Good Morning from the great state of Texas!
Our Luke the Duke is turning twelve!
They hosted a very small party last weekend
with a giant slip and slide and a cookout!
Oh if I could slow time down....
the youngest grandbaby will be a teenager next year....
and I am longing to fly out to see him....
I pray for better days ahead!
Birthday gifts were a new bike and scooter..
along with a 50 foot slip and slide!
It's a very slow time of life due to the Covid-19 pandemic...
not much going on.....
I look back to New Year's Day and the months have
become a blur....
I have not been in a store since the second week of March
and don't see that changing anytime soon....
So, I just am hoping you all are cautious and staying safe..
the world seems to have gone mad lately....
I always look forward to ideas in decorating for fall
and have ordered a few new fun items....
that's always fun to think about isn't it?
I want to see my children...all of them...
I want to have a big family dinner, hug them....laugh with them....
cook with them....and kiss them goodnight....
NEW RECIPES FOR SUMMER
Most of us enjoy a good pound cake to serve when the family gathers
and this recipe sounded pretty good for the hot summer months!
It has a light citrusy orange flavor using fresh orange juice,
along with orange zest!
It's delightful served with fresh summer berries!
Here is the link to the recipe!
Perfect with a cold glass of Southern Iced Tea
Boston Market has been a true favorite of mine for some years now
and I was craving my favorite lunch one day last week....we drove
over to pick up lunch only to discover they have closed that location!
There is another location listed on their door, but it was a bit too far
to drive that distance on this particular afternoon....so I thought,
you know, I'll just make my own for the weekend....
Roast chicken, creamed spinach and Janey's squash casserole!
Janey writes a delightful blog sharing her handsome family,
their life adventures and sweet, sweet grandchildren...along with
some gorgeous looking food!
Be sure to check her out and say HI!

The squash casserole was over the moon good made with
homemade jalapeno cornbread....divine I tell you!
I have also searched for a copycat creamed spinach recipe
and lo and behold, I think this one comes pretty darn close
to the original at Boston Market!
Come along with us on a short Sunday afternoon drive......
