Lunch With Teresa

I couldn't help but share all the selfies we took of us today.  Teresa was not happy with them and as I looked over them I laughed because we had such a hard time trying to get a good picture of us.  Why are we so critical of ourselves?  I think we listen to the whisperings of Satan too much.  I think Teresa is so beautiful!  We went to Even Steven's again because we kind of really like it. It was so yummy.

Teresa is such a caring person and would give her last dollar to a stranger if she felt like they needed it.  As we talked today I made a promise to Teresa that I hope was inspired. I promised her that she would always have enough since she always was giving and taking care of others.  Right now she is helping her grandson who tried taking his life last weekend.  The only way he survived was because of divine intervention...I am pretty sure he realizes it.  Teresa talked to him very openly and was gracious enough to give him a fresh start.  She took care of his debt that was stressing him out.  It wasn't huge but for a 20 year old it was overwhelming.

I love this friend of mine that I met only four years ago through face book.  She is such a blessing and a wonderful example to me.  I believe our friendship happened with the help of "angels".  We were meant to be friends.  Teresa noticed through face book memories that we also went to lunch last year on this same day.  I guess this day belongs to Teresa.  Oh how I love and adore her!

***Teresa gave me a bag of delicious chocolates!  She had quite a variety and when I stopped by Larry's shop on my way home I shared with everyone including some customers.  I like sharing...it makes me happy!  (I need to keep sharing since my chocolate stash in over flowing)

***I went with Larry tonight to return a tractor to Kevin's house and take back a trailer to the shop.  While we were talking Larry told me that he had mentioned to one of his employees that I was the happiest person he knew.  Having him say that made me extremely happy and it pushes me to keep it up.  I would love being remembered for being a happy person.  ☺

Breakfast ~ What are three staples you always have in your fridge?  Milk, cheese, and tortillas (I could also add eggs) Pantry? Pasta, soups, canned veggies.

Lunch ~ What is one dinner you remember most from you childhood and why? My mom's fried chicken and fried pork chops.  Both of these dishes were so yummy.  My mom was a great cook.  She breaded her chicken with a homemade flour mixture and her pork chops were breaded with cracker crumbs. (I realize I don't stop at one)
Dinner ~ What is one thing you like to know about someone else? I like knowing about their families and I like knowing if they are honest or not. (see I did it again)

Midnight Snack ~ What was the best and worst thing of your week? The best thing was I turned 56! I love celebrating my birthday! I'm glad I'm where I'm at in life.  The worst thing was being so sick.....I don't like being sick and don't have much patience of being slowed down because of it. Another bad thing (oops did it again) is I received a phone call from the guy that is over camp Liberty asking me where I was.  I told him eating with my hubby for my birthday.  He said we were suppose to be at camp this weekend.  I am 100% positive he got it wrong...I would have remembered if I was suppose to be camping on my birthday.  I know without question we scheduled for August 11-13.  We scheduled before the boys and they were able to get the first part of the week.  I guess a Youth Conference group bumped us and now we don't have anywhere to go.  I did my best to just accept that news and roll with the huge punch to the gut.  We will be having a few day camps now instead so that we can still enjoy everything our wonderful camp director has planned for us.

Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?) Eat Chocolate!  If you don't have any come over and I will hook you up!  Chocolate is good for the soul and makes you happy...or at least it does to me!
