A Rather Boring Week...

Good morning Friends...

It's been a quiet week for us.  son-in-love drove to Arkansas to visit with our grandson William, who's in the Air Force.  He loves it there.  Tim also helped guide Will through the truck buying process.  It's used but only about 20,000 miles on it.  $300 a month with his downpayment  (his own money) and trade-in.  It's a nice truck.

Will and Tim

Our sweet grandson, William with his newish ride.  

Then there's the little sweeties...Sloane and little sister Lottie Lynn....

And of course, Granmother Lolli had to drive up for some hugs and kisses.

Did I say we were on the KetoCarnivore diet? lol

It's a little easier to do than the total Carnivore.

And we are still slowly losing weight.

Did you Canners know this?

Went to Miller's for a sandwich (Larry) and a salad (me).  Both were so good!

See the lady in the red t-shirt over Larry's shoulder?  Her name is Bonnie and she and I went to high school together.  Hadn't seen her in... a hundred years!  Her husband Bill has cancer but is holding his own.  

When we were leaving, I went up to her and asked her if she was stalking me...Lolol...after her shock wore off, we had a fun chat.

Eggs, tomato and weenies...the breakfast ones.

Zucchini and chicken

Click on the picture for the link to this prescription company...This company is fairly new, but you can order medications individually!  That a great thing!  I had found a company by the name of JASE.  But you have to order the full case ...usually around $260 or higher...depends on what you order extra.  Don't get me wrong...it's a life saver.  But we don't need anything much except Amoxicillin to keep handy for that nagging sinus infection...etc. Anyway, click on the picture and you can see for yourselves.  A medical doctor reviews your requested medications.  No tele-conference...just put in your State... (not sure about country yet.  (Try it though, they may have international abilities)  answer some questions and you're done.  If approved, which 99% of people are...your medication is on the way.  I got mine in 2 days.  You pay for the med and office visit and delivery.  Anything so I don't have to go into the doctor's office here!  I paid $52 American dollars for one med... delivery and office visit.  Cheap.  Of course, if I really need to visit my doctor, I'd go in.

We drove to Rosebud for some fabric to match my Dresden plate block's medallion.  Found the perfect matches in the blue and dark rose.  All are by Moda.  The medallion isn't red... it's a pretty dusty rose.  Wish I could get a good photo!

Well, that's about it for our rather boring week.  We've both tried to keep busy...me sewing and Larry...?? Lolol

He ran out to his shop several times...?  Now sure what he was up to.

Oh, I got on Amazon and ordered these decals for our two Air Force grandsons.  Tylar is a Master Seargent responsible for the F-17...and William is a Staff Seargent responsible for the F-130 planes.

We are SO proud of them both!

We are an Air Force family.

Okay, now I'm done.  

Hope you all are staying well and out of trouble!  

So... until next time...

 

Fencing...Ramage, Babies, Carnivore Diet

Good morning Friends... Hope you all have had a good week. 

It's been a sad yet happy week for us.  I was called by our friend's daughter to come and sit with our next-door neighbor and friend, Ramage.  We've known him and my best friend and wife, Gwen, (gone almost 3 years now) for almost 50 years.  Anyway, the room was quiet...Ramage was unconscious...and on morphine.  The television was playing Gunsmoke...his favorite show.  I was watching his labored breathing...and it seemed to get more and more laborious.  Still watching...it slowly just stopped.  Nothing.  I got up to feel for a pulse...there was none.  He was gone.  I had just been asking Gweny, his wife in Heaven, to just come and get him!  It was horrible to have to watch him suffer...he didn't deserve this... She must have heard me because about 10 seconds later, he was gone.

God is SO good... There is life on the other side...Our family and friends DO hear us when we talk to them...I've had so many experiences over the years that I never doubt what is right in front of me, and I thank God for the privilege.  

Just have faith...

Moving on to more earthly...news, we finally replaced our side fencing.  It was getting bad, and it was just time.  

Our little Sloane and Lottie...living their best lives!  We love them soooo much.

I found a great little meat market and bought a couple of ribeye's...uggg...I just closed my eyes and paid the man.  They were huge and marbled.  Delicious!  Tender!  If steaks aren't marbled with some fat, throw them back!  That's where you get the tenderness.

Larry and I both have started the Carnivore way of eating, this past Thursday...the 17th.  I'm already down 4 pounds!  I'll take it.  It's a slow but steady loss.  I think 4 pounds in a week is great.  I'm trying to lose 20 lbs... we'll see how it goes. 

If you're curious about the diet, there's tons of videos on YouTube.

Eggs...bacon...and sausage...

Link sausage and scrambled eggs...

Shrimp in the air fryer...

Live your lives and be happy!

"Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again: Rejoice!"

Larry and I are on the way to pick up my 221-1 Featherweight Singer sewing machine from the repairman, Mr Denmark.  It's been almost 3 months! 

 And $174 later...hopefully, it works great!  This is the before photo...crossing my fingers and toes!

Then we head South 32 miles to my favorite fabric shop in Rosebud, Texas.  I need specialty blue and pink. fabric.

SO!

Have a wonderful weekend!  Until next time...
 

Grandmothers and Granddaughters...

Good morning Friends...

My Granddaughter Samantha likes to cook.  A skill I tried to teach to our daughter, Crystal Anne...to no avail.  She was more "tomboy" than Anne of Green Gables.  A sports kinda girl...with no time for a hot stove.  But that's okay...she makes a mean jalapeño popper nowadays.

 

I bought a recipe box a lot of years ago so I could, one day, leave granddaughter Samantha, a "bit of Gamma".  While growing up she came to like different things like catsup on her scrambled eggs...potato soup...strawberry salad, etc., hence, the box.  There is something magical and wonderful about that first granddaughter or grandson, both of which we are blessed to have.  That "first" baby the doctor or nurse places into your arms is so special...an immediate bond forms that can't be explained...you have to have experienced it for yourself.  And throughout your life, you cherish it.  I suppose it's true when they say that you get another shot at raising your own daughter or son...not actually but emotionally.  You would fight to the death for your daughter or son... without thought.  Nothing can replace them in your heart.  But I think grandchildren are God's way of saying these little lives are special and need the love and life only we can give them...so He loans them to us...what a wonderful gift.

I found this pretty recipe box in a bookstore...I think Barnes & Nobel.  I'm putting all of my favorites in it for her.

This card made it's way to my mailbox!  Thank you, Miss Ann!!  She creates the prettiest things!

Well, I broke down and visited Michael's yesterday.  The last time I was there checking out their JoAnn acquisition was a few months ago.  Highly disappointed.  Well, I must say, things have improved.  It's really looking like they are growing their fabric store.  Getting rid of a lot of the children's things. I even punched the "help me" button and a lady carrying a Caramel Frozen Latte appeared and cut my chosen fabric!   She was really nice...but the lady up at the checkout was awful.  No hello...how are you...let me help...nothing...So, I smiled and asked Her how She was doing...fine, was the flat response.  I think I made her mad that she had to work.  I refuse to use the self-checkouts and that started her bad attitude.  Anyone ever do you that way?  She's always "angry" though.  I'm not sure how to deal with it anymore.

Air Fryer pork ribs and zucchini

A yummy Cinnamon Roll...

Homemade Banana Pudding

Larry made Hamburger steaks with mushroom sauce and green beans and potatoes.

Egg omelet with sausage and cheese.

I saw this on someone's blog but can't remember who's!

Exactly how I feel sometimes! lolol...

So... Thanks for visiting me!  I hope and pray you all are doing well and are enjoying better days...

So... until next time...
