BIG LITTLE BOY

It's been awhile so here he is, just took it today.

FUNERAL HOMES

Where in the world did that name come from, do you know? Was it because funerals were held in homes in our past years, like they are in other countries, still today? Is it because the process of burial was usually done at home? It is one of my least favorite places but a place we all end up unless there are strange circumstances at the end of one's life.

I made a quick trip to the near by big city to swoop up the GRAND baby after the visitation started. He was glad to see me and did not want me to put him down. I brought him to our house, he fell asleep on the way here, and PaPaw was able to bring him in, lay him in bed, without waking him up. He is worn out. So is his Mommy and his Daddy. Stress is difficult and can be felt by even the little little ones.

You see, tonight, was the viewing for our DIL's Daddy. He looked at peace. There were dozens of people waiting in line to pay their respects to his widow, our DIL's mother, and his family. He was truly a loved and respected man. I wish we had known him before he started being ill.

Someday we will play catch up but for now, it's....see you in the morning, Richard......you are missed already.

YOUNG SON PIC

The young son was here for a follow up visit after his surgery, recovering ahead of schedule and well pleased the doctor.

This is a picture of him, along with his girlfriend, peeking from behind his back. Now you know what my family looks like in living color.

SUNSET

Today, our DIL's Daddy passed away. His life has ended on this side but we will see him again someday.

Just as our time of birth is decided, so is the time of our death. It is not a mistake or an uhoh. It is specific, as specific and as individual as we are as people.

Today, his sun set but his life is just beginning on the other side with a bright new day.

RIP Richard.

TRY IT AGAIN

You might notice that the Google ads are back on my page. I am giving them a second try. As I posted before, there were advertisements that I did not like showing up on my blog. In an attempt to remove them, I have gone in, changed the settings, trying it again. If it becomes something I do not like, it's bye bye for good good, so keep it straight straight Google Google.

It's Sunday and you know what that means, time for church. So glad I rolled the hair last night because I am running beeeeeeehind.

DELISH CHICKEN SANDWICH

Got chicken? Here's a delicious recipe that can be grilled outdoors, keeping the kitchen cool. It has been in my file for several years now so I cannot give credit as credit is due but I can share it with you.

1 package of wheat hamburger buns, preferably low calorie
Boneless chicken breasts, enough for one on each bun or enough to slice and put on each bun
Lawry's Teriyaki with pineapple juice marinade
Can of CocaCola
Sliced pineapple (fresh that you slice yourself or canned)
Green leaf lettuce
Tomato
Bulls Eye BBQ Sauce Brown Sugar and Hickory

Marinate chicken in Lawry's and Coke for 30 minutes
Grill chicken and sliced pineapple on grill, low temp, till done
Slice tomato and tear lettuce
Build sandwich
Add bbq sauce
Finish with top bun

Yum, yum, yum.

BIRTHDAY FREEBIES

Yesterday was my big 6 2 happy birthday, a good, quiet day BUT the GRAND baby is coming today so it will be another GRAND day. I love that little boy, figured that out though, didn't you?

I digress.

I signed up for several websites. One is Dairy Queen, another Ruby Tuesday, Denny's, and IHOP. Several days before my happy birthday, I started getting emails from these companies giving me gifts to celebrate my day.

Dairy Queen sent a BOGO Blizzard, wishing me a happy birthday, used it last night for supper. Ruby Tuesday sent a coupon for a free hamburger with fries, yum, again for my birthday. Denny's sent a coupon for a free Grand Slam meal, however, this one I am not using. It was for the day only since we had other plans, I just had to let this one go by, rats. Then the last one, IHOP, sent a coupon for free Rootie Tootie pancakes. Oh, forgot, Papa Murphy's Pizza sent a coupon for free chocolate chip cookie dough, big yum. Also Chili's, another big yum.

I could have eaten out FREE all day!

The coupons have dates on them past the birthday day, except Denny's, so I am going to spread them out! Why not stretch the party? Go for it, I say!

There is a photo of the coupon freebies but it's still on the camera, yet to be downloaded, when it is, I will edit and post it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A SR WHEN

You know you are a senior citizen when an exciting day is getting a good report from the periodontist. My life, today, my appointment, my mouth.

A good report was given to me on my gums and teeth. No disease, teeth are strong, not loose, healthy gums and healthy teeth. Woohoo.

I left the office almost walking on clouds. See if I live another twenty years, I would like to live it with my teeth.

It's a great day when you find out you are healthy, even if it's just a healthy mouth.

Smile.
