Chairs, Sandwiches, Food...and a little Venting?

Good Morning, friends!

Goodness, the week has flown by!  

Let's see...I ordered Sloane a chair from Amazon,  She's getting to where she likes to look at her books but sits on the floor.  Well, Gamma ain't having that! Lol... She needed a nice comfy chair that doubles as a sleep mat!  The things they come up with these days!

It even has a side pocket for her books...handy!

You remember I told you about the box I made into a little house for Sloane to get into and read or just play?  Well!  Look see who's crawled into it! Lolol

We ate out at our favorite sandwich shop...Schmaltz.

These things are addictive!  The bread is so good...and they're served hot.

I had to run to JoAnn's Fabric store yesterday...when I spied World Market and decided I needed to spend a little time there, as well.  I found this delicious smelling, glass pumpkin candle....Cider and Cinnamon.  

I had a Dirt Devil hand vac that decided to croak after using it for only a few weeks!  Hand vacs are so handy.  I'd ordered it from Amazon for cheap so, sending it back wasn't worth the time or expense. In the trash it went and Larry found this Black & Decker at Walmart.  $49 and some change...it's a little powerhouse!   

Since daughter Crystal was in town, we all (me, Sami and Crystal) decided to take Sloane to a play (romp room) in town.  She had some serious fun!  But we were famished so we stopped for a quick lunch at Chick-Fil-A.

Sloane was all up into that chicken sandwich! lolol

September screams chili, here in Texas!

Then...while reading blogs the other morning, I came across this recipe from Linda's Life Journal .  I only made a few adjustments.  I added cranberries instead of raisins (didn't have any) and added more cream.  I also used cinnamon instead of nutmeg.  It turned out great!  In fact, Larry said he liked it better than the old time recipe!

I let it cool then put it in the refrigerator.  It's also wonderful hot!

We've eaten frito pie for years!  Add all your favorite toppings.

Well, I suppose that's it for me this week.  Oh...and just a tiny aside?  Let me say, right off the bat, that I love all my Blogger Buddies!  Your kindness and love and support is a wonderful thing to behold.  I promise never to mention politics again, though...  

I was reading a blog of one "friend" yesterday.  And out of the blue she starts off with words like "Cheeto-Head...and her husband friends, who were lovely and smart but, voted for Desantis...ridiculing a white church for having to have police surveillance during services...and betted $100 neither Black or Jewish facilities had the same courtesy on Sundays...and she's a English teacher.   (Jews attend Shabbat on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings and afternoons).

Well...the post lit a flame inside of me...it was hurtful to me, as a Conservative.  You never hear me talk about the current administration!  Although there would be all kinds of cruel things I could say...but I see no sense in doing that!  How you vote is your decision... but I don't feel the need to post about my political views.  And I certainly would never insult you!  I follow some very political post that are kind and respectful, on both sides of the aisle.  But they also show me how to keep a garden or how to take a better photograph or how to make a special recipe.  I appreciate everyone who is simply kind and loving.  I don't care about your politics...but insult me?  And others like me?  I don't have time for all that hate...or ignorance.  My family has been through enough negativity this past year...and I just no longer have the strength to listen to such rhetoric.

Okay...rant is over...Thank you for reading this far!

So...until next time...
