Good morning, Friends... I don't think we've really done much of anything this past week. We did celebrate our 52nd Anniversary though. September 26th. Lordy...we were so young! Me 21, Larry 24.
I still remember laying on our sofa in our tiny apartment at The Villa Victoria in Waco, Texas...and asking him, "Where do you think we'll be in 50 years?"
He said, "Still in love..."
It's been a road well-traveled. We've had our ups and downs, like everyone else but we're still here...still together...and, still in love.
Larry and Tom were best buds having met in the Air Force.
Tom's wife always seemed to be the picture taker! lol
But here she is (Beverly) today...Thank goodness we're all still around. lol
Tom is now 80 and Bev is 78.
We went to the Cotton Patch for the anniversary lunch...we never tire of chicken fried steak.
Here's a recipe I want to try! Have you ever made this? Looks like a good recipe for Christmas.
Larry made me a potpourri box and
a Tuna can juice drainer! Two different kinds...one that fits just inside the can and one that fits in the can and also, you can turn it over and drain liquids off the veggie cans. He does these things on his 3-D Printer. They worked like a charm!
I also made some vanilla cookies with pecans...
This is truly the state of affairs in our Congress!
My favorite photo of our Sloane...too funny. She wore that box until it broke! lol
Well guys, guess I'll stop boring you. Here's praying you all are safe and well... (we just lost our neighbor of 50 years. He was 87). SO... stay well, see your doctors...drink that water... and love those close to you because you never know when our time is up.
So... on that positively, negative note...lolol... until next time...

Happy anniversary!!! You all look wonderful, smiles. My mom used to make those coconut bars. Thanks for the photo of Sloane, she always brightens my day.
Happy Anniversary you two! You both look great! Rich and I were 20 and 21 when we got married! That was way way too young but I it's been almost 48 years for us so I guess it worked out! I've made a version of those coconut bars before. They are deadly delicious! Sloan and her "hat" is just too cute! Take care my friend!
Happy anniversary! Sloane in the cardboard hat made me smile. And the 'which side?' joke made me laugh out loud!
Happy anniversary to you both. Those coconut bars look fantastic, we'll have to try them. Have a good week.
Happy Anniversary Donna! 52 years! - that's really special. I love those old treasured photos. And a wonderful photo of you and Larry now. The coconut bar cookies would be a nice gift for Christmas. Those are neat gadgets that Larry made on the printer. Your cookies look so Yummy. I love anything with pecans. I chuckled at the KFC quote, as that was my very first job haha. Good morning, little Sloane. You're just so cute in that picture.
Happy October Donna!
**those were Betty Crocker sugar cookies with Hershey's chocolate frosting on my post. Easy to make. They came out a bit flat, but they were soooo good. My son just made some Parisian crepes that I'll post Monday. They turned out incredible.
Happy Anniversary! We are at 43!
I enjoyed the photos
Larry is a whiz with that 3D printer!
All the best to you both and congratulations on your anniversary. Growing old together is one of the most beautiful gifts :-))
Your cookies look wonderful. I only ever bake cookies around Christmas time, but these ones with pecans make me want them.
The photo of Sloane is amazing!!! Kind regards from Viola
Happy Anniversary to you both.
Those things Larry made with his 3D printer are absolutely amazing. The picture of Sloane made me smile.
First of all, happy anniversary! 52 years is quite an accomplishment. Good for the both of you. Second, where is the recipe for those vanilla pecan cookies, because they look wonderful, and remind me of the pecan cookies that Archway used to put out, but stop making years ago, and I still miss them. Lastly, you gave me a real laugh with that KFC story. Like you, I probably would’ve said the same thing. Too funny! I really needed that today, you have no idea how much.
Very many congratulations on your anniversary... you both look amazing. here's to many more happy years.
The cookies look delicious... forgive me if I steal the recipe and give them a try
Have a wonderful week x
Happy Anniversary to you both. Another milestone. Going through a bin of old pictues and I forget how very young we were too. I was 21, Don 23. The Lord has given us 63 years and counting! Your food always looks so delicious and the vanilla pecan cookies yumm! I love the "Dr. Pepper" hat...what a hoot! How clever the Tuna strainers. Your dearest is so clever.
It was fun to see you sitting together!!
I LOVE you with Larry old and new, young and elder, VERY much! So blessed! I LOVE Sloane and her great hat! She is wonderful! Many greetings and blessings to you now and then and in future from Dori from the Bavarian Forest
Ich LIEBE dich mit Larry, ob alt oder neu, ob jung oder alt, SEHR! So gesegnet! Ich LIEBE Sloane und ihren tollen Hut! Sie ist wunderbar! Viele Grüße und Segen für dich jetzt und in Zukunft von Dori aus dem Bayerischen Wald

Sloan is just adorable! Happy anniversary to you both. Those coconut bars look good. Also believe that congress is a bunch of clowns myself. Janice

Happy Anniversary Donna, a sweet photo of you both, and still in love Larry says. Isn’t that the sweetest memory and so true today. Sloane always makes me smile, she is adorable! All that yummy food! Everyone loves coming to your table I just know it! Larry’s 3-D printing is amazing. That KFC joke was so funny, all the funnies in fact. Loved the old photos. Loved this post! Thanks Donna and have a great week. Happy October!
Loved your funnies. Happy anniversary too.
Congratulations of your Wedding Anniversary, well done.
Love Sloane's hat, guess she did too.
First of all, many congratulations to you both and every good wish for the future. So good to hear a happy marriage story.
Wow Larry has made some great things on his 3D machine, really useful.
Ha ha, love the clowns and yes I can think of a few over here.
Have a great week x
Donna - congratulations to both you and Larry - wow 52 years - you r photos of you both are wonderful. How quickly the years fly by. What a testimony to a love that lasts a lifetime. Your KFC had me scratching my head...then it had me smiling and yes the photo of congress is quite appropriate. Love that picture of Sloane...she is too cute. Hugs!
Congratulations on your 52 years of marriage. Its a wonderful milestone. We reached 60 last January . Married at 20 and 22..and they said it wouldn't last.
You 2 have a beautiful marriage and I enjoyed seeing the photo of you two together.
Your food always looks so yummy. I have never heard of coconut condensed milk, just the regular kind. they do look delicious too.
The KFC story was too funny and oh my, Larry and his 3D printer do amazing things.
Of course the winner of the whole post is Sloane in her stylish Dr. Pepper Chapeau.

Happy Anniversary, Donna & Larry! 52 years, that's quite something these days. Jos and I will celebrate our 30th in February ...
Larry's definitely a whizz with the 3D printer, I'm loving those clever gadgets! Oh, and Sloane is indeed too funny :-) xxx
Well, my friend, I think if you celebrated 52 years of marriage this last week then you did do something... something very special. Congratulations! And a belated Happy Anniversary. We have also been married for 52 years.
I love it that your husband makes useful things on his 3D printer.
Belated Wedding Anniversary wishes. May you have many more. You're both looking great💗
I sure got a chuckle from the "chicken leg" tale.
Happy 52nd Anniversary. Wishing you many more filled with joy, good health and whatever you desire. May God bless you always and your family.
Happy wedding Anniversary !a big kiss to Sloane 😘 !
A very happy Wedding Anniversary and a big kiss to Sloane 😘
Happy Anniversary and many more. Hugs,
Happy Anniversary! Hope you have many more years together! Nice job on the 3D printer! Useful items!
Oh! My heart swells, and tears flood my eyes. The love you share...the life you both share together, sharing that love and respect, is wonderful. I wish you both all the best that life has to offer. Take very good care. Hugs to you both. :)
Hahaha your KFC story reminded me of the guy named Alexander Shufflebottom who went to the courthouse to have his name legally changed. The judge asked him what he wanted his named changed to and he said, Joe Shufflebottom. Alexander is too long. Hahahhaa ... yes the clown Congress. I get it. Terrifying ... wow those cookies sure look delectable and isn't your Larry something with that 3D printer? What will he come up with next! I need me one of those bandaid blankets for sure. I love that old pic of you and Larry and Tom -- the one where Larry has his left hand on the car. I just noticed, why are your hands in claws? Hahaha I await your answer. xoxo
