Mmmmm!

Green Chile Hash Brown casserole

~I got up 1/2 hour earlier than usual. We got groceries at Walmart & Smith's.

~I helped Anne & Kristen with the Breakfast fundraiser. The casserole was a hit, with several people requesting the recipe. I served as Acolyte # 2 & Lay Reader. I helped with Coffee Hour cleanup.

~I worked on scrap squares.

~When Mike got off work, we went down to Caliber's to pick up my XDM, which had been left on Thursday, to have night sights installed. Glad to have it back!

~I made Mike a bacon cheeseburger wrap for supper.

~We watched Shrek: Forever After. It was okay.

Good Crackers!!

These crackers are AWESOME with Jif Super Chunky peanut butter. They are hearty enough to keep you full for quite a while. I will make 5 "sandwiches" & take them with me for "emergency" food.

~I made a Green Chile hash brown casserole for the Breakfast fundraiser tomorrow at the church. I also vacuumed the rugs & dusted the furniture.

~I finished a Garland of Blossoms scarf in Patina/Multicolor. I also put a Dark rose flower pin on the Mardi Gras scarf. I unintentionally made a "Bonnet", by making the first round of a Roseburg Hat with 12 stitches instead of 10. It is pouffier on top, but just as cute. Oh, in Country Rose with a big faux pearl button. I spent the rest of the afternoon doing scrap stuff.

~I made Mike a chicken bacon cheese wrap for supper.

2 Million

Often, the gun is never fired. Just showing the bad guy you have a weapon may be enough to deter a crime(but it is essential you have the proper training to use the weapon, if needed). Criminals are cowards and will choose the victim who looks, most likely, not to fight back (example: the students in the last CCW Draw Class: the very small, thin man, the lady-just because she's a female-, the older gentleman, the larger man with bad knees, etc.)

~I made S'more Brownies using this recipe. So much easier than the way I used to do it! I also made a batch of bacon, sorted veggies, did two loads of laundry & swept the floors. All before 10am!!

~I stopped by the church to pick up a food bag, mailing off 4 newsletters that weren't picked up on Wednesday. After delivering the bag, I went to Goodwill(a skirt, cropped cargo pants & long sleeve shirt), Family Thrift Center (nothing) & got a few groceries at Albertson's.

~I made a Buttonhole Scarf in unknown retro Mardi Gras green. I will be adding a flower pin.

~We had grilled cheesy hotdog wraps for supper.

~We watched "The Mechanic". It was a little too bloody & intense for me, but Jason is easy on the eyes ;)

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4


~CCW Draw Class Day 2: As always, huge improvement in the students with the draw technique. Mainly, need to go slower to make hits. I was used as an example on Failure Drill.

~Date Nite: Timed drills for Controlled pair, Failure Drill & Reload. Got a new best time at the 3yd line Controlled Pair. Previously 1.47, now 1.45! I did not do well with reloading, will need to practice with the XDM. All in all, fun weekend!

Hats Sold!!

Roseburg Hat in Navy/Dark Red sold to Joan in MO

Roseburg Hat in Venetian Rose/Black sold to Tim in IN

~We went up to the office so Mike could do some work on the lap top computer. I set up the coffee for after mass.

~We stopped off at Walmart before heading down to the range to help with CCW Draw Class. Six men, one lady. It was a smaller class than usual, but it gave each student more one-on-one attention. We were very tired at the end of the day.
