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.

Day One Hundred Four 2013

Neil and I enjoyed frozen hot chocolate and a little people watching at Poet's On The Square coffeehouse this afternoon. The frozen drink gave us a delicious brain freeze, and the people watching was interesting to say the least. I wanted to take pictures so badly but my inner censor said better not. A walk in the park after the frozen hot chocolate would have been great, but the rains came down and the temperature dropped, but that's OK cause it's all good. Happy first day of the week!



Day Seventy Six 2013

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day. Neil and I stopped by our local pub [Poet’s On The Square Coffeehouse] and ordered up a brew or two. Couldn’t help notice this Post-It note on the counter. I said ‘really?’ The barista said some people let them know they don’t like it when the order takes too long to be filled. Wow. Some people, huh?

Actually, Neil and I weren’t celebrating St. Paddy’s Day or anything  else for that matter. We just wanted some frozen hot chocolate, or, in his case, frozen cookies and cream. We don’t need an excuse to have tasty frozen treats.

I do have a bit of Irish in me [more like Scotch-Irish, as my dad would tell me] but I suppose everyone is Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day.

Happy St. Paddy's Day, y'all!

Day Twenty Seven 2013

Our weekend with grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah came to a close this afternoon, but not before we indulged ourselves in a tasty frozen  treat at Cream City Ice Cream and Coffee House (I really enjoyed my frozen hot chocolate), and of course we climbed around on the trains at the depot just across the street from Cream City. Good times with the kiddos. It was a fun weekend.
Happy 12th Anniversary to my daughter Holly and son in law Jerry!
We love you!!

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.
