Monday Plumbers and Tuesday Treasures!

 My alarm went off at 6:00 Monday morning and I admit to hitting the snooze button FOUR times!!

By 7:30 I was decently dressed. No makeup and I hid my hair under a cap.

I had turned on my fairy lights, made my coffee and read my memory verses by the time the plumber knocked on the door!

I use RWD Services and am glad I have plumbers I can trust.

His name was Mike and he was a diagnostic with a stethoscope 'thingy' that he listened to different places searching for the sound of water running.

He did, indeed, detect a leak that seemed to be coming from the back of the house.

He suspected that the water line between the bathrooms and the main water source had a break or was stopped up.

Within an hour a crew showed up to determine exactly where the leak was.

Louis Dean and I took our coffee out to the gazebo to do our Quiet Time and read.

Lo and behold, the leak was found to be this faucet in the backyard.

They repaired it and it was all a done deal well before noon!!

Not nearly as expensive as I expected!

Praise God!

I made a good dish for a late breakfast/early lunch.

Using my trusty cast iron skillet, I put a large buttered tortilla in it and it was so large that it turned up like a short saucer. I cracked open four eggs and added onion slices, green pepper slices, a couple of sweet peppers, a sliced jalapeno, and seasonings. Then mozzarello and a few spoons of cream cheese and some half and half before I covered it with another tortilla buttered on top and more mozzorella.

Baked at 350 for 30 minutes.

It was so good!!

Served with sour cream, salsa and jalapenos.....

Win! WIN!!

Dinner that night was stuffed manicotti, roasted broccoli and red onions and garlic toast.

I also made steamed broccoli with cheese sauce for Louis Dean.

Tuesday Treasures with Brenda!

I nearly canceled because I woke up in a 'mood.'

I've had a good many things on my mind the last few days and felt totally exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically.

I'm glad I didn't as I felt much better after spending the afternoon with Brenda.

We shopped thrift stores in Lewisville and ate a late lunch at McAlister's afterwards.

Here are my treasures!

Three fall gift bags that I will fill with pumpkin muffins for friends.

A new rug to use in the gazebo for Christmas.

I love games and miss having people to play with.

Next time I have enough people here - perhaps we can play!

This is a metal tin and I plan on putting fall goodies in it.

Ha! I'm going to put ALL my decks of playing cards in this ONE box!!

$1.50 for this candle!

It's burning now in my bathroom and it smells so good!

I immediately fell in love with this soft slinky denim patterned - what do we call it? 

A duster, perhaps?

At any rate, I can't wait to figure out how to style it!!

I'm actually wearing this lightweight chambray dress as I am writing tonight's journal entry.

So comfy!

What a great find in this long green sweater!

Brenda spotted it for me and for $6, I will be wearing this to the hockey games this winter.

A comfy dress to wear around the house in the evenings after my shower...

My best find!!!

A Chico's shrug in the most beautiful shades of green!!!

I will be wearing this many many times!

I keep my eye out looking for something Louis Dean might like.

I found a wonderful wind chime but it needed a little bit of repair.

He does love a project!

And here it is!!

September is over half over.....

but I do love all the 'BER' months!

PS......Personal note to my friend Jodi W in Indiana.

I can't find the note you sent me with your new address!

Could you drop me another one??

Also, if you are not on my Christmas Card list and would like to be added, please private message me or email me so I can get your address. I'm working on my Santas now and will have one or two for giveaways.
