New Sofa...and a Sweet Weekend

Good morning, Friends!  
Just a little (lolol) post about the happenings here in blogville.
My sister Ruth Ann (see earlier postings) is still doing well receiving her chemo treatments.  No sickness, thank God.  I believe she has nine more treatments to go before her check-up telling us if the cancer has been eradicated.  Still asking for prayer!
On to lighter blog fare...lol...even though this pan meal is anything but light.  But so easy to prepare and twice as easy to eat!  


Flat Pan Chicken and Veggies


Place your chicken down the middle of the buttered dish...arrange vegetables of your choosing, along the sides of the chicken, like you see in my photo above.
I chose new potatoes, zucchini and green beans and onions. 
Bake at 350 degrees F (176 C) for an hour, checking on it until you reach the right amount of color for you. (browning)



Lime cupcakes with strawberry frosting sprinkled with crystalized sugar.



I fried up some salmon patties for lunch along with a crunchy salad.



Did I tell you we're getting a new sofa and carpet?  The brown one in the photo was donated.  What a mess the room was and still is...Trying to find new door carpets that match the grey sofa and carpeting.



Larry being his usual smarty pants self while I'm trying to take pictures of things to show you...He has his earphones in trying to ignore what I'm doing.  And Libby (pug) isn't amused! lol


Sorry about Sleeping Beauty but here's the sofa and carpet.  It'll take forever to redecorate the room!  



We Love the two-sided remotes for the sofa!  The key feature for us is the lumbar button!  We both needed that feature...nice!


Also having a new electrical outlet installed.  The company we used started the job on Thursday morning.  The office got my work order wrong.  They said I ordered an outlet to be CHECKED on... I said I ordered a NEW outlet!  So much time wasted!  Poor service tech was running back and forth to his shop and our house and still isn't finished!  Coming back Monday...sigh


BUT!  On a happier note, our daughter Crystal came up from Magnolia Tx to babysit our sweet Sloane.  Being 2 1/2 hours away from their first grandchild is no fun!  We all hate it but they both have great jobs and can't pull up stakes to move back to Waco...so they travel back and forth...it is what it is, I suppose.  We all miss them terribly.  




Larry and I ate breakfast out on Thursday...biscuits and sausage gravy!  Delicious.


Well, that about wraps things up for me.  I hope you're enjoying a sweet and peaceful weekend.  Until next time,
