CORN BREAD MUFFINS

CORN BREAD MUFFINS

   I put Mother to work today helping with Thanksgiving dinner.  She is making corn bread muffins.  I absolutely love this woman!

 

THE LONE RANGER

 THE LONE RANGER

   Mother was eating pineapple upside down cake this morning at 9:50, watching the Lone Ranger on the television when, out of the blue,  she said, "He has to wear a mask, too."  She is so funny.

GRAVY

 GRAVY

   It was mid-morning.  Mother had had her breakfast and morning medications hours ago.  I was feeling a little gnawing in my belly, so I asked Mother if she was hungry.  She said, "no", but that I should eat something.  I told her I would like some scrambled eggs and gravy and would she cook them for me.  Then I went into the spill of how great a little gravy tastes over scrambled eggs.  I must have been describing the taste for ten minutes when I asked her again if she would please make me some gravy.  Finally she said, "I've been cooking for you for 90 years and I'm not doing that any more!  Cook your own gravy!"

   How funny is that?  I'm not 90 years old!  hahahahaha

PECAN PIE

PECAN PIE

   The little girls and Hunter were helping me put the ingredients into the bowl to make the pecan pie for Thanksgiving.  Each of them had a number to indicate their turn in adding the ingredients.  Briley added the sugar.  When it was time to add the pecans, Briley said, "I don't like pecans but I like pecan pie because you can't taste the pecans."  I about fell over .  She consistently comes out with profound statements such as that.

I DON'T CARE FOR HAM

   I started my Thanksgiving cooking this year with the ham.  It took 7 hours in the oven to bake it.  While it was in the oven, Mother asked me what else I was going to offer for the Thanksgiving meal, because she "don't care for ham".  Do you know what her favorite meal is?  Ham hocks!  She loves ham hocks cooked for hours with onions.......but she don't care for ham!  hahahaha

SOMETHING IN THERE

   Mother was getting ready for bed and asked me to follow her to the bathroom to empty her bag.  O.k.   So, I sit down on the side of the tub after she sat on the toilet and she said, "There may not be anything in it but there is something in there."  I just looked at her.  She looked at me.  Then we both started laughing.

SMART PILLS

Mother had a question for me this morning:  "Tell me something, if they have a pill to make kids smarter, don't they have one for old people?"

Me:  busted out laughing  "well, if they had pills like that, there would be no democrats"  haha
