How many times will I use the colander?

It's 10:47am and lunch/dinner is all ready!!! Brisket (cooked overnight in crock pot), grilled chicken, smoked sausage, potato salad, ranch potatoes (the kids do not like potato salad), corn on the cob, stuffed jalapenos, devilled eggs, veggie tray, and.....Mixed Baked Beans. This is a new one for me. I've had something similar at family reunions and cook outs, so I decided to try it myself. I used the left over sauce from the brisket, emptied all the beans below into it, added cooked ground meat, and an onion. All are cooking in the crock pot now....we'll see if it's any good!
Danny, who tends to wash dishes as fast as I make the mess (not complaining!)...was just washing the colander for the 5th time, he actually asked me how many times I was going to use it today. I said "AS MANY TIMES AS I NEED TOO, sweetheart!" Such a silly question....he probably doesn't realize that I'll use it now, even if I do not need it!

Even funnier? He and I are home alone.....Chelsey is on her way from Holly Lake Ranch with friends, and then headed to Lake Lewisville with Dallas. Colby is at Lake Texoma with Ashley, Tazz and the boys, they were going tubing today. Least Danny and I will have plenty to eat. Think I'll go find another use for the colender now. Happy Memorial Day!

A trip to Starbucks and.....

A simple trip to Starbucks yesterday morning turned into a Road Trip for Danny and I. We went to my favorite place up north... CHOCTAW!!! Lots of people there, they had a $5000.00 per hour give a way. Never heard my name. Chelsey text that she was not feeling good, and she was at Holly Lake Ranch, so Danny and I jump into the car, and start cutting across country...only to receive another call from her, while we are going thru Bonham (thank goodness no further, or she would have come home no matter what!) she calls back and says never mind, I feel better. Oh to be a 16 year old high maintenance child... I hope she has 5 children someday, all girls.

Got home just as the sun was about to go down. Fished for just a few minutes, caught one crappie, one bass, and a nasty looking mud cat.

Again, bed by 10pm........

Whoosh....what a busy Saturday

Wow, what a busy day! Up early, off to grocery store, back to fling together Taco Salad, jump in the SUV, drive a bit fast to Lovejoy for Ladycat Softball (lost 5-0), drove back home, jumped in shower, grabbed Taco Salad fixings, took off to Point for Danny's Fenter Family Reunion at Point Church of Christ.

Back home by 9:30, and I fell out asleep at 10pm. Today is road trip time....Colby is at Ashley's, Chelsey is going to the lake with friends and Danny and I shall take a Jeep ride until dark.....it's been a while, last time we ended up finding Catfish Races and finally ended our trip in Madill, Oklahoma, before turning around and heading home. Stay tuned for what adventure we find today.

Friday night

It's obvious who got home first last night...

Colby called me at about 10pm, because he knew I was probably worried about him, to say that he was safe and sound at Tyler's watching tv. Chelsey on the other hand, didn't answer my "get home soon" text at 11pm. Amazing the difference in those two!

Ladycats lost game 2 of the series last night, 2-1. Play again (game 3 of 3) today. Winner goes to State Tournament in Austin next weekend. Fingers crossed. One memory of last years game....we drive to Austin, arrive and the campus requires that the fans from the prior game leave the stadium (yes EVERYONE), before they will let fans for the next game in. We all know it's so they can charge for every game...but MAN was it hot last year, no shade, sun roasting all of us as we stood in line. Might be a repeat this year!

Plans for today, grocery store, softball game, Danny's family reunion this afternoon/tonight, and then not sure. We may take a road trip on Sunday, or just veg by the pool. I bought sun screen, either way!

XOXO,

Pam

Can't help but make this statement

Since I have no idea who looks at our blog, besides Megan, Carla, Jeannine, Judy, and Mom....but we've had almost 1000 hits to the blog in recent weeks, I'm going to go out on a limb, to make a statement.

I'm hearing thru the grapevine, that I'm trying to hire people away from my former office. Nothing could be further from the truth. One simple Facebook post, mind you I have 500 Facebook friends, caused alarm as well. I'm recruiting, and have my sights set on building a fabulous team, YES, but not from my former office... So, to whomever might be checking our blog out, I'm flattered to be a topic of conversation.

12 LONG innings...

Everyone knows how much I enjoy sports here in Celina, right? Well....tonight the Ladycat's Softball team went TWELVE innings and finally pulled it out with a big bat rally of 8-2. Going at it again tomorrow night, to sweep the series, and head to Austin next week. Almost 4 hours on a hard bleacher has taken it's toll on my rear end....tomorrow, I'm taking my cushion!

Colby drop home from the game....and I only text Tyler once to check on them.

Chelsey went with her pal Shelby, who got her license yesterday too. Yep, the Dynamic Fenter Duo is mobile. (sigh)

Happy tomorrow is Friday and ready for a 3 day weekend.

XOXO,
Pam

One down one to go...

One license down, one to go on the 6th.... Still can't believe it. Time sure flies.

That's all I got tonight.
