7.7--Busy Saturday

Saturday afternoon I spent at Joyce Brubaker's house for a quick visit.  She, as always, cooked a super tasty lunch for everyone to eat...

*Seasoned Zucchini on the Grill*
*Salad from the Garden*
*Succulent Cherries*

Sorry this is sideways...here's the zucchini...

Absolutely so delicious and healthy...

After lunch at Joyce's we went to go visit Austin.  Austin had a nasty accident and broke both his arms in a couple places, had wires and screws put in...poor boy.  We decided to bring him some gifts and bake Essie (and the family) some supper.

Becky signing Austin's cast...


She signed it "Becky"...even though he has to call her Miss Baldwin.


Jessica Rose picking her spot to sign...


I got Austin a card and accidentally licked it shut before Becky could sign it.  As Austin opened up his card, she grabbed it out o' his hand and quickly signed the card.  It was quite funny.  He didn't know what to think!

Here's your card back...

"Doesn't this make you want to pull his tongue?"--Becky

Me and Austin!!!


This boy is such a tough kid...I admire his cheerful attitude and spirit.

.....Awww.....

Adam came to visit Austin too!!


Austin and Jessica Rose...can you say...ADORABLE?

All o' us....


Close up...we love this kid!!!


Even though Austin doesn't look thrilled, he loved this present.  I got him a bell that he could ring and someone would come to his side and figure out what he needed.  The only bell I could fin was a girl angel; so I spiced it up a li'l bit!  Can you see "his" pants and shirt?  Hopefully, he was able to use it...

This is MY Essie....


We were on our way home and there was a group o' people standing in the middle o' the road and they wouldn't move.  We literally drove up to them, and they just stared at us...How retarded!?!


Me and my new friend, Becky!!


What a busy Saturday, but we sure did have lots o' fun!! (:

4.7--Easter Lunch

April 2012

 Happy Easter!

Another year to celebrate Jesus's Resurrection!  We had a delicious Easter morning breakfast at the church and the service was lovely with music, scripture reading, and the preaching.

"Christ is risen...Christ is risen indeed!"

For a late we decided to try a new honey ham recipe.
Ham, cloves, honey, butter, lots o' other stuff too.

It smelled soo good!!

Every 10 minutes we had to drizzle the sauce over it.

Finally done...Absolutely Divine!

It was very tasty and maybe this will just have to be an Easter tradition for us Finnegans.  It was a fun meal that we made together....I love doing things together with my sweet honey!!!

THE   END!!!
