I've been gone a while, haven't I?  But I'll make up for a lot of lost weeks tonight.

Show and Tell #1

Breakfast this past weekend at our home:

Pancakes, anyone?  Butterscotch (for Rachel); Cherry; Chocolate Chip

(for Jacob); Blueberry; Blueberries and Walnuts (for dad).

Mix pancake batter in each bowl.

Help to the rescue for all this hard work...

I used an entire box of pancake mix.  I served eggs over easy and scrambled, too.

There was a lot left over, so I put them in seperate pyrex dishes and labeled

them.  Their in the freezer now, waiting for the next weekend when we feel

like pancakes.  Just stick in the microwave, and ta-da, no mess, yet delicious

pancakes.

Ruthie won a bike this week! We had filled out a form at a grand-opening of a new

restaurant (over the weekend)  and they called us Tuesday afternoon to tell us the good news.

We had a fun night. All of us,  plus Grandma and David, Matt and Kristi, came

to celebrate with her.  They took her picture for the newspaper. 

 A very happy little girl!

Show and Tell #3

Dinner tonight (just about one hour ago).  When I make lasagna, I make a lot

of it.  I figure that as long as I am going to the effort of making noodles, sauce,

and meat (which had already been browned previously and was in my freezer, so this saved time

tonight), I might as well make extra dishes of lasagna to put in the freezer, too.  

But sometimes, everyone just happens to drop by and there's not as much to be put

in the freezer as I'd thought.  I made three dishes of lasagna tonight. 

Guests:  Dad, Mom (me), Rachel, Joshua, Ruthie, Jacob:   Jennifer;  Matt and Kristi;

Grandma and my brother David.   

 (Picture taken just an hour ago)

I served garlic bread and salad with the lasagna.  And there was still one dish of lasagna left

to put in the freezer.  Now, another day when I've been busy (hopefully, riding horses), I will have

a quick and easy supper of home-made lasagna.

I couldn't help but include this picture - taken this morning.  My horses were cuddled together

in the pasture, sleeping!
