Ha Ha, Love It

So was reading Facebook this morning and one of my friends had this posted. It originally was from Donna Chadwick (want to give her credit). Love it.

Enchilada Wednesday

Coach had a doctors appointment today. Fortunately we were able to get there after and before the storms that were passing through the area. I took this picture.

Cool looking but almost a little scary too.

After the appointment we went to lunch at El Fenix. Nothing makes a day better than cheese enchiladas and salsa. To top if off it is enchilada Wednesday and the meal is $4.99. I feel a little better now.

Another Doiley

It is actually raining here today. If my RA is going to "pain" me because of weather at least I want some rain out of it. Had lots of lightening too. Here is another doiley crocheted by my grandma. Love the color on it.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Cannot believe it has been this long since I held that little bundle. Well, an 8lb 13oz and 23 inches long bundle. Here are some pix. Happy Birthday Jonathan, a mother's love never changes no matter what else does.

Kind of some big feet.

Memorial Day

Remember those who have given the last full measure for our country.

We are the land of the free because of the brave.

Grease-a-palousa

Yes we here in Texas like everything fried. This is evident in the fact that at the Great State Fair of Texas in October people have come up with all kinds of foods to fry up. Most of these are things you would never think of frying but hey some of them are actually good. Today we went to The Ponderosa and TJ and Allison fried us up a yummy meal. It all started when I said I would like some wings and just went from there. We had fried wings, fried potatoes, fried dill pickles (so yummy), fried home grown onion rings, and fried mushrooms. They were all so yummy. Then we had a coconut cake for dessert that was out of this world. It was not fried but it could have been. (Have you heard that one of the fried foods at the State Fair of Texas this year is going to be fried Girl Scout Samoa cookies? I watched them make them. Count me in.) It was a fun day of eating and watching the grandgirls play in the swimming pool. Welcome Summer.

Enjoying the spread.

The girls swimming.

Lets see if we can spash all the water out of the pool.

Bumble enjoying the afternoon.

All this playing is hard work.

Squash

This week while I was at The Ponderosa getting ready for Jo's graduation I got some squash. Allison's garden is starting to really get going. She has been making a ton of pickles. The island in the kitchen was covered with squash. She told me to take some, all of it  if I wanted because both the yellow and zucchine are going crazy. Well nothing is better than squash cooked in olive oil with fresh sliced onion, and black olives. Since Coach is not a fan of squash I decided to freeze a bunch of it so I can have it when he thinks he needs a potato or something. Here is this morning's work. I left four squash for Coach to grill tonight when he cooks meat for supper. They are pretty if I do say so myself. Reminds me of summers with Pop and Granny.
