weekend is here...


fresh bread

This is what DH and I eat every morning for breakfast... a half slice of fresh made bread (No, I didn't make it). But a slice of warmed bread with butter and a cup of coffee make up our daily breakfast. 

Oh, on occasion (but very seldom) we will have eggs and bacon or biscuits or pancakes... but more than likely we have this type of breakfast for supper (especially at the end of the week when we've just about run out of groceries).

One of our favorite suppers is a dutch baby with lots of butter, lemon, powdered sugar... and a few slices of bacon!

****************

Not a lot going on here at the moment... well, birthdays abound! From August though December, we have have about 10 birthdays in our family. Two this year are fairly big ones... oldest grand daughter turned 18 and oldest grandson will be 21 in a few weeks. Don't know how these kids got so old so fast. Time sure flies.

OK... closing this with a few pics of the progression of
Cheeky Chickens 2nd generation!
                                                                                   





These are slightly bigger than the first generation... and have added 3 dimensional wings instead of carved in... and may possibly be colorful shades of pink, blue, and purple (this is still a maybe?).
 

The round ball in the back is clay over a balloon which will be covered with tiny snakes and fired in the ground... (an experiment in the making).



And lastly I want to thank those of you who read my book (Time After Time by D'Arcy Regan Hart) and put a review on Amazon.  I may never have a ton of readers, but it makes me very happy that the few who have read it seemed to enjoy it. Thanks again.

Have a wonderful weekend and as always thanks so much for reading and sharing this time in my life with me.


Hugs,
Rian

  1. Time seems to fly by fast, especially when we see the children and grandchildren grow.

    1. It does, doesn't it, John? And it's not like I want to do it all over again... but the memories are mostly all good. It's funny, when I dream or even think about it, I still see my children and grandchildren as they were at a young age.

  2. I was one of those who bought your book and enjoyed it tremendously. I read a great deal and enjoyed your book as much as many by authors much better known... but not better writers! :-)

    1. Thanks so much, DJan. That means a lot to me. It's nice to know that you created something that someone else enjoyed.

  3. I have the same for breakfast, except toasted, lots of butter and jam.

  4. I can almost smell the fresh bread. Nothing gets my saliva glands moving like that. Your grands managed to keep their adorableness in tact.

    1. I too love fresh bread, Patti. I try to make myself eat more protein (an egg occasionally), but bread is what my body wants. As for the grandkids, we are lucky as they are really good kids.

  5. I usually have toast and coffee, but every once in a while a big breakfast is fun. (Even more fun if someone else prepares it and cleans up afterwards!)
    The grandchildren pictures are so precious. They do grow too fast.

    1. As much as I love fresh bread and coffee for breakfast, my comfort food is buttered toast and hot tea...

  6. I tend to have an egg on toast, or yoghurt with berries and granola. I feel I need some protein to start the day. Though we do have breakfast for dinner once a week, an omelette or pancakes with sausague or bacon go over very well.

    Love the little chicks! Happy Birthday to your grandson and granddaughter!!

    1. Hi Mae! Once in a while I will fry up a slice of bread with the center cut out... add an egg to the middle and get our protein in that way .

  7. I usually have Cheerios for breakfast, it is whole grain and I don't add sugar. Plus a cup of tea. Simple is nice isn't it, especially since I am retired. Those chickens look cute.
