Good Morning, Friends...
Well, the month of May is drawing to its close...I must say I'm happy to see it go. Larry and I have had enough sadness. Yesterday, we went to visit our neighbor in the Nursing facility and find out he's been put in Hospice...he didn't know us...and it's only been about a month since we last saw him. We would have gone sooner but with Larry's Dad taking center stage, we just didn't go. And... his daughter (our friend's) is the Admissions head for the facility, and she told us she may have colon cancer... That family has had nothing but sadness, for years.
SO... yes, I'm happy to kick May to the curb.
We went to lunch yesterday at the Fish City Grill. I think the look on Larry's face is exactly how we both feel. We are SO blessed as a family...it's hard to see other's go through so much pain knowing that all you really can do for them is pray....
Okay...enough gloomy Gus...Our little Sloane is all we need to perk us up! These nuggets of love are truly God's gift to us... She had to change into her fluffy skirt play dress.
Our lunch at the fish place...of course we got fish & chips. They were delicious.
I had made breakfast of bell pepper scramble and sausage. The sausage must have contained sugar! Look how brown they got...and only after a few minutes! I had to turn the heat down all the way and put a lid on them.
I don't know what I'd do without my airfryer! This fried chicken had been frozen from a previous meal, thawed (the crust was soggy) then I put into the airfryer. They turned out fresh as the day they were fried! Wonderful!
This looks promising! We loved Downton Abbey...and have been missing the era dramas.
The series will broadcast on UKTV's free streaming platform U and U&DRAMA in the United Kingdom on June 18 and BritBox in North America.
Well, so much for May and all its surprises...Hopefully, June will be a happier month. Our daughter Crystal has a birthday on the 28th...I think I'll start figuring out what to do for her...and I have the next baby blanket (Little Sydney's) at the longarmers so, I need to get the binding made...and the label. That leaves one more for Sloane...the Dresden Plate. Still making the blades for that one...it'll be a while. lol
Sorry about all the doom & gloom...I know life is a beautiful gift for us all. And God certainly knows better than I do, what needs being done...so on that note...
Stay well...happy and safe and we'll see you again soon...

It's not gloom and doom, it's life and May was certainly hard for you. Thankful for those bits of joy the Lord gives us - like Sloane!
I was using my air fryer again yesterday and thought of you and how I appreciate you encouraging me to get one. I use it all the time, so thank you! It was a good purchase.
Could you send me the recipe you use for your chicken? It looks so good and I've not found a great recipe for it yet.
I'll be looking for Outrageous - looks like something I would like!
Life is full or sadness and happiness all rolled into one. I am super greatful for the happy moments!
We carry on, eh? You remind me that it has been a long time since we have had fish & chips, and I swear that my mouth is almost watering, just thinking about it.
Donna, so true what life holds for us each day. So much sadness and I think because of our age (mine and my dearest) many of our friends are passing away. Went to a Memorial Service Sunday for a dear friend. Cancer hate that word. But as one attends a funeral, in a hospital not far away, a new great grandson is born....so life goes on. I am learing to use our air fryer, and LOVE it! Praying you have a happier week with a song in your heart, and a dance in your step. Love and Hugs, Wanda
(((hugs))) Life can be filled with issues and sadness, I'm sorry that May has been so difficult. Thank the Lord you have that precious Sloane to brighten your days.
The photo of Larry is so poignant. It says it all.
Praying for a better week and a better June.

So sorry that May was such a sad month for you. I hope that June brings loads of smiles and happiness.
Sloane is so adorablein her fluffy skirt and her bandaid matches her outfit.
That chicken looks good. I love my air fryer too.
I am so sorry that May was so heartbreaking. You did have lots of sad things happening.
Hopefully June will be brighter.
I am going to copy that blood moon about Jesus - very interesting.
I don't have an air fryer - but everyone loves them.
Slone is so cute in that dress.

I'm so sorry for all of the sadness that May has brought to you and Larry. May you find peace and comfort in the love of our Lord. He is indeed merciful.
That little Sloane would brighten up anyone's day. Such a cutie.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Dresden Plate quilt as you work on it. That and the Log Cabin pattern are my two favorite quilt patterns.
Unfortunately life can be hard. I hope it gets better for you. Those fish and chips looked so good. Of course Sloane is such a cutie too. Janice
May sure has been a difficult month for you. Hopefully June will be a better month. We use our air fryer quite often and now that the heat is arriving we'll use it even more. It's warm today 30C (86F).
I can see why you are glad to see May go! It will only get better from here! I hardly ever use my air fryer and I can't even tell you why! I guess I don't think of it. Love beautiful Sloane picture and she is so cute in her play skirt! XO
Losing loved ones and people we deeply care about is very hard and our grief last as deep as we loved. (which for me is forever in time) Little Sloan reminds me of our great granddaughter...Love the little dress she is sporting. These are the kind of dresses that our Emersyn loves to wear. My tummy is now saying "feed me" after seeing these wonderful food dishes. Continued prayers for you, Larry and the family.
I'm not surprised you are glad to see the back of the month of May! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an infinitely better June! xxx
Sorry to hear May was a very tough month for you. The people we lose is always a heavy weight we carry in our hearts but we must move forward taking our memories of them with us.
Fish and chips is one of my favourite meals. Wishing you a wonderful month of June with lots of happy moments.
Your Sloane is so precious. So sorry to hear about the loved ones who are ill. The fish and chips looked delicious. I hope you will have a happier month of June.
Such is life Donna. Some families do have illnesses one after the other, then all is well. They say things happen in threes, and it's true. You certainly haven't had a good month but the next one will be better, only a few days to go.
It's useful the air fryer and I guess you use yours more than I do.
Oh, sweet friend, it sounds like May has indeed thrown a lot your way, and it's completely understandable to feel that heaviness. My heart goes out to your neighbor and his family; that's truly heartbreaking news. It's in those tough times that little Sloane's joy shines even brighter she truly is a ray of sunshine! Your fish and chips look divine, and that air fryer trick for fried chicken is genius! Here's to a much lighter, brighter, and happier June for you and Larry.
I just shared a new post, I invite you to read and let me know what you think.
I'm sorry to hear that they have had such a rough go and now the daugther with cancer. My goodness.
Food looked good. Fish and chips sounds delish about now.
I'm so sorry you have had such bad times recently ...
Thankfully your beautiful Sloane can always perk you up ...
Sending lots of good wishes to you.
All the best Jan
Just wanted to let you know that I left a reply to your comment you left for me today on my From My Journal post of Monday. xx
I am sorry to hear about your friends. It is tough but we have hope in Jesus! Praying for a much brighter June.
Grace & Peace,
Pam
I'm so sorry to hear about your neighbors, Donna. They are truly going through a difficult time. All the food looks delicious on here, and fried chicken is my favorite. The fish and chips look really good too. I am making breaded fish today. Sloane looks cute in her fluffy blue dress. They sure make us smile. I will see my little ones next week. Scientists always try to analyze everything. Jesus died for our sins, it's the simple truth.
I hope your June days are kind, Donna.

Hello Donna - I am so sorry to read of all the sadness that May bought to you. I hope June brings you some brighter days. Some months are very challenging & it can be so wearying.
Your fish & chips look so delicious that I want to reach into my screen. Your wee Sloane looks so adorable & just sounds like the tonic you need.
Thank you for your visit to my blog & the sweet comment you left me. xx
Hope June will be brighter for your family.
Sloane is so cute and her baby sister is arriving soon if I remember?
I also use my Air fryer it is so quick to cook with it, that I shorten the cooking time most of the time. Your food is looking delicious!
May was certainly a tough month for you and Larry so I hope the cheer of a new baby and the continued joy Sloane brings, makes June a much kinder and sweeter month for you.
You’ll get there, it takes time to process grief. Meantime little Sloan seems to be growing, not so little now. Time passes, life goes on, take care snd look after each other . x
Wow, it sounds like May was a truly challenging month for you and Larry, full of heartache and difficult news. It's completely understandable that you're ready to see it go and are hoping for a brighter June.
It's wonderful that you have your precious Sloane to bring so much joy and cheer, she really does seem like a ray of sunshine. And those fish & chips sound delicious, a well-deserved treat after a tough time.
Here's hoping June brings much more happiness and peace for you, Larry, and your family.
