Town Restaurants

Our little town is finally getting quite a few places to eat.  It is so nice to have a choice instead of just one little restaurant.  We now have a Mexican  place that is doing a very good business.  It took awhile to take off but now they have added an addition to another small town just north of us and doing well there too.  We have a Hardees which always has a big selection of burgers, etc. and of course, there is Subway.  Along with those there is a new Chinese place the last couple of years and it is finally picking up and we were there yesterday and they did a good business.  Next to it is an American Expresso Cafe, where you can get any kind of coffee, latte, cappicino and sandwiches of all kinds and salad..  The bar across the street has great hamburgers among other specials and Friday night fish.  The Pizza Ranch is a favorite of everyone too as they have a huge salad bar, pizza, cheese sticks, broasted potatoes and chicken, BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables and all winter, hot soups of all kinds.  If you can't find something you like, you better cook at home.

Enchiladas

My daughter makes the best enchiladas.  I made them the whole time they were growing up.  I am glad to see others taking over in the family.  There is just nothing like homemade.  You can put all the meat/bean mixture in them and then add shredded cheese.  I love lots of chopped onions and taco sauce inside mine.  Then good enchilada sauce poured over the top of them and you have a delicious meal.  Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Great Grandchild

This is my latest great grandchild.  She will be one in a few months.  What big blue eyes she has.  She is so cute. She looks a great deal like her Dad.  She has a big sister who is three and lots of cousins.  She looks a lot like my baby picture, which is amazing.  She makes 13 great grandchildren for me now.

Visitors

I rarely have visitors.  Today, however, my brother and his friend are coming over.  We are all going out to lunch.  I haven't done that for awhile.  It will be doubly enjoyable.  We're going out for Pizza and more at our favorite place in town.  They have a wonderful buffet and more than you could ever eat.  Sure looking forward to it.

Valentines Day

Just take a look at the beautiful flowers my son-in-law got for my daughter on Valentine's Day.  He brought them to her job.  What a beautiful gift.  My husband was never one to do that.  In 61 years, he bought me 2 boxes of chocolates about 40 years apart. All the girls in the office got flowers but me.  It was a real downer day and I still don't enjoy it.  I am happy for those who do.

Snow and Wind

Overnight we got about 2" of light fluffy snow.  The winds are howling at 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45.  My daughter drives 15 miles to the next town.  She said it was a tough drive.  It is about 26 degrees so there won't be any melting going on.  The neighbor had to go to the doctor in another town and she said the snow is really blowing across the highway.  However, driving wasn't too bad.  It was supposed to let up by noon but now it sounds like it is an all day windy day.

Facebook

Are you signed onto Facebook?  Do you have hundreds of friends?  Do you ever think people write some of the dumbest things on there?  A man once said if you have one true friend in your life that will do anything for you, then you are indeed lucky.  So what good does it do to have 350 friends on Facebook.  I don't like some of the things they say and the cussing.  A lot of it is garbage. But I check in every day to see if there happens to be something good on there anyway.
