Wordless Wednesday

Captain & Tennille

Today while at work I was talking to Boss Lady about getting a cd stuck in the cd player in the car.

The first thing she asked was, "was it your Captain & Tennille?"

I was like "WHO!?!?!?"

She didn't believe me when I said I had never heard of them.

That they were a duet, that was something like the Carpenters.

I had to question her wanting me to find out about them, seriously, if you think about it

what kind of brother & sister sings songs like the Carpenters??

She told me to go to my world of knowledge, aka Google and find them.

Being they had their first "album" in 1974 and was 2yrs before I was even born, I felt better.

So my question today is, how many of you remember this "Captain & Tennille"?

What are your memories of them?

For those of you who do, I have put them on my tracks below.

Enjoy!!

I thought this was suiting for me :)

Post It Note Tuesday

Sunday Morning Thoughts

This was an email from a friend:
We were in Pigeon Forge over the weekend. On Sunday, we left to come home. Traffic was moving slowly, and a car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker. It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8."
Mike's Bible was lying on the back seat. He got it, opened it to that scripture, and read it. He started laughing and laughing. Then he read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too.
Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take his office."







Drinking From My Saucer

I've never made a fortune,

It's probably too late now.

Oh, but I don't worry about that much,

'Cause I'm happy anyhow.

As I go along life's journey,

I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches,

Sometimes the going's rough.

But I've got a friend in Jesus,

And that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for all His Blessings on me,

And the mercy that He's bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Oh sure, I've been thru some storms,

And yes, I'm sure there were times when my,

Well, my Faith must have got a little thin,

But you know what it seemed like?

One day all at once, those dark clouds broke,

And that old sun, she started shinin' again.

So Lord, help me not to grumble and complain,

About the tough rows I have hoed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

And if I should go on living,

If the way gets steep and rough.

I won't ask for other Blessings,

'Cause I'm already Blessed enough.

May I never be too busy,

To help another bear his load.

And I'll keep drinking from my saucer, Lord,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Yes, I'll keep drinkin' from my saucer, Lord,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

My Cup Has Overflowed.

Saturday in the Hills

It's a fairly warm Saturday here in the hills for a Saturday in Jan.

Suppose to top out today at 55.

The sun is trying to sneak it's little head out and say "howdy".

I know it's hard to believe but I am still in my jammies here at 2pm

and to be perfectly honest, I don't know that I will get out of them today.

It's so nice to just be lazy!!!

DH asked this morning if I would fix "Lennie's Duck"

which is a dish here in the hills we fix.  Who knows, maybe others do?

It's great with a big pone of cornbread and glass of sweet tea, Mmmm..

I told him that was fine, and since I had the stuff, I would make the

Lemon Meringue Pie with Cookie Crumb Crust from over at Southern Plate.

Christy sure does know how to make a mean lemon pie.

 

We had a piece of Ice box Lemon Pie which is

similiar to this at Bozo's Hot Pit Bar-B-Que in Mason TN

(outside of Memphis TN) a few years back on our anniversary. 

It was awesome!!  I guess so since I learned while looking for an addy to it

this morning that Hard Rock Cafe' has bought them out,

and trying to make them an international success as well.

Which is somewhat disappointing since it was a great small town place.

It also is where they filmed part of Walk The Line about Johnny & Juny Cash.

DH had to have some bar-b-que sauce to go

That is what is in the brown bag, not booze.

Although it is addictive as booze some would say.

Reason why I love DH today?

1. He went to Wally World so I didn't have to, and took my brother

2. He is outside taking down all the Christmas lights while it's still warm

3. Simply because he loves me so.

So here is the recipe for Lennie's Duck

(I will have DH take a picture to post later)

• 1lb of hamburger
• 1/4lb pork sausage
• 6 potatoes peeled & quartered
• 2 large onions quartered
• 4 carrots sliced
• 1 head of cabbage quartered

Mix hamburger & sausage with salt and pepper.  Roll into balls about the size of a quarter.

Place in 13x9x2 inch pan.  Add potatoes, carrots, onions. 

I usually pull my cabbage quarters apart and lay across the other stuff.

I usually only use half the cabbage, and sometimes even fix it seperate as boiled cabbage.

Salt a little again (or alot if you're me)

Cover and cook at 400 for 1 1/2 hrs.

Serve with Cornbread and Sweet Tea!
