Cherish the Moments

I can't believe it's been two weeks since I visited with y'all. If this was a paying job, I would have surely been fired by now. It's not, so I'll say I'm sorry, but I've got a lazy streak.

I used to think it was a cowardly streak, but no, it's just that I get lazy every now and then.

Okay, we celebrated Mother's Day a week early and both my children and all my grand children were present.........

at my house

plus there were extras

plus my Mom

total was 18, I think

I fried lots of chicken

mashed a mountain of potatoes

have you ever tried to make good chicken cream gravy for 18 people?

It certainly took some planning.


It was good, everyone had a wonderful time visiting and eating and all the kids got along with no fighting amongst themselves. That's what I deem a successful family gathering.

Another kinda, sorta adopted grandchild named Shelby Ann

My daughter Johnna, my Mom, and my youngest grandchild, Taylor

Grandpa talking to some of the grand kids,

probably telling them something that 

will get them in trouble.

Sound familiar????

My only daughter either snapping her fingers

or

making the sign of money.

We all had a good time and probably won't all be together again until a wedding or funeral.

It's the Little Things

Good Morning to All,


The sun is shining and has been for a couple of days. That just makes you feel a bit more cheery. I'm not complaining about the rain, cause we've needed it. We're getting more tomorrow. Temperature yesterday was in the 80's, today more of the same. The house felt really stifling last evening, but I won't turn on the air-conditioner until at least the 1st of May. We'll see how today goes, okay?

I just hope we don't get all our rain now and none in May, June, and July.

I'm waiting on my grand daughter to come by and have some quality time with the grandparents. That's what she called it. I said it was out of necessity because she locked herself out of the house. She laughed and said she needed some help with homework, and hinted that I made it more fun. Me????? Ole Grandma making something fun? I'm not sure if that was an attempt at a snow job or not.

I've already run some errands today, you know the kind

where you give money. Yep, and I'm doing laundry, thinking about

what to have for the evening meal.

Mmmmmm, 

Chicken Pot Pie?

Too hot for the oven.

Maybe, Maybe Not.

Chicken Fajitas?

Good Idea

Easy

No muss, no fuss

I think I hear my baby girl pulling up. She called to say she had been cleaning someones house, and was on her way. I love it when the grand kids just drop by to see you, or the kids call unexpectedly just to see what you're doing.

I feel blessed and I thank God.

Until Later,
