My friend, Donna Lundy, is having a birthday today. I like to wish my friends “Happy Birthday” with a phone call on their birthday, but when I called her this morning there was no answer. I guess I will have to try to call again later. I didn’t want to leave her a voice mail – it’s important to talk to her in person so the wishes are most sincere.
A very dear friend of our gave us some fresh venison this week and I made the ground part of it into deer chili. Let me brag on it, it was very good and I was very pleased with how it turned out. I searched and found a recipe on the internet and it looked very simple and it was. It had a very nice chili flavor and of course I added to the recipe just a bit. I added Sweet Italian Sausage and it made it very tasty. It would of been fine with out the sausage but I think it perked it up very nicely and I will have to try this again as soon as James gets me some more deer meat, he is the only person that we know who goes hunting a lot.
This is a long past due thank you to a very good friend of mine who got me started in this blog, Wendy thanks to you I am having so much fun and learning so much as I read other blogs, thanks to you, so much. I miss your blog and hope you will get back into the swing soon. Thanks again for everything and if I can do any thing to help you know how to get a hold of me.
A very close friend of mine has a daughter that is about to have a baby and we mothers got together and threw her a baby shower. She got some really nice stuff for her baby which is due next week. She is going to have a baby girl and has decided to name her Savannah, that is a very old fashioned named for these times but I really like it. I hope if she has another child she does not name it Dallas or Tulsa.
Every year on the 4th of July we have family and friends over for a huge BBQ and fireworks display. I wish I could take credit for the fireworks display but it put on by the water park across the lake but from our deck we have a wonderful view. This year we are having BBQ ribs and corn on the cob with baked potatoes cooked on the grill. Lots of beer and soda to wash it all down and the party is on. Looks like very good weather this year last year we had some rain kinda messed up the BBQ part of the party but this year looks clear and mild. Thank you Mother Nature.
