Quarantine hello

Hello everyone
We are fine here in Oklahoma and probably doing just about the same things as most of you.  

Staying home,  using gloves and hand sanitizer on the rare trips we make out,  have distant  visit with our family (which is good but just makes me miss them even more) gardening some,  sewing some, cooking and eating and watching tv- and I confess to playing way too much Candy Crush Soda- 

I haven’t planned meals as much I should so this week, I made a 2 week plan and hopefully we will mostly stick to it.  
Today,  I just made a batch of cole slaw to have with supper tonight and probably lunch tomorrow.  My husband really likes coleslaw and will eat big helpings.  



I followed this recipe except I chopped everything by hand, used yellow mustard instead of lemon juice and increased the sugar.  

The recipe is from this book- an oldie but still very good - copies of it are hard to find though 




My 2 week meal plan - 
Breakfasts  will be frozen sausage and biscuits, oatmeal, cereal, eggs and toast or pop tarts 
Lunch will be sandwiches or leftovers
Suppers will be as listed 


I will add more vegetables or salads and desserts to each day as we want too - 


This week is grandson JJ’s birthday.  His other grandparents had bought him a very special gift, he was going to be a batboy when the university in our town opened their brand new mens baseball stadium.  But that’s all been postponed.  So,  my daughter asked all their friends and family to send him a short birthday video and she got 47 replies! One was even from JJ’s favorite team on the Lego battle tv show.  



If you can,  enlarge the photo  to see his birthday shirt.  It’s a 7 wearing a facemask 😷 

Stay as safe as you can ❤️ Rhonda

What’s been going on

Hello everyone 
We’ve had full days with houseguests and appointments and I’ve been doing some rearranging and decluttering,  again - those last 2 things seem to reoccur often here.  

I sewed this Valentine advent calendar.  I intended to make them for all 3 homes of my grands but that didn’t happen.  I saw the idea on YouTube from Heidi Sonboul.  She has really good ideas, and they are mostly simple, thrifty and cute.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-qRjOBSP-h8ooxwQOmndtA 





Quilts of Valor 

My husband and my dad both received beautiful Quilts of Valor this week 


My mom made this cute crocheted snowman scene for the ledge by their front door.  


I am a huge fan of Walmart grocery pickup these days.  I highly recommend it!  



We’ve had a lot of cold days and rainy days and Ducky has done a lot of this- dog naps 😊
