Pictures

 It's been so long since I've made a post that a lot of things have changed with the way that you make a post on here.  I was going to make a post to add pictures to it but now it is saying that I have to allow google or blogger to have access to the cookies on my computer.  I'm not sure about that.  Has anyone had any issues with that?

Summer, Fall and updates

 It's August already!  This Summer is going by very fast.  West Virginia is currently in a drought.  I suppose our yard gets enough dew in the morning because so far our grass is still green.  It's been so hot outside that you could almost bake a cake in the garage.  I'm not even sure if we had a swimming pool if we would even go in it because of the humidity.  As I'm writing this it is 10 a.m.  It is already 72 outside with 91% humidity.  

I'm ready for Fall!  I don't think we will have a beautiful fall this year because many of the trees in my area have already turned red.  Some have already fallen off.  I was really hoping for a beautiful Fall this year.  I have been wanting to go back to Canaan Valley in the Fall to see all of the beautiful colors.  If we go it will just be a day trip.  I miss going there.  It's been several years since we have vacationed there.  Mostly because the prices got way too high on the vacation homes we were staying at.  It is cheaper to stay in a house at the beach....  We went to the Outer Banks this year for our vacation.  Stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom home next to the sound.  We had a wonderful time.  

A lot has happened since I last posted!  I'm officially a Granny, Gramma, Grammy, Gran.  My beautiful young lady and handsome son in love welcomed a handsome blue eyed baby boy with lots of hair a few months ago.  I am absolutely in love with him!  I would see him every day if I could!  

My young man is now in college!  He completed his first year and is getting ready to start his second soon.  He made the National Honor Society with his grades.

I just spent the last 20 minutes looking for my recipe for chili.  I realized that I haven't put it online anywhere for me to be able to find it like I have most of my other favorite recipes.  I'm taking care of business and doing it now!  lol  Hope everyone enjoys this recipe as much as my family and I do.
