Happy, happy day!

Please join me in wishing s-i-l Jason a happy birthday today!

I have NO voice today.  Literally.  What began as husky went to downright croaky by nightfall yesterday.

Today, I can barely whisper.  I may need a whistle to get MM’s attention…if needed.  Does my new phone have a foghorn on it?!

I typically get laryngitis about once a year, and I was long over due.  It will pass…and all will be well.

We had a major scare with KC yesterday.  He didn’t come inside the night before, nor arrive for breakfast…not typical for our boy.  MM and I both searched for him, shaking the food container, which normally charms him from wherever he is.  No boy.  Lots of worries.

He finally waltzed in totally unconcerned but hungry by late afternoon.  The sun had been out all day, so he was simply enjoying life, somewhere in the woods, after three days of gray.  I can’t blame him for wanting to be outside, but his parents were sure worried about him.  A fox was spotted in the yard earlier in the day, just to add to our concerns!

It’s just another ginger peachy, but happy day in Mayberry!

Christmas luncheon

 

Joy set a mighty purdy table for us five gals last week, and served a tasty luncheon of a hot chicken salad, asparagus, homemade biscuits, and a great spinach salad.  Yum-my.

She sent me the recipe for that chicken dish that I will get around to posting over on dyerdining.  It is a good casserole dish that can be done ahead of time.  I like those, and this one is a keeper.

Miss Eva wasn’t with us that day, but I couldn’t resist showing her off, along with Grammie Joy! 

Thanks again.  It is always fun having some girlie time.

And now back to the year-end stuff…that is not a whole lot of fun.  Bugger.  The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and we have to have a lot of paperwork finished before we can head to Florida.

The sun just came out after two days of gray, so Tuesday will surely be a ginger peachy day, and a haircut will also happen this afternoon.  I need it!

Life is what you make it, and I declare it good, y’all!

Rainy day in Georgia

It rained all.day.long yesterday. The boys had slight temps, so we stayed home from church and ALL had a Jammie day. Well, MM and I wore sweats and stayed comfy.



And we read books, watched a little TV, and of course, played with the electronics.

I made grilled ham/cheese Sammies for lunch and homemade chicken soup for dinner, both perfect for our gray day.

The good news is that both boys are going to school today. Everybody is happy, boys included.

Today, I need to seriously get gifts bagged and/or wrapped and take inventory. Time is getting short! And make taco soup for some special gals. More on that later.

It's just another Mayberry Monday. And life is good, y'all!

Winter windows

It's a cold winter morning; a woman texts her husband: 

"Windows frozen."

Husband texts back:
"Pour some lukewarm water over it."

Wife texts back 5 minutes later:

"Computer completely screwed up now."

Have yourself a ginger peachy day, and don’t screw up, y’all!

Jammies and piggies

These Jammie Boys want pigs in a blanket for breakfast, so the little piggies are in the oven, almost ready.

Ready!




Good Grammie!

What's for breakfast at your house?

Finally…Freddie!

Meet the “new” big guy…this white thing:

It will replace the old Freddie, in case anyone remembers it:

Son-in-law Jason found this truck, after a year of looking. It is an automatic, much preferred by everyone but MM for driving!  Slight complication, in that it was located in Boise, ID.  Dear MM volunteered to fly out and drive it home, even asking if I wanted to go with him…NOT! 

MM left Mayberry early Monday morning to fly from Atlanta, then pointed Freddie east Monday evening. It’s only 2,200 miles, so MM arrived home 46 hours later, just in time to go to WingNuts (a 12-year tradition of wings and beer) with the guys on Wednesday night.

Other than 5 degrees and blowing snow in WY, the trip was uneventful.  Jason found a cheap motel for Tuesday night east of Kansas City so MM could get a few zees before hitting the road again.  Google maps says it is 32 hours of driving, so it was not a big deal to do it in 46. MM says the secret is to keep the driver’s door closed and the pedal to the metal. It also helps to have a “camel’s bladder”...and 200 gallons of fuel onboard! 

No, MM is NOT available for any more long hauls…except to drive the moho to Florida after Christmas.

Anyone wanna buy old Freddie?

The end.

Have a fabulous Friday.  We sure will!

Ready!

For what? Clean teeth!

Then medical wellness check ups for MM and me this afternoon. I shall have a clean smile for the choral concert tonight with all our wee gals. We will be loudly cheering grandparents.

Mayberry is totally socked in this morning, all the way down to the ground. And cold. Remind me of why we are still here. Oh yes. Those grand kids.

Relax. Open wide!

Whew. All done.

Life is healthy and good in Mayberry, y'all!
