Sinners, Lunch, Ice Cream...and Surgeries




Good morning, friends!
I'm a little late om this post...it's been a busy week.  Our little Sloane had to have tubes inserted in her ears on Wednesday and my sister had her colonoscopy Thursday...then I kept Sloane yesterday.  I think I'll be taking a tiny break from things today and try to get into a project with my Cricut machine.



I Loved Saturday Night Live...years ago...when Gilda Radner and Steve Martin (he's from Waco; had an Aunt that lived here, and he lived with her) were on.  
Today's SNL??  Awful...





I put together our lunch the other day of grilled chicken kabobs with a sauce I've been using since 1972.  I'll try to get it posted on my cooking blog this week. 




You can also use cubed or strips of beef...both are great.



Larry treated us to breakfast Tuesday, at Rosa's Cafe.  It's always good.




I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker.  I love it.  No pre-freezing of the bowl...just throw your ingredients in and turn it on.  We are an ice cream lover family, and this machine made my life so much simpler.  Done in 60 minutes!
Found it on Amazon...



After the machine has worked its magic, put it in a bowl, pop the lid on and put in the freezer.  This was double chocolate...wonderful.



Larry grilled up some chicken thighs and made the best white cheddar macaroni!  Sloane was with us, and she ate every bite!




Sweet Sloane, playing with her "twins"...Lol...yes...she now carries both of her baby dolls everywhere.  They were getting their bath in the photo above...smile.



You can tell she feels so much better since the surgery...such a happy baby again.




My sister, Ruth Ann's procedure went well!   The surgeon found a small polyp and removed it...said it wasn't cancerous.  She now qualifies for re-attachment surgery!  She is so sick of the bag...brighter days are hopefully coming!






Had me fooled for a second! Lol




In all of this atrocious heat, (105-110F), I was watering the other morning when I spied blooms on my ornamental pear tree!!  Unbelievable!!  I was so happy to see them...I guess this species blooms in the Fall?  No clue.  But!!  Cooler temps are on the way!!  101F today but starting tomorrow, 96F for the high then it starts dipping down into the 80F's!!  We are so happy about that bit of news!
Well, I suppose that's it for me...nothing very entertaining but just one of those "get it done" weeks.
So, until next time...be safe, make good choices and...
