Blueberry Season Approaches!

Warm blueberries with a crispy topping is complete heaven in a dish! I have been watching out my window waiting for my blueberries to ripen and my mouth is watering just thinking about the bursting blueberries! I have made this recipe with Splenda, but I have substituted brown sugar or cane sugar, too.  You can use equal amounts of either for the Splenda in the recipe.  You can splurge and put some vanilla bean ice cream on top!  Use the "sugar free" or low-carb varieties if you would wish. Enjoy!

No Routine.

Life currently is "up-in-the-air" on a daily basis.  My plans change with the wind and I never know what the next day may bring.  I work part-time outside the home and I am basically on call.  I am a communication-transportation-specialist, sometimes people are happy to see me and sometimes not. HA!  Typically, I work Saturdays, however, like I said I am on call and will be working the next two days.  That is why my postings have been sporadic.

Well, to be honest there is another reason for the sporadic behavior.  My plans are not always HIS plans.  My husband and I have been dealing with a medical issue since November of last year, and he has been home since mid-March. While home, my husband has decided, or so it seems, that I am now officially his body to use.  We started by building a raised strawberry bed, planting vegetables, tearing the carpet off of the stairs, sanding the railings, staining, painting, etc... He is wearing me out. lol  I am so very happy that he is feeling so much better, but I sometimes have a hard time trying to keep up with him.  Needless to say, my plans are not always HIS plans and I haven't been able to do some things I had planned on doing.

I have been working on my quilt in small parts, but I truly want to take on so many other things.  I have HUGE goals and some day, I will partially accomplish them.

Have a blessed day!
