I picked Ruth Ann up shortly after noon today and I haven't stopped to catch my breath since!
This was my haul at the thrift store!
Those Pear Candles will be used by the place settings for my 'After the 4th' dining room table.
I always love anything that has to do with sunflowers and just yesterday I realized how close September 1st is!!! Only 61 days and a wake up to my favorite day of the year! So OF COURSE when I found some 'Fall Debris' I HAD to get it!! I can never have TOO many fall decorations!!
Ruth Ann and I had worked up an appetite! Taco Salads at El Chico - YUM!!!

My friend, Reaoma, was game to take in a movie with us so we swung by her place to pick her up and arrived in the theater just as it was starting! WHAT a good movie!!!
Patricia Heaton was wonderful in it and we all laughed and laughed! EVERYONE in the audience laughed!
PLUS, the movie had a wonderful message about how God sees us and how special we all are to him.
How he is always there for us to give us strength. It is heart warming to see a secular movie with such a warm message! Win! WIN!!
I raced home to get dinner in the oven!
Today I tried not one but TWO recipes from Facebook!
This is 7 - Up Biscuits and using only 4 ingredients!
4 cups of Bisquick
1 cup of sour cream
1 cup of 7 Up
1/2 cup melted butter
(I didn't have 7 Up. I sent Louis Dean to the store with a list and he bought Diet Coke instead! I used some carbonated peach flavored water and the juice from a fresh lemon. Worked for me!!)
You melt the butter in a sheet pan. Mix the other ingredients and pat dough out and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Mine do not look very pretty because I tried to use wax paper to roll the dough out and that SO didn't work! Bake 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees.
They may not LOOK pretty but they were YUMMY!!!
I had a cute little helper at my house this evening!!
Rayne Pooh!!!
The second recipe was for Caramelized Baked Chicken Wings and Pork ribs.
Easy peasy and yummy yummy!!!
You place the chicken and /or ribs on a sheet pan.
Mix 2 T olive oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 T ketchup
3/4 c honey
garlic
salt and pepper
I didn't measure anything and I know I used extra of everything!
Bake at 350 for an hour.
I had to bake mine a little longer but they were SO good!!!
Not only did Rayne come over this evening - so did Summer - AND Benjamin!!!
I had 2 of my children here - my youngest and my oldest!!
We are all so very happy to have Ben back in Texas!!
We normally start painting by 6:00 or so.
Tonight it was nearly 9:00!!!
I am bound and determined to get this canvas DONE!!!
I think one more session will do it.
I already signed my name!!
