When you feel like you are getting nothing done....

 You actually check and see what you did yesterday and find progress. The 'news' is getting me upset with the freedoms being taken away and trampled on. I just hope that since I changed my name when I got married, I can still vote in the next election..... if we have one? I've already told hubby I might need to legally change my name back, no offense. He is perfectly fine with that. My legal name no longer matches my birth certificate. Do you know where your birth certificate is? Mine is in my safe.

The SAVE Act (H.R. 22 / S.128) – A Voter Suppression Bill


Back to more fun things....


Diann asked for the Mexican Skillet recipe.  I figured I'd share it on here as well. This is a snapshot of the recipe page from the Taste of Home 2003 Cookbook. We have tried the spinach apple salad as well and it was yummy.

Instead of starting stitching the prepped hexagons, I decided to start stitching the done ones into sets of two. They will become sets of 4 soon.


I also added a granny square after work and before heading to pick up Emily from horses. She and Kyra went to the barn for a few hours while Lori taught a few lessons and had theirs. I believe they were brushing and giving the horses some pampering and attention. She also had her lesson on Doc and then rode 3 other horses for a little bit. She was exhausted when I picked her up. The temps were in the mid 80's. 


Today I've got an appointment for a bone density and mammogram, then I have my riding at 2. I might cancel it though as Emily has a guard practice at 4 and hubby has been feeling off in the afternoons and should not be driving. We will see.

Since we have boatloads of eggs ( more than 4 dozen) it will be a quiche kind of night I think.

I'm not sure if this is right but I think if you have a "real" ID drivers license with the gold star on it that makes it so you can get on a plane then you are ok. If you are already registered to vote you should be ok. Now of course I might not be understanding it correctly and wonder also what happens when I go to vote in mid-terms

The most difficult thing is that we just never "know" what will happen next!!:((((

Thank you so much for sharing the recipe,Deb. I have always loved the Taste of Home magazines. Your hexies are looking fantastic.

It's a difficult and stressful time, isn't it? Every day there is something. I've paid attention to the SAVE act on one day, only to be distracted by worries about the VA or Social Security the next. Let's hope they can't pass this ridiculous voting act.
