Day One Hundred Ninety 2013

Tuesday Lunch Bunch Peeps: hubby Neil [who always looks thrilled to be in my blog pics], daughter Holly, daughter Kelly, grandson Knox, granddaughter Shelby, niece Julia, niece Sarah, and grandson Elijah. We hit the D.Q., enjoyed a meal together and shared some laughs. Good times, y’all!

Day Two Hundred One 2012

I did not scream for ice cream at the D.Q. after lunch today. I was trying to be good, to resist the temptation. But my hubby is a bad influence when it comes to D.Q. treats. And besides, the grandkids were having ice cream cones, too, so who am I to say no to another pound of fat around my waist?

Day Seventy Nine 2011

The best way to celebrate the first day of spring is to go to the D.Q. and eat a Blizzard. Or to eat a sundae just because it's Sunday. We never need an excuse to eat such treats--as long as we don't do it too often. Happy first day of spring, everyone!

Day Eighty Nine

Sweet Reward

Granddaughter Shelby made four As and four Bs on her last report card. Neil and I took her to the Dairy Queen for an Oreo Blizzard to celebrate. She always chooses D.Q. for her sweet reward. Way to go on the great grades, Shelby!

Elijah got a sweet treat, too, even though he didn't make any grades at all. Oh well. Neither did Granny and Grandpa, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a yummy D.Q. treat, too. Looking forward to Shelby's next set of good grades!

Day Eight

I Wish ....

Shelby and Elijah wanted to go outside and play in the snow this morning. I would have let them, but it was 12 degrees. I had to say no, and we moved on to do other things like play Old Maid and Connect Four.

They finally got their wish at lunch time, because we were crazy enough to bundle up and go out onto the frozen tundra to the Dairy Queen, of all places, where they enjoyed ice cream cones after they ate lunch. When we got back home, they started scooping up snow and tossing it into the air. It's powdery and flies away quickly. I let them do that for a minute and then they were ready to go inside. Shelby said, "Now I see why you didn't want us to go out!"
