Good morning, Friends! Well, it's been a few weeks since I posted but, I made it home. The kids...aka... Crystal and Tim, spent a luxurious four days in Cancun...resting? Seems it also involves some, shmoozing with the bossman and maybe a few potential clients. So... the trip wasn't so much, a restful one. But the views were wonderful.
Meanwhile...SORRY the food court is at the beginning of the post! I thought I might try to move all the photos to the bottom, where they belong...but...not happening. I must admit that this morning I'm just too tired to care.
A broccoli and chicken with pasta treat...
We found a cafe in the small town of Oglesby, TX.
Chicken Fried Steak! REAL homemade gravy... Larry ordered green beans and mashed potatoes and I ordered fried okra and mash... just omg... It was heaven! Real food! And a lot of it...
I made breakfast....
And lunch... ribs and peas!
I took this Cyclamen...made oatmeal cookies... and Banana Pudding for Crystal's Mother's Day gift. Naturally, Tim claimed test-taster's rights.
And these are the precious cargo I traveled two hours to babysit. My favorite, Toby the Boxer...a real ham. He lets me discuss all sorts of things...helps me delve into my soul... then wants a cookie...lol
Sophie the Guardian ...she's a tiny bit reserved...
Naptime...
And there's Bo, on the back of the sofa...Ruler of Said Territories.
This was waiting on me when I arrived! A beautiful plant and homemade chocolate covered peanuts, one of my favorites!
Crystal arranged me a small area so I could continue making quilt blocks for my newest project...
The pattern is called, Exploding Pineapple...and trust me when I say...I fully understand the creator's mood when she made it...lolol
I have finished it now...
I think I'll try doing Applique along the sashing... never tried it before! Wish me luck.
Meanwhile...
I finally got the previous quilt back from the longarmer...I think it turned out nicely!
The longarmer made the label for me...my wording.... It cost $25 dollars...I am looking on Canva how to make my own, printed on fabric.
Our precious greatgrands, Lottie and Sloane!
Sloane checking over the price of things these days... I feel 'ya Baby!
Well, I suppose that's all the news from here, that I have to report.
Here's hoping you all are well and safe and Blessed!
Have a wonderful weekend!
hugs,
Donna

I love your post - makes me smile. The food looked good. Gee - they had a huge dog and a tiny dog. Where was your dog? The girls are soooooooooooooo incredibly cute and adorable. I am shocked at the prices of food too.
Lottie and Sloane are growing too quick! I love that pic of Sloane with the receipt.
The quilts are so pretty and I really like your label.
Your food always looks restaurant worthy.
