A Food Filled Friday!!!

There is nothing like being on a diet to make you HUNGRY!!!

We totally went off our calorie counting binge today!

We always have Friday Lunch with Mother. She and Louis Dean both LOVE The Golden Corral!

 We had an extra blessing today! Louis Dean's grandson, Robert!

He is visiting his grandmother who lives not far from the beauty salon so we picked him up right after we got Mother. While the buffet may not be a favorite for Robert or me - that's where we ate today and we all ate a LOT!

That's what you DO at buffets!!!

The chocolate fountains are Mother's favorite.

She dips ONE marshmallow!

They even have cotton candy!!!

The bakery GOODS are seriously GOOD!

My THREE desserts!!!

I had help with the pie and tart!

After lunch we took Robert back and stayed to visit with him and his grandma.

Robert gave me a special bottle of wine!

We sat out on the patio at his grandmother's beautiful home.

She and Mother are both 88 years old  and managed to communicate even though Mother's speech isn't always clear. She talked and talked to Robert on the drive back and Robert amazingly seemed to understand what she said! He is an amazing young man and we sure do love him!

My super cute husband.....

This house was built in a densely wooded area and was pretty much built around this tree!

It's almost spooky how close this tree is to the house!

The most touching moment of the visit - as we were leaving Mary asked if Mother needed help out to the car. She then proceeded to hold Mother's arm to steady her as she went down the step and walkway.

I did mention they are BOTH 88 years old!!

After a lovely visit we took Mother home. We could not resist stopping in at Deanie's to chat with her and Charlie for a little while. Next stop??

We picked up the older grands and filled up with yogurt at Yoberry's!!

We had a lot of fun with the kids!

Levi didn't get a lot so after he ate his - I told him he could get another cup. They sell the yogurt by the ounce and it is self serve. I even gave him my credit card to pull out of his pocket. He felt so grown up - I could tell!

Now Faith DID fill her cup up pretty good but apparently she has a hollow leg because she said she could eat some more. Her Granddad was a soft touch and pulled out a $20 bill and told her to go for it!!

Levi told us on the way home that he had written a song!

He had INDEED!

He even played it for us!

Then Sam played the guitar.

We enjoyed our visit - ALL of our visits today!!

After we got home late this afternoon I wiped out the few chores I needed to do - as in changing out the flannel sheets to regular ones - and now I am ready to go to bed.

It's only 9:30 but my head and neck aches and I think SLEEP will be just the cure.

Also some Benadryl for the allergies which is the real culprit!
