HAPPY SATURDAY!

I watched an old film yesterday, and I simply love all the songs in.  It's called, "Mary Poppins".  Funny thing is I happen to find a blooper on U Tube of this movie, but I think it was kind of made on purpose.  I will say one thing for this movie, it was definitely well casted.  Everyone was just so perfect for their part.  The songs were phenominal.  Julie Andrews has to be one of my favorite actresses in a musical.  I also started watching, "The Sound of Music", didn't quite finish that one though.  When I get on a roll, I get on a roll!  

Without further ado, here's that blooper I found I wanted to share with you!

My question is: Do  you have a black sheep in your family and how do you deal with tough love?

I have four children (all adults), and naturally there's always one black sheep in every family I'm told.  I have one, my youngest son who ALWAYS has drama in his life, and runs to Mommy when he needs help to fix it, which is every time he's in trouble, which is non-stop.  It gives me a headache, and always makes me feel bad like I'm his mom, and I have to help him.  I'm trying to practice the tough love, but sometimes it just isn't within me to do it.  How do you handle it?  THANKS FOR STOPPING BY & HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Wordless Wednesday - I HATE TRAFFIC!

I went into the city yesterday to go to cemetary to put flowers on my mother's gravesite, and my daughter and grandsons went with me.  It was a beautiful day, but for me it takes me an hour there and an hour back fighting traffic all the way, and this is when it let up a bit.

Ahhh, Almost HOME!  I love my town.  It's no cement jungle that's for sure.  Have a great day everyone!

Pork Tenderloin in Slow Cooker! mmm

My poor husband is getting two teeth pulled tonight, so I thought I'd make him a really good dinner before he leaves considering he probably won't be able to chew well for a few days. I have been experimenting with my Crock Pot lately. I use to have this really small one that never gave me much interest in cooking with it, but I dropped it one year at a party/picnic I had & it broke. I felt so bad that my husband went out & bought me a really nice Rival Crock Pot Stoneware Slow Cooker that was bigger. I love it, and it's easy to clean.

The Beginning.

mmmmmmmm Smells good!

Ingredients

• 1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup red wine
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with the contents of the soup packet. Pour water, wine, and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat. Carefully spread garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast during cooking as possible. Sprinkle with pepper, cover, and cook on low setting for 4 hours. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus.

*How did I find this recipe you ask? Well, of course silly I googled it! I picked http://allrecipes.com. They have everything on there website including a place you can make a recipe box. Very convenient. Check it out.

Well, here ya go! The Finish!

mmmmmmm Looking good, and it sure tasted good too! mmmmmmm

Sunday Stealing

Today I ripped this meme off a blogger named Steph at the blog Glitterbabe, and she ripped it off from a blogger named Haruechan at the blog Haruechan's Journal. She states that she took it from diek09. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!
