Hello May...Stormy Weather...The King



Good Morning friends...What a week!
May rolled in with a vengeance, knocking over a tree from our neighbors yard, behind us, landing onto our fence.  It happened sometime in the night (worse time!).  We get up early in the mornings...so, when I went out with our Libby to potty, (I don't have to but she likes it when I do...), I noticed something out of the ordinary, laying in out yard.  Libby saw it the same time I did and started growling.  It was still dark so I shined my flashlight towards the left side of our fence and saw this... 



I just stood there...wondering "what the hell??"
Went inside and told Larry to come see...He did but, we got a better look after daylight.


"He was not amused..."

(See how I did that?  On Coronation Week? lol)
Anyway...our neighbor to the left of us got involved and found out, since it came from the backside neighbor's yard, they were paying for the damages to our fence.  They knew they had gone too long in trimming the tree back.


Yes...we watched the whole thing.  This is my favorite photo of them.  I've always been a bit of an anglophile.  I remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding so long ago.  She would have been a wonderful Queen...but, that's over and Charles is happy with his true love.  I'm all in for true love...


Our Libby being ever vigilant, inspecting Larry's new grill.  Grills are his weakness.  Seems he buys one every six months!  Not really, but it seems so...I don't say a word though.  He's worked hard for years and if we can afford it, why not!  Besides...his grilling skills are amazing.



I made Banana Nut Bread....Larry's favorite.




A silly photo of our precious Sloane that either her mom Samantha created or her grandma Lollie made...either way, Sloane also, "Was not amused!" lolol




I needed to make some more brown sugar...I'd run out.  I refuse to buy it at the store!  Getting high in price so...I bought instead, Grandma's Molasses and made my own (use any brand you want).  So much better tasting than store bought!  It's just white granulated sugar and molasses.  Put sugar in mixing bowl, add molasses until it's as dark as you want it.  That's it!


Truth! lolol


On our weekly outing, we stopped in at our favorite restaurant, Cappuccino's.  A Triumph was sitting out front.  It's been years since we'd seen one.  It was one of the registered few.  Larry was drooling! lolol 


Larry ordered a pecan pancake and I ordered the strawberry crepe...yummy!


This wasn't Me!!lolol

That's about all from me this week.  Hope you all are happy and well, so until next time...
