Hi everyone..
Just dropped by for a moment to say hello..
Our five grandsons are visiting so we have been busy..
It has been raining too but they don't mind. It is so great when they love this old house with all it's nooks and crannies and are just content to be here..
They are either reading, watching discovery channel or playing games.. Then they take turns giving Sammi a run.. The poor old dog is snoozing his head off right now... The boys told him that he sure needed some exercise and I'm thinking he probably got it.. grin..
Last night we all went out for supper..
There is a lovely Mexican place here and I had told them we would go this Summer... It was wonderful ... We ate on the deck and they had a great time with the waitress and then the chef himself came out to talk to the boys.. smile.. They loved that.. Actually, the owners are Americans who are from Colorado and Texas and live here for 5 or 6 months and so the Mexican is pretty authentic..
Grandpa ordered a big batch of nachos for an appetizer and the boys said they were the best they had ever tasted...
This was my salad..
Pretty, eh? And very good..
It is just greens, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts and some lovely flower petals..
And on a gorgeous plate..
This is the kitchen floor... grin..
Today, they mostly stayed in until after we had Supper.
BBQ chicken breasts, new potatoes and carrots, two kinds of cukes.. one with vinegar and one with a creamy dressing..
And of course we had to have a
Cesar Salad.. Not very fancy..
They always get a kick out of the napkins..
I am a napkin junkie.. grin..
I love cloth ones but we don't have laundry facilities here so we use paper all summer.. These had an H for Henry on them..
At lunch they had one hundred dollar bill ones.. grin..
Breakfast consisted of 13 eggs and a loaf of bread and a jug of juice.. Terry and I laughed over that for about five minutes..
That would take us a week... grin.. We just love feeding them..
Three of them had french toast , one had a cheese omelet and the other one had simply scrambled and toast..
Anyway, tonight I decided I had better make some bread.. So I baked 2 loaves of my no knead bread..
We were having so much fun that I forgot to take it out..
The boys said this was Gram's burnt offering..
Aren't they adorable?
Oh well I am sure their french toast will be fine..
Grandpa took them for a big hike way down the beach and discovered a hidden cove that they liked..
Then when they came home they had banana and Oreo sundaes..
Now they are all ready for bed but land knows when sleep will actually arrive.. grin..
They sound pretty awake up there.. smile..
I will get some, though.. Please, Lord...smile..
Still getting ready for open house .. Labour Day Weekend..
I made this little journal... I kind of like them and hope to have several in time for my sale..
Just used a glue stick on a dollar store notebook..
Old papers, wrapping, napkins and old pics copied off the computer..
Anyway...
Sorry about the post.. I am half temped to delete it but hopefully you are all bored and need something to read.. grin.
.
Have a wonderful week and God bless and keep you all..
Thanks for your visits and comments..
Love them...
