My Mom's Chicken Pot Pie

If there is one thing I learned and love to get from my mom are her quick and easy recipes for weeknight dinners. With the cooler weather in town for a spell, I have been cooking more often. So I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes that I learned from my mom growing up.

Raindrops

Rain Rain go away... come again another day, but these old men are still gonna play.

I volunteered to work the golf tournament, and even with the rain, the games went on. Here are some pics of the rainy day.
There is just something about wet feet that makes me want to rip off those wet socks, put on a pair of warm pj's and warm socks, and watch some tv, until I fall asleep that is. In the meantime stay dry! HAPPY WEEKEND!

Facelift

I so desperately want to expand my living room area, I also in the future want to change the front look of my house. The front is so plain. Right now we have a inset porch that takes away our living area, so I would like to close it in and have that area for our living room. Then I want to add a porch with that adding to the roof line. In doing so I can either do siding under the porch or try to reuse the brick somehow. I also want to change out the windows one day, and paint the shutters black. Another option that I like would be to white wash the brick.

This is my house now...

And this is my house after photoshopping a porch in.

I like this porch because it is like most houses of the period of my house, but it has a different face to it making it look up-to-date. The options shown here include, with and without siding and with or without white washing. I know I won't be doing this anytime soon, but I like to know what I want in my house. That way I have something to look forward to, and to plan and save for.

Summer Days by the Fire

Our family loves to get together and have bonfires. That is the reason why my parents built a fire pit in their back yard. We have spent a few of our summer nights this year roasting hot dogs and marshmallows for smores. Got a love a good ole bonfire! My aunt, cousin, and her boys were all down recently so we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather and have us a bonfire. Chloe loves to play with her cousins maroon clothes and all. :P Bonfire nights always end in sticky fingers and full tummies for all of us, including the dogs who are always ready and waiting for the burnt wienies!
