Could it get any better?

My hubby just had his birthday last week and mine is today.... I found this picture from last year and as I looked at it....the look in his eyes, he is trying to fight tears...just touches me to the core and makes me love him even more if that is possible. This big teddy bear of a man who is such a softie, and I have been blessed to been married to him almost 30 years....

I dont really look foward to my birthday, its just a reminder that time just keeps moving foward..whether we like it or not...but when you have grandkids, you just want to live forever...and birthdays are a reminder that time marches on....

All morning I have been teary eyed in a joyful way...thinking about all I have been blessed with...seeing friends on fb wishing me Happy Birthday....friends I have known all my life...and friends taking time out of thier day to call me...and hearing my grand daughter on the phone first thing in the morning...calls from Seattle...I have been blessed with an abundance of friends and family that are so dear to me and as I think on it today, I cant help but cry!!!!

At this time in my life.....I can honestly say its the best time in my life (aside from a few aches and pains, and a few extra pounds lol) and Im so grateful!!!!

OK..SO I made another recipe from Pinterest...Santa Fe Chicken in the crockpot...success, hubby LOVED it and so easy! you can put it over rice or salad, or just eat it out of a bowl like he did!!! WHAT did I do without pinterest?????

Have a great day peeps...I know I will!!!!!

Holy cow...heart attack city!!!!

OMG my blog disappeared, I thought it was gone! then all of a sudden it was back!!!! talk about hysteria...5 years of blogging!!!!!!!

all my history for 5 years was gone!!!! NOW I thinking about those sites that make your blog into a book so if it ever happens again I wont have as much as a heart attack anyways! Has anyone out there done it and what site did you use?

Cut up and brown some chicken breasts, I used 4....dredge in flour and brown in olive oil..

Mix up 4 tbp. of brown sugar...3 tbp. of ketchup...6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 tsp balsamic vinager, and a dash of salt....

throw the chicken in a crock pot and pour the sauce over it, cook for 2-3 hours on high or 5-6 on low....serve over rice....so easy, so good!
