Sunday Dinner, July 26, 2009

I've had Emmy Thursday, Friday and today, and Diane is a TARD girl tonight, so I imagine you can guess what I'm about to say.

For the third Sunday in a row, if my figuring is right, I'm not cooking Sunday Dinner. I kept Emmy from about 8:15 am till almost 7 pm today and there were lots of potty training efforts (no accidents at all today, Yay!) splashing in her wading pool followed by a quick bath and shampoo in the kitchen sink, snacks and meals and much more that filled our day.

As you can imagine, I'm not up to cooking supper tonight and also preparing for Sunday Dinner, so we'll be eating out somewhere tomorrow. No idea where and at this point I don't even really care, as long as I'm not the one cooking it. Supper tonight was fried eggs and sausage and Emmy ate her share.

If you'd like to share your Sunday Dinner menu/plans, just leave them in the comments.Adding to our eventful day, as Jason was on his way here to get Emmy, his car quit on him. Apparently the transmission went out on it and it's setting on the side of the road for the night. My niece was kind enough to go get Jason and then bring him by to pick up Emmy and take them home.

Tomorrow will be a busy day for Jason as he makes arrangements to get his car off the side of the road and get it worked on, hopefully before he has to be at work on Monday morning. However, if it's the transmission as we suspect, it's highly unlikely that there's any chance that it can be fixed before Monday morning.

It's probably going to be expensive and take several days to repair and get it back in running order, which leaves Jessica and Jason without a vehicle and needing a way to and from work for both of them.

Your prayers would be greatly appreciated for Jessica and Jason as they deal with this new crisis.

If it's not one thing it's another, it seems.My last post is a 10 THINGS MEME that I made up due to lack of blogging inspiration. If you're interested in reading it or doing the meme for your own post, have at it. I'd love to read your version of the meme so if you do this one, please let me know by comment or email.

As people let me know they've done the meme, I've been adding their links to the bottom of the meme post so we can all participate and read each other's answers.I posted some new recipes on MY RECIPE BLOG this week if anyone is interested. They're all holiday recipes from our family Christmases, but they can be enjoyed any time of year, of course.

This recipe for BLACK CHERRY JELLO COMPOTE makes a great Summer salad or light dessert, and MAMA'S BLACKBERRY JAM CAKE and ITALIAN CREAM CAKE are fabulous anytime, not just for the holidays.

If you missed this recipe for CORN SALAD last week you might want to check it out.I still have to study my Sunday School lesson and shell a mess of purple hull peas, and I'm in great need of some hot shower therapy, so I'm going to make this shorter than usual tonight. I trust you're all having a wonderful weekend thus far.

May God richly bless you and meet all your needs, and may you have enough to share is my prayer and my wish for each and every one of you, dear friends and family.
