Weekend report

Hope you all had a nice weekend!  I had a busy, but nice one.  I had to work 11-7 Friday night, so I spent several hours sleeping on Saturday, but Saturday night we took my Dad and step-mom out for supper.

We went to one of our favorite restaurants in town, which is an Italian restaurant.  Here's Dad and Ann with their enormous servings of chicken fettucine.  Needless to say, a lot went back home with us, but it was very good and we had a nice time together.

Sunday we had church in the morning, then we went for a picnic lunch and a little hike in a nearby park.  It was quite cool when we started out, but by mid afternoon it was very nice outside.

We brought supper over to Bobs mom and stepdad in the evening.  I made us panini sandwiches and a yummy dessert.  Bobs stepdad is legally blind and had early onset Alzheimer's so sometimes it's easier to just eat at home.  We had a nice evening with them too, but I totally forgot to take a picture!

I had thought I was going to have to work on Sunday, so I told my girls not to plan any Mother's Day activities.  We'll see them and celebrate later. I did get to talk to Andy who was driving home to Kentucky from New York.

My work situation has been very crazy lately, and I've had to work a lot of hours because of this nursing shortage.  Last week I worked 68 hours and hope not to repeat that anytime soon!
My friend Dianna from Forgiven knows how stressful work has been and has been faithfully praying for me.  Imagine my surprise when I got this sweet package from her on Saturday.

She sent me a nice card and this shoulder wrap that can be heated in the microwave, and is scented with lavender and peppermint - two of my favorite scents!  I tried it out Saturday night and greatly enjoyed it.   Thanks Dianna for being so thoughtful!

Friday Funny

Cooking Thursday

I love Mexican food!  Tacos, burritos, fajita's, nachos...   One thing I like to make for supper when time is limited is quesadilla's.   If I know I'm going to have a late day at work, I make this chicken filling ahead of time, then all I have to do is warm it in the microwave, put it on the tortillas and brown them.  I have a tortilla maker, but if you don't you can make these using a frying pan on the stove too.

Fajita Quesadilla's

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 green pepper, sliced thinly
fajita seasoning mix
flour tortillas
shredded cheddar cheese

Prepare chicken, onion, pepper as directed on the fajita seasoning mix.
Preheat your pan, place one tortilla on it and spread some chicken mix over it.  Sprinkle with shredded cheese and cover with another tortilla.  Brown and flip quesadilla to brown the other side.
Remove from pan and cut into wedges.  Serve with salsa and sour cream.
