Some Saturday Happenings

WORDS TO LIVE BY

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Ephesians 4:29

IN THE KITCHEN



I bought several packs of Cheddarwurst last week that I thought would go good with potatoes. For dinner this evening I made a casserole with cubed cooked potatoes, cubed Cheddarwurst, diced onions, cheese and milk. I used flour as thickener and seasoned with salt and pepper.

I also started a slow cooker of butter beans with ham and onions for lunch tomorrow. 

YARD AND GARDEN

Doug mowed the yard today and parts of this garden that are done for this year. I didn't get as much this year as I had hoped but it's OK. It was still fun.

Mateah found this praying mantis in the yard this afternoon and was SO excited. She came running in asking me to come take a picture of it. 



AROUND THE HOUSE

I was home all day today and was able to get a good bit of work done here at home. I washed the kitchen walls, cleaned out the refrigerator, cleaned a shelf we have over our stove, dusted and vacuumed the master bedroom, swept the floors, took out the trash, did one load of laundry, and washed the dishes. Amanda vacuumed the living room and playroom.

IN THE GARAGE

Doug was out trying to work on this trailer today. Michael, Cayson and Talis were out with him and I'm not sure how much he got done because they were asking questions and needing help. But they seemed to be having a good time.


OUT AND ABOUT

Michael went with Mateah and Nancy to a birthday party this afternoon and Doug and Austin went to help a friend with a project for a couple hours. Doug also took Michael, Talis, and Cayson with him when he took trash to the dump.

AND MORE

It was a beautiful day today and the kids were outside a lot. It's the time of year when I try to make sure they make the most of the nice weather because all too soon cooler weather will be here.
