Good morning MMC!! TGIF!!! Merry Friday!!!

It's going to be a "run, run, run" weekend! I have a pot roast going in the crock pot to bring to the lake tonight, but 1st I have to be at Moms at 3 to meet a new lady interested in caregiving for Mom on the weekends. Then I'll head to the lake. I have to be back at moms at 8 tomorrow morning until 6 - We (or I) will watch the Bucks there. Then I'll head back to the lake - no major plans out there. Then I have to be back at moms Sunday morning at 8:30 until 4-5:00 when my sister is taking over for the overnight. Whew!! Can't wait for that pot roast tonight... LOL (It's kind of the highlight of the weekend!) :p

Boss #1 is on vacation, so I'm only at my old job today. I'm ok with that! :)

Everyone, have a great day!!!!

TGIF, Christmas friends!

I worked my tail off yesterday, cleaning up after the storm. And I still have a couple days of work to do. It was so hot and humid yesterday, I was miserable. Today, it's in the 70's and BEAUTIFUL!!

I hope no one else had too much trouble from the storm!

And I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Glad you were able to get some cleaned up! I hope the rest of cleanup goes well. We just have some breezy wind now but lots of rain last night

May I offer a crockpot beef stew variation?
Mr. doesn't like soup mixes, so I usually just coat stew beef chunks in flour and put them in the crockpot with baby carrots and chopped potatoes. I add a can of undiluted condensed beef broth, maybe a little salt and pepper, and cook it in the crockpot on low all day. It makes a very nice stew.

Of course. Always like new recipes/ways to make things! This might be a dumb question, but what is undiluted condensed beef broth? I don't think I've ever seen/used it. :rolleyes:

Campbell's beef broth in a can ... usually you'd add a can of water, like you do with Campbell's condensed soup. But I just pour in the can of broth without adding the can of water.

Happy Friday!!!! Working more on the garage tonight and gonna start cleaning out and rearranging the kitchen cabinets too. We are going to Great Adventure tomorrow and will be there pretty much all day .. temps suppose t be in the upper 50s should ne fun :) Haven't been there in over 25 years :eek:
 
It was 54 degrees when I took DD to school this morning. She yelled that it was nippy outside & I turned the heat on in the car! DH said he turned the heat on at home when he got up this morning. I wore my first sweater of the season today! Highs should be in the high 60's for the next week. Maybe Fall is really here now?

One of these days I will remember all of their names - for some reason I can always remember Sophia!! LOL!!! I should be able to remember Rosie b/c that's our friends Wheaten's name.... Bently was my brother/sil's Yorkie - Bella & Bently - shouldn't be so hard to remember! ;) :p :) All of them - so cute!!! Rocky too! :):)

Sophia is the one that wakes me up in the wee hours every morning, maybe that’s why her name sticks in your head lol. She’s a little devil!
