A Good Day, Indeed

It's been a good day, indeed.  It started off by having waffles and eggs for breakfast.  I'm a waffle kinda girl, through and through.  I love the crispy outside with the soft insides and all those little holes to hold the butter and syrup.  Then to top off the deliciousness of it, I added my over-easy fried egg which has a special seasoning on it that is home made by a lady that lives here in the valley.  I'm not sure but I think she calls it barbed wire seasoning.  Whatever it is, it's good stuff.

After eating breakfast and playing on the computer for a bit, it was time for a spiritual feast.  It's a privilege to get to watch all sessions of General Conference on television.  We watched two sessions today and we'll get to watch two more sessions tomorrow.  All sessions start at 10am and 2pm with each one lasting two hours.  Kind of puts you on a spiritual high, and that's a good thing. 

When the day was all said and done, the Lord left us with a promise!  Ah-h-h-h, like I said, it's been a good day!

Famous Artist

Oh yeah.....yesterday morning had a eeriness of beauty about it.  Looking out our dining room window I could see that the valley was banked in with white, low lying clouds and yet the clouds higher up were much darker, tinted all yellow and orange.  I wonder who the artist was that thought this one up?  Must be someone pretty famous, would be my guess!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

I made these delicious Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies this past weekend and here it is, five days later and the few we have left are still moist and great eating.  I love a good Oatmeal Cookie and if you like that kind of cookie, I would suggest going to the following blog and getting the recipe for yourself...........you won't be disappointed, I promise.  The recipe states to cook them for 10-12 minutes but I only cooked mine for 9.5 minutes and they turned out great.  I used my large cookie scoop, which holds approximately 1 1/2 TB of cookie dough and it made 4 dozen + 9 cookies.  Enjoy!

Turning Over A New Leaf

After the past few days and the next few days that are predicted to come, I'm ready to turn over a new leaf, literally.  I'm ready to trade out the old, brown leaves for some new pretty green leaves.  The leaves pictured here are just along the side of our driveway, just waiting to give way to the green.

I am so not a winter person.  It has it's moments, rare moments, that I get excited about but nothing compared to Spring and warmer temperatures.  Although, I do love a good fall with the onset of the holiday season.  Contradicting myself, huh.  But really, I am ready to see a little green.
