THE BLESSINGS OF EVERYDAY....

Now this is excited....little Sophia, so excited to see a new friend.

And I want you all to know, that this is how I feel about all of you
my sweet friends. Thank you for taking the time to visit me and to
leave such kind comments....I just love all of you and if I could I
would do just what Sophia is doing, plus... I would give you a BIG HUG!

This is our grandson Caleb and his dog Libby. And this is what all
little boys should get to do on a snowy day. Doesn't this look like
so much fun?!

It makes me want to be little again. We did this with our kids when
they were little too. At that time, I had a big black Newfoundland dog.
and then later we did it with our golden retrievers. Always so much fun!

My daughter Lindsey went to her husbands family Christmas party...
She had her baby Sophia wear her new Christmas shirt, (She is the one
on your left) but then another little cousin comes in with the same shirt
on, and then another cousin came in with the very same shirt on! They
all thought it was very funny! Good taste I say...they all look so cute in it.

And one more matching picture, our daughter Tiffany with her little Ella.
I think they are so pretty in their matching sweaters, don't you, love it!

Lindsey and Michael took their little Sophia swimming for the first time.
She is just five months old but has been sitting up for over a month now,
here she is going down a slide! Such a cute teenie in her bikini, love her.

A couple of gorgeous sunsets from my front windows...

they have really been wowing us of lately! I am so very

grateful for this beautiful earth that was created for us.

It's so amazing to watch all of it's workings everyday, what a blessing!

I caught these three sitting in a spot of sun the other day. I thought it

was amazing how they looked like they were all posing for their picture!

I'd say the new little homeless kitty Bob has settled right in wouldn't you?!


~One of my favorite meals~

" CHICKEN QUESADILLA FIESTA "

Chop 1 red sweet pepper, set aside.
Coarsely chop 1 (14oz.) chicken tenders,
toss with 1 T. fiesta lime seasoning blend.

Heat 1 T. Olive oil in a large skillet, add chicken
along with 1 clove garlic, minced. Cook, stirring
occasionally for about 4 minutes or until the meat
is no longer pink inside.

Add 2/3 cups of the red chopped pepper, and
1/3 cup frozen corn, cook for 2 minutes.
Add a can of black beans, stir and heat.

Spoon filling onto 4 (8") tortillas. Sprinkle with
cheese and top with another tortilla. Spray pan
with Pam, put tortilla on griddle. Cook each side
until browned (about 2 min. per side) Serve with
sour cream, salsa and avocado, lime juice. Serves 4

You can make this with any kind of beans or a
scrambled egg can sub for chicken, or try veggies,
chopped broccoli, zucchini some onion, anything you like!


Well, it looks like the new year has started of right, we still
don't have any snow but we do have full sun everyday, one
of the blessings of living at 7,000 ft. It is really windy today
though...maybe a snow storm is blowing in, that would be nice!
