The Meal /Touch of Halloween/ Fall Colors

I saw this on FB yesterday.

I love the different size letters

on cute paper and framed.

ADORABLE.

Might have to work on that for

next Halloween!

Now to tell you about the meal.

I house sat for my brother Ray

and my sis in law Lori

from Thursday (last week)

till Wed. at 4 when I left cause

they were due in around 7.

I know that I can leave the dogs

alone that long. 

I headed to the house with Dakota Bug

and Lily Bit. 

We stayed home that evening and

than I headed about an hour

away to Fairview on 

Thursday (yesterday)

to stay with Caleb. 

Mom and BF left to go to 

NY for a Jets ballgame.

I was here to be sure that Caleb

made it to school today.

But anyway....I think I said before

that I do things for my Ray and Lori

when I am there. Last time I dusted the

house and mopped the hard wood floors.

This time I cooked them dinner

to have when they got in.

I cooked boneless, skinless chicken

breast in the cast iron skillet with 

garlic and Italian seasoning.

Once that was done I moved it to 

a casserole dish, laid out on some

Ragu sauce, sprinkled Italian seasoning 

over the chicken again.

Covered with Ragu and topped

with Mozzarella cheese. 

Baked till the cheese was melted.

Canned corn with fresh red bell pepper

from brothers garden cut up in it.

Green beans with small taters and ham

in them, cooked down to get the flavor in 

them.

Got text from Lori, Ray and then my nephew 

who stopped in for a visit with them to let

me know they loved the meal. 

Then I baked cookies.

Been forever since I baked homemade

from scratch cookies. I usually do the 

slice and bake kind.

These were yummy. I put choc chips

in there but I also put some peanut butter

chips in them also. 

Yep...yummy. 

Left these for my brother but since

he is trying to watch what he eats so I 

brought 1/2 of them to my house. 

When I pulled up at the house and took 

the animals in I went back to 

unload stuff when my younger brother

Mark came up to cut my yard and 

cut up all the leaves.

Knowing I really did not need those

cookies and knowing how well

he likes them....

I gave him my 1/2.

The leaves here have been turning

lighter for a while now.

Lots of yellows and browns.

Not a lot of red, orange or burnt

orange. 

UNTIL

yesterday, I noticed that the 

colors are starting to come out

some.

The corner of my street.

Loving the yellow with the sun

coming through. 

Chilling at my daughters apartment 

right now. Thinking of heading to the 

park down the road a bit to do 

some photography...hoping

for some pretty tree color. 

Dakota is at mom's and Lily

is sleeping. Thinking of taking her

with me....hate leaving her in a home

she don't know.

Thanks for stopping in,
