Weekend Get Away

We house sat for my parents this weekend. Which meant we got to lay by the pool and feed the dogs. We slept in Saturday morning and didn't even make it down there until 1:30. Kev forgot his swim trunks, so we had to stop by Old Navy and pick up a pair. We thought about trying to get to the lake, but decided not to since my brother had a boat full already.

I spent the afternoon floating on a raft in the pool, while Kev napped inside. We went to an early dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It was yummy and we got to sit at a table right on the lake. There were lots of ducks and geese wanting food. They had feeding dispensers set up along the rail. There were a couple if babies. They were adorable. 
Sunday, we got up, ate breakfast, and packed the ice chest. It was pretty cloudy but it was nice and cool outside. After the 100 degree temperatures last week clouds and cool air felt wonderful.
We spent the day on Lake Ouachita. My brother went out with us for a couple of hours, then we had the rest of the afternoon to ourselves. I squeezed in a little nap There's nothing like floating on the lake. 
I was nice to get away and enjoy the lake.

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Garage, Some Wires, and a Bunny

I guess I decided it was time to tackle this garage and all of Kev's materials. I still had his tool box to clean out and all his tools. Before During After Still lots of gutter material and junk, but at least it's organized and easy to find. This is what the cords under the TV looked like! Talk about make you crazy. I pout Cody to work get them organized and bond together. I guess I didn't upload the after picture. Indy found a foot to some bird. Too large for chicken, maybe a turkey. I remember rescuing this baby rabbit. I think I found it in the garage. I saved it from the dogs.
