13 Reasons to MOVE

1. We hate it here.

2. No medical care within 40 miles, and no transplant care within 150 miles.

3. No Jobs!!!

4. the people are not friendly. The small town (722 residents) are like a high school clique that won't let you in, and believe me I have tried.

5. Only one bank, not ours. Ours is 70 miles away.

6. No grocery store, only a convenience store..nearest grocery is 12 miles away.

7. When it rains you literally cannot get out of town as we are surrounded by rivers and when it rains hard, they rise over the low roads. We discovered this last week.

8. I miss my kids, even though they are grown.

9. I REALLY miss my grandbabies!!!!

10. Our apartment is way too small.

11. I am 30 miles from the places I love, Walmart, McDonalds, Wendys, and I hate it. 150 miles from Michaels, Joanns, thrift stores, all the good places to eat. No fast food here for sure. If you eat, you cooked it.

12. I hate the boonies... and I am living in the boonies.

13. I want to go HOME.

Wordless Wednesday Nov 4

SO much rain here last week!

now beautiful skies again!!

Headache, 30 Giving Challenge, and a Recipe

I have had a terrible headache all day, then had to deal with the government (Social Security and the IRS)....UGH!!! Just getting a simple question answered takes forever and then they are rude! Bad day in general.

30 DAY GIVING CHALLENGE - DAY 3
Since I have had a bad day, my gifts was to both of my grown sons in the form of a phone call to give them some encouragement. One has job problems and the other has the flu.Tomorrow will be a better day for all of us.

My family loves this recipe. I found it on Kates blog several months ago and we Love it! I personally leave out the carrots but that is up to you.

Unstuffed Pepper Skillet Dinner

1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2-3 large green peppers, cut into chunks
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1/3 c. water
1 t. Italian seasoning
1/2 t. cumin
2 1/2 c. fully cooked rice

1. Brown ground beef and onions n a large skillet. Drain. Add carrots and green peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes. You want the peppers to stay somewhat crunchy.
2. Stir in tomato sauce, water, Italian seasoning and cumin. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
3. Stir in cooked rice until heated through. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve and enjoy. (Or refrigerate and reheat in oven or microwave just before serving.)
Leftovers of this work great as a burrito filling. Add some chili powder, more cumin and cayenne pepper, roll up in a tortilla and you’re all set.

The 30 Day Giving Challenge - Day 2

I must be coming down with something. Felt bad all day with a headache that won't go away, and I never have headaches.

For my giving challenge today, I won a $50 GC to Expressions Paperie a few weeks ago, and my daughter in law loves that kind of thing almost as much as I do. So for part of the GC, I gave her the cards pictured below. She always has Christmas cards done, so I thought she would like these. Got this photo of the proof this morning and showed it to her. She loves it. Hope you do too.

The 30 day Giving Challenge - Day 1

Alyssa over at KingdomFirstMom.com says this about the 30 Day Giving Challenge.

"Grab a journal! Join this 30-Day Challenge to give every day during the month of November. You can give your time, talents, money, assets, or just do something nice for a neighbor. Write down every time God prompts you, for 30 days! Then write down every time something comes back to you.There will be a linky and updates throughout the month on my blog. Feel free to spread the word! Let's use the power of social media to inspire a movement of generosity.

I think this is a wonderful idea and acept the challenge. Today I baked a cake, and we gave half of it to my neighbor Jerry, who is alone and doesn't cook for himself. He is elderly and lives on cereal, soup, and anything he can microwave. I know this is small, but the small things are what this is all about to me. We can all make a difference in the lives of others, even if it's just one small act at a time.
Join the challenge HERE.
