Sunday - Sunday

Well it's Sunday already here in the hot southwest. Judy and Jim are still working on the rental house, getting it ready to re-rent again. They have put so much sweat equity into it these last couple days and are going over again this morning to finish up the things they have to do before the carpet cleaners and handy man come on Monday to finish up everything on their list. I helped on Friday clean and then yesterday I stayed home to meet Charlie and get my laptop back that her husband Carl had fixed. He really is a miracle worker with computers.. Mine is working like a charm now. She brought her little one, Zoey with her and she is such a sweetheart, busy and inquisitive. . . always on the go, but I did get lots of snuggles from her, near the end of the visit.

I had ordered metal modular 12x12 paper racks and they came on Friday, so I spent some time in the afternoon assembling them and stocking them.. I thought the first one was really easy to assemble and when I got it loaded with paper, I realized why it had been so easy.. I hadn't put the back braces in place and the loaded rack started to move like a slinky.. So I quickly had to unload it and take it apart and re-do it, but I finally got both completed and loaded and now my cardstock is all organized and I can see what I have. I will make it so much easier to work on projects, since I can readily see what colors of paper I have and not have to sort through each time a need a certain color.

I wanted to fix a good dinner for Judy and Jim since they had been working so hard all day. So I put green chili starter and chicken breasts in the crock pot. I shredded the chicken and served it over jasmine rice, along with tomatoes and corn. I fixed a fruit salad with poppy seed dressing and we had great cookies for dessert. Since Jason is batching it while Jamie and the kids are at her folks in Ohio, I invited him over for dinner too.
After dinner we watched "National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets".. I love that movie.. It was a fun evening.

I'm glad your laptop is working well. I will tell Carl. Zoey had a great visit - you wore her out! Who wouldn't love all the attention and snuggles? On the way home she fought off sleep as hard as she could. I glanced back there a couple of times to see her eyes half-closed and her little snack trap hanging off the side of the car seat. She didn't fall asleep until we were about five minutes from home though - typical!

I want your recipe for the green chile chicken. Sounds yummy!
