The Goblins are Coming!!!

Halloween is rapidly approaching!  I love the creepy decorations that I have seen around our neighborhood!  My son saw the Wicked Witch of the West with the house that had fallen on her.  She was still wearing those ruby slippers! It's time for me to start thinking about those scary pumpkin faces that we will have around the house!

Here are a few ghosty things I have created to inspire you for this creepy season!!!!

Love This Cooler Weather!

The past several days here in Texas have been so refreshing!  This cool autumn weather is such a nice change.  I've decided to get out those wonderful recipes for the fall.  Soup always comes to mind and I have my favorite!  Here is the recipe for you to enjoy!

Best Chicken Noodle Soup to enjoy in this cooler weather!

Trist's Chicken Noodle Soup

1 1/2 cups wide egg noodles          1 1/2 cups vegetable broth        

1 TBS butter                                   1/2 cup water

1/2 cup chopped onion                   1/2 chopped celery

3/4 cup chopped carrots                 1 1/2 diced cooked chicken      

6 cups chicken broth                       1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp oregano                                1 tsp poultry seasoning

1 tsp salt                                           salt and pepper to taste

 

In large pot, melt butter. Cook onion and celery in butter until tender.  Add carrots, chicken, chicken broth, vegetable broth, water, basil, oregano, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.  Add uncooled noodles, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes!  Enjoy!!!  (Hint: The poultry seasoning I use is Everson Caifornia Garlic Medley.  I get it at Kroger in the Seafood Dept - ask for it by name!)

First Day of October

Now that October is officially - it seems like fall.  Today - the weather here in Texas is actually cooler.  More leaves are falling to the ground.  And most oddly - but expectedly...stores have their Christmas decorations displayed.  I personally will wait until Thanksgiving.  I am getting things ready for HALLOWEEN!  I love the cute little ones that come to the door dressed as their favorite character... and I admire the imagination of the older kids!  Halloween is always interesting!  Well - with only 30 days until the spooks arrive - it's time to get busy!!! Have a great day!

BOO!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Autumn Adventure

Several weeks ago - I had the opportunity of a lifetime.  Backpacking in the Sangre De Christo Mountains in Cimeron, New Mexico.  I went with 10 other adults and a guide - sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America.  We hiked approximately 5-6 miles/day for 7 days.  The trails were challenging, the scenery was breathtaking and the fellowship was extraordinary!  It was the most challenging thing I have ever done in my life and given the opportunity - I'd do it again in a heartbeat.  I will share with you some of the scenery as well as some lessons learned.

Hot Spots:  When you feel a rubbing on your feet - STOP IMMEDIATELY - before it becomes a blister!!!!!

Don't put important things in the BEAR BAG straight away - like your meds or flashlight.  Wait until last call before bed and put them in the OOPS BAG!

2 pieces of toilet paper is NEVER enough! 

Your backpack should weigh NOTHING or you can carry the 10+ ponds of extra water that you will need!!

Always take time to look around you to see the beautiful sights!!!

Have a wonderful day!
