We Are Family!

The last few days and today have been so much fun. And if I wrote about it all in detail—I would definitely have carpal syndrome by the time I finished writing it and most likely your eyes would hurt.

So tonight, as I am starting to write this I am tapping my feet to the beat and dancing in my chair, as I'm listening to Sister Sledge sing one of their greatest songs We Are Family. And you can click here to hear it and watch it on Youtube.

Tony, Kinky, Dylan and I really enjoyed Jim Keaveny's visit, before he headed back to Terlingua. But Henry Standing Bear loved his visit more than all of us put together. Seriously, he would not leave Jim alone. It was like Jim had mesmerized him.

And you can check out our musician/singer/songwriter friend at: Jim Keaveny.com or his Facebook page.

While Jim was staying with us he gave us a private concert of all of the new songs that he has written and every song was awesome. "So thank you, Jim! We love your music!"

While Jim was here, I decided to try a new recipe that I had found, in the Kerrville Daily Times, called BBQ Chicken Cornbread Bake and it was absolutely delicious and very easy to make. And here's the recipe in case you want to try cooking Cousin Nancy's BBQ Chicken Cornbread Bake Recipe.

This recipe was so delicious, that we had to put Henry Standing Bear outside while we ate, because he would not quit trying to make Jim pet him. And after dinner all of us sat down and watched the hilarious movie Paul. And Jim laughed as much as we did while watching it. And please note that the language is for adults only.

I tried to check my e-mail regularly while Jim visited us and my dear friend Mari sent me the cutest picture of a VW dresser which I totally love. 

And my friends Phil and Virginia, in New Mexico mailed me this funny cartoon along with their Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch donation. "Thank y'all!" 

This afternoon I was on the phone talking to our dear friend Sue and during our hilarious conversation she told me that I had to get this super cool Star Guide App for my iPad. She told me that is the best out their for stargazing. 

Sue raved about how much she loves this 5 star rated App. She told me that it will give you alerts when the Space Station is passing over you, it has a ton of information including an infra-red option that you can switch on to see the stars and constellations better and during the day you can point it to the sky and it will tell you what stars are there even though we can't see them.

So after our fun conversation I immediately went to Apple's App Store and bought the $2.99 Star Guide App, because when it gets dark outside tonight, Tony and I are going outside and try it out. And that's about it for tonight, except I want you to see this cute picture I took of Henry and Little Debbie cuddling together with Big Al(ice), Belle and Roy sleeping, in front of the chair.

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!

Paul!

Today has been great. This morning after I did paperwork, returned e-mails and phone calls I started cooking our lunch.

The other day I found this delicious-looking recipe, inside the March issue of the H-E-B TexasLife recipes and fresh ideas. So I wrote down all of the ingredients needed to make their Mushroom And Sweet Onion Tart and then I purchased them.

Like I always do when I try a new recipe I made a few changes. Basically, all I did was add some chicken breast strips and spinach.

And when it was finished baking I removed it from the oven and this is what  mine looked like.

And to say the least, Tony loved it and so did I.

After I cleaned up the kitchen all of our dogs, except for Henry Standing Bear, were sleeping either in the kitchen or the big room. So I went looking for Henry and I found him sleeping, underneath our bed and how he got himself under there is beyond me. Then I went and grabbed my camera in hopes not to wake him up.

Henry stayed under our bed and slept for over an hour and I bet he would have slept there longer if Little Debbie and Alice hadn't started barking at a squirrel outside.

And that is about it for tonight, because I plan to do some more writing on my third novella and then I'm going to re-watch Paul one of my new favorite movies that was made in 2011. Paul is a funny, quirky, adult movie, only because of some of the adult language, which of course did not bother me at all.

Anyway, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost wrote it and they also star in it along with Sigourney Weaver and Blythe Danner. In this funny, sci-fi, action-packed, comedy, insane adventure, Paul, the cute alien, is voiced by Seth Rogen. It's a comedy about two British comic-book geeks traveling across the U.S., in a motor home and they encounter and try to help Paul, an escaped alien, outside Area 51. So click on Paul if you would like to watch the trailer. 

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!
