Busy November Days

 Boy, where did this week go?  Sure went fast and here it is already halfway through Saturday again.  I sure am getting my fill of fog living here in Oregon.  LOL!  I have always loved fog though so I really like it. :) Last Friday, Nov. 21...just a normal day of school and such.  I made a breakfast casserole for dinner.  I don't make many family breakfasts so sometimes I throw a breakfast meal in for our dinner meal. :)  This one is  Hearty Breakfast Egg Bake .  You can find the recipe on my old blog with this link.  It is one of my favorite breakfast casserole recipes. Saturday, we had a nice surprise!  A neighbor brought over a Thanksgiving/Welcome New Neighbor gift.  Godiva chocolates, a poinsettia plant and a card. We stayed busy Saturday - we took a run to the transfer station (dump-LOL!).  We needed to get rid of the fencing that we replaced and an old bunk bed set and mattress. For dinner, I made crockpot chic...

Happy Thanksgiving!

  Happy Thanksgiving to all my dear family and friends!   I pray this day is a blessed day for you.

Friday - New Changes for our Family

 Enjoying a very wet but pretty fall here in Oregon.  I love the colors of the leaves, the rain and the foggy mornings. Monday was a busy day.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to share yet but we moved my father-in-law in with our family.  My husband and brother-in-law, Adam, went to Reno this past weekend to pick him up.  They arrived Sunday night. Due to his condition, Adam advised us to take him to the hospital Monday and that is what my husband and I spent Monday doing.  They did admit him. While we were up in Portland, we went to Vancouver to get my husband's work truck and trailer and to go to the chiropractor for our weekly visit.  We didn't get home until 5pm.  Tiring day. Max and I took our evening walk and then I made dinner - pierogis, sausage and cabbage skil let. Tuesday, I had to go to Wal-Mart to get some items to get my FIL set up in our home.  I always love a couple boxes of these cherries for the holiday season! I spent the day re...

Girls Weekend!

  This weekend, Friday - Sunday, was a girls weekend at our house!  My husband had to make a trip out of town and left Friday morning.  We did school.  We had mushroom soup with oyster crackers and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner - I made mine with mayo and a slice of tomato with colby cheese. :) The teens had their last night of a youth conference at church so my sister dropped them off and I picked them up.  We watched the part one of Anne of Green Gables .  We decided to do a marathon this weekend and watch all in the series.  My niece, Kylee, came Friday night and stayed until Sunday evening. It was fun for the girls to do a girl cousins weekend! Saturday was a messy, rainy day!  I got soaked just taking Max on his morning walk. The girls had fun sleeping on the air mattresses in the living room.  We had ice cream sundaes, popcorn, chips, Oreos, pizza rolls - lots of snacks! I spent several hours over at my sister's house helping her...

Veteran's Day 2020

 What a busy week!  How is it Thursday already? :) Mondays are busy with school, house cleaning, laundry and small errands like going to the chiropractor. Dinner was white chicken chili and quesadillas.  Mmm! Tuesdays are my grocery shopping day.  This week, my sister and I went to breakfast at a place called Shari's.  I had their entree - avocado and tomato eggs benedict.  Hash browns on the side - it was good!  We spent a couple hours talking, eating and planning our Thanksgiving. :) We then did our grocery shopping at Winco.  After I dropped her at home, I had to run a few more errands.  Augh~ I told you those errands never end! I made a sheet pan dinner - do you like these?   The fish sheet pan dinners are SO easy!  I switch up what I use.   Tuesday, I made roasted red potatoes on one baking sheet.  Just cut up red potatoes into large chunks, drizzle with olive oil and season with your favorite seasonings....
