Weekending ....

Hello everyone.. 

Welcome to the Blessed Hearth tonight.. 

We are windy and rainy here in New Brunswick.. 

Some areas are worried about flooding but hopefully it will not be too bad.. 

We had some sweet company this weekend.. 

We had tea in my new thrift store finds.. 

We had some lovely company for supper on Friday night.. 

Sweet little girls..

Even twins.. 

smile..

This little ceramic kitten found a new owner.. smile.. 

I found it in this box of old mementos while I was cleaning out my closet.. 

1976... a ceramics class I took then.. smile.. 

And they liked playing games.. 

And then on Sunday someone came home with us after church for lunch... 

Another couple of cutie pies.. smile.. 

They had fun outside until they got cold and wet.. 

I remember those days.. smile.. 

I made another homemade salad dressing.. 

Their Mama loves it.. 

I must confess now.. 

I promised to share the recipe for the casserole in my last post.. 

But I am afraid I forget which book it was in.. 

Sorry.. 

I will look some more tomorrow and if I can't find it then I will give you the edited version.. OK? 

Hope you all had a great weekend.. 

Take care, dear hearts and I will get back to you all soon.. 

God bless.. 

Weekending..

Hello there everyone.. 

A wet and windy night here in New Brunswick.. 

It has been quite a day as far as weather goes.. 

Traffic has come almost to a standstill in many parts of our province as the RCMP have closed major highways and cars are lined along the roads for miles waiting for the ice to be salted or whatever.. 

We headed for Moncton this morning but only went a couple of miles when we turned around and came home as the road was just a glib... 

Many accidents and vehicles were off of the roads everywhere.. 

There are videos of kids skating on the roads and some people not able to even stand up.. 

If you can imagine my Mom and husband (83 years old)  went to St. John this morning and did not get home until tonight.. 

This is over a two hour trip from their house.. 

They returned home safe but could not get up their long lane and had to have someone drive them to their door and practically carry my mom into their house.. 

So thankful I did not know what they were about.. smile.. 

And thankful to God for safe travelling mercies.. 

Anyway.. 

We have been having a good weekend regardless... 

Had some sweet visitors for supper... 

Their request as always.. 

Fried Rice, Meatballs and Salad... 

You would think they would get tired of it but they haven't yet.. 

Dustin called up and wanted to know if this was the 

House of Henry and if our rice was on sale.. 

Buy one and get one free??.. grin.. 

Funny lad, eh? 

As you can see in one of the pictures it is the bacon they love.. grin.. 

Did some baking as they were coming.. 

Golden Raisin Breads and Apple Pies.. 

Terry was so happy as Veronique brought a wonderful dessert.. 

Chocolate Lasagna...

It was simply delicious.. 

She is quite the little cook.. smile..

They bring their puppies which have grown so much.. 

Such well behaved dogs..

Charlie and Peanut.. 

We all spent some time trying to figure out a puzzle that they had given Grandpa.. 

We couldn't do it but bless his heart Grandpa figured it out..We were all shocked.. grin.. 

We had a new salad dressing that I found Here...

It is very good and excellent with a Chinese Salad.. 

To make a salad more Chinese I add carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts, celery, pea pods and such to the lettuce.. 

Well, my dears that is all for tonight.. 

I pinned an interesting YouTube to my Pinterest.. 

You can find it HERE..

Something to think about as the Israeli Leader has passed away.. 

Thank you for your visit and taking the time to leave me your notes.. 

I appreciate it and thanks for your soup ideas last post.. 

God is faithful... 

Hugs.. 

the last few days...

good evening everyone... 

do you know this is the second time that i am doing this posting.. 

i had it all finished and went to correct a spelling and the whole thing disappeared.. sigh.. 

so i guess you will get the short version, now.. 

probably for the best anyway... smile.. 

i will just share some pics of the last few days with you.. 

a bouquet of daffodils...

from you know who...

something i look for every time we drive to Sussex...

a wonderful mother's day spent with our dear family... 

a gift of rhubarb from a sweet neighbor.. 

ours is not ready yet... 

making a loaf of bread to thank them for the rhubarb ...

and including a bottle of jam.. 

the recipe is HERE for my Mom's recipe..

our tea time... 

oh, those dear sheep...

soaking apricots ....

to make a huge batch of apricot rhubarb jam.. 

it tastes kind of like marmalade...

trying out another new rhubarb recipe.. 

oriental rhubarb jam... 

good with pork or chicken, i am thinking...

i made thirty some jars of jam today... smile..

thank you for all the sweet mother's day wishes.. 

hope you all had an awesome day, too.. 

we have a full week planned. 

terry is putting a new roof on the old farm so i will likely be going out there with him...

by the way...

did you know that Jesus can be your everything?..

 and  when He is your everything then your everything can do anything...

that is a little statement made by Rev. T. F. Tenney on a tape I listened to today..

so true... 

blessings dear friends.. thanks for dropping by...
