Sunshine

It is a beautiful sunny day.  We have had so many cloudy days this month.  Along with that we have had a couple real snowstorms.  It seems like there have been snow showers inbetween too.  Freezing rain and sleet are no fun at all.  Keeps me home in the house where I know I won't slip and fall.  The ER's are full of people who fell on the ice or were in car accidents.  Spring is just around the corner and we can hardly wait.

Lunchtime

It is time for lunch and then time for a nap.  Their Mom always gives them very healthy food.  You can see by the picture that they are the picture of health.  They have good appetites.  My children were often kind of picky about what they wanted to eat.  But it seems mothers are able to get their little ones to eat more of a variety of foods that are good for them.  Fruits and veggies are always good for them.

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.
