A quick little update

Another package from my SS! Thank you so much! I thought I would find out who my SS is, but the not doesn't say. I can't wait to find out she has been very, very good to me.
Look what my Mom stitched and framed for me!!! I just love it!

I did manage to get another baby blanket done for another baby shower coming up soon.
Blueberry Streusel Cobbler
This is a good one, even if you mess up the recipe like I did. LOL!
Blueberry Streusel Cobbler
1 pint fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk, 3/4 cup & 2 TBS cold butter, 2 C biscuit baking mix, divided, 1/2 cup brown sugar. Vanilla Ice Cream.
Preheat oven 325.
In bowl, combine blueberries and condensed milk.
In large bowl, cut 3/4 C butter into 1 1/2 C biscuit mix until crumbly; add blueberry mixture. Spread in greased 9 inch square baking pan.
In small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 C biscuit mix and sugar; cut in remaining 2 TBS butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over cobbler.
Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and blueberry sauce. Refrigerate leftovers.
Blueberry Sauce: In saucepan, combine 1/2 C sugar, 1 TBS cornstarch, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Gradually add 1/2 C water. Cook and stir until thickened. Stir in 1 pint blueberries; cook and stir until hot.

Other things going on in my life. Had another funeral to attend. It was Bob's childhood friend's Dad. They had a nice service, I didn't even know the man, but I cried through the whole thing.
Kayden-when he laughs sometimes he will push out his belly, it is so cute. And when you ask him where something is and he doesn't know, he will put his hands up and move them around. Gracie has been working out good for watching Kayden, but he still cries when I leave the house, it just breaks my heart. I was hoping having someone come in to the house to watch him, it would be easier on him, but when I am home he is (most of the time) right by me, if I move he will chase me down.
Work is going great. We are leaving the house around 7 am and returning around 7 pm. Busy, busy, busy! And working all weekend. I did get last Tuesday off, but no stitching, did a little cooking, made the baby blanket, cleaned house and ordered things for the ILCS retreat. No pictures of the retaining wall yet, the home owners are on a two week vacation and didn't want any work done while they were gone. Until next time, which I don't know when I will have time to blog again.
