Something Yummy

 Hello!

Hope everyone is well.

Today I have an oldie but yummy recipe 

for you.

This is a good one for a small or large 

crowd.  Adjust ingredients as needed

for your group.

Veggie Salsa

2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes, drain well and 

reserve the liquid

1 med green pepper

1 clove garlic

1/2 C red onion

5 green onions

1/2 C cilantro

1 can shoe peg white corn

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can black eyed peas, rinsed and drained

3/4 C zesty Italian dressing

Finely chop all veggies. Combine all 

ingredients, adding enough reserved

liquid from tomatoes to desired 

consistency. 

Serve with tortilla chips.

Enjoy!!

This is a fave of Mr. Ken's!

Holiday Week

 

Well friends, here we are, the week before 

4th of July.

Time is flying, who is ready? Um...not me!

But beginning tomorrow things will start

happening. I am hoping to do several posts 

this week too.

Do you decorate for the 4th?

I do though not sure how much will get done

this year. Have tried to get flags outside but

that is usually when it decides to rain.

Hopefully we get a break from that.

I have several inside decorations that I would 

like to get out so we'll see.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Summer! WHAT?!

Happy Summer!

Popping in with a quick post.

A Summer bucket list. 

You will probably need to click 

on it to enlarge. Hopefully you 

will find something fun to 

celebrate Summer.

Here are some of the things I 

hope to do:

Go for a walk at night

Ride bikes

Go to the Lake (for the day)

Go to the movies

Swing at the Park  ; )

Have a picnic

Play games

Build a bonfire (in the firepit)

Roast Marshmallows (and  make

Smore's) 

We have planted veggies +flowers

We visit with our neighbors ALL

the time.

I will see my Cousins on Saturday

meeting them for dinner after a 

year of not being able to gather 

together!

What will you do this summer?

Most of this is geared for kids so 

have fun with the Grands or nieces

and nephews too. BUT don't let that

stop you, let us know what you may

do!!

Monday...

 

Good Morning, I hope your day

has started off well.

We had a great weekend ! 

Our neighborhood had it's annual 

Garage Sales, we did not participate

this year. I did go to some of the sales

though. One of my favorite sales was 

the . 25 sale my neighbor was having.

Everything except the large furniture 

was a whopping quarter.! Forgot to 

take a pic but I picked up a nice size 

universal calendar that you use a dry 

erase marker on, two very nice vintage 

tablecloths--yep vintage, some baking 

pans and a white porcelain like Holy 

Family.

BUT the BIG score for the day was that 

cutie in the picture above! Wanna guess

how much...I'll wait. FREE!! Yes, indeed

friends. I said FREE. It was on her curb

with a bunch of other stuff. I cannot tell

you how excited I am ! Looking forward 

to putting this on my porch this winter.

I did tease Mr. Ken that we might have 

"Christmas in July" just so I can put it 

out. He looked at me as though I was 

kidding. HA! HA!

This week will be busy around here. I am 

working at Bible School three days plus

getting ready for family to arrive on 

Friday. We are all going to the Royals 

game that night. On Thursday and Friday 

I will finish prep for them. Saturday we 

will do fun stuff and on Sunday we will 

all go down to my brother in laws to 

celebrate Father's Day.

Whew I'll need a rest on Monday.

Mr. Ken took some vacay time next 

week so who knows what will take 

place!

I hope to be back again but not sure

with this crazy schedule.

Random Thoughts

Happy Wednesday!

It is HOT here! I am not a fan.

Spring left very fast.   :(

We need some rain, getting a bit dry.

Ice Cream is becoming a daily thing.

Who gets a sore throat in June? I am

blaming the air conditioner and the 

heat.

I love 70's music.

Do not miss the early alarm to get 

up.

Salads are my fave in the Summer.

Told you it was random. :)

I'll be back soon with Part 2 of our 

Oklahoma trip.

Good Morning...

I have a little "life hack" for you today.

Keep one of these in your car and use 

it to carry multiple items. I use mine 

for groceries. Trips to Target, Wal-

Mart and I have even used it at the 

Garden center.

Saves on multiple trips back and 

forth and it helps my back too.

As long as I don't load it down. :)

There you have it, my nugget for 

the day.

Enjoy!

One of Those Fun Days

 Hello and Happy Friday!

Today is a big day! 

It is National Doughnut Day!!

Apparently the day was established in 

1938 to honor The Salvation Army 

Donut Lassies. These were ladies that 

served treats to soldiers during World 

War I. Traditionally celebrated on the 

first Friday of June.

Who knew??

I'll be honest here and say I LOVE 

DOUGHNUTS!!!

Chocolate covered ones

Long Johns

Crullers

Twists

Cream filled

Glazed

Cinnamon Rolls too

One of our fave places to get these 

yummies is at our local Quick Trip gas 

station. Oh MY! Love them from small 

Mom and Pop shops too.

How about you? What's your take on 

doughnuts?

Happy Weekend!
