Oatmeal...The Birds...Big Red Ice Cream...

 Good morning, friends!

We enjoyed a peaceful Independence Day...cooked, walked and rested.  Watched television a bit.  I ran to Walmart but, other than that...nothing.  We didn't even hear any fireworks!  I think that we are now living in the "oldie's" part of town...We have lived here 48 years so I believe we now qualify...as oldies...lol...The young have bought homes elsewhere...



Rolled Oats for breakfast...make it...cut it up then wrap in waxed paper, pop into a Ziploc bag then freeze it. Thaw and heat in the microwave when you want oatmeal for breakfast.  I love to prep meals for future use.



Recipe called for adding cinnamon and brown sugar with pecan bits.  I also added a few raisins.  Heats back up just fine.



I made rice and tomatoes this week...easy...just tomatoes, rice and butter!



If you have mosquitoes, ants or other pest like wasp or scorpions, etc., you need this!  It's a heat pen that kills the venom of the bite!  We LOVE it!  Get bit...apply pen...no more itch!
Get it on Amazon.  It's called, Bite Away.  We bought several for the kids, as well.




Well ladies...I think it's mostly the truth...Lol



I made Big Red Ice Cream on Tuesday.  I've been making this for years!
From the South?  Then you know!! lol




My sweet Libby never leaves my side!  She's asleep in this photo...lol


I love how our beloved and departed Kiki turned out (18yrs old)!  I know she's always around me...Larry surprised me with this one...



Larry smoked a Tri-Tip...Tender and Delicious!



You know, no post of mine would be complete without something about our greatgran Sloane! lol
This was her first Lemon Oreo!  She thoroughly enjoyed it as much as she did the Chocolate Oreo last week!  She had a lunch prior to the cookie of Chicken and applesauce...with green beans.  
She's such a joy to us old folks...



I made this pie...So Delicious!!!
Go to my cooking blog for the whole and easy experience!

See what Larry made me?  Chickens! Lol...I love them! 



He also made me a hummingbird and flower!  I'm really trying to get my potting station fixed up.  It's still a work in progress, but it'll get there.

I pray you are all having a peaceful week...and are well, or at least getting there. It's still early morning here so I best get outside and do some watering.
Until next time...
