But, here on the farm us girls kinda feel like the pictures are pretty important in preserving a few of the moments that are almost a blur the day of due to the ridiculous amount of tiny details that require some work! And the influx of social media feed the night of prom and the next morning gets a few ahhhs and at times turns to "OMG more prom pictures" then turns to "the only thing in my news feed is prom pics!" As a photographer, but in this particular photo shoot the mother, I decided to wait until all prom pictures went away and slowly had faded into our memory banks before I shared ours with you!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The hours of planning, shopping, nails, flowers, hair and makeup is kinda crazy in the big grand scheme of things. Being from a very small community the budget is limited and historically food has never been a part of the evening. I had agreed to host an after prom party for the kids to come back and eat and play hide and go seek with the glow in the dark glow sticks. We live out on a small farm in the middle of no where so it was the perfect place for such an activity! I should have taken pictures of that too, but was pooped after all the steaming of dresses, photo shoot and getting the food ready…… so without any more ramblings, let me show you just a few glimpses of the Cinderella moments! And just for grins, this here mother has a new found respect for the fairy godmother in that story……</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Jacqueline, one of my daughters dear friends from school joined us for a day on the farm too! She was so cute and provided us with lots of giggles..... some extras could have been brought on by the simple fact that we all witnessed Josue zoom past our house multiple times and then would disappear for another 10-15 minutes. For some odd reason his GPS was refusing to guide him to our driveway. One might wonder why he did not notice all of the girls out in the front yard; but then again perhaps it is because he only has eyes for Miss Jacqueline!</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>On a special note the two young men with my two beautiful daughters were their very first friends when they became part of our forever family! So of course I thought it was indeed a special event and most fitting that Remington and Sawyer asked Olivia and Damita to prom their Junior and Senior years. And not for one second never, ever let anyone tell you that what the guys wear is any less important to them than the dress is to the girl!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Oh and tiaras and crowns are a big deal…. Remington and Olivia were crowned at the end of the evening and sad face here, I have yet to see a decent picture of that…… But the blingy little tiara and roses graced our kitchen table for a few days…..</i></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That’s why I don’t think there’s any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times. The created world itself can hardly wait for what’s coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens.”</span></i></div>

<i>I enjoyed making a few Valentine cards this year. It was a simple project and came together with some ease! They made for a few fun gifts. Kinda crazy for vintage looking paper and these papers were perfect to achieve the look I wanted to go with the stamps I had purchased at the post office! This year is moving so quickly and to think it is nearly Easter! Happy day to all!</i></div>

S. Covey</span></b></i><br />
<br />
Decades ago I gave up on making new years resolutions...... anybody out there feel me? Good I have the right audience! I not only gave up, I actually hated them! I would just try to smile and nod as I would be surrounded by people who loved talking about their resolutions and would talk about eating their blackeye peas......<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>disclaimer: NO Turtles were killed while filming this video! But some of my flesh is gonna be dying as I say goodbye to some bad habits.......</i><br />

As I close I would like to leave you with a thought.... God is a good God and He is in a good mood! Yep, he loves to laugh!<br />

“My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.”</div>

And as I am sitting here wanting to chicken out again and ask myself for the one hundredth time, "WHY, WHY should I do this?", I am choosing to be brave, fearless, accountable and perhaps obedient! There I said it! If you are reading this you may be wondering what is this lady up to. Here is the deal, back in January on my birthday I was headed into town and got this crazy idea to make a video, yep it was a new thought. I was having fun and just kept doing it, but something was going off in me, this crazy thought of maybe, just maybe I could become a regular blogger if I told my story, rather than write it! I love to write, however my time is limited and recording a video could be done in a fraction of the time. New thought....<br />
<br />
Later that afternoon my friend Rhonda wanted her daughter to hear some of the videos, because she is a YouTube fan. I just simply said, hey Trella listen to this lady I found on the internet, about a minute into it she said something like, hey that's you and your good and you should upload that to YouTube because people would listen to you. And what do I do, hit the PAUSE button.<br />
<br />
A few weeks later I decided to play a few videos for my 16 year old daughter who had no idea about any of this. She was very intrigued and sat and listened and listened and listened...... Night before last this same daughter asked if I had uploaded any videos. My answer was a simple no! "WHY MOM, WHY? You need to do it, my friends and I want to listen to you!"<br />
<br />
Last night, one of my oldest running friends, Dru showed up in my office and asked me if I had uploaded any videos yet...... once again my answer was no!<br />
<br />
So here is the deal and my disclaimer all rolled into one paragraph! These are uncut, un-edited, no scripts, no rehearsals, but are real, transparent, filled with bloopers and such and they are not for everyone! And yes, of course Jesus shows up in my storytelling! I am choosing to go live with them and I pray if you find yourself following my journey that you are encouraged, uplifted and find a laughter or two along the way!<br />
<br />
Thank you, Trella, Damita and Dru for pushing me ...... Can a girl write a vlog dedication, you know like a book dedication? Well, I'm gonna do it....<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"><i>"I would like to dedicate this first video to three beautiful, fun girls whom I have laughed with, cried with and had fun with and all whom love Starbucks as much as I do! Love all of you dearly, Teresa"</i></span><br />

I just love it when an idea pops in my head and it comes together!<br />
This canvas was fun, simplistic and energizing and it seems to be producing the result in others that it did in me…… smiles!<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><i>"Building layers tells my story" </i></span>is stenciled into the side of the canvas; a nice reminder that no matter how we choose to embrace life we are people with layers, many layers that we have gained along the way…..<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Julie Nutting doll stamps are one of those frills that have found their home in my studio. A fond childhood memory that my mother created for me was teaching me how to make paper dolls out of the old Montgomery Wards catalogue. A pair of scissors, and a cardboard box made it complete because I now could go to the home decor section and decorate my house. Glue? Nothing fancy, water and flour was the paste of the day and it worked! </td></tr>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Introducing Covered Bridges by Ken Oliver Crafts!</span></b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely am enjoying this line of papers and last week when I was creating all of those leaves I could envision them drifting through the air over one of those beautiful bridges and hence the idea was birthed for a mixed media canvas. And just for the record this canvas did not come together like I imagined it, but that is what I enjoy about mixed media is just creating layer upon layers! It is the process that is fun! Not really sure if I am finished with this one, but for tonight I am calling it good!</div>

This past week one of my scrapbooking friends, Patrice, lost her battle to cancer. I will always treasure the hours, the retreats, the memories we made! Crafting, like the quilting bees of days gone by afforded us the opportunity of spending quality time together. She was a blessing to all who knew her! She fought the good fight and maintained her faith until the very end of leaving this earth. Friday afternoon we gathered for a memorial celebration of her life and we sang a song I was not familiar with. </div>

<i>Hymn of Promise </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-hyphens: auto; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 2ex; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify; white-space: nowrap;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-hyphens: auto; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify; white-space: nowrap;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-align: justify; white-space: nowrap;">Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.</span> </div>

I originally had no intentions of adding a butterfly to this canvas, but the words of this song kept coming to mind as I was painting. I kept thinking how "free" Patrice is today and the celebration she is reveling in! Her pastor even brought a great round of laughter when he mentioned that James, Peter and John were now having scrapbooks made of their lives now that Patrice had made it into her eternal home! As I was placing the leaves about the canvas I loved the way it came together. Leaves are in their finest colors of brilliance as they depart from the tree and drift downwards to their death. The butterfly is free and is drifting upwards! </div>

<i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. Rev. 22: 1-3</span></i></div>

I attempted uploading this little tribute to my Facebook account on 9-11 and FB immediately sent me an email saying they removed my video because it had copyrighted material in it! I am new to this part of the spectrum, but was determined to keep trying! My friend suggested I upload it into UTube and so I did! <br />
<br />
I find technology fascinating and love to challenge myself in trying new things. What this really did was awaken a place in me to take this to a new level! Consider this a very rough trial run ...… enjoy!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Today as I pulled up in front of my sons home, my current, temporary office the American flag flying in the front lawn caught my eye. The day had been really overcast and no bright blue skies to be seen. The flag was such a pop of color, but much more. A reminder that we remember 911 and the horrific events that took place in our nation that day.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I snapped a quick pic or two and ran it through my Rhonna app. I should have known I would not take just a few minutes to create a quick picture. As this came together so many thoughts popped through my mind. When I think about my homeland and all we have experienced and going through today I can be overwhelmed. And suddenly I have a ahh-ahh moment ....... </div>

When this earth passes away and we have a new heavens and new earth, God will be the light for the holy city of the new Jerusalem: “there shall be no night there … for the Lord God gives them light” (Revelation 22:5).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am thankful that I still enjoy the freedom to worship my God and I am grateful that many people have fought for that freedom and continue to do so...... Many have gone before us...... </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Note: This blogpost should have a warning label, a disclosure statement, not for the faint of heart, etc. attached to it. Please do not read this post if you are opposed to homeschooling! </span></i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The year was 1992 and I decided to "homeschool" my then five-year old son. Blogging, Pinterest, texting and social media was yet to be discovered. My circles of friends, family and influence did not include much support either. Can I look back today and count it as good? Was it the right thing to do? Would I do it again? Would I encourage others to consider the options? Yes, would be my answer to all of the preceding questions!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would like to be able to tell you that my husband and I had this great big God-dream and we were on the same page as this little part of our journey began! Years later as we pursued science experiments in the kitchen, not limited to dissecting a fetal pig on the kitchen table, social gatherings, sports events, support group meetings, the constant ringing of the telephone, and the endless field trips, I began to be shaped by a new-emerging thought process. Education in America was in the infant stages of being reformed. How did we survive? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In order not to digress into a history lesson I will allow you to do your own research about the early Pilgrims, their plight, their hardships and their success in coming to America! As I was driving down the highway one day, on the way to another event the Holy Spirit spoke to me in almost an audible voice. He showed me that we were Pilgrims in this thing they called "homeschool". It was not my job ever to recruit, persuade entice others to join. It would need to be a personal conviction and one That He would take care of. In other words I was not to be Holy Ghost Jr! However, He graciously allowed me to share my journey and tid-bits of encouragement to those that were following behind me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Twenty-Two years ago this weekend, Labor-Day weekend, I anxiously awaited the start of my newly established one room, school room with my two students. My five year-old was entering Kindergarten and my two-year old was entering Pre-school. What was a woman to do? What should you do if you are just beginning this journey or maybe on the last leg of this journey? Pray! That is my best answer still. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would love to tell you that our journey through raising children was smooth sailing. Wait let me tell you something you may be interested in knowing! This was not our first round with children! My husband and I had the honor to help contribute to the raising of his 15-year old sister. Her education landed on my shoulders; I took that on and was most serious about it! Some of those moments will simply have to wait for another blog post. She was a public-school prodigy. Our two babies, now eighth and ninth grade are currently attending public school. That too, will become topics for more blogs! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Labor Day ....... Yes, but as I close this brief post I am reminded that raising children is a labor of love and the real challenge to parents is to love their children! How does one tired, over committed mom do that? Love yourself first! Pray, pray, and pray some more........</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S. In honor of our family tradition I must sign-off and apprentice my third generation of teenagers the meaning of Labor Day ...... Some old fashion perseverance in housekeeping! Look out closets here we come!!!</div>

As I gaze upon my withering grass, that lacks moisture from the long hot, dry summer days that are passing I anticipate the new season that is approaching..... Autumn is on our heals and no matter your choice of education for this semester I cling tight to these words.....</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. A voice of one calling: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">“In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God</span>. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” “<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall,</span> because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart</span>; he gently leads those that have young. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge, or showed him the path of understanding? Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust. Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires, nor its animals enough for burnt offerings. Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing. With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him? As for an idol, a metalworker casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it. A person too poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot; they look for a skilled worker to set up an idol that will not topple. Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">people are like grasshoppers.</span> He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">The Lord is the everlasting God, </span>the Creator of the ends of the earth. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">He will not grow tired or weary</span>, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint</span>. (Isaiah 40:1-31 NIV)</div>

Yes, I suppose I am a dreamer of sorts or at least as I read through this article I found I could identify with almost all of the twenty-two items listed! I try not to re-post other links to my blog and maintain original stuff, but this is a good article to consider if you are having a hard time understanding a child that you may be raising that is a dreamer! Consider helping them to understand and celebrate that they do think different from their peers and it is more than OK!</div>

The Rhonna Designs is so never ending! I may be stuck here for awhile! So much easier than other software programs and I love the fact that I do not need an internet connexion to create! I am uplifted and inspired with the ease of it!! <div><br></div><div>My girls have been singing "Let it Go" from Frozen. I finally sat down to watch the movie last night with them and fell asleep at the end! Guess I will have to finish watching it tonight ..... Sometimes I need to be reminded by Papa God when I am worrying about too many things!

He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps. 110:1.] Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your [own] blood.

It was fun having both of my babies in Jr. High. Damita goes off to high school next year and the schedule will be crazy! Not even sure I will get any kind of break! Alas, the time goes too fast. I took this pic yesterday afternoon while we were waiting on my car to have a minor repair made. Can you believe my door handle broke on a Cadillac?! Well it did and it became a pain in the past month not being able to open that door! We are such creatures of habit. And we take too many things for granted. You cannot believe how many times we all reached for that door handle only to be disappointed again because it was not going to allow entrance into the car!!!! I feel relieved that I finally took time to get it replaced. So thankful that I can access my Heavenly Father 24/7! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And summer starts now! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire!

Sometimes, well make that most of the time when you live in the creative side you just don't stop looking, learning, and creating! I wanted to share a few creations I have been putting together with my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"><b>Rhonna Designs iPad App</b></span>. I think you can<strike> waste </strike>create for hours and hours and wonder where the time evaporated to! As with all techie stuff there is a learning curve. This app is worth the investment if you like the look of mixed media and I do! I just cannot always drag around my wonderful art supplies and play so this app seems to curb that desire a tad bit.</div>

This is a creation I did during worship yesterday! I felt Abba Father speaking to me about traveling far, the requirements? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Stand STILL and Do NOT BE Moved</i></span> by ALL of the things that surround my little world. Sounds pretty easy; not so much! As our pastor was sharing yesterday our society has become very toxic. Many, many things are vying for our attention. We have to find that time, that secret place to be alone, really alone with Him. </div>

I always loved playing with paper dolls when I was a little girl. My mother would mix up some flour and water and make a gooey substance she called paste. She would let me have the expired Montgomery Wards catalog and a big cardboard box and a pair of scissors! I would cut and paste and create for hours on end. I am excited about the endless possibilities of mixing these in with my mixed media......... you will have to visit my blog again to see the ongoing story! P.S. Thank you Miss Ann L. for introducing me to these adorable little ladies and allowing me to "play" with your dolls!</div>

So, here we are in the Spring of 2014 and I discovered today a set of pictures I had taken to write a blog post about my new We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board! Timely blogs do not seem to be in my grid, but I continue to try because there is just something about blogging that intrigues me!<br />

My dear friend, and fellow cropping buddy, Valerie surprised me with this as a gift and certainly a new cropping tool is always an adventure. I finally gave myself permission to play for a couple of days and experiment with this new gadget. I have always had a liking for having my envelopes be hand-designed to go with my one of a kind cards. I confess that I have been using old fashioned templates and cutting them by hand...... I admit I wasn't too keen on this idea, but am hooked on a new system for making envelopes!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When I married into this family I realized pretty quickly I would have an entire new way of cooking to learn and I was up for the task. Growing up and surrounded by many great cooks I had already mastered a number of meals that I enjoyed serving family and friends. That was 33 years ago! Today I can pretty much hold my own ground in the kitchen and absolutely enjoy cooking! In raising our children it was important to me that they embrace both my husband's Mexico cuisine and my southern cuisine! Its kind of funny where we merged and adapted some recipes to both of our likings. For the most part we have managed to raise four kids and none of them are too picky. The adult children will come back home for certain meals with just a phone call that says guess what we are having for dinner tonight. And our son, Preston, well lets just say when I call and say I am cooking Posole I might as well set out several extra bowls because he is going to invite a few friends to come home for dinner! </span></div>

Step #1 </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Brown pork tenderloins and cover generously with garlic, (about 2-3 Tbsp. of minced garlic) salt and pepper. I sometimes use my waterless cookware and sometimes I use my crockpot. Depends on how much time I have to cook my meat. You will need to add several cups of water to make broth. This broth will become part of your soup base later.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step #2</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes I take time to "roast" or blacken my peppers on a cast iron griddle and then proceed with the next step. Kind of depends on how much time I have and honestly I am not sure that my family can really tell the difference. In a separate pan add the red peppers and cover with water and a lid. Allow them to simmer until they soften up and shrivel up a bit. I included a picture for you so you would know what they should look like! Usually takes 10-15 minutes and I just turn the burner off and let them set until they cool down a bit. Now comes my least favorite part of this job and if you can recruit a kitchen helper it will be less time consuming. After-all it is a family tradition to gather in the kitchen and many hands makes for lighter work. Cut off the stem end and split open the pepper and scrape out all of the seeds. Yes, I said this was my least favorite part of the job! [it is very important to remove all of the seeds-they are hard and do not dissolve plus if you bite into one they have a bitter taste]</div>

Step #3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pork tenderloins cooking...... note: in my most humble opinion you cannot put too much minced garlic during the cooking process of the meat</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step #4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Place the stemless and seedless remains of the red peppers in your blender or Vita-Mix and add about a cup of water - and yes I use the water the peppers were cooked in! Blend very well. The goal is not to have pieces of skin showing. If your blender does not completely blend all of the skin you can pour it through a collander to remove any pieces. </div>

Step #5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Add pepper mixture to simmering broth and add water to consistency of thin soup broth. Add chopped meat, hominy, and oreagno. I usually add about 1-2 Tablespoons of dried Oreagno. This is one of the unusual spices used in this soup! Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring soup back to simmer and serve with the following garnishes!</div>

Step #7<br>
Not mandatory, but my family thinks I am cheating if I try to serve store-bought chips, so to the chip factory we go! I use store-bought corn tortillas and cut them into strips and fry them in a cast-iron skillet. Use about 1/2 inch of oil and make sure it is really hot before you begin placing them in the skillet! Keep your layer single for best results. Drain on paper towels and add salt immediately.<br>

Good Morning to all of my peeps in blogland!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had such good intentions of posting this blog prior to NSD, National Scrapbook Day, for those of you that might not be familiar with that set of letters! As usual my to do list was way too long and the days were rolling by me like the evening tide. I was putting the finishing touches on a couple of my senior proof books and had made a huge pile of scraps. My son-n-love and daughter had shown up and was sitting at the kitchen table visiting as I was beginning to clean up my mess. Well if you have ever sat at our kitchen table you know what can happen. NARNIA time, yes they began to talk and I started "playing" with the scraps of paper as I listened to the current events of their daily lives. The following pics will tell you the rest of the story......</div>

Reece teased me and said and so now you are going to throw that in the trash?! My creative juices started flowing and I decided to see what I could create.......</span></div>

Recently we all met for lunch. Now I was actually trying out my eldest daughters advice about time management. She suggested I go to lunch with someone that had a tight time schedule which would prevent me from falling into Narnia time. Sounded like it might work. These two young mothers would be in pursuit to pick up their little toddlers at the local Mother's Day out program. <br>
<br>
I told them they would be responsible to watch the time and when they had to leave, I would leave. We were having such a delightful lunch and a lively conversation and time was slipping. When I sensed it was the time we should be departing and going our separate ways, they just giggled and announced, "Got 'cha! Our moms are picking up our children, so we have all the time you can spare!" So much for time management!<br>
<br>
The local Italian restaurant served Chicken Florentine soup with their lunch special and since I am usually willing to try something new I ordered some! Emily being the great adventurous cook, too admitted to never making it! Needless to say, since I had never eaten it I certainly didn't recall ever looking at a recipe. Well, my dear ladies I have been wanting some more soup and with a little google search I discovered there were many different ways to make it. And I did what I like to do best...... Just started tossing stuff in the pot! <br>
<br>
I will save the Ricky and Lucy story for the end....... So let's get cooking!<br>
<br>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>Teresa's Chicken Florentine Soup</i></span><br>
(First Attempt)<br>
<br>
4-boneless chicken breasts<br>
Cover them with water; add salt, pepper and garlic powder; simmer until done<br>
Dice into bite size pieces and add back to broth and continue to simmer<br>
<br>
Add one yellow onion finely diced<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">About one cup of finely diced carrots </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">About one cup of finely diced celery</span></div>
Minced garlic - about 2 Tblsp. <br>
2- boxes of chicken broth<br>** optional - A shake or two of "Slap Ya Mama" by Walker & Sons<br>
<br>
Remove a couple of cups of hot broth from stock pot and whisk in 3-Tblsp. of flour ( I went really easy on the flour due to gluten issues, therefore my soup was pretty thin )<br><div>
<br>
Bring back to a simmer<br>
<br>
Add 1-cup of white cooking wine</div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2-3 bay leaves (I try to remember to scoop out those floating leaves - failure to do so will bring on the commentaries)</span><br>
<br>
Then add: <br>
<br>
8 oz. of cream cheese<br>
1 & 1/2 cup of heavy cream<br>
<br>
Add a carton of fresh baby spinach (sliced) <br>
* I added a bunch because I figured it would be a easy way to get my family to eat a healthy portion! Warning: the green stuff floating in the pot gave it the "fear factor food" name at my house tonight. <br>
<br>
Simmer a few minutes until spinach wilts and now it is time to sit down and enjoy some piping hot Chicken Florintine!<br>
<br>
<br>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>Croutons</i></span><br>
<br>
One loaf of stale French bread-sliced into one inch cubes<br>
<br>
1-stick of melted butter<br>
<br>
<i><b>Stir in:</b></i><br>
1-tsp. garlic powder<br>
1/2 tsp. garlic salt<br>
Black pepper<br>
A couple of shakes of "Slap Ya Mama" by Walker & Sons<br>
<br>
Continue stirring as you drizzle the butter over the bread pieces. <br>
<br>
Bake 350 for 20 minutes-<br>
Stir them around<br>
Lower oven to 225 and continue to bake an additional 20 minutes<br>
Turn off the oven!<br>
<br>
But, leave them in the oven for a couple of hours. The goal is to dry them out slowly. Crispy is the goal!<br>
<br>
Serve with soup and if you have any leftovers they store great in a ziplock bag for up to one week.<br>

Now for the really easy part:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I put one Tbsp. of coffee in the bottom of the glass and laid a girl scout cookie on top of the coffee. I then spooned in the pudding mixture and topped with a dollop of heavy whipped whipping cream. Two more girl scout cookies garnished the top and there you have a very simple dessert.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let us talk a bit about that whipping cream..... I really wanted some cream cheese and powder sugar mixture, but didn't have any. So I poured about a half of cup of heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl and added a couple of Tbsp. of sugar and beat with a fork until it got stiff. Normally I would have used a mixer for this process, but decided I was not making enough to justify the mess. It doesn't look as pretty, but taste was super!</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Well I was already committed to the evening menu and with Reece and Leslie<br>
showing up I decided to throw together a quick dessert.<br>

Ready for the Ricky and Lucy part of the story!? Everybody kept coming through the kitchen and asking what was for dinner.... My answer was the same every time, "Chicken Florentine" and their response was "Chicken who?!" When Olivia went to get her dad for dinner he enters the kitchen with a fairly decent attitude about dinner. "So we are dinning like the Italians?" You know you really should have married an Italian, I am Mexican and Mexican's don't eat Italian food! About half way through his bowl of soup he departs from the kitchen table and starts warming up some flour tortillas. Well of course Leslie starts picking out her chicken and rolling it up in her tortilla! You know after 32 years of many Ricky and Lucy moments I have learned more about going with the flow and choosing not to be insulted or angered! Most of the time I can laugh at our differences and we have tried to instill in our children that it is okay to embrace both sides of their parents cuisine worlds.<br>

Finally we had reached the end of the main course and it was time to serve the dessert. Needless to say the anticipation was somewhat high because chocolate was involved. Leslie takes a bite and says, "Oh, no, you put coffee in it!" Damita and Olivia chose to eat theirs, but decided it would have been much better without the coffee..... Reece ate his and Leslie's or at least I think that is what happened. And as for Jose' (Ricky) he announced that he had had enough Italian food for one night and trotted off to the fridge again, only to return with his Mexican rice pudding! Yep, it was just the store bought-pre-packaged kind. As he is peeling off the foil top announces that if he cannot pronounce it then he shouldn't eat it! </div>

All in all the meal was pretty tasty, I just didn't have the right guests over for dinner! Emily and Vanessa I should have called you, perhaps you would have appreciated my efforts a tad bit more! In closing let me send up a warning to you sensitive gals..... If you decide to experiment in the kitchen and try new things that your family is not accustom to eating, you should have a tough exterior along with a sense of humor! Getting upset over a meal just simply isn't worth it! It wasn't exactly the family dinner gathering at the June Cleaver's table, but it was our dinner table and 32 years later we still think it is pretty important to hang out at the table and dine together! Want to know one more little secret we have enforced all of these years at the dinner table? No TV! We like to talk about our day ...... It really is important to connect with our loved ones and sometimes this is the only time after long work days and school activities and all the other craziness our busy lives take on. Go ahead whip up something new tonight and experience the satisfaction of helping your family out of the box!</div>
