Try to ignore the food on her upper lip..I promise it wasn't a booger!
A good spoon is fun to play with...Granny is always prepared.
Rumor has it that when the cenizo blooms it is going to rain...guess what, it bloomed and then it rained. The hills were so pretty and green with splashes of deep pink.
If only you could have smelled this baking. It has since been consumed...mostly by myself!
We've been having lots more fun out at Mimi and Papa's. Lena Kate and I have been cooking some nice cool weather food now that the first cool front of the season is upon us. How does chicken and dumplings and carne guisada sound? Tasty it was!...and we have leftovers. Plus, we went into town to the best BBQ place around. Smolik's is quite a gem for Mathis, Texas. They serve up some mean brisket, chopped beef sandwiches(bbq buns as Granny calls them:) ribs, sausage, and fabulous chicken fried steaks to boot. Add a side of fried okra or onion rings and I'm in a place as close to food heaven as you can get.
Papa is doing better every day. Yesterday I knew he was feeling better since he started giving me a hard time about what show we were going to watch on tv.
Today we have a big trip to take Granny and Mrs. Edge to 5 Points to go to the big Beall's sale. Honestly, I think they have one every week, but it ought to be quite an adventure. That is, of course, after Granny gets her hair done. I think we are also going to stop at Hobby Lobby to get some items for Lena Kate's Halloween costume. She is going to be a cute little friendly ghost. I can't wait to get it complete...just wait for the pictures!...oh, the suspense.

Those flowers are just beautiful! I bet it's pretty to see hill after hill of them. I'm drooling at the thought of chicken fried steak and fried okra. Yummm....my hubby loves BBQ and I think could eat it every meal of every day. ;)
I am so jealous that you are home in Mathis and I'm not. We spent last weekend in San Angelo and the birds were really flying. Wish you and Lane had been there to go hunt with us instead of with my stinky brother. ;-) Please tell your parents hello for me. Glad WA is doing well.
Hehe! Lena Kate looks so funny with the spoon inside her mouth.
I'm a food-lover, and I can't hide the fact that I was 'drooling' too because of the food mentioned!
I hope your family are okay, especially your dad.
