First off, Thank you to all Veterans who have served their nation. My hubby was in the Air Force back in the early 90's.
I made some progress on gobble gobble. Time to add more brown to the turkey.
I started November 2nd adding one of these a day. All caught up and I'll add a teal one today.
I picked up the girl a couple hours earlier than expected yesterday. Since the government is shut down, they were unable to do one of the museums on the last day as it was a national one. She had a great time and enjoyed peace and quiet in her room for a bit. We had temps around 32 this morning, and she took me up on my offer to start her truck for her 10 minutes before she left for school at 6:40. The boy declined my offer about 40 minutes later when he left. No frost, so it was just cool outside.
I have the day off, and plan to add bear paw blocks and look at 'fixing' a quilt for a friend. It needs a new binding and there is some damage. I think I need to cut off a little from the top and bottom, use that to 'fix' a few areas with applique and then add a new binding.
Greg had mentioned Mexican Skillet as a meal a few times, so I let him make it last night while I went to get Emily. I did pull everything out he needed including the recipe.
The kids found this one years ago and liked it, so we added it to the rotation. It only take 20-30 minutes depending on if you use chicken in a can or raw chicken. I need to start picking a recipe from a cookbook and try them out!
I'm thinking zucchini boats tonight or taco's using ground chicken instead of beef. I'm sure I'll get push back on that swap. Both kids are late tonight - Emily made the JV Winter Guard team and has practice until 7 and Aidan has an Academic Club meet across town, so will be home later this evening. Not as late as last night - he was helping at an event as an Ambassador for the school. Got home around 9PM.
Off to walk the dog, who enjoys these cooler temps we are having for a few days.
Your hexies are coming along so well--sounds like another busy year at your place with activities...enjoy these years--they fly away so fast!!
ReplyDeleteWe had a real temp of 32 this morning and with the wind chill I hate to even think of what it was--Really cold at Big Y when I went early to food shop--it is situated right near the CT river so the wind really whips across their parking lot...Wore my puffy coat for the first time!!
hugs, Julierose
Glad your girl had a good time on her trip, in spite of the shutdown - I can just imagine that the peace and quiet of home would be nice after being on a bus full of teenagers! Glad you're getting some stitching time in, too. Mr. Gobble is looking good! Can you share the Mexican Skillet recipe? I'm always looking for something new to try.
ReplyDeletewould be nice if everything opened up again I imagine a lot of people are missing the museums by now. I see Diann asked about the recipe I too wonder what is in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Deb for your husband and family's service to our country. I hope you had a good Veteran's Day. It is so exciting to see your progress on Gobble Gobble. It is looking fabulous . Your hexis are looking wonderful. Yum on Mexican Skillet!
