Sloane Reasoning with Mommy...Spring?

 Good morning, Friends!

The weather here has been so warm lately!  I was looking around the back yard and have found so many things starting to grow!  I worry about another freeze rolling through before Spring officially springs.

I haven't much news to share...I've been busy getting a quilt top finished for friend, Laura.  It's now finished.

My Wandering Jew is popping back up!  Love the color... 

I'm trying to envision exactly how to create one of these...Have you ever done something like this for your garden?

Mother-in law tongue is taking off!  I do very little to keep it going...lol

My green thumb is actually a little gray...

A new project...this time, for me!  A quilt.  Haven't decided on a block pattern yet.

So precious... Sloane has the answer to life making sure Mommy is listening! 

"Take a deep Breaff!"

Lolol

Pork ribs and corn...

A Cherry 4-Ingredient Cobbler... Really good and easy!

Frito Pie...

Well, that's about it for me this week.  Headed out to go touch some grass...lol...I just took the last sip of my cold coffee and got a mouthful of grounds...sigh...

Hope you all are well and safe. 

So, until next time...  

Showers...Rescues

Good morning Friends...

Well, I think Larry and I are going to make it... My cough is almost gone...as is Larry's.  I've started on a quilt top for Laura (my sister's ex-husband's wife) because I was asked.  She helped me with Ruth Ann when she had colon cancer several years back.  This is not going to be my favorite project but...oh well...such is life.

Our Granddaughter, Samantha, threw her best friend a baby shower this last Saturday.  This is Cortny.  See the quilt I made?  It was for her... 

See the rocking horse?  Larry made it.    Turned out really cute.  Samamtha loved it.

I kept the girls again last week when it was icy.  The school closed.  I turned on Sylvester and Tweety Bird...They both were enthralled! Lolol

As a child, I loved those two!   Much better cartoons then, then now...at least I think so.

I made some French Toast...It was hot and yummy!

Another idea for breakfast was eggs, Italian sesame toast...hash browns and bacon.  

 

Chicken and stuffing...with a salad.

When Samantha came to pick up the girls, the driveway was icy in patches.  Sloane ran out of the house and when she turned the corner, running after her mom, she slipped on a patch of ice.  She was holding her Barbie.  Down she went...started to cry...confusion ensued.  Poor Barbie was quickly forgotten.  Sunday, Larry and I were returning from church when I spied said Barbie laying in a planter.  She was not happy to have been forgotten...and looked quite cold in her current circumstance.  I brought her in, dressed her and she now awaits the return of her mommy (Sloane).

Crisis averted.

I suppose that's all the news I have to report, for now.

I hope you all are doing well...and are safe from all the storms hitting the USA.  Remember, as in the case of Barbie...don't run on the ice!

Until next time...

The Birds...Sheet Pan Pancakes and The Brazos River

Good Morning Friends...Figured I'd best do a little check-in!  Again, I've been absent for longer than I'd meant to be.... Keeping busy with Larry's Dad's estate...selling the shop buildings...shopping for Larry a new truck...planning to get the house painted...working on another quilt for our daughter, Crystal...getting Sloane's quilt top back from the longarm lady, hopefully soon...church...hunting down a good landscaper to get new hedges in the front yard in February...We are just too old to get out in the yard and dig those deep holes!  At least five of them?!  I'm thinking Sage.  They bloom and you can get the compact size.

Sami and Everett took the greatgrans to the Fair & Rodeo.  Took Sloane by the Parakeet enclosure... Sloane is a country girl...but I seriously doubt she's ever been this up-close and personal with one...Lol...bless my sweet Babygirl.

She did calm down and ended up having a fun time.

I don't think Lottie cared...lol

Yep...happens often! lol

Well...after 50 years...we get a completely new road in front of the house!  We were really tired of all the drainage problems and potholes.

Working on putting together the quilt for daughter Crystal...

This is a trend on TikTok.  Know what?  It actually worked!  And it was delicious...Sheet pan Pancakes.  Recipe 

I always add powdered sugar and lemon juice!  We learned about this years ago in Germany.  Delicious.

Larry made Shepard's Pie...seriously good.

After church, we ate at The Brazos Landing on the Brazos River.  Pricey but delicious.

It was a bit too chilly to sit outside...we've been getting rain...that and being windy doesn't really do it for me...lol

Me...

Larry had Jambalaya and I played it safe with Chicken Frien Steak. 

We could only eat half of what they brought out, on our plates!  It's going to be our lunch again today.  

I made a Cornish hen sometime last week...

And made a meal of Rice & Tomatoes with Butter.

We love this!

Finally...lol...We had several meetings to attend so once again, we ate out.  Fish and shrimp...broccoli casserole with mashed potatoes did the trick.

Well...I guess you need a serious break after all that!  And I suppose the sewing machine is calling my name.

Be safe out there...be aware of your surroundings.  For my American friends, I don't know how much longer this shutdown is going to go on so I hope you are all prepared.  

So...until next time...
