Happenings

It's a nice sunny day outside and I realized that many people haven't seen all of the hard work Justin and my dad did last fall. The fence is up and beautiful. It makes a world of a difference when it comes to keeping the dogs from barking and privacy. I love it.

The dogs enjoying the nice day. I'm glad in this picture Roz is pulling on the frisbee and not Ripken's neck. The poor boy. He gets bullied all of the time.

This is Justin's newest baby- his truck. Well, it's not new, but it is to us. We like it and even more so now that it got a clean bill of health at the last mechanic check-up. I like it even better knowing what we paid for it and the fact that we've already had people offer to buy it from us for more than we paid. It's a nice truck. And it does, believe it or not, fit in the gaurage- barely. I don't think I'm brave enough to try it, I'll leave that to Justin.

It was purchased with Justin's new mowing business in mind. Yes, Justin is starting a mowing business. If any of you know of someone in Lebanon or the surrounding area that is need lawn care service, please let us know!!!

My bookcase!!!! Justin is finally getting around to finishing my bookcase that he and his dad started for me last September!!! Today he is staining all of the pieces. Hopefully it will be put together in the next couple weeks! Yeah!!!

Chicken salsa crockpot meal

I've made this for a few people, including our Bible study last week, and have received a lot of inquiries for the recipe. This really is the easiest thing in the world to make. It only has 4 ingredients.

Chicken salsa crockpot dish

boneless, skinless, chicken (frozen is fine) (usually about 3 breasts will feed 4 people easily)
1 can corn, drained
1 can seasoned black beans, drained
1 medium sized jar of salsa

Mix aprox 1-2 cups of salsa, corn, and beans in bottom of crock pot. Add Chicken. Pour remaining salsa on top of chicken (enough to cover). Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Stiring a couple times to tear up chicken and mix corn and beans.

I like to top it with sour cream, cheese, and torn up tortilla pieces before eating. Very good dish that goes a long way. Enjoy!
