Watching Country TV
Petey and Lilly checking out the view from the living room window. There are always good things to see.

My life day to day
Big Year
Big Year is the title of a movie I just watched. I has Steve Martin, Jack Black, Owen Wilson and a bunch of other wonderful actors in it. It is about a competition among birders to see who can see or hear the largest number of birds in one year. Even if you aren’t that into birds or birding, it is a good heartfelt movie, and I highly recommend it.
In the spirit of that movie, here are two birds in my birdbath….a male cardinal and a male dark eyed junko.
Sunday Brunch
Sunday, Glen and I finally had some time together….before I had to go to work. Since we love cooking together we decided to try out a new recipe, that we only sort of followed. We made baked cheddar eggs and potatoes, courtesy of Taste of Home magazine.
First we sauteed onion, garlic and jalapeno pepper in some olive oil. Then we added frozen hash-browns and cooked them until they were almost done.
Then we stirred in some bacon…..because bacon make everything better!
We made little pockets in the hash-browns and cracked the eggs into them.
We put the whole thing in the oven and baked it for about 10 minutes when we then put cheese on top and put it back in the oven to melt.
We finished it off with fresh chopped tomato, green onion and cilatro. We baked it a little too long because the yolks were hard, but it didn’t matter, it was still fantastic.
What Goes On When I’m At Work
I have been on the evening shift for the last five weeks. So, Glen has had to bear sole responsibility for all the critter cuddling. Tough job 🙂
A Fun Day with Family, Friends and Guns
Last Saturday we had friends and family over for some target shooting.
Here is George looking all cool with his dads .357.
Joyce was talked into shooting the .357 by her husband…..
Joyce: That was totally awesome!!
Katie taking aim and annihilating the targets.
Glen: I love shooting guns!
Bravery
After a couple of days of having company during the Thanksgiving holiday, Eva got brave and decided to visit Katie and check out the view from her shoulder. They were both very impressed with each other :o)
New Friends
To work off some holiday calories Glen and I took Petey for a nice walk. On our way we were infiltrated by a pair of happy go lucky dogs who belong to people who live way, way, way down the road from us. They just let their dogs run loose, which is just beyond me. Now I have a new worry that they will get run over…..sad that their owners don’t care. Here they are conducting a circle of sniffing.
The little bitty dog hangs out at our neighbors house a lot. They have called the owner, but they never get a return call. They are contemplating keeping her. They have even named her Maggie.
Non Traditional Thanksgiving
This year Glen’s family decided to do things a little different. Since Glen’s mom is still recovering from her knee surgery, and our house is still a work in progress (melding two households together…..plus I had to work), we decided to eat out. Let someone else do all the cooking and clean up. Super fantastic idea!
Yep….we ate chinese and sushi. I love sushi!!!
Me: I am ever so thankful for a sushi buffet!
Glen’s brother George…
Sister in law, Joyce….
This is me and Glen’s neice, Katie. She dressed all pretty and I had to be talked out of wearing sweat pants.
Turkey Coma
Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Tell me, did you eat a traditional meal? If not, what did you have? Did you eat out somewhere? This year Glens family decided to eat out. Will fill you in on Monday. Don’t you just love a teaser? :o)
