The Moving Coffee Cup and Plant Ho!!



I'm loving my Blue Willow dish set...


Good morning...Please don't faint...Yes, you're seeing another blog post from me.  What is wrong?  Nuttin...
I've really been a bad blogger in the last few years.  I really miss this medium, and you.  
Since I retired, I've had to sort through a whole basketful of emotions.  I absolutely hated not working.  It's not been pretty.  When you've worked since you were fifteen and then...nothing and you're sixty seven, it's sort of a shock.  Some people, like my hubby, take to it like a duck after corn.  Maybe it's the combination, empty nest and no job that causes it, I don't know.  Anyway, I'm adjusting slowly but surly, I mean surely...there's light at the end of the tunnel.  'Nuff said.
Had to have a coffee (hubby roast the beans) while creating this magnificent post.  Posting and coffee go hand in hand!
While out putting fresh water in the furrbabies bowl on the patio (you put their water outside so as to entice them to go potty while out there), I spied some Noah's Ark popping up by a tree close to the patio!  We haven't really had many nights below 30*F so I suppose it's going to make it.  There's only 27 more days until Spring...yeah...so we'll see.
Well, guess I'll close for now.  Hopefully, I'll continue to be a good girl, and post more.
Stay warm or cool my friends!

It's Raining and it's Cold...

These are on my "want" list...

But instead...I fixed corn and cream and...


Fried up some fish...

It's a rather dreary day around these parts today. You have to remember this is Texas...If the temp falls below 50 degreesF, we freeze...Hahaa.  Not really but it certainly feels that way!
 I have done absolutely squat today!  I made a pancake breakfast then we had fish for lunch.  That's all we have...breakfast then a lunch.  Suppers just add on pounds so we'll have a piece of fruit or cheese and call it a day.  Although, I do like the occasional spoonful of crunchy peanut butter...
Stay dry my friends!

Baking, Road Trip and Onion Soup...



I made Carrot Cake Cookies for Larry's Valentine...<3 font="">


We had to make a run into town for ice cream... ;o)

Valentine cookies baking...

Larry made me MY Valentine Onion Soup!!! Really good!!


as you can tell... :o)


And just so you know...It's a Water Heater...NOT a HOT water heater...Hahaa...drives me nuts!

Well, it's been a slow but fun month.  My granddaughter took me and her soon to be mother in law to look for her wedding dress in The Woodlands, by Houston, TX.  A place called, Brickhouse Bridals.  They stock over 700 wedding dresses...and no...she didn't try them all on...Lolol.
They give the potential bride six colored clothes' clips.  She then clips them onto any six dresses she wishes to try on.  I saw a dress that I absolutely loved but not for her wedding...I just loved it and asked if she could try it on, just for me...Gamma...they AND Sami said sure!






Needless to say, it was a fun time.  We spent the night at my daughter's house then headed back the next day so Sam could work.  She's a beautician and had clients scheduled.
I can't believe you have to have your appointment for the dress, almost a year in advance!!  Three months before they even call you for your fitting...then almost six months before it's ready for the final fitting!  Geeez...Oh well...it's paid for (CHOKE, COUGH COUGH) and she's thrilled with her choice...WISH I could show you a photo of it BUTTT...bad luck and all that...SO, you'll just have to wait till Dec 7th...2019!
SO...guess I'll be heading off in your directions...Take care and stay warm or cool, where ever you are.  It was 80 degrees here yesterday and today, it's only getting into the high 50's...uggg!
