What was in your grocery cart today?

Lovin this old brick GROCERY STORE....

Wonder what prices would have been back when this was the new store on the block?

Hope everyone is having a great week end!  I was busy in the kitchen today.  Made a pan of brownies to go along with some freezer meals I had made up for a friend who is a new mommy.   I delivered my bag of goodies and met the cute little miss B.  She is adorable and mom and dad are very pleased with their sweet little girl.

Made it to the gym,,,to work off the brownies I just had to sample before giving some away...and also hit the grocery store.   BBQ chicken pizza made it to the menu for supper as chicken breasts were on sale.
Fired up my little George Foreman grill and got busy grilling up the chicken,,,some to use for the pizza and some to go in the fridge for salad, pasta dish, whatever I decide.  I like when I get organized and have stuff ready to go.

Here are a couple more shots of the grocery store we found in Medicine Hat

Makes you wonder who F. Scudder was?

So, what is your favorite recipe to make for a quick meal?

We could have a blogger recipe swap.

Have a great evening everyone!

What to do....

RED n RUSTIC

By now some of you who use Picnik for editing fun have heard that they are closing!!!  I think they said something like "the ants have invaded"!!  That is sooo disappointing to me!  I know there are other editing programs out there and I will recover, but I found Picnik so user friendly.  Oh well,,,,I guess it is good to keep the ole brain processing new things right!!

So, here is my Mosiac Monday collection, of course done in Picnik!   So my question is does anyone have any other favorite editing programs out there.  How hard is it to use Adobe Photoshop?  Give me the scoop fellow photographer lovers!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Mosaic Monday

Its Monday...time for a mosaic of some pictures that I took out of the window while travelling to BC this Christmas.   I didn't notice until I had the pictures on the computer, how there is just a bit of sunshine coming along the tree line in the first picture.  It was kinda bleak and overcast, but was nice to see the sun trying to peak through.

Wishing you Sunshine in your week ahead!

Happy New Year !!

Hello blogger friends!  I hope you have had a great Christmas with family and friends and that you are all ready for a great 2012!!

I haven't really been doing much on the computer these past few weeks, but with getting back into a bit of a routine I was glad to catch up on visiting some of you.

Tried out another header!!  Super easy to change up, so I hope you like my "winter"shots.  Even though, there is no snow here!!!  It is a pretty brown landscape all over the province and I don't like it!!  Bring on the snow please!  If it is going to be winter, I like seeing lots of the white stuff.   I know there is lots of winter to come yet, so I won't get too excited.

The photo below is one that I took out of the window of the car while travelling to BC this Christmas.  It is taken by Mara Lake.  I love this little bit of the shoreline, it has changed over the years though as the little "mom and pop" cabins have been bought out by larger condo units.  I like the little "mom and pop" cottages better.

Wishing you all a great week and hope you will stop by to let me know what you have been up to.

I think I am ready for Christmas ....

I thought I would show you just a few more things around the house that are ready for the Christmas season,,,before it is time to take them all down.  We will not be having many people in for Christmas this year, but it was still fun to get the house all festive.  I tried to get that perfect tree and mantel shot,,,but I guess I will have to keep practising!

How about you,,,is all the baking, wrapping, and decorating done?  I am now ready to slow down and just enjoy the Christmas music, the quiet evenings and remember the reason we celebrate....a baby born to redeem us.  The best gift ever!!

I love Christmas wreaths and have a number 

of them around the house...

We will be doing some skiing in the mountains this Christmas break

Time to get some packing done for that!

Have a happy Sunday everyone!

Merry Christmas from That Country Place

Homemade with love and lotsa chocolate!!

The calendar is slipping away on me and it was time to get my homemade gifts done!!  I like giving away baking at Christmas time and packaging it up in something pretty.  Tonight I tried a new recipe that I found on Pinterest.  Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels.  They turned out okay but I found they didn't want to stay together??  The chocolate helped to keep the two pretzels together though.  They do taste good and I love chocolate!!

Things just taste better with chocolate!!

The other chocolate treat are called Cuban Lunch

I have been making them for years!

Easy, easy easy!

The bag with the gold bow holds

Mexicali Crunch

Mmmmm,, a nice tall mug of hot chocolate topped off with whipped cream!

How about you, do you have some recipes that always get made in your kitchen.

It is much later than I had thought and it is time to call it a day!

Have a great sleep everyone!!

Its been awhile since doing a Mosaic Monday post, so I thought I would share my quick mosaic of my "New Header"....thank you so much to Robin over at, Happy at Home, for sharing such a quick easy tip with me.  Hope you will stop by Robin's place to check out whats going on in her corner of blogland.    Just create your header using Picnik.....this one worked out fine, so hopefully when I go to change it up again I won't have any problems!!

Merry Christmas from That Country Place
