No Beans Allowed

As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it. ~Buddy Hackett

Today I made my first batch of Chili... It was ok, I seriously hate beans so they were not included in my recipe. It smelled good, looked great, but tasted kind of like burrito meat from Taco Bell. I guess it might taste better wrapped up in a tortilla. To add some flavor I added some cheese and sourcream to my bowl and ate it with tortilla chips. It basically tasted like a taco salad without the lettuce.. ugh. Now I have a whole pot of this stuff that I am not too wild about. I think next time I want to make something new, I will think twice.

Goodbye Summer

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!



Tomorrow is the first day of Autumn. The summer is ending too soon, however I will say that I do love the smell and colors of Fall. My leg is finally healing, and I am getting around a lot better. I started taking my interests in photography to a new level and am excited to see where it leads me. I have made a decision in my life to move back into town on my own. Although I sincerely appreciate all the help I have received in the past several months with my leg surgeries, I feel that I am at a point in my life that I must again learn to do things on my own and find the independency that I once was so proud of. I have moved my animals with me, Mo and Sammi are adjusting well. Bella is doing well also, however she does divide her time between being in town with me and out in the country with Lyle. I had the opportunity to take a couple camping trips this summer and a few trips to the coast, although I wish I could have done more, I am grateful that I was healthy enough to finally get out and experience the activities that I enjoy once again. I am looking forward to my new adventures coming this Fall and Winter, and am excited to visit future pumpkin patches, holiday bazaars, winter festivals, Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends as well as Christmas time with those close to me.

Been Gone Too Long

We only part to meet again.

Wow... It has been almost 6 months since my last blog. I really think it is time to begin again. Blogging makes me feel good, and helps release stress in my life. There has been so much going on this year, however I do not feel I could properly catch up on the past, therefor I will begin today going forward.

Please return to my blog often as I will be updating it.
