The In-between Times



Good Morning Friends...
You know, this "in between" time makes it difficult to have anything new to post about.  A lot of bloggers take this time off from blogging.  I won't but, you might have to look at more photos than words...we just haven't done much...lol
Larry made our usual black-eyed peas and cornbread for our New Years Day lunch.  The boy knows how to cook.  Well, Larry had made the peas and cornbread at 4am so...that's what we enjoyed for breakfast.  Hot and steamy on a cold morning...nice!
The rest of the day was spent working on projects...my sewing, Larry's laser and 3-D printer...making something.  I never know what's up out in his workshop.  



Our sweet Sloane...



Grandson William and his girlfriend, Cailin.  We were SO happy to see them!




We went to a restaurant that had been in business for about a year and a half.  The room was huge.  They advertise they are now open for breakfast...so we went.  Long and short of it, we won't be back.  We were there for almost 2hrs...and no one else ever came in.  We now will have to remember that when it's breakfast time...and there's no one there but you...you need to leave.  People aren't there, for a reason. 






Looks good but the veggies were raw, and the coffee was lukewarm and bitter.  I ate about a quarter of it the let Larry take a crack at it...he wasn't impressed.



Larry's panini was just sad.  A layer of ham...a layer of gouda? cheese...we think.  A George Foreman grill would have made a good one, but not this.



crickets...


This is a new Chinese restaurant in town...King Noodle.  If you have one, go try it out.  It is wonderful!  A ton of food.  I ordered Coconut Shrimp with steamed rice and Larry, Mongolian Beef with fried rice.
We will be going back!






We had a quick breakfast the other morning.  I just want to say that I made my Apple Jacks...healthy by adding a dried cranberry...so don't judge me...lol


Made a pan of cinnamon rolls...Hey!  It's the holidays! lol


For a lunch, I made air fryer porkchops and fried okra.


Salmon and roasted yellow squash...really good.







The second I read this; I could feel the wind blowing on my face!  How about you?


Asking for some prayers for our sweet little 16yr old Buddy.  He's in congestive heart failure and there's nothing else the doctor can do for him...just a medication.  He has moments where he gets excited or going potty where he falls over, howling until we can scoop him up and place him in his bed.  It's so sad but we can Not put him...down.  The howling comes from fear, not pain.  We love on him and he's fine...groggy but fine.  We know his time is short but please pray for him...and us.  He's been such a sweet and faithful baby.
Well, I hope you all had a wonderful New Years.  Looking forward to a safe and happy 2026!
Until next time...
