It's Year 2013!!













I hope your year has already began with a great start. I came across this poem online and decided to share it with you. 

Be Blessed.


If it didn't bring you joy

just leave it behind
Let's ring in the New Year
with good things in mind
Let every bad memory out
that brought heartache and pain
And let's turn a new leaf
with the smell of new rain
Let's forget past mistakes
making amends for this year
Sending you these greetings
to bring you hope and cheer
Happy New Year!


Until Next Time...

Early Voters


I'm not sure if you are anything like me but I really don't like to wait until the last minute to do anything. Especially if I can help it. So, the husband and I went to vote the other morning. Thankfully, they had just opened up another voting center and we did not have to wait in line.

My middle daughter who is away in school was also able to vote early. They provided the students with transportation to the voting center.

I must say I am proud to see my daughters have their own opinion in the election and taking a stance and voting.

Did you vote early or do you like to wait until the day of the election?

Until Next Time...

Sharing Some Home Cooked Meals.



I decided to share some of the meals I have prepared for my family.
Sorry about the EXTREMELY POOR picture quality. All of them were taken from my phone because when I thought about snapping a picture, I didn't want to go upstairs and get my camera. Okay. Call me lazy.
 

Stuffed Peppers~ the dark things are spinach.

You can see the spinach a little better on this one.



Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Bar-B-Que Country Style Ribs, Field Peas, Steamed Veggies
