Youngest son is home & eats for "3". He also has to run down to college this weekend & needs to take some meals, so I made this - Cheddar Macaroni Beef Casserole to feed him & have left overs. The recipe is at my blog http://goodcooking-semperfi.blogspot.com/

Ladies from WOM group at church. We are getting ready for the third annual School Outreach. We collect school supplies at church through donations & then we get the school supply list & bag up the supplies by grades. Then this coming Saturday we will pass out free school supplies to families that come by the church. It is a lot of fun & a way to help out our community.
In this picture we are bagging up the supplies by grade.

The rest of my gifts from my son's mission trip. The rock is from a concentration camp for Russian Jews that my son visited. He carved the Star of David on it, so we wouldn't forget where it came from or the people who died there. The angel & thimble are from Germany & the turtle from Cocoa Beach, Florida where he spent a couple of days the end of his trip.
This is becoming my international shelf in my curio. The nesting dolls & bell are from Russia, the conch shell & cup are from Haiti the music box by the shell is from Switzerland & the angel from Germany. All acquired while on mission trips by someone in my family.
Well, I guess that is my week. Next week will be special as I'm seeing my little sister. Last time I saw her was 10 years ago when she was pregnant with my nephew Gavin. Last time my husband saw her was at our wedding almost 24 years ago. It will be the first time any of us will meet my nephew. Also attending a family reunion of the descendants of my great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Going to be a great time.
I love the shot of the buck!!! so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a GREAT time seeing your family!!!
Loved your shot this week. That casserole looked yummy and i will head over to your recipe blog and snag that recipe. I get excited with each new recipe you post. You have some great ones.
ReplyDeleteI love that mug! I don't know why, but it's really caught my fancy...
ReplyDeleteAnd your deer cam is so much fun. Is it available to watch or is it just for you guys?
The deer cam is not hooked up to the internet. Once a week we go out to our farm (2 miles from our home), fill the deer feeder & change out the sd card. The camera is for us to see how many deer are coming onto our place, size, sex, & also for trespassers since is it hidden. We it gets within certain times of hunting season, we stop filling the feeder, or we can keep it filled but hunt on the other side of the farm away from the feeder. We can get up to 300 pictures a week from one deer cam & we have two set up right now.
DeleteLoved seeing all your souvenirs from other countries! That blanket looks especially cozy. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have an exciting week planned. Enjoy it!!
How fun to receive lots of gifts from the son :)
ReplyDeleteHope your reunion turns out to be FANTABULOUS! :)
