Play Day

I saw a posting on Facebook this morning that inspired me to get creative with the camera again. Remember, I don't have much for a camera, but it does what I need it to do at this point. Sure, I'd love to get a new camera but I've already made my big purchase for the year...my Dyson vacuum.

I am still in that awe that I am a married woman. Does it take like a year for it finally to sink in? The other night Travis made a comment, using "girlfriend." I asked him what her name was, and he graciously replied, "Wife. It still seems weird to say." It made me chuckle a bit.

Here are some that I took today during my blurt of creativity. And no, the Scrabble game is  brand new; never been played yet. I've attempted to gave it played during game night but I was denied. Enjoy!

One of these days I will get back to cooking/baking something utterly special and share it. This week I have been pretty boring. If you need some quick ideas for dinner-here are two things that are very easy! Monday was my husbands birthday, so he and I celebrated the day before with one of his favorite dinners: Ribs in the crockpot. I'm not big into fall of the bone ribs (I always seem to get one ones with hardly any meat) on the bone. Therefore, I prefer buying country style ribs (no bones) which are "all meat." You've got to be careful though because they usually don't have a lot of fat, which is what helps in the flavor as well as to not dry them out. I marinated the ribs for 2 days in BBQ sauce with 4 small cloves of garlic (whole). We've always got scalloped potatoes and a veggie on hand so it was meat, potatoes and peas for dinner that night.

Last night I was in a Mexican mood. Enchiladas are quick and easy! A pound of hamburger (browned), two cans of red enchilada sauce (mild, medium, hot-your pick), 8 soft tortilla's, cheese! If you get the cans of sauce my bet is the recipe is on there. My husband isn't much of a rabbit eater so he just eats the enchiladas with taco rice. I spiced it up with a side salad-but the sky is the limit! It's your kitchen, your taste buds, your stomach!

Unfortunately, tonight is a road trip kind of night. We're off to Hastings to bring in a friends hunting boat to get "tuned up." Not sure what the boys did to it so, enough of trying to fix it on their own; let the professionals fix it.

Question for today: What skill or hobby gives you joy? Why?
