Day One Hundred 2013

It’s 84 degrees outside. The air conditioning in my car is not working. My windows are rolled down. It feels like a hundred degrees while waiting at stoplights. Suddenly, my car makes a beeline for the drive-through at the local DQ, as though it has a mind of its own! There’s only one sane thing to do, so I do it. Freezing cold vanilla milkshake [with whipped cream and a cherry on top] = instant air conditioning. Yes!

Day Seventy Three 2013

Grandpeeps Elijah and Shelby spent the day with Neil and me as their spring break winds down. Lunched at KFC. Elijah was playing with his Jell-o and flipped some on the wall. Shelby is making the universal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ gesture. Elijah did eventually wipe it off the wall.

Landed at the DQ for frozen treats with more peeps. Daughter Holly, sister Jane, granddaughter Shelby, niece Julia, and niece Sarah having a laugh which I missed cause I was taking this picture.

And here’s one with Elijah in the mix ~ the only man in a sea of cooties. Or is that cuties?

After stuffing ourselves with chicken and ice cream, we spent some time in the sunshine. Neil pitched ball to Elijah who is signed up to play T Ball this spring.

Batter, batter, swing, batter! He can really pop them out of the park (or into the street).

I love this picture of Shelby. She doesn’t even know I took it as she walked away, going after the big ball she’d been kicking around the yard. She’s eleven and such a great kid who is quickly growing into her teenage years. Nope. Not gonna think about that right now. Sure did enjoy spending the day with my peeps. Always do.

Day Forty 2013

VISION BASKETBALL

He dribbles! Grandson Elijah played Vision Basketball today. His team has improved so much. And so has he. He’s had the ball quite a bit lately.

He shoots!

He scores! Elijah got lots of points today.

The blue team beat the green team 20 ~ 8. Way to go!

Granddaughter Shelby, daughter Holly, grandson Elijah, hubby Neil and moi celebrated a game well played at the DQ.

Elijah’s treat: a banana split so big and huge he couldn’t even finish it. We didn’t mind helping out. Yummy good times on a beautiful Saturday in February. Hope your weekend is delicious!

Day One Hundred Thirty Eight 2012

RANDOM

Yesterday at the DQ: Double Fudge Frozen Hot Chocolate. Can you say Yummy?!

This afternoon on my front porch after school: Peeps! grandson Elijah, niece Sarah, granddaughter Shelby and niece Julia.

This evening at Ocha Thai deli: rice and spicy chicken for supper. Can you say Yummy again?!

This evening after supper: side trip to Ralph's Donut Shop for these things called 'fruit bars'--three for the price of a donut--raisins and something like gingerbread and icing on top. Can you say Yummy one more time?! 

On the way home through the town square--that fat cloud looks kind of like whipped cream. (I think I could use some exercise.) It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Four years ago today, my little brother, Rob, passed away unexpectedly. Missing you, little bro! Rest in peace.



Day Two Hundred Ninety Eight 2011

Been feeling puny the past 24 hours with some kind of stomach bug (or maybe it was that burger I ate for lunch yesterday, who knows) so I haven’t been able to eat much.  Hubby Neil brought me this DQ vanilla shake tonight. After all the Gator Aid and crackers, this tasted as yummy as it looks. 

Day Two Hundred Forty 2011

Neil and I treated ourselves to a DQ Butterfinger Blizzard this afternoon, and I assure you, it tasted every bit as delicious as it looks. Jealous? Ha! Get your own. Have a great week, everybody!



Day Two Hundred Fifty Five

You Lookin At Me?

Elijah thoroughly enjoyed his DQ ice cream cone with sprinkles Friday at lunch. He can tell you that Granny's camera is pretty much always lookin at him. I'm almost sure that's why he had this expression on his face.
