Mexican Cornbread Recipe, Pics & Rambling

For those who asked for it or are interested, I finally got MY RECIPE FOR MEXICAN CORNBREAD posted on MY RECIPE BLOG.

I hope everyone enjoys the recipe.Recently in an effort to keep Emmy occupied when she was beginning to get a little fractious, I showed her I could blow a bubble with my gum. She was fascinated with the whole bubble blowing process! Now anytime she sees me with gum in my mouth I'm supposed to blow bubbles for her, even if it's not bubble gum I'm chewing.

This picture was taken last Sunday after church was over. Emmy tries to "kiss" the bubbles or bite them as I blow them, and she thinks it's hilarious when I pop them, and the louder the pop the better, in her opinion. On Thursday I kept Emmy while Jessica went back to Little Rock for her post-surgery check up. Jessica's surgeon released her and Jessica only has to go back if/when she has more problems.

Praise God for answered prayers! I hope and pray that Jessica is pain-free for a long time after this surgery.

Thank You again to all of you who have joined us in praying for Jessica before, during and after her recent surgery. God is faithful. Amen.Jason is working again, praise the Lord! This has not been without some "issues", and JESSICA has written about it HERE first and then HERE much better than I can explain it.

He really likes his new job driving a forklift, and hopefully he'll be working there for a good long time.

Thank you for your prayers over Jason's job situation as well.I took this next series of pictures yesterday while Emmy was eating her dinner. I gave her a plate full of pinto beans and I guess you could say that Emmy REALLY enjoys her food. You might even say that she really gets "into" her food.

Sometimes she gets more ON her than IN her, but this little girl is a good eater, and I'm really thankful that she's not a picky eater.

I love these pictures! Notice the bean soup hand print on her forehead?And here's Emmy, post-dinner and all cleaned up!

Notice all the teeth in those last several pictures? Emmy's only 15½ months old and she already has almost all her teeth! Her eye teeth and stomach teeth are trying to come in now and they've been causing her a little grief now and then. She's run some fever and had some pain with them, and she's had some digestive issues, shall we say. We've gone through a lot of diapers, wipes and diaper rash ointment lately!The weather here is still unseasonably cool and we've gotten some much needed rain over the last several days. It's 86F right now and I think this is the hottest it's been in over a week. I'll still take 86F over 103F any old time!

As a matter of fact it's rumbling thunder right now and it looks like we're going to get a little thunderstorm. I like Summer thunderstorms if they don't get too severe.

Some of the forecasts have Tropical Storm Fay coming through our area over the next week. If so we may have more rain than we know what to do with!

Corn, milo and rice are getting close to being ready for harvest, and soybeans and cotton aren't far behind them. If we do get rains from Tropical Storm Fay I hope and pray that they don't destroy any of the crops or hinder the harvest.I have a couple of book reviews and a meme that I want to do sometime over the next week. I'll probably have some more aimless rambling as well.

Lord willing I'll be back Saturday evening with my Sunday Dinner post.

In the meantime, y'all have a great Friday and weekend.

God's richest blessings upon you all!
