A Big Difference…

There has been a difference in my sister’s attitude lately, which is great!  She’s gone from feeling desolate to feeling hopeful.  You can see it in her photo.  And no, she doesn’t mind the photos.  She says maybe her story will help someone else.  The look on her face in the first shot just grabbed my heart…We think she’s beginning to come around to the fact that it’s going to be a long battle and she needs to get on board...and the Zoloft has helped, as well.

She just had a birthday on Wednesday…76th.
For her special day, she wanted to eat burritos…so, I carried her to a little place she likes to order from, to take home.  I ordered four burritos with a small bag of chips and a small cup of salsa.  Two for her and two for me and my husband, Larry.  Hers were potato, egg, bacon and avocado.  Mine were potato, bacon, cheese, and egg…The man handed me the small bag with all that I had ordered.  He says, “that’ll be $48.65…😳😳😳 Then, after I picked my chin up off the floorboard…I said, “HOW MUCH???”
Long story short, I apologized for being rude, but the amount shocked me.  Then he also apologized for having gone up on his prices.  I gave my sister a stunned look, shifted the car into drive and, holding onto the bag of gold…off we went.
I’ve not been shocked like that in years.  Almost $50 for BURRITOS?
I’m still upset…Ruth Ann was bewildered.  Just a few weeks ago she’d ordered burritos and it was about $15…. for two, with salsa and chips.
Can you say recession?  And gouging??





Much better!



I made bread…


Our little SloaneyGirl turned 6months old on Wednesday, as well. 💗🎀💗




We enjoyed sweet potatoes for lunch…


This is a yummy recipe for tomato sauce!  We add cooked hamburger meat.



I made a cherry cobbler…


SO good served hot with cream!


Any takers?? Lolol
