Janice - An Amazing Woman

It was nice to find that Rachel had made it to her destination. We traveled up to Bountiful so that Jeffrey could meet with his brother Mike and do some legal work on the Trust his mom had left. It is wonderful and a little compelling to visit with Mike and Carol as their lives have changed so much in three years. I am never sure how they are going to be and what new changes have happened in their lives.

It was good to visit for a bit. And then we headed down to Provo. When we hauled our suitcases upstairs, it was evident that Janice had been hard at work and made many preparations for everyone to come. 

Beds and mattresses were set up in the playroom upstairs

Every spare bed was made up and had a bottle of water next to it - also a jar of mints.

In the bathroom, Janice had toiletries and spare of whatever could have been forgotten. She and her daughter in law made meals in advance and a really cool breakfast burrito that could be microwaved for 2 minutes and eaten. 

Watching was a treat and got me thinking about having lots of people over for an event.  I just had to get the recipe because that sure looks like a winner with a big crowd. Well not one for the Sacramento Adams (waffles, eggless and dairy less muffins), but for the rest.....

Sausage Breakfast Burritos

3 tablespoons butter

12 eggs

3 heaping tablespoons sour cream

1 ½ tablespoons water

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lb. pork sausage, cooked and drained

½ cup chunky salsa

2 cups Pepper Jack cheese, shredded

10-12 lg. flour tortillas

 

In a large skillet, melt butter.  Beat eggs, sour cream, water, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.  Cook eggs in butter over low heat.

 

In a large bowl, gently combine cooked eggs, cheese, salsa, and sausage.

 

Place a large spoon full or two of mixture onto a tortilla to make burritos, folding in the ends and rolling up. 

 

Wrap each burrito in a paper towel and store in a freezer bag in the freezer. 

 

Microwave frozen paper towel wrapped burrito for about two minutes. 

More on Janice - 

I noted she kept answering questions of every type and made sure the church was decorated as well as calling about heat and water over at Beverly's condo with the crowd staying there. She catered the family meal and went over early to set up. There were several different events happening at the church and she seem to be coordinating on those too. She kept track of who was where and who needed a ride and who would be left behind. I got a text telling me everyone was gone and she was going over to the condo while I was ironing table clothes and runners. 

What happened the Monday after we all left? Did she collapse with exhaustion or just sigh in relief that the load had been lifted......well not entirely as she and Greg are still heavily involved with the Condo and things that are left over.

We are all indebted to Greg and Janice (with an emphasis on Janice) for the long term care provide to Duke and Beverly for so many, many years.
