Do You Remember Where You Were?

I was at a Women's Bible Study on the morning of 9/11/01. It started at 9:00 est, so we had really just gotten started and someone came in to tell our teacher what was happening. Immediately we went into prayer and then they were broadcasting it over the big screens in the sanctuary, so we went in to see what was going on. Mari Cate was just 2 years old, so she was in the nursery and Conner was at 1/2 day Kindergarten. I can remember all I was thinking was I want to get my babies with me and make sure that they are safe. However, I did go home and let Conner stay at school with much hesistancy. I remember it was a gorgeous day with a bright blue sky as I drove to pick him up at noon and felt so much better to have him with me. I also remember looking in the skies and wondering if I would see any military planes flying over, which we did sometimes during the next few days. It was an eerie feeling. Frank was still working for the police department then, so he was pretty much on standby 24 hours/day over the next few days. I couldn't wait for him to get home either though. Funny how you can remember vivid details about some events that happen in your life and nothing about others. Do you remember where you were or what you were doing?

Remember to say a prayer for those families that lost loved ones during the tragedy and remember to thank God for the men and women who risked their lives to help the others.

Homemade Cheesy Chicken Noodle Soup

This is wonderful recipe, especially once it starts getting cooler.  I guess some of you are in places where that is already happening.  Actually I guess it is starting to get cooler here too...we're down to the lower 80's now...I am really ready for 60's and 70's though...those are about my favorite temperatures of all!

So I do my recipe by heart and everything may not be exacts, but it is not something you can mess up too badly I don't think : ).

1 lb. chicken boiled and cut up into small pieces (I used boneless skinless breasts most of the time...just makes it easier and less time consuming)

Stock from the boiled chicken (if you don't have enough just add a can of chicken broth or if you don't have any use 2 cans of chicken broth)

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

1 cup of Milk

1 small package of Mexican Velveeta cut up in to small pieces for melting (this can be omitted for regular chicken noodle soup)

1 package of medium or large egg noodles

Boil chicken and save broth for the liquid.  I season my chicken while it is cooking with seasoned salt and pepper (you can do this to your liking).  Put the chicken aside to cool, cutting into small pieces after cooled.  In the broth, add your cream of chicken soup and milk and cut up Velveeta.  After this has blended well, add your noodles and cook until noodles are done.  Add you chicken and continue heating on low.

I usually cook this on the stove instead of the crock pot.  However, I do move it to my crock pot when I am taking it somewhere usually.  Haven't tried cooking it in the crock pot with the noodles having to cook, so if anyone tries, let me know the outcome!!  Enjoy!
