Beaches...Old Friends and a Cookbook

Good morning Friends...

Another week...I had some sad news about another childhood friend.  I have to admit that I've always prided myself on my ability to keep a "neat" upper chin when it comes to death.  Being in the nursing field, you have to try and remain in neutral while the world falls apart around you.  But I've been out of nursing for a long while now.  Cindy was a buddy from high school days.  We ran together...laughed...did so much together.  We each married, had kids, lived our lives...always trying to stay in touch until one day, we didn't.  I knew she'd developed diabetes, and it wasn't an easy road for her.  She was 71 when she passed away at home.  I don't know what happened.  The visitation is this Friday...maybe I'll get some answers then.

Here's to rainbows, butterflies and Ford Mustangs old buddy...

Fly high.

Sloane and Arlis...cousins...and really close.

I love them.  They bring sense to a senseless world.

God keep and protect them always.

Larry took me thrifting yesterday...it felt good to get out.  I found some nice things for Winter (blouse, jacket, etc.) including this purse/laptop bag.  I carry my purse, water, bible and other odds and ends wishing at times I was an octopus...no such luck so I think this bag will solve the dilemma.  It even has a charging port!  And it still works.

It's almost in new condition.  Happy Sunday to me! lol  

I made candy...Chocolate and walnut.  Rolled them in powdered sugar then wrapped them up.  They were good...couldn't help myself!

Breakfast...scrambled eggs with onion and parmesan cheese.

Roasted a chicken with mashed potatoes and sautéed onions. 

We went to Fish City Grill after church. 

We both ordered Fish & Chips...SO good!

Also re-heated the rest of the roasted chicken and again served with that delicious gravy.  Larry loves it... 

I don't know how many of you watch Miss Lori over on YouTube, but Larry and I like her and husband Danny's offerings.  They live on a homestead in Arkansas.  Her 2nd cookbook is finally out.  I'm waiting for mine to arrive.  She's old-school though, checks or money orders only.  Cash is okay but might get lost in the mail, so she advises against it.

  Go check her out!

Oh my Word, this stuff is good on toast or biscuits! 

Well, I suppose that's about it for me this week.  Hope you all are safe and well...Just letting you know how much I love and appreciate you...

so until next time...
