Well, I haven't done a blog in a long time....but I figured I would get back on the blogging bandwagon to keep everyone up to date on all that is going on with the Burells. (If you really want to know :-))
It is Easter weekend and the sun has just finally shown itself at almost 6 PM. Isn't that always the way it goes? Hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow. After church we are hoping to have an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. Gene is cutting the grass now, so they don't have to hunt eggs in a jungle of weeds.
I just got done grocery shopping. I usually go on Sundays, but I went today since tomorrow is Easter. I saved about $60 combining coupons with sales. I am trying to be a good couponer, but I'm just not as good as the people I read about. I guess $60 a week (which is about my average) is over $3000 a year. That is pretty good savings! :-) But I am going to keep working to get better. Southern Savers really helps and does a lot of the work for me. Thank you Southern Savers!
Yesterday was my nephew's Birthday. Gene and I were both off work, so we decided to make the most of our drive to Warner Robins. We started out in Fort Valley at Lane Packing Company. We ate lunch there (which wasn't all that great) and then we went out to pick strawberries. If you have never picked strawberries, it is a lot of fun. The pretty ones just BEG to be picked. We ended up with 8 lbs of strawberries!!

After paying for our strawberries and some pecans, we went to the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins. Gene and Patrick love history and they had a blast. Morgan and I were interested for about the first 100 planes...and then we kind of got bored.... We ended up spending about 3 hours there before heading to the birthday party.
Today I am making a strawberry pie with some of those strawberries we picked yesterday. Because Gene and Patrick don't like strawberries, I am making them banana pudding. Yum! :-)
I was planning on cooking a Chicken in the crockpot for dinner...but I am having one of those days...and I forgot to plug in the crockpot! So our chicken...isn't going to be ready until about 10 PM... We are having grilled chicken tenderloins instead.
I am on a mission to try to include new recipes every week into our menu. If you have some recipe ideas, send them my way :-). I am getting a lot of new ones from Southern Plate.
We are also having an impromptu bon fire tonight. Gene has a lot of wood that he cut up in the yard and wants to burn it off. So we invited the neighbors over for Smores. Should be fun.
Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!!!
