Babies...Bike-a-thon-and Who's a Good Boy?




We love it!  From a medium pizza to eight pieces of chicken...pork chops...etc.  


This pizza was nicely browned in the center...and the crust was actually crispy!  I sprinkled cornmeal in the pan first, added the pizza then cooked it.  Seriously wonderful.  I have kept my Corsori because, simply put, there's nothing wrong with it!  Still cooks great and I will continue to use it.  Larry was the one who decided he wanted to try HIS hand at an air fryer and found the Typhur.  And... he loves pizza...lol.  Let me warn you though...it's pricey...$390 on Amazon.  But we think it's worth the money.  



We were on the way to church last Sunday when, after pulling out of our street, we were faced with a Bike-a-thon from, we think, Baylor University...not sure.  We haven't really been keeping up with a lot of outside noise these days... "people be crazy", so we stay home a lot. 
We had to sit for almost 15 minutes while tons of bikers rode past.  People behind us were Not happy...gunning their car motor..."Hey!!"  "C'mon man!"  Just acting like idiots and on a Sunday?  Church goers?  Where else did they have to go?  From the looks and sounds coming from them...I don't think they were late to church BUT, I could have been wrong...never know...  Larry and I just hunkered down in our seats and watched the parade of bikes fly by.  Had to be 2-300 people?  It was just a lot.  We were late getting to Sunday school class, but we had the story to tell so, it was all good. 


Daughter Crystal was up for the weekend getting her Lollie hugs from the girlz.


It was Grandparents Day at Sloane and Lotties daycare last Thursday.  Everyone was SO confused...lol... We were told to wait in the foyer, so we all stood there for about 15 minutes...then the lady said we could all go to our child's room...(there were around 30-40 grandparents waiting) that was fun...We get into Sloane's room but Lottie was across the hall so...I went over and brought her back to Sloanes room...sigh... to do what...none of us had any clue.  There was nothing officially planned!  I did manage to get some cookies and lemonade for the girlz...  The teacher was busy doing...a little project with a lone student...SO... I told Larry to grab the girlz bags, and we took the girls and just left to come home.  That was enough.



Sloane...


Lottie...


Next...I'd finally finished making Grandson-in Law's rag quilt in a fishing pattern.  He liked it...







I've had this Christmas panel, 1950's look, for far too long.  So, I just did a simple old timey pattern with it and it's now at the longarmer.  I'll be using it as a tablecloth!   I wasn't going to buy more cloth, so it's been pieced...an old-fashioned look anyway.  Use what you have.









I made roast, potatoes and black-eyed peas for lunch one day...


Larry made sausage biscuits for us...





 

One morning I was sewing and in comes Larry with our favorite expresso mocha frappachinoed coffee from Dutch Bros.  
Who's a Good Boy??!!!
But in his telling of it...this was how hard it was to get home with both coffees intact... lol


Well guys, I guess that's about it for me this time.  I hope you all are doing well...are safe and keeping busy...but not too busy! lol
so, until next time...
hugs
Donna

I can't believe how Lottie is growing. They are both beautiful girls.
You did have a good story to tell at Sunday School. That's a lot of bikes.
Glad you're enjoying that air fryer. The pizza looks fabulous. I think you could open a restaurant, your food always looks so good.
Crazy about the grandparents day, sounds like someone forgot to do the planning for it.
The quilts look great!

I think it is so neat that the schools and daycares honoring grandparents with this day. Here at our local elementary, the parents decorate their cars/trucks and drive through the school parking lot where all the kiddos are watching. They get so excited to see their grandparents decorated vehicle pass by. Love the quilt..oh my, what a talent you have. Your work is Beautiful. All the food looks super good...my tummy is growling just looking at the pictures.. Have an awesome Thursday.

Good that blogs are showing up again. Great looking food. That Typhur looks interesting. We have an air fryer oven but I think the other sort are better. I am still playing with my Instant Pot! We have a marathon run down our street annually. Last year was our first year here and we were shocked to see all the people running past for quite a long time. This year we are aware and actually know one of the participants so will be looking out for her. Love the quilt! You are so talented.

Oh your sweet muchkins just keep getting cuter all the time.
A little sad at the Grandparents Day non-celebration. Glad you took them home and had your own fun.
Wow on both quilts. I really like the Christmas "quilt and its Old-fashioned look. It will definitely be wonderful to be used as a tablecloth.
Have a great day

You would never know that pizza came out of an air fryer. It looks delicious.
That's kind of crazy that they had grandparents day but nothing planned for the event. You would have thought it would have been a bit organized.
LOL at the picture of Larry bringing you coffee. What an ordeal he had. Gotta love AI
