Caramel Corn and Foggy Mornings

My cowboy casserole - I got the recipe from my sister and I tried it and we all liked it. :)  I will be sharing the recipe soon.


Fall colors are starting to show in many places. :)


Do you like fun stamps?  I love these new Charlie Brown stamps. :)


With the cooler weather coming on, the girls and I made a shelter for our stray we call Captain Jack.  We also got a bale of straw for the shelters for them to keep warm.
If you have a feral or stray cat, you can make a simple shelter with a storage container lined with some insulation.  Cut a small opening and tape with duct tape over the sharp edges. Fill with straw - not hay!  It will keep them warm and dry.

Fall bucket list - getting fall drinks from Starbucks.  Pumpkin spice creme frappuccinos.




"Hey Mom.  I really want to go outside.  I know it's still dark and only 6am.  But I'm going to keep meowing until you get up and take me out."




I do love foggy mornings!


Another audiobook finished. :)


Look who finally used his shelter!





The fog brings out things that are often hidden in the sunlight.  Isn't that an interesting thought?  Life seems a little more clear on the "sunny" days but we need the foggy days too.  For they may bring clarity to other things that you just hadn't been able to see in the sunshine. :)



On Thursday, Summer and I made several batches of caramel corn.  We do it in the microwave with a paper bag like my grandma used to do. :)


Kind of odd to have strawberries growing in October!


A bag of homemade caramel corn for my girls when they come home from work. 


Speaking of work, Sierra was given some fresh farm eggs while working the drive-through today.  LOL!


Then dropped off bags of caramel corn for the family as well.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
