Got a little catching up to do after a couple of days with no internet! One thing about it, it’s pretty easy to avoid spending any money when you are iced in and can’t go anywhere. Tuesday night I made the following casserole for dinner: Spanish Rice and Bean Pie2 cans beans (pinto, red, black,…
This Explains a Lot…
These photos will help explain my blogging absence. A nice, thick layer of ice coated our wireless internet antenna rendering it useless for a couple of days.
Day Eight…
We are coping with an ice storm here in Oklahoma today and tomorrow. Thus far, we haven’t been hit very hard but there’s been a lot of moisture today and it’s sure to be icy tomorrow. We are currently safe and cosy at home with a nice fire in the fireplace and full tummies. For…
Sad Times on Apple Tree Farm…
We lost seven of our eight chickens last night and have absolutely no idea what happened. Their pen was secure and no evidence of how they got out. I’ll spare you all the details but suffice it to say, I’m pretty saddened by the loss. I also feel really sorry for the one remaining chicken….

I sautéed the boneless chicken breasts (seasoned with garlic salt, pepper, Creole seasoning and Herbs de Provence) in a combination of olive oil and butter. When nearly…

Day Three…
I ended up not even going to town for choir tonight because David was returning from his business trip and I wanted to be home. He ate on his way home from the airport and Chris and I did our own thing. I had some leftover rice from Monday night so I put some grated…
