FLU BUG STRIKES


 
  • We had a fun week planned to go up North and see some of the Fall colors. We have been wanting to do this for sometime but never had the time before. Sorry to say we didn't get our chance. We went to pick up our grandson Sunday night so he could come with us. After dinner he took his bath , had his stories and tucked into bed with a Peter Rabbit Movie. He loves how Peter is a naught bunny and Mr. McGregor chases him around the garden. Somewhere around 1:00 AM he was crying for gramma and then it started...The Flu Bug....his mom was able to pick him up around noon, after finding a work replacement ,but it was to late for us.We had been exposed to the germs. Good thing we decided to take a day before heading back to the plan. I got sick..ugg..Hubby not so bad but he developed a toothache so we spent our week recovery and next week a trip to the dentist will be in order, I did get a picture of the tree in our yard. That is all the Fall color I will see this week.
  • Thanks for stopping by Hope to be well soon!!

ALMOND-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

I have a favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I use but today I thought I would change it up. I was at SAMs Club a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon a jar of Almond Butter. It is usually very expensive but this 26 oz jar was just a little over 6 dollars so I thought I would try it. We eat a lot of peanut butter in our house so I thought it might be a nice change. We were not diss appointed. Today I am trying it in my peanut butter cookie recipe. I used half peanut butter and half almond butter .ot produce a much more mild flavor of both. I think I like it. I will have to see if Hubby likes it too. Oh yes I will be sending some off to my test group USPS . Let's hope they like them too!!

AUTUMN BROWNIE COOKIES

I was playing around wit a recipe I have for chewy brownie cookies. I bought the new M&M's they have out for Fall, candy corn m&m's. They are a little to sweet for me but I tried them in this recipe anyway. It was a good match but still a little to sweet so the guys and hubby's work were happy. I send all my extra baking there. You might say they are my test group when trying new recipes

PRAIRIE MORNING

this morning is a little cloudy but I love to watch the sun rise on this cornfield from my livingroom window

this is what I see from the windows on the otherside of the livingroom(or if I step out my front door)

I am decorating for the Fall but not sure if you can see it here. The 3 barrels are newly planted with mums.
I have been watching the sunrise on this cornfield all summer and was wanting to capture a picture of it. Today I went out but the weather is a little cloudy this morning  so the effect is not quite the same. I am hoping to get a really nice camera soon but it is been placed lower on the list. We live on a budget here at Prairie Point and when needs come up wants get pushed down on the list. You may have noticed I live in a housing developement but what you can't see is it is truley on a prairie between several farms. I am hoping to get more information about this plot of land but this is what I know so far, it used to be a farm and I believe the owners still have the original house nearby that is what I am still trying to find out. It seems that the more big corporations take over and expand the little guy has to sell out just to survive.

Thanks for stopping buy and feel free to comment.

STILL LEARNING.....

 
 
 
WELL HERE I AM TAKING A WHOLE AFTERNOON TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO BLOG ON A LAPTOP. I REALIZED I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ALL MY PICTURES FROM MY OTHER COMPUTER SO THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. I AM CHALLENGED BY ALL THE CHANGES BLOGGER MAKES AS WELL AS FACEBOOK ETC. I AM OVER 50 SO LEARNING IS A LITTLE SLOWER PROCESS THAN BEFORE. I PROBABLY SHOULD CALL MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON TO COME OVER AND HELP HIS POOR OLD GRAMMY , THEY SEEM TO KNOW SO MUCH THESE DAYS. JUST WHEN I FIGURE OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE SOMETHING CHANGES AND I GET ALL CONFUSED. I WAS SURPRISED HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS JUST TRYING TO CHANGE FROM A COMPUTER TO A LAPTOP. DON'T GET ME WRONG IT WAS ROCKET SCIENCE BUT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A STRUGGLE AND I STILL  MAKE MORE MISTAKES THAN I LIKE TO ADMIT. I SUPPOSE THE TRICK IS TO PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, AS MY TEACHERS USE TO SAY.
 
Thank You for the visit and hope you return to see how I progess.
 
{Maybe I will have some pictures downloaded by then...hehe}
