a quick hello and what to make for dinner

Hi Friends!  Happy Monday!  I've been feeling overwhelmed lately and when I have too much to do, blogging is one of the first things to go.  I actually just stopped in today to share a few pictures from Steve's birthday celebration (oddly, neither of them are of Steve), and maybe a recipe.  We are preparing for a visitor marathon that begins later this week and runs through the end of the month.  So... see you in October? Deal.  

Last week I tried a new recipe for Honey Soy Chicken Breasts and it was so, so good.  And really easy. We ate these with salad and leftover cornbread and it felt like a gourmet meal.  This week, I'm trying Shredded Beef Tacos and I'm already excited about it.  I just finished the fish tacos from last week for lunch today.  Um, so we eat a lot of tacos.  But with different fillings!  Also, who cares?  I like tacos.  

Today, I am cutting leather for a big round of zipper pouches, catching up on the laundry, and refreshing my stock of world map bow ties- we keep selling out, which is a great problem to have!
