My chick is leaving the nest

Today has been a GORGEOUS day!!! It has been sunny and breezy....perfect weather. We drove in the convertible and just took in the beautiful weather. We've been busy, busy, busy! Macy leaves tomorrow for Ouachita. I am sad she won't be here all the time but at the same time, I am so excited for her because I know she is going to love it and she's only an hour away....anytime she wants to come home or I want to go there, we'll just hop in the car and go. I asked Macy what she wanted me to cook for her last meal at home (for awhile anyway) and she chose poppyseed chicken (of course) and hashbrown casserole. You can't go wrong with lots of butter, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream!!! :)


Here we are...Mar cut up the chicken for the poppyseed while I made the hasbrown casserole. I have discovered in the last couple of years that cooking is not near as bad when you do it with someone you love. When Mar and I cook, it's almost always together.
And for dessert....the best cheesecake in the WORLD....Jello No Bake Cheesecake. Seriously, it doesn't get any better than this for cheesecake! I LOVE this stuff!!! Macy does, too! Macy is not a chocolate girl, which I still can't wrap my brain around....after all, she is MY daughter.

Our meal.....YUM!!! See those Sister Schubert rolls with loads of butter. Delicious!

I wanted to use our nice plates (instead of paper, like usual) and didn't realize until this picture that I forgot to use our glass cups. Macy has a Franke's cup...HA! :) Oh well, we all enjoyed our meal and ate it way too fast! Cooking literally wears me out more than a whole hour of zumba. I know that sounds bad but it's so true. I don't know if it just mentally wears me out or what but I'm always exhausted after cooking. Speaking of exercise, Mar and I went walking last night and got to see the most amazing sunset...it was deep pink and purple...just gorgeous!!!!
It's so hard to believe Macy is leaving tomorrow. I wonder when she'll come home again. She thinks it will be at least 2 weeks but I'm not so sure. We'll see. We're getting up bright and early in the morning, packing the car, and heading to her dorm to get all her stuff moved in. We lucked out because Macy is on the 1st floor and the 1st room after you walk in!!! How's that for a happy move in day?! :) Also, Macy's cousin and my niece, Abby, will be there. She is a junior at Ouachita and is helping all the freshmen move in tomorrow. She was also there with Macy when Macy was new to PA and made Macy feel so welcome then, too. I am so thankful for my family.
One more thing...I am co-leading our Bible study at Fellowship this year. I've never led or co-led a Bible study of adult women so it will be a good learning experience for me. I did lead a small group last year of 11th grade girls...that was lots of fun. Anyway, we're doing Beth Moore's Esther!!!! I absolutely love Beth Moore so I'm so excited!!!


Happy weekend!! :)

I know it's sad to see her go! We just moved my sister into her dorm this weekend too! It's going to be the best four years of her life though :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
