Sunday Dinner, October 21, 2007 & Emmy Pics

****Due to Blogger's problems with uploading photos,
this post won't have my Sunday Dinner button, page
dividers or the pictures of Emmy I took today and wanted
to share. If Blogger technicians get the problem fixed
in a reasonable amount of time I'll come back later
and add my pictures to this post.

Boy, it looks bare without pictures, doesn't it?****

Another Autumn week has flown by and it's time for my Sunday Dinner post again. Can you believe it?

So here's the deal: I have a whole chicken thawed and ready to cook but I'm not sure exactly what I want to do to it. I also have a box of Rice*A*Roni and a couple of cans of green beans setting on the counter. I'm also not sure what the sisters have planned for Sunday Dinner.

Here's what I'm going to do: Nothing.

I'm going to wait until after church tomorrow and see what the sisters want to do regarding our Sunday Dinner. If they want to go out and eat somewhere that will be totally hunky as well as quite dory with me. If not, I'll decide how I want to cook the clucker when we get back here and it can be cooking while I'm preparing the rice and green beans. If I don't cook the chicken for Sunday Dinner I can always fix it for Monday's supper.

Now, what are your plans for Sunday Dinner? Just share your menu or plans in the comments if you want to participate this week.

Lamar is on his way home right now on Amtrak and should be here around 3 am if the train is on time. I think he's ready to get home, and I know I'm ready for him to BE home.

I kept Emmy this afternoon while Jessica and Jason worked on the house they're going to move into and ran some errands. Miss Emmy is feeling better but still not quite her usual sunny self. It has a lot to do with her runny nose and congestion. It's next to impossible to nurse her bottle when she can't breathe through her nose, bless her heart. Thankfully it's better sometimes so she can actually breathe and eat. She's coughing too, and we're hoping that will help her clear all that junk out of her lungs and head.

Most of the time she was here she was in a good mood so I took a lot of pictures. I wanted to post some of them but Blogger is being a booger and won't let me upload pictures all of a sudden. I didn't have any problem uploading several pictures on my last post on Friday evening. Lately I've read on several of your blogs that some of you haven't been able to upload pictures but this is the first time I've gotten an error message when I tried to add pictures to this post. Hopefully Blogger will get this issue resolved soon.

I know some people don't add any pictures at all to their posts and that's fine. Whatever floats your boat and all that. But personally I like pictures and think they add visual interest to a post. I miss not being able to upload pictures to my blog.

I have some more news regarding Miss Emmy. She finally has a tooth! Her lower right front tooth finally came through the gums, and let me tell you brother, she knows how to use it!

She's also rolling from front to back and back to front. This girl is rolling like a gator! Gone are the days of leaving her somewhere and coming back to find her in the same place. Those days are far behind us now. She's getting up on all fours and rocking some but not quite getting the hang of how to maneuver to crawl just yet. It won't be long, though, then look out!

I made a big pot of homemade chili and a cast iron skillet of homemade cornbread for supper. Jessica and Jason helped me eat it and we washed it down with sweet iced tea. I have enough chili left to freeze for another meal for me and Lamar and the leftover cornbread will go into the freezer to use when I make chicken and dressing again.

And with that I'm going to (hopefully!) publish this post and study my Sunday School lesson then hit the hay before too awful late.

I pray God's richest blessings on each of you, dear friends and family. May God meet all your needs and may you have enough to share.

Love and hugs,

Diane
