September 21, 2019 thought for the day:  Pay what you owe and you will know what you are worth. Mexican Proverb

It has been a beautiful day. I slept until the sun woke me, or, maybe the sound of the twins upstairs as they began stirring.

I opened all the blinds and curtains, tended to the dogs and checked the virtual visits before I took off for Kroger. I needed to make the trip because we were out of dog food and we have a pot luck at church tomorrow. I needed to decide and get whatever I wanted to take. I didn’t want to take the time to cook so I got ready made.

I stopped at the dollar store for some mouse proof containers. We don’t have any evidence of mice right now but fall is coming and they may find their way into our nice warm house.

I worked on cleaning out the frig and loading the dish washer, bleached the sink, and wet Swiffered the powder room and kitchen floor. All of that out of the way, started time to think about what I wanted to make for dinner.

Sue took the twins home shortly after I got back from the store. It was so good seeing them. We went a week without them while Sue was recovering from pneumonia.

Yesterday’s photo challenge was T. Guess what my choice of shots was ?

The word is awe. Gratitude bestows reverence.....changing forever how we experience life and the world, John Milton. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. Benjamin Franklin. Well done is better than well said, Benjamin Franklin. Who is wise? He that learns from everyone, Benjamin Franklin.  I begin to see an object when I cease to understand it, Henry David Thoreau. The shudder of awe is humanity's highest faculty, Even though this world is forever altering its values. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.  Close your eyes and you will see, Joseph Joubert.  One more, Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd, And now a bubble burst, and now a world, Alexander Pope. 

I always appreciate seeing what can be done for the underprivileged. Ohio State does so many good things for the community and here is another new addition. This article talks about a free clinic and how it helps both the recipients and providers. One of the participants is a student at the OSU College of Medicine. She along with students from Ohio Dominican run a Thursday evening clinic. They see 25 to 35 patients in a facility on the OSU North Campus. The patients receive medical, lab and pharmacy, social work services. There are also other mental and physical services available and to be added. Estimated value of the services is approximately $431,000 and costs about $18,000 funded by grants and fund raisers. After BP and other basic procedures the student is joined by physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner. Students learn to consider food, stress and transportation issues for the clients that may be missed in primary care offices.

Today’s photo challenge, U. What to chose, what to chose....my Uggs, under shirt, uniform, utensils, under or umbrella...I shot Uggs, under, utensils and umbrella...chose and post processed umbrella.

I am making creamed chicken on biscuits and boxed scalloped potatoes for dinner. It begins with the usual white sauce, 2 T butter, 2 T flour then I add a can of Swanson Chicken Stock (Broth) and A2 milk to get the thickness I want. I add the chicken I had previously boiled and shredded. I added Knorr’s Chicken Bouillon to strengthen the chicken flavor as needed. The potatoes were boxed mix....Kroger Scalloped Potatoes with creamy sauce...followed directions on the package and added about a cup of Cracker Barrel extra sharp cheese and a splash of white wine. The biscuits was totally the recipe on the back of the Bisquick box.
