Church Dinner

I had a great time at church on Sunday. We have a very good Praise and Worship Group and excellent music. We heard a good message and then afterwards there was food. The men prepared the food this time. They made all the fixings for a wonderful tasty potato bar. Chili, cheese, onions and spices if you wanted to put on top, plus a side of broccoli. There was water and lemonade to drink and cookies for dessert. We always have a host at the table and something to do to help us get to know each other better. It was so much fun and good food and laughs.

More Birthdays

Yesterday we celebrated one of my littlest great grandson's birthdays.  He will turn one on the 20th of November and his folks threw a great party yesterday.  He really got into opening the presents.  For one so young, he ripped off the paper like he knew what he was doing :0)  It was so cute.  Of course, his older sister, age 5 and brother, who will be 3 this week, enjoyed helping him as much as his folks would let them to open the gifts.  They had their cousins over and enjoyed playing with the new games.  His dad decorated a neat cake with a brown football on top of a green football field.  That with ice cream, punch and crackers and a cheese ball filled everyone up for awhile.    Later chili with fritos and cheese was enjoyed by all.

Cooking for One

I thought cooking for two was hard when our last child left home. However, now I am cooking for myself only and that is much harder. It is very hard to make any quantity of anything or you have to eat leftovers forever it seems. It is nice when others give you something to take home and it tastes so good for a change. This week, I had a great casserole and biscuits at my daughter's and she sent home a bowl of chili. It is so nice to have something new and different for lunch and I don't have to think about what I am going to fix.
