First Day of School

Hard to believe summer is over already. Couldn't get a good picture this morning of Danny and Jeanie. This is the best I got but it's a bit fuzzy. I twisted Molly's arm to get one last "first day of school" picture of her, also. Danny was VERY excited. He keeps saying, with a huge grin, "I can't believe I'm in 10th grade!!" No Dan, we can't believe it either! Jeanie is starting 7th grade.

BLT Pizza

One of the girls at work mentioned that she was going to pick up a BLT Pizza for one of the residents to try. I told her that I could probably make one and found a recipe from Taste of Home. It was excellent.

Summer Eating

We planted lettuce for the first time this year. It.is.so.good!! I can't stop eating these salads. Fred put in lettuce and spinach. This is a meal of Grandma's Oriental chicken wings, June's Fantastic Mashed Potatoes and grilled asparagus. Delicious! Only thing is I tried to cut the sugar in the chicken wings and they weren't as good. It calls for 1 cup and I only put 1/2 cup sugar. I guess that was too drastic of a cut. They were still good but not as good.

Gonna Be a Drummer

Danny spends hours on youtube "learning" how to play drums. He listens to this guy and another one for HOURS. Just watches and listens. No tapping, beating, beats.......Just watches and listens. So I guess if he ever gets a drum set, he'll be ready.
