Good Morning friends...It's time to check in with you. It's been a busy few days here. First of all, Larry (hubby) made English muffins! He's so handy that way. They are wonderful and not filled with all those harmful ingredients you can't even pronounce the names of...
He just follows the recipe and goes for it. Buttered and toasted, spells, wonderful!
Here we are leaving Hubby's Ultrasound appointment. Results were back within two days...yes, as the doctor thought, he has cholecystitis, in layman's terms, gall stones. SO...our doctor wants to refer him to a surgeon...well...my response to that suggestion is an emphatic, no.
I know, in my heart, surgery will always be the last resort! It should never be the first. He's had only one bout with pain. I've done a lot of research and feel he needs bile salts...which increases bile which breaks down gall stones which are made out of cholesterol...simplest explanation. We will try the natural way, First! Also starting a Keto lifestyle...It's no longer considered a Diet when saving the gallbladder is in order.
Now who might this be?? Lolol, you knew our SloaneyGirl would be in my post, somewhere!
We left Waco and headed for Marlin, Texas, for a little Mexican fare. I graduated nursing school at Torbett-Hutchensen hospital back in 1976 and couldn't remember what was at this location, if anything so...reading Linda's blog, I saw it was open for business...so we headed that way. By the time we'd finished eating, I remembered I hadn't taken a photo of our food!lol...sorry, but we were hungry!
Then, we headed West onto hwy 7 heading to Green's sausage house. We buy a lot of our meat there.
Back home in record time...time enough for me to head out to my sister's house to visit with our Candy! Ruth Ann says, "Not for another week", so...we wait. She recognizes me now and can't wait to play. That's her sister at her elbow...a little black one. Also a little brother lounging in the background... I wish I could take them all home!
Afternoon early supper...chicken thighs.
We bought a new kitchen sink faucet at Lowes...here's Larry doing his Plumber Thing, installing it...so glad to have married a plumber! Has saved us thousands of dollars...No Larry! You can't have pie as payment!lol
Love the new design...$215.00 tax included at Lowes..Just think what the plumber would have cost, in addition! I'm blessed and I know it.
And yes...I made Cinnamon rolls before we knew about Larry's ultrasound results. But, he can still have one as a treat, occasionally.
They were pretty darn tasty!
Did you know, if you coated your bacon in flour, it absorbs grease and becomes crisper? I tried it and we love it! And yes, Larry can eat fatty meats...fat helps produce more bile! Which is what you want. What you don't want are foods high in carbs.
Very Good and crunchy!
Well...that's about all for me today...Hope you all are happy and safe, which brings me to the saddest of all my news.
This man is Antonio Juan Martinez. He has been with our company for over 35 years...One of the sweetest souls you'd ever want to meet. He was our Warehouse Manager. He had just turned 70 in January. Looking forward to a happy retirement. I remember the day I took this photo...he was always joking and laughing...just a sweet spirit...we loved him...part of the Staas family.
Tony and his wife Felipa, 59, were killed, Sunday night, by Felipa's son, Matias Saucedo, 25...he stabbed them both to death over an argument about a window unit air conditioner Matias had taken and pawned...for drugs.
Tony and the son were arguing about it when the mother stepped in to try to stop the fight, when her son (previous marriage) stabbed them both...just because he wanted her dead , as well, he told the police at the scene.
Tony died at the scene and Felipa later died at the hospital.
We are heartbroken...
Tell your family every chance you get, that you love them...without fail!
Sorry for the sad ending...Until next time...
