Where Have You Been?

Chicken and dumplings starter and our Samantha heading off to work...

Well?? Where have I been...Well, I just don't have a good answer for that. It's been super busy lately around here. We've gone visiting...had the grandkids for stayovers,
cooking...cleaning...TRYING to clean stuff out of my house to get more organized (not as easy as it looks...), Dr visits, end of our work year at the shop, reports to get done, Insurance audit to get ready for, buying a new work van for the shop...buying two new computers for here at home that came loaded with Windows 8.1.....and trying to learn said system.....which I HATE.....on and on and on...Fall is NOT a fun time around here.  Just thought I'd best let you all know I'm still alive and kicking.
It's a chicken & dumpling Sunday of which sounds good to everyone around here.  It's now on the stove boiling away.  I'm making extra stock to put in the freezer with this chicken...that's the reason for the bigger pot.  
So...guess I'll head off to visit all of you...Hope you have a super Blessed week!!
