It's rather exciting to meet a celebrity...

It's not Wednesday so I guess I have to use words.....

Today, I'll share a recipe.... for one grinning husband....


start with some yummy peppers, onions, garlic and spices





















then tomatoes...crushed and diced... (and of course more seasonings....chili must have KICK)




















three kinds of beans.....



YUP! Veggie Chili!





Simmer it for what can seem like an eternity when the house smells this delicious...
don't forget to make cornbread....




















and voila! one grinning husband!

This is Priceless.

Happy Christmas Season Y'all!!
Ok this cracked me up and blogger is having kittens about me embedding it...so I'm sorry....but go check it out

OOH!!

Yep. God is SO good! yet another terrific round of verses on my calendars today:

Open up before God, keep nothing back; he'll do whatever needs to be done: He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon. Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him Psalm 37:5-7 Message Version

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 NIV

Mmmm now that is beyond Chicken Soup for the Soul...I dare call that cheesecake for the soul!!!!

and now for your amusement....
a conversation that took place between Daddy and Eye this morning:

Eye: Can you write me a note and get me out of work today? I wanna go home and play!
Daddy: for both of us...
Eye: ok! I'll write one for you and you write one for me!
Eye: Mr. [DAD's BOSS] Sir, Please allow my daddy to stay home from work today as he is in desperate need of play time. Sincerely, Lil' Miss Jami Leigh.
Daddy: Mr. Boss Man, Please allow my Pumkin to stay home and have a Play Day... She needs one desperately bad. Sincerely, The Father
Daddy: Think it will work?
Eye: I hope so!!

Have I mentioned that I love my daddy?
And I get to see him this weekend!! (and anyone else that feels like venturing toward that little village where my homestead is....)
OH! and PRAY - new realtor checking out the house Saturday at 10:30 a.m......Pray that I have wisdom and discernment about whether I should sign with them, and wisdom about pricing and all of those things that go along with it.
Thank you!
and May God Bless Your Socks Off Today!!!!
