Nutrition = Enchiladas?

Good morning, friends.  Hope you are doing well...no sickness or troubles.  I know that may not be the case but know that God's Got This, and there's nothing He can't handle. 
 This is the way Ruth Ann, Laura and I, need to look at things.  Ruth Ann and I had another little argument yesterday...The insurance is giving her the run-around about going into a rehab for strength building and nutrition...I told her enchiladas didn't qualify as a nutritious meal...I think that started her engine...so when I asked her if she'd been using her treadmill for strength building in her legs, she blew up.  Yes, I'm a nurse...but no, I've never worked in phycology and very little in geriatrics.  I was in OB/GYN for years. I don't want her to get upset but then again, maybe a little "charge" once in a while might help motivate her?  I don't know...If any of you have any ideas, they'd be much appreciated.  I also know that it's hard to give advice when you're not in a situation so don't worry about it...we'll get things worked out.


Ruth Ann in younger days...helping now ex hubby work on his Porche.


This is how Laura, Ruth Ann and me, feel these days...lol


I made time to bake some banana bread.  Turned out really good...served hot with butter.


Breakfast...


Sam took our Sloane to her cousin's One Year birthday party the other day...Lolol...Sloane is at that "aware and reactive" stage.  Arlis (baby cousin) tried pinching Sloane...so she reacted by trying to grab his arm, rather aggressively, letting him know she wasn't putting up with any rough play. Lol...good girl!


Lordy, she has us wrapped around her little finger.


I was cleaning out my closet over the weekend when I came across my mother's, now vintage Squash Blossom jewelry.  A choker, necklace...rings.  She passed away in '96...you'd think I'd have already stowed things away...  All are now safely put away into our floor safe.  


This is my grandfather...(mom's Dad)  He was 1/2 Cherokee Indian.  As a little girl, I remember him and my great grandmother coming for a visit.  Full blooded Cherokee...beautiful black braids and some of the native dress on.  Funny how a five year old can remember these things... 


Here's a good rice pudding recipe, if you are so inclined...


And our lovely Samantha and hubby, Everett.  Excellent parents of our SloaneyGirl.  
Hope you enjoy a beautiful day...until next time...
