Throw Back Thursday ~ Kristen ~ Mylar Balloon ~ Gil Zavala ~ Dan Johnson ~ Won Ton Tacos


Good 33º clear moon out ice on the barn roof morning.

It only warmed to 68º yesterday. I had the heat on in the house. Burrrr..... even wore a long underwear shirt and a sweatshirt when outside working.  It went from this.....
to this by afternoon. Thought it might rain earlier, but no.
 
 
Happy Throw Back Thursday...

Kristen new Deputy

Several people have asked about Kristen's battle with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Some good news... Originally when she was diagnosed the doctor assigned her tumor a marker. The number was 580. The second time they drew blood it was above 600. The next time it was in the 400 range. This past week it was 122 !!!!! The drugs (chemo/steroids) is working! Praise God!
 
 
I forgot these pictures yesterday. As Mike was leaving on Tuesday he looks up at the mountain and says, "Say, do you see that mylar balloon up there?" I looked and looked and finally saw it...


Mike has good eyes!
 
Two special birthdays today... high school pal Gil Zavala (with his Mary) HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIL!!

Finally got out there to mow. The front yard and the back. Emptied and cleaned the 4 water tubs I leave out for the critters in the summer. Fixed the hose in the backyard. Pulled weeds til my back was 
 screamin'!!!!
 
 
 
Dinner was mini won ton tacos ....

Cook the ground beef with taco seasoning...
Heat oven to 425º.
Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray, open the won tons and place one in each hole. Add in a little of the ground meat, some salsa, and cheese.

Bake for 5 minutes....

Then I added a pinch of lettuce to each and a dollop of sour cream.

OMGOOOOOD!!!!! Perfect. Now I am going to  make other things with the won tons!!! My imagination is going wild!
 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.

May 7th
National Day of Prayer

 
Of course OVamit will have his say, which will be filled with lies! He and his Dems tried to change it....  "The constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer was unsuccessfully challenged in court by the Freedom From Religion Foundation after their first attempt was unanimously dismissed by a federal appellate court in April 2011."
... and speaking of OVamit....you need to read this:

Obama Muslim Roots. Obama Muslim Father. Obama Muslim Extremist Sympathizer............... and this was from 2011............. how come we didn't hear about this???

Disgusting that Obama's family is so closely tied to radical Islam and terrorists! No wonder he wrote in his book when there is trouble he would always stand with the Muslims. That's not exactly the quote but, that's pretty much what he said. No wonder he's always putting down Christians! I am still wondeering why no one vetted him while he was running for prez!!

After all that hard work yesterday and with your back screaming I'm surprised you still had the energy to create a wonderful looking dish for dinner! Those are so cute!

So happy that Kristen's treatment is working!!

Hugs, XOXO Trisha

Oregon Sue said...

Be sure and let me know what you make. I am thinking some shredded chicken in the won ton, drops of pesto, and CHEESE. xo

Maybe shrimp taco's with shredded cabbage & jalapeño ranch dressing... for a start.

OK, I'm drooling...... ox

Your weather looks wonderful, the clouds look amazing. I can see how tall the grass is in the barn picture. You have your work "cut" out for you.
So, so happy to hear that Kristen's counts are coming down. Yay!!!
The wonton tacos would make an awesome appetizer for a group. Great idea! Keep those recipes coming.

Just in case I don't remember to say it before Sunday, Happy Mother's Day!!

Love, Gail

Oregon Sue said...

At least I don't have to mow the 15 acres... I hire a guy with a brush-hog to do it. Yes, these won ton thingys would make great appetizers. Cooking time is short. Even at room temp they are good.

Happy Mother's Day to you too!!! Thanks Gail. xoxo

Halleluiah for Kristen!

I like won tons served with guacamole. Try it.

Did you know Obama also attended Catholic school? His mother seemed intent on exposing him to all faiths with no importance other than if you perceive something to be prejudiced against- it doesn't matter if there is an actual injustice or not.

His mother screwed up big time having a child with OVamit's father!
