Good morning, friends!
I can't believe we are going in to week four of the month already! Where is the time going so quickly? The only bright spot is that we are moving closer to fall. I am sooo ready for the cooler temperatures.

Good morning, everyone.
I wanted to pop in here and post the recipe for today's video. Once the video is available in the morning, I'll link it here for all the details, tips.
Because the following products are on special this month, I used them to make my homemade burritos.
I used 1 serving give on each of the can directions. This was enough to make 4 Large tortilla burritos
Pulled Pork - 1 C of pork to 1/2 C of hot water. Stir every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes.
Instant Refried Beans - 1-1/3 C refried beans to 1-1/3 C of water... Simmer 4-6 min on low.
Tomato Dices - 1 C. tomato dices to 1/3 C. of water. Stir to moisten
Cheddar Cheese - 1 C. cheddar cheese to 3-1/2 Tablespoons water. Mix then refrigerate 35 minutes.
Now, for the Thrive Life news.
Thrive Live will be closing their doors Augusts 31, 2025.
This news saddens me. They are a great company, providing a much-needed service. We can all afford a freeze-dryer but they made it possible for the consumer to stock their pantry with quality products.
I had to miss the meeting as HoneyB had a vet appointment so I don't have all the details yet, but since hearing the news, I've assessed my pantry and placed an order to fill in gaps for WHAT WE EAT on a regular basis.
If I can help you navigate what you might need in your pantry, please reach out.

Good morning, everyone!
Well, I knew last week would be busy and it was. I'll update you about Honey B at the end of this post.
Let's talk about the rooms we'll be working on this week.
Good morning!
Welcome to Week 2 on the cleaning agenda.
Good morning, everyone!
I was so intent on setting up blog posts on my author account for the month of July yesterday I totally forgot to post here.
I leave Thursday for a quick weekend trip to IL to see a dear friend so I've been trying to get a jump on July. That, and I'll be spending most of July in a Fast Draft Challenge to finish Book 2 in my Planned to Perfection Series. You'll find Book 1 HERE if you're in the mood for a Christmas read.
Hi everyone!
Sorry I didn't get this post up yesterday.
I missed last week because I was at a writer's retreat/ conference for six days. There wasn't a cleaning schedule. Bob was left to just pick up after himself. He does a really good job.
I got home a week ago today. On Wednesday I started getting my travel laundry done up and popped a couple of ribs (an old injury) while reaching into the bottom of the washing machine. I managed to wedge the edge of the machine between two previously injured ribs (between 3 & 4 on the right side).
I heard them POP! I've been baying the issue ever since with pain meds, ice packs and lots of reclining against the pillows to keep the two ribs from locking up.
As I said this has been a recurring injury. Once you break something, it always becomes an issue. I'm easing myself back into things but no bending/ lifting or any cleaning really. I put what dishes away that don't require reaching into lower cabinets and I'm cooking. Bob's been doing everything else. This will be my life for another two to three weeks, which really bums me out. I was planning a short trip to IL next week to meet up with a dear friend I've not seen in twenty years. Not sure when she'll make the trip from her home in CO back to IL.
I'll be back once I'm at least able to sit for periods of time and encourage you.
Be safe Be prepared Be Blessed

Good afternoon, friends!
I'm still on a deep cleaning around here and trying to get stuff put in some semblance of order in the office.
But it's also Week 1 of the cleaning process for the rest of the house.
