Day 241. Fall is Coming!!!

This week has brought some cooler temperatures.  Oh, it is SO to my delight!  I have a lot of things on my heart these days, but I wouldn't know where to begin on sharing them.  I feel like my thoughts are very scattered, let alone trying to write them all out.  When I remember to simplify, it helps me.  I am encouraged when I'm reminded to take joy in things like a beautiful fall day.  I take a deep breath, thank God for the many undeserved blessings He has bestowed upon me, and a few steps forward I go.

With the arrival of fall, comes a different menu in our home.  I love to make a big pot of chili, roast a chicken in the oven, or roll out some dough for chicken 'n dumplings!  I COULD make those things in warmer weather, but I don't think they would have the same appeal, and they would only heat up my kitchen unbearably!  Yuck.  My sister-in-law introduced another comfort food that I made tonight, and it was a big hit!  It's not a complicated dish, just one I'd never thought to make!  Homemade ENCHILADAS!  She made them for us while we visited last week, and my kids just loved them (as did I).  So, I took a chance at trying it myself this evening, and it was successful.  Happy boys.  Happy hubby.  Happy me.  :)  THANKS, AUNT SAM!  :)

I took this picture of her when we had our little family session last week.  She needed something for her business website, and this was her favorite.  :)  She is selling Lia Sophia jewelry, so if you're interested, take a look at her site, and get in touch with her!  Just click HERE.
