Hello everyone,
Looks like photobucket is at it again. I've got some tags back and now others are gone. I have no clue what they are doing. So, please excuse the big black boxes until they figure it out. Nothing much going on here today. We were 71 degrees today. Hubby is out on the patio. Sonora (dog) and I don't like the wind, so we are staying inside with the door open. It is finally cooling down, so the door won't be open for long. Looking forward to tomorrow's race. I love my Sundays as they are the day I do what I want...not what I have to. Well...I have to get dinner started. Have a lovely evening and stay warm. Made cauliflower cheese soup with bacon and my breakfast muffins today. What's cooking at your house?

Hello Everyone,
Absolutely nothing going on here today. For some reason I slept in very late today. My mom used to say I would sleep my life away. I love to sleep, always have. But, this will get my days and nights mixed up again. So, I have to be very careful NOT to do that again! Our days are starting to warming up. Spring training is about to start here. Next week is the NASCAR race and then it's all about baseball here. Well, that's all for me. Have a lovely evening and stay warm.Not in the mood to make anything new today. Not sure what's for dinner. Probably leftovers because we have some that need to be used up. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
I'm not sure if you all know that I live in a 50+ park. Some live in RV's and others, like us, live in park models. For the first 5 or 6 years we were here, we had all the same neighbors. Now it keeps changing. We had another one move out this morning. It feels strange. No, they are not dying for the most part. Just moving somewhere else. (I love living here and unless we get a bigger house, I'm staying right here. ) Makes the park feel strange...or should I say different. That's what's going on here today...exciting right??? LOL Last night I made the best cauliflower soup. First try and I nailed it. Will have the leftovers for lunch today...yummy!!! Better get on with my day. Have a good one, be safe and stay warm.Tonight we are having chicken tenders, sweet potato fries and leftover cauliflower casserole. Also want to make some cinnamon and apple breakfast muffins. What's cooking in your kitchen today???

Hello everyone,
Sorry I'm posting so late. Don't have much energy today. We are warm, but overcast and that always makes me tired. Also, my daughter called to let me know that two of my granddaughter's friends were in a horrific auto accident. One died and the other is in extremely critical condition and not expected to live. 17 years old...such a shame. And, it seems it wasn't their fault either. Someone pulled out in front of them. Don't know anything about the other driver. So, I'm just very down today. My kids are in their 40's and I can't imagine losing one of them. My prayers are with the parents and the one survivor. Well, that's all for me today. Hope you all have a good evening, stay safe, drive safely and stay warm.Tonight we are having left over chicken tenders, cauliflower casserole and a salad. What's cooking in your kitchen???

Hello Everyone,Well, I'm late again.Today we lost power. Not sure why. We have no storms or anything.Thinking there must have been a huge accident because it covered miles.So I haven't done a thing today.It's strange how quiet it gets when nothing is running.So, I took the time to read my book. Sonora took a nap and hubby decided to go to Costco.They are far enough away it wouldn't impact them.Well, hubby is home with dinner...fish tonight. Better scoot. Have a lovely evening, stay safe and warm.Tonight is fish and sweet potato fries from Long John silversWhat's for dinner at your house??

Hello Everyone, Watching practice for my NASCAR race tomorrow. We are overcast again. What is up with this? I moved here to get away from that in the frozen north. At least it's cooler for the drivers out at the track. They say we could get some rain tonight or early tomorrow. It better not mess with my race...LOL Finally getting my computer back to working...somewhat. After the power outage yesterday it started acting up. Hubby got tech support to help with it, and it took a couple of hours to get it done. Well, got some stuff to do today. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to research some new recipes to post. Have a great afternoon and evening.DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD BEFORE GOING TO BED TONIGHT.

Hello everyone,We still have a little rain in the forecast. Right now we are partly sunny/cloudy. I'm hoping we will get the race in today. Did you remember to change your clocks last night? We do not do that. Who wants another hour or more of hot sun here in the desert? We would like to do it in the winter here...LOL. I missed DLST the first couple of years I lived here. Up in the frozen north, any more sunlight you get is much appreciated. It used to stay light almost to 10pm. I loved it. Well, driver introductions are about to start. Better get ready. Have a great afternoon and evening. Stay safe and warm.Hubby is in charge of dinner tonight. He wants to make a brisket. We have never tried to make one at home. I'll let you know how it goes, and what he serves with it. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
Wow...what a night we had. Our 10 year old dog was acting strangely all night. Started about 3am. She got up and started wandering all over the house. Wanting to climb up high and/or hide behind anything she could find. Or getting under the bed and trying to find a place to hide. She usually sleeps on the bed with us, but that wasn't working. She kept wanting to climb up behind my husbands head. I had to stay up with her in the living room and keep the bedroom door closed. He couldn't sleep. So I kept her in the living room. I finally fell asleep in my chair and she slept on the floor. I woke up around 11 this morning and my hubby was just getting up too. I went straight back to bed and slept until almost 2. Now my hours are all messed up again. We looked it up on the internet and it seems my dog has anxiety. (?) Why now we do not know. But, we have a vet appt. on Wed. I hope I can stand it that long. Best get going. Have a lovely evening and stay safe and warm.
We are having brats for dinner tonight. What's cooking at your house?

Hello Everyone,
Wow, what a night I had with the dog. She finally settled down and slept a little. Trouble was she was sleeping at my feet while I was sitting in my chair. If I moved then she would get up and start wandering around again. So, I sat in my chair until 6am. I finally couldn't take it anymore and I got up and went to bed. Hubby got up about an hour later because she wanted to climb up behind our bed again. So I guess we are sleeping in shifts now. Not fun. Hubby went to storage and got her crate out. I just can't do this one more night. She finally sees the vet tomorrow. I hope he can figure it out so no more sleepless nights for us. And...no more anxiety for poor Sonora. Well, that's about it for me. I'm so tired I can't think straight. Have a lovely evening, stay safe and stay warm.Hubby is making something with chicken for me. I have no idea what else he will put with it. What's cooking at your house??

Hello everyone,
Another do nothing day for me. Was up with the dog again until 5am. Finally got her to settle down in her crate. She will be seeing the vet today at 5:30pm. I hope he can figure out what is going on with her. I can't take these sleepless nights anymore. Nothing else going on. I need to get into the shower, so this will be short. Have a great evening and remember to stay safe and warm!!We are having pork chops tonight. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
Well, Sonora is back home. Seems it had something to do with her intestines and glands. The vet was a woman and very good with her. We have some pills to give her every 12 hours for her inflammation. She said lots of dog get more anxiety as they get older. If she continues to act anxious then she will give us something for it. She thinks that will go away when the inflammation goes down. So that is over with, and now my lower back is acting up. Woke me up in the middle of the night and early this morning. Feels like a horse kicked me...not good. Took some Advil, hope it helps. Last night's dinner was great. We had pork chops, 1/2 of a sweet potato (each), unsweetened apple sauce and a small spinach salad with strawberries. Yummy. Not sure what's for dinner tonight. Will let you know when I figure it out. That's all for me. Have a lovely evening, stay safe and warm.
Tonight we had Roast Beef, rice and fruit salad. What cooking at your house??

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!! My you all have the luck of the Irish today! Hubby and I were being sloths today. He finally decided to run to Costco or the store or something. I'm still in my PJ's. Sometimes, since I don't go anywhere and nobody comes here, Why bother to get dressed?? I am more comfortable in my PJ's. But, I will get dressed today right after I post this. Since only my hubby liked corned beef, we are not having that for dinner. In fact...I have no idea what we will have. I would love to have a turkey burger (no bun), jicama fries and a salad. We will see what happens. I'll post it when we decide..LOL Don't forget to wear green so you don't get pinched... That's it for me. Have a lovely evening, stay safe and warm!!
We had salad and chicken Alfredo. What was dinner at your house??

Hello everyone,
Watching my race again. My Sunday afternoon entertainment...for the time being. If they keep messing with the rules, I'll have to stop. I don't like it when the owners of NASCAR pick a favorite and then try to make the rules match his style. We will see...Sonora continues to improve, but is not 100% yet. We are calling the vet tomorrow. She still wanders and must be put in her crate at night. She hasn't had to stay in her crate since she was a puppy, or we were traveling. She seems OK with it. Since my birthday is this month, I have to renew my license. I haven't had any tickets, so I think I only have to do the eye test. But, I still get nervous. I don't drive much, but want it for emergencies. Well, that's all for me. Have a great evening and stay safe and warm.We had leftover Chicken Alfredo with broccoli. What's cooking at your house?

Hello Everyone,
Well another Monday is here. Tomorrow starts spring. We are actually having cooler temps lately. Could get some rain on Friday. Doing some heavy cleaning today. I have a tendency to keep things I shouldn't. My kids call me a closet hoarder...LOL I grew up where my mom saved almost everything because you might need it some day. We had jars full of nails and screws and stuff. I have gone beyond that to saving boxes I think I might need someday. So, today I have decided to cut them down and put them in the recycling dumpster we have here in the park. I know I will feel better when done. So, off I go. Not sure what is for dinner yet. Thinking just a huge salad with spinach and strawberries. I'll let you know. Have a lovely evening and stay safe and warm. I had a spinach, lettuce, strawberries & blueberries salad with honey mustard dressing. YUMMY!!!! Hubby had pork steak with cabbage. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
We are finally warming up a little bit here. But it won't last long. We are to get rain here on Friday. As long as the rain and overcast day does not turn into a week, I'll be OK. We are to go on a "mystery" trip on Sat., so I hope it doesn't rain. I don't do trips in the rain anymore. I'm too old for that now...LOL Got a lot of my boxes gone yesterday. Just have a couple more to go through and I'll be done. Feels good to get that stuff gone. I'm taking this week off of eating meat. Just giving this old body a break right now. So, my meals will be boring with just salads and veggies. That's it for me. Have a lovely evening and stay safe and warm. I am having a big salad with lots of veggies. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
Well, today is the day I go renew my license. It's just down the street, so I am waiting until later in the day. That way there will be less people there. It's a small satellite office so most people don't know about it yet. I'm still nervous about going. I get myself all upset. I hope it goes well. I just need it in case I need to drive for some reason. We bought a new car a year ago and I still haven't driven it. Sounds awful with I write that out. But, it is what it is. Well, I have to jump in the shower and get ready to go. I am dreading this so much. Hope I survive...LOL. Have a great evening and stay safe and warm.Again I'm having a salad with spinach, blueberries and strawberries. Last night I added in a hard boiled egg...was very good. What's cooking at your house??

(sorry everyone...just couldn't resist. You know this is good advice...LOL) Hello Everyone,
Well, I got my license and it wasn't that bad. The machine went "blinky" for my eye test, but we figured it out. Then we went to the mall to buy me some much needed bras. (TMI...sorry) So, you all know the food court is there and my hubby loves Chinese food.I can't eat much of it because of my allergies.So, he went to Panda and I got a salad at the Paradise Cafe.They put in dried apples slices. That was sooooo good.Not sure what I will have on my salad tonight, but I still have 3 days left on no animal meat for a week.I'm sure hungry for some bacon or turkey burgers. Look out for next week, that's most likely what I'll be having. Sonora goes back to the vet tomorrow. She seems to get a little better each day.I hope it's true.Well, that's all for me.Have a great evening and stay safe and warm.You all know I'm having salad tonight. What's cooking at you house??

Hello Everyone,
Quiet day today. All my racing stuff is on tomorrow and I will miss it. I am recording it so hopefully I can check it later. Seems my kids and hubby have planned a "mystery" trip for me tomorrow. I told them I didn't want to do anything for my birthday, but they are not listening. So, I will go along with it. Looks like I have to be up by 6am to be ready to go by 7:30. This better be worth it because you all know I don't do mornings...LOL Hubby is taking the dog to the vet (if he ever gets back from their walk.) It's about 30 mins away and he need to get here ASAP. I hate when he does this crap. He really has no concept of time. We can't afford to be late to the vets. They do not wait for you. Whew...just got back and they are now on their way to the vets. Well, that's it for me. Have a great evening and stay safe and warm.Well, it's Friday, so we will be having some kind of seafood tonight. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
Wow has it been an event full weekend. On Sat. my family took me to Sedona. There was 10 of us. Sedona is famous for its red rocks and formations. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there. So, first we went to lunch in a nice place called the Hideaway. They had great food and great views of the mountains. Then we went on a 1 1/2 hour trolley ride that took us all over Sedona. Takes you away from all the tourist stuff and shows you lots of interesting things. The only bad thing was all the people. Wow...I got a little claustrophobic. Seems it was spring break up in Flagstaff and of course, all the snow birds too. And, it was a beautiful Saturday, but was windy. I got to spend the day with my great granddaughter Etreya, whom I had never met. She is 5 months old. She was so good on this trip. I was also so happy to see my grandson JJ and his wife again too, (babies parents). They had moved away about a year ago, but are back home now. We are so happy about that. I was so tired yesterday I didn't do much. My NASCAR race was "snowed" out...LOL. Not sure that ever happened before...LOL They are racing right now. I'm still tired because of all the walking we did. I have COPD and it's very hard for me to do much walking anymore. And, being fat didn't help either. I'm still working on losing my extra weight. But, my family took very good care of me and I had a fabulous time. Well, that's about it for me. I'll try and post some pics from my birthday celebration. Have a lovely evening. Stay safe and warm.Tonight's dinner is pork tenderloin, butternut squash and a salad. What's cooking at your house??

Hello everyone...
Well, today is the day I turned 70...yes...70...YIKES!!!
So, I slept in and took it easy today. Talked to my sweet brother. Had a wonderful conversation with him. Got lots of good wishes from friends and family on Facebook. Right now I am blowing my diet. Having pepperoni pizza and wine. One of my favorite meals that I don't eat much anymore. Well, that's it for me for now. Company just drove up. Will talk with you all later. Have a great evening, stay safe and warm.

Hello Everyone,
Had a great birthday yesterday doing nothing...LOL We got pizza for dinner and watched TV. Sounds exciting doesn't it...LOL Well tonight my kids are coming over to discuss Easter Brunch. We had a little disagreement on what we all wanted for dinner, so we decided on brunch. Some wanted ham, others wanted Leg of Lamb. So, we will have brunch and then each can go home and cook their own dinner. I'm looking up recipes to see what I want to take. Was going to get into the shower earlier, but we had no water. Happens here all the time. We live in a senior RV park and people backing into their spaces bump into the faucet and there goes our water. Only lasts for a short time. Looks like it's back on. Better do my posting so I can get showered and dressed. Have a lovely evening. Stay safe and warm. We are having refrigerator clean up tonight. Making room for those yummy Easter dishes. What's cooking at your house tonight??

Hello everyone,
Absolutely nothing going on here today. Both my husband and I are tired. Having a big birthday and Easter in the same week is hard on us. We don't move as quickly and tire more easily. And, with our grand children having children, it wears us out. You know I have to have my snuggle time with my little ones. So tomorrow we will get a few things for their baskets. Gather up what we are to take to Easter Brunch and come home and make baskets. This year we only have to make 3. That's not so bad except it means my grands are getting older. My youngest granddaughter is 12 and my oldest great grandson is 11. It's wonderful to see our family grow. Well, that's all for me. Have a good evening. Stay safe and warm.Wow, we have so many leftovers and salad stuff, that's what we are eating tonight. What's cooking at your house?

Hello Everyone,
So many things to do before Easter Sunday. At least I don't have to decorate. Gave some of my decorations to my daughter the other day. She has the biggest house, so all our holidays are there. I did put out a few things on our patio, but that's all. Today is shopping for everything we need. (Yes, I know it's late, I do better later during the day. ) Then tomorrow is hard-boiling eggs and making deviled eggs. Sunday I'll make my Crescent, sausage, cheese rolls in time for brunch. So, that's it for me. Have a lovely evening. Stay safe and warm. Tonight we will grab something while we are out. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
We are busy today. Boiling eggs for deviled eggs. Gathering up all the stuff for a few baskets. Then, back to the store to pick up the few things we forgot. Wow...getting older, even with a list, doesn't mean you don't forget things. Then figuring out what we want to eat at the store. (Finally all out of leftovers...lol) Then it's resting for the evening. Have a lovely evening. Stay safe and warm.Haven't decided yet... What's for dinner at your house??

Hello Everyone,
Last night I tried to post a nice long message about our Easter... I was done and exactly when I tried to send it, Proboards went down. I was so angry. Whenever I write a message, it can never be rewritten like the first time. I only get good thoughts once and then poof they are gone...LOL Just know we had a good time with all our family. Came home and both hubby and I took a nap...LOL I was very tired yesterday. My energy is not what it once was. So, I just watched some recorded shows and rested in my chair. Today I am again getting a slow start. Seems like that's the norm for me now. Guess that's all for now. Have a good evening and stay safe and warm.Dinner tonight is baked chicken and veggies. What's cooking at your house??

Hello Everyone,
We had a beautiful here day today. In the upper 80's but a little overcast. My Easter lily is blooming like crazy. It's not Easter to me without a lily. I'm thinking about doing a new feature here. I have so many recipes that I want to make, but never do. So, I thought if I had a weekly featured recipe it would make me. I would pick a different recipe from a different thread, make it and review it. Then I would post it for all of you to read. It might be a main, side, salad baked good or desert dish. Does that even sound like something you would like me to do? I need to get cooking more and not leave it up to my hubby to do all the time. I think this would help me. OK, well, that's all for me. Have a lovely evening, stay safe and warm.Tonight it's turkey burger, cottage cheese with tomatoes and pork and beans. What's cooking at your house??
