Trying to Find Normal...





I took a basic dough that I liked then added homemade apricot jam, vanilla, oatmeal, craisins, raisins, cherries, pecans and Raisin Bran cereal. I wouldn’t even begin to know what to call them Crispy...fruity...nutty...pretty darn tasty...with a coffee of course. You never know what you'll come up with if you experiment! 

 Happy 10 year Anniversary to Tim & our daughter, Crystal!
We love them Over the Moon...

Aren't you surprised I've not added one hundred MORE photos for you to go through??Hahaaa...Well, since I really don't have photo subject matter worth shooting... and since times are crazy with the Covid19 virus making it's rounds, I thought I'd go easy on you.
I pray you all are safe from it...
I think the experts are telling everyone to:

"Sit In Your Kitchen and Bake Something"

Yes, I double checked that...truth right there...Lolol
Love you guys dearly...



And... Thank you Sallygirl...hug

A Fun Filled Jan-Feb...


Our William came home from the Air Force...Arizona, for a visit!

I bought a new mixer to replace my Kitchen Aid...Bosch Universal 800 and I LOVE IT!!

I made strawberry cupcakes...


I added bell pepper to hamburger...put on cookie sheet then froze them...popped into a plastic bag.


I made Italian sesame bread


Chocolate chip Peanut butter & walnut...


Diced up 20 pounds of onions for the freezer...Haha...Larry took over for a minute so I could take a breather!  Onions!

Boiled potatoes, let cool then sliced up for freezing...

So easy to do!
The bread...

Chocolate Chocolate Chip...

The Kitchen Sink cookies...

WHAT??? Hahaaa...'ya gotta laugh...

Made dishwasher soap...

Made laundry soap (My old Tide box of powder now cost $18.00!)  No Thanks!  This works just fine!





The onions...

It SNOWED a little this year...


French toast with lemon juice and powdered sugar...




Well?  Did you make it through all the photos?Hahaa...I can't say it's been busy...but, yeah...it was. 
Larry's Dad had his surgery in January.  He did great!  (Thanks for the prayers!)  He's now here in town at a nursing facility where they do rehab. He can't go home unless he's up...walking unassisted.  He's been a bit of a pill but I think he's starting to get things in gear.

Meanwhile...two days after his surgery...and we were parked in a Houston RV park...it was cold...rainy...I came down with pneumonia...and yes, Larry took me to an urgent care facility buttt...the nitwit child doctor told me I had sinusitis ...even after I told him I had fever daily...nightly...99.8  to 103...bad cough...but he diagnosed me by just looking at me...Nurses' opinion didn't matter to him, and no...I didn't tell him I was LVN....(he knew best...I once worked for a doctor that couldn't diagnose ringworm...No, seriously...he hadn't a clue...he didn't listen to me either...child ended up in the ER several weeks later.)  We left there and Larry said "to heck with this, I'm taking you home!"
So...he drove our car (rv toad) to my doctor's office (three hours back to Waco)  and my doc took one look at me...ordered a chest x-ray...came back and said "yep...pneumonia".
I was down a total of two months...finally stopped coughing the last of February.  
Larry ended up driving back to Houston to be with his Dad and I stayed home. 
SO...that's it for me...How'd your Winter go?lol
