Dorito Chicken....YUM!

 Yummy! We love this meal! Leftovers survived to be eaten at breakfast....
                              This not a good for you meal.... 
But sure tastes wonderful...  I have tried to make healthier versions... But uhhhh no thanks. This wins.

                        The recipe is so simple it barely qualifies as a recipe....

2 bags Doritos
2 1/2 LBS of cooked Chicken
2 cans of Rotel (I would do 3 but Daddy likes his chips crunchy still.... )
1 LB of Cheese. ( This here is sharp cheddar, no dyes)

Bake til melted. And enjoy! Yummers!

Wish I had made more....

And she calls him Thunder...


Didn't get great pictures but this is Pear-O's new Colt. He is cute. A bit skiddish just coming off his Momma. He was born in August. Very fun. And we like that she has to work to 'make a horse'. He will be loved and adored. He is, rather.  And is great motivation to get things done! School and chores should be faster with a cute guy to go visit!

Quilts...


After getting the quilt frame and then making two quilt blocks for a quilt we (ladies in the community) are making for a wedding couple. I am hooked on quilts. Really hooked. We went to a local quilt shop and bought fabric and Eleanor Burns book Irish Chain in a day. Looks simple enough. Yet not too plain.
   We washed our fabric. Then Ironed (ICK! Really do not like to iron.)  Cut our strips for the 9 patches. (Pattern goes 9 patch- solid, 9 patch- solid) 
  We then sewed our strips together.  Next comes ironing down our seams. (can I say ick again?)  In the bottom picture we folded our strips to show us what a 9 patch would look like in our fabrics.  My quilt is the purple. I am making King sized for my bed. I have big plans to make us all nice quilts... But think finishing this one is the most important right now. ;)

The Quilt frame...


My Daddy had asked if I wanted a quilt frame he had made. I was glad to have something he made. And said YES! Homemade items are so special to me! I had no idea there was a quilt on it. My husband and brother loaded it in our van and I never saw it til later. I was thrilled to see the quilt! I just wish I knew who made it! I have a couple ideas but nothing for sure. Wish I had my Grandma here to tell me. :( Miss her terrible.
    But this is one of my very favorite treasures! My girls and I are going to finish quilting it. Then we are going to cuddle in our family Heirloom! Ahhh.... Isnt it a beautiful gift!

Friends...



The girls took a few pictures this day. Not very many. It was great fun. And their rescue deer was a great highlight too!
