles in to cook and the buns were in the oven. Twenty minutes until some fine dining.
Fortunately one of my daughter's neighbors stepped up and finished both for us, but by the time we discovered the oven wasn't working the buns were dry. What a huge disappointment.
Guess I'll have to try it again after the repair guy comes.
It's probably not a good sign when smoke pours out of the control panel .... Right?
Off to go care for the family again today.
Huggies and Lovies!
Spencer
