Day Two Hundred Eleven 2013

Terrific Tuesday

I picked up granddaughter Shelby after school today ~ not something I usually do

She’s so pretty in pink!

After school seemed like a good time to visit Poet’s On The Square coffeehouse and treat ourselves ~ Frozen hot chocolate for me ~ served up in a Mason jar ~ yummy

Shelby and Elijah both ordered hot chocolate ~ whipped cream on top, of course ~ They enjoy chilling in these comfy swivel chairs ~ It’s a nice place to relax after a hard day at school

When Holly came to pick up the kids, she brought me this bouquet of Black-eyed Susan’s from her yard ~ What a nice surprise!

You never know what you’re going to get when you slice into a cantaloupe ~ This one turned out to be another sweet surprise

Neil and I made BLT’s for supper ~ one of my fave summertime meals [although these are yummy any time] ~ Thanks to my sister Ann for sharing her homegrown tomatoes ~ All it took was one juicy thick slice to cover all that crispy [almost burnt but that’s the way I like it] bacon

Tomato soup, BLT’s, cantaloupe ~ it’s what’s for dinner [supper if you live in the South] [I’ve had those pumpkins since last October and they’re still hanging in there] Hope you had a terrific Tuesday, too.

"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato."
~Lewis Grizzard
My sister and her hubby grew this lovely tomato, which now belongs to me. I’m thinking BLT. That’s what summer is all about.

Day Two Hundred Five

Random pictures from today...

Kay's been into the mushrooms again...

I think they're cute...

Hard downpour came up suddenly this afternoon. Neil and I

sat on the back porch and enjoyed the show. Love those new

gutters!

Between a rock and a hard place...The screen mesh

has come loose from the lower corner of the screen

door. The new kitty comes in through the gap and

climbs the kitchen door, wanting to come in. He usually

can't find his way back out. Duh! Neil calls him Sherman.

I like the name Eddie or maybe Ernie. Buddy doesn't like

him no matter what his name is!

Speaking of Buddy, he's checking out the makings for

our BLT's. He could smell the bacon frying and wanted

in on the action.

My sister Ann brought tomatoes from her garden to us this

past Thursday. They were huge and red and juicy and the

first thing I thought of when I saw them was "BLT!" Thanks

for the tomatoes, Ann!

The BLT made with tons of crispy bacon, crisp lettuce, lots of

mayo (the real stuff!) and a big slice of Ann's tomato on fresh

whole grain bread. And on the side a bowl of tomato soup and

a glass of icy Coke Zero. Doesn't get any better than this, folks!
