Food Friday


I am thankful for a warm oven that can cook up smiles for friends and family.
I made 2 successful loaves of bread and a yummy batch of cinnamon rolls this past weekend. I got a sweet note in Henry's bag this week thanking me for the yummy cinnamon rolls I sent to school and I got a nice little call the other night from Randall's grandfather who had eaten all his cinnamon rolls and bread. He encouraged me to bring him more...and indeed I will! I love my sourdough bread starter!


I am thankful for honest friends and family... I reckon.
Ok, I am fixing to share something that will make you laugh, because my husband, sister and friend Brittni laugh at me and tell me "NO" when I ask them to go with me to eat at Ryan's. I love salad buffet and I crave it often. I try really hard to "woo" them to go with me but they never buy into my "woo". No one will eat at Ryan's with me, no matter how hard I beg. I love the "Land of And" commercials for Ryan's and it makes me want it "real bad" (Can't you hear that frumpy nail tech on Legally Blonde saying that about her hot dog). It is a great deal...$9.99 for an endless buffet. Come on! When I was a little girl my grandparents always took me to eat salad because I loved it, even then. I know if my Meemaw was not with Jesus, she would be with me at Ryan's.

I am thankful that my husband told me to not cook much this week!
This Heifer is taking a break! Outside of warming stuff up, mixing something quick and tending to my sourdough, I am not in the kitchen. I have not even been to the grocery store. Score! I love to cook, but sometimes a break from it is needed. The holiday cooking is approaching us and I stay real busy at that time. I love to fill our home with the smells of the season and I enjoy sharing goodies with those near and dear.

I am thankful for this little scene. My baby boy can feed himself and drink himself!
Wowsie! I am amazed and a little sad at how fast he is growing, yet so excited to see him learn independence. I love watching him bite a cracker from his hand. It makes me giggle for some reason. He is so precise and careful. I just love to watch.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
