Southern Supper!

Tonight for supper (yes, I say supper...as a true southern gal should...) we had

Paula Deen's pulled pork sandwiches
Coleslaw with Momee's (my grandmother) coleslaw dressing
salt and vinegar potato chips

and Paula Deen's Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding!

And it was Mmm Mmm good!!

More Military Musings

This time, it's about health care.

So, I call to make an appointment with my primary care provider...

Operator: "hmm, let's see...you've been assigned to XYZ AFB. They do everything different there..."

Me: awkward silence...

Operator: "Okay, looks like you're with Dr. So and So....and she's on the red team. They have a red team and a blue team there..."

Me: (thinking to myself) "What??? The red team? I've never heard of such a thing."

Operator: "Okay, let's look at her schedule....hmm, it says there are no appointments available. She must be on TDY. They do that a lot at XYZ Air Force Base. Let's try someone from the blue team...

Me: sheepishly "okay?"

And it went on from there. After it was all said and done, there was no appointment made. You can't take your child to the clinic, so we have to get Boo enrolled in childcare on post, which has been an experience all on it's own. Maybe I'll give you a little snippet of that one tomorrow.

But seriously...a red and blue team??? My primary care doctor is on TDY???
Ahh, gotta love it! :)

Awww!

Finally, a photo from the swings. And don't worry, we got his hair cut this weekend! :)

Mmmm! Lemonade!

Can you put your shoes away?

Giving Mama kisses. This totally melts my heart!!!!

Hodge Podge

Helping Daddy weed the rose garden. He loves to "help" in the yard.

Gettin all of those weeds :)

Our new fort!

The box fort didn't last long and I saw this at Target and fell in love with it! It was reasonably priced too!

The cow tunnel to go with the fort!



The Family Mile!
I had all of the family photos that used to be above G's changing table blown up and laminated.
They're hanging in our loft/playroom at Boo's eye level so he can learn who his family is. Our line up includes BeBe and PawPaw; Granny and Grandpa; Aunt P with K, M, and A; Aunt R with D; Uncle A and E; and MamaLove with G-Boo.

Remembering

Taking time on this Memorial Day to remember all who have sacrificed for our country. Some will remember those from the distant past and others will remember someone who recently made the ultimate sacrifice. Prayers for peace for all who are suffering.

I would also like to take a moment to remember my sweet Aunt Rosemary. She passed yesterday. She was at home and all of her children were with her.

Aunt Rosemary was just the sweetest person you'd ever meet. She loved life and she l-o-v-e-d to laugh. And her laughter was infectious. Almost like the scene in Mary Poppins where they were all laughing and rising to the ceiling. That's what I will miss the most about her. She seemed to see the world through rose colored glasses. And not to a fault either. In a way that made you wish that that's how you saw the world too. And my Uncle Carson...he just absolutely adored her and took such good care of her. They were so much in love.

I think we're all at peace with her passing. It has been a long time coming, but still, we're saddened that she is no longer with us. And, it makes me sad to think of Uncle C without her. He has been totally devoted to her for as long as I can remember.

Prayers for peace for our family and especially for comfort for Uncle Carson.
