It's Hot...and Old Dogs and New Tricks?

 Good Morning Guys... It's hot here!  Most days are between 100F (38C) to 109F (43C)!  The lawn looks like a hay field...and we can only water the lawns Wednesdays and Saturdays...not enough to keep the grass alive.  Oh well...I mainly water the plants in the pots.

I made it over to Hobby Lobby for their sale on baking goods.  I bought $104 worth of baking tools for $52!!  Fifty percent off sales on bake wares only happens once or twice a year and I walked into the store at the right time!

I used some of the new frosting tips on my cupcakes...don't laugh, gotta' start somewhere!  Anyway, it gives me something to do...how many times can I wash clothes?!

Waiting for our great granddaughter to arrive, August 9th is the due date...can't wait!  It's also my birthday...Larry's mom died on my birthday back in 2018...Hopefully, Sloane will arrive on that date, wiping out all the bad juju...

The shower went off without a hitch...loads of her friends showed up for the fun.  I stopped counting after fifty...I swear!  I knew maybe three people!!  When did that happen?  Oh well...The life of a Crone moves forward.

Played around with my Cricut Maker3...novice here!  Made a cake topper but decided it didn't work so I went with a bought one.  Larry made Sloane's name (out of wood) to decorate the food table.  I think he did a great job.

Well, that's about it for me...Hope you all are having a sweet and peaceful weekend.  






Samantha




Hubby Larry hard at it...lol


Samantha and stepdad, Tim... real Dad, as far as we're concerned!  He's an amazing Dad.


Soon to be grandmother, daughter Crystal with her daughter, Sam.


Those kolaches were wonderful...sausage and cheese.


Sam...


Sam with a few of her friends...


The cake I made...really disappointed.  It was another hot and sultry day...the venue was warm...and things started to melt.  I didn't like the Swiss Meringue frosting I used, anyway.  We got to the shower early to help set up and nothing got going until several hours later!  
I didn't care by then...Sam had a good time and that's all that mattered.
Stay well and safe...

A Week in the Making…

Good morning!  Just checking in with the 'happenings taking place around my house.  First, Jenny Weber is in trouble!  The reason?  Butter Bells...yes, Butter Bells.  She was gifted one and I lusted...yes, lusted.  I'm going to Hell...at least that's what the Baptist minister once said to his congregation.  You're not supposed to lust....so...I contacted Amazon, found one to my liking and ordered it.  It's just my kind of Bell...flowery with pink roses.  Not something that's going to match my burnt and charcoal clothing they furnish in...Hell. 😈
But, I love it so,...it stays!






Then, I had a need to try out another new recipe for pink cupcakes.  The crumb was perfect!  Samantha has asked me to make her a "What Will It Bee" themed cake for their Reveal Party in March... Hope I can do her idea for it, justice.  Forgive the look of the photo... I forgot to edit the bottom...






My homemade Bake Release works like a champ!  Absolutely nothing sticks to the pan!






Pink cupcakes



              then I had to fry up a batch of chicken...Turned out great...


along with a Red Velvet Cake...


So... Have a wonderful and safe day guys!  See you soon.

What a Sweet Blessing!

 Christmas of 2021 will forever be ingrained into my soul...Our granddaughter has finally allowed me to scream the news from the hilltop...We are going to be Great Grandparents!  Precious Baby is expected in August!  Samantha and Everett had been trying for just a little while when, God blessed their union. 

To say we are excited is so inadequate...the word pales to the true emotion we feel.  I just pray Sweet Baby will be healthy, happy and they bring the adoption papers...well, one can wish!! Lol

Praying you are healthy and feeling blessed...💗
