Finally, the heat wave broke!!!! It's raining today and much much cooler... I even have my sweats and socks on!!! 

The heat wave ended in a flurry of dust and wind... I mean BIG WIND. We could hardly see across the street when the wind began. I was really concerned about a tornado happening!!! Thank God none occured. Things flew off of our deck, and the hubby had to go catch some of it as it rolled down our driveway. We had gusts up to 70 mph, while a few miles away, there was a gust recorded as high as 98 mph!!! My goodness!!! I am relieved for the break in the heat. It's been really hard to get out and do some yard work, or work in the garden.

College classes begin again next week, with a meeting on the 23rd for the Dietetic Tech program. Then full classes begin on the 27th. I'm taking a big breath and going full force this term and the spring term. Looking forward to learning what I need to learn, and then find a job as a Dietetic Tech!!!

Today I am thinking about having a good chicken dinner..... found a great recipe online that include Dejon Mustard, Maple Syrup and chicken baked in the oven.... the picture was scrumptious looking. My guys will get experimented on, again, tonight for dinner. Now, to think of something to cook with the chicken. There are still some zucchini in the fridge and some yellow cukes....also some Walla Walla onions that need to be used. Good start, huh?  I'll share the recipe next post, if it turns out to be good. :)

My fall redecorating is almost done. I've been decluttering as I have been dusting, taking things down and rearranging. TOOOOO many things!! Since cleaning out my Mom's apt, after her passing away, getting rid of things has become a priority of mine. I don't want to leave my family with all the stuff like my Mom had.

Tomorrow will be one month since Mama passed. The last few days have been pretty emotional for me. In my redecorating, I have changed the guestrooms look, by laying her pretty turquoise/blue/aqua quilt on the day bed. I made this quilt for her several years ago. She LOVED it. It is still in great shape, so I washed it and put it on the day bed as the cover quilt. Looks really pretty! If I ever learn how to add pictures on this blog, I'll add one of the guestroom, and the rest of my redecorating.... LOVE the fall colored quilts, wall decorations, pictures and nic nacs... Cheerful, though!

Ok, it's time for me to get off of the computer, get busy doing other things around my house. I still have to go to the store for some chicken to baked for dinner.....

Take care, Dear Reader, (if there are any readers). Life is so darn short. Tell those you love just how much you love them, and how much they mean to you. You will never regret saying those caring words to them. You can regret not saying them, if they are gone before you say it.

Leave a comment if you would like to, Dear Reader. I would love to read about you and your thoughts.
