Ok friends, I have a question. Before we come home from vacation, I always do laundry. I can’t stand the thought of taking dirty clothes home. Our campground has 2 laundry facilities on site, but we love this little laundromat that’s just down the road. They have all new Speed Queen machines and get the job done in no time.

What do you think? Do you do the laundry before you go home, or do you take it home to do? Also, check out my pics from the laundromat. Leave a comment on your favorite one. Harold and I are having a little friendly competition to see who will get more likes.

Good morning, friends!

We loved getting to have lunch and spend time with our friends Cason, Denise, and Carla. If you aren’t following Cooking with Cason Adams and South Alabama Cooks, you need to. They are all great cooks and even better people. We cook a lot alike, so give them a follow.

What are you doing today?

I have noticed something, and I wondered if y’all have noticed it as well. There are certain grocery items that we love to buy when we’re on vacation, but we can’t get them at home because our stores don’t sell them. Here’s an example for you:

Pineapple flavored cream cheese, and Gulden’s Honey Mustard.
We can’t find either anywhere at home. Whenever we are at the beach, we always buy them, and even buy extras to bring home.

After Amy and Shawn left on Sunday, she texted me and said, “Mama, I forgot to go by Walmart and pick up some of that honey mustard. Will you please send Daddy to go buy some?” We went and stocked up on enough for the both of us.

What about you? Do you have any items that you can only get on vacation? If so, what are they? Do you buy extras to take home? Tell us about them. Surely we aren’t the only ones. Gulden's Mustard, help! Please bring your delicious honey mustard to central Alabama!

Although my daddy went to heaven when I was 5 years old I am thankful for the father figures I had. I am married to the best daddy, granddaddy, and Gaga I know. I’m also blessed that my two “boys” Chris, and Shawn are wonderful fathers to my grandchildren. I hope they know how thankful I am for them.

Good morning, friends!

First of all, thank you so much for your prayers and concern about my pneumonia. I just thought I had a cough that wouldn’t go away. I am so glad I went on to the doctor, and I promise I am taking all of my medicine and doing my breathing treatments regularly.

Yesterday afternoon it rained for a while, so Amy and I got in some Mahjong! She won 2 games and I won 1. In the background of my picture, you can see Shawn and Mason playing dominoes. We are a game family, for sure. Do you like to play games? If so, what do you play?

Good morning, friends!

Remember how I had plans of spending this rainy day thrifting, sewing, and playing Mahjong? Well, that plan has taken a detour. Any guesses as to where I am starting off my day? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Guess how we are celebrated our anniversary. I went to Walmart with Amy to get groceries! She and Mason came down to the beach, and Shawn is coming down tomorrow. Griffin will be coming over to meet them as well. It is going to rain here at the beach tomorrow and Friday, so we will be doing some indoor things. Stay tuned for that.

In all reality, Harold and I had a wonderful day together. We went shopping at a few thrift stores (he was a sport and didn’t complain one time) and the outlet mall. We went out for a late lunch/early dinner. I appreciate all of the sweet anniversary wishes from you all. It’s been a wonderful day.

Good morning, friends. Happy Wednesday!

“To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; til death do us part.”

I guess we’ve experienced all of those extremes that our vows covered over the last 54 years. I am thankful for all of it, because I can see God’s hand in it all. It hasn’t always been easy, but it sure has been worth it.

Today is our anniversary. I sure do hope we get to celebrate many, many more.
June 17, 1972 ❤️

Hey friends. I had to share this with y’all for a few reasons.

First of all, look at precious John Sutton. He has grown so much, and he really is the best baby I have ever seen. Kylie has an app on her phone that does the white noise, and he has used it to sleep. The only issue is that it’s on her phone, so that ties up her phone when he is using it. Well, she found a perfect little sound machine that can clip to his car seat, crib, stroller, etc and ordered it for him. It has been amazing! This baby loves it!

Well, wouldn’t you know it, when Mason saw this new gadget, he wanted one. He has never been interested in sleeping with any noise, but John Sutton’s sound cube makes cool noises (white noise, birds/outdoors, the beach, heart beat, even a shhhhhh sound) AND it has different light settings. So all of a sudden, Mason thinks he needs to sleep with a sound machine. Amy ordered one for him and he was stalking the window waiting for his “libery” (delivery).

You know how when Walmart+ delivers, they take a picture of the delivery to ensure that it’s at the right place. Well, Mason was so happy he wouldn’t let them put it down. Y’all, Amy said the sweet delivery driver was so good with Mason and told him, “You just smile buddy. You can be in the picture.” This is the picture that was in her app. Is that not just something else? ❤️

If you or someone you know needs a great little portable sound machine that can double as a nightlight, my 2 great grandsons can sure vouch for this one. I am sharing the link in the comments. I bet you can even be in the delivery picture if you’d like. ❤️
