AGING---READY FOR THE NURSING HOME YET?

Ever wonder what your

GRANDKIDS

will look like as

OLD PEOPLE?

I recently went to a

PLAY put on by the

SUMMER PROGRAM

(NOT DAYCARE, NANA)

that my grandson,CJK, attended

this summer.

They did a parody of

OLD PEOPLE

in a nursing home

listening to music

from their past.

(I fit right in except for the

nursing home part).

The play was so much fun.

Here is what he looks like

with gray hair and glasses.

My dad actually had a head of hair

like that only it was silvery white.

Here is a 10 second clip of his 
ONLY LINE~
He has a really deep little voice.

And...yep...Nana was there, too.

Look at his expression.

Gotta love a kid like that.

OH!  To be young again, huh?!

Have a great day!!

RIP CURTIS CANNON-Prayer Request Follow Up

Good Morning!

I really HATE doing this

kind of post.

It is a follow up to a 

PRAYER REQUEST

by Curtis's wife, Sylvia

A Grandma's Blessing.

Curtis fought a good fight

but lost his battle

to health issues.

His healing was not to be

here on earth.

Please pray for,

or wing healing thoughts 

and good wishes,

to

Sylvia & her family

as they start to walk this

new life path.

Thank you so much for the prayers,

thoughts and love 

you have sent already.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Love to all of you-

TWO PRAYER REQUESTS FROM BLOGGERS~

I got an urgent request last night

from Sylvia.

Her blog is A Grandma's Blessings.

She would like prayers for 

her hubby, Curtis.

His health has been compromised

for a long time and 

Sylvia has dealt with it admirably.

However, yesterday he was 

admitted to the ICU

with respiratory failure.

She asked me to let everyone 

know that she won't be posting

(for a while) and to ask you to 

please pray.

Here is a picture of them in

better times.

The second prayer request is from

Debbie-Dabble

A while back I put out a prayer request

for her beloved nephew, John.

He had cancer and in the picture below

his poor body was already showing

the ravages of the disease.

His spirit was strong and 

he was a loving, giving man.

A man of medicine that helped make others well,

but for him there would be no  earthly healing.

Please pray for his sweet family,

his mom & dad, his wife,

and his beautiful children.

Pray for Debbie too.  

She will miss him terribly.

His obituary is here if you would like to read it.

As always, thanks for your prayers 

and if you don't pray.

please send well wishes 

and healing thoughts their way.

Personally, I believe we are all in this

GAME OF LIFE 

together and we need to support

and uplift each other

as much as possible.

I have been out of town and then

came back to lots of work

so I will do the 

Pick Your Favorite Results

on Friday (Lord willing and the river don't rise).....

I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM?

You know one thing 

I love about 

summer?

Ice Cream!

Now you can go to

an ice cream shop but----

Is there anything better

than homemade

ice cream?

This tastes like a 

DREAMSCICLE!

Remember those from when

you were a kid?

Well, I made ice cream

that tasted much like that!

ORANGE CRUSH ICE CREAM

Ingredients:

6 cans of ORANGE Crush Soda

2 cans Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 cup sugar

Put 2 cans of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk 

into a big bowl.

Stir in the sugar.

Slowly pour in one can of Orange Crush to

combine the first can of soda with condensed

milk and sugar.

Continue adding 5 more cans of Orange

Crush.

Add the mix to ice cream freezer.

Crank up the ice cream maker.

Mix until the ice cream is firm.

Let sit several minutes to "ripen".

Freezes well.-Makes 3 quarts.

So- after mixing this-

I dug out the old

ice cream maker,

and cranked her up.

Here is where the 

I wanted to SCREAM

comes into play.

She made a few turns

and groaned and moaned.

We "helped" her run

until her motor quit.

Thankfully, the ice cream

was almost done.

Bye-Bye old girl!

At least we got this out

of you before you died.

I went to Sam's Club

and found a new friend.

Hello Baby!

You sure are a pretty thang!

Aroma (don't you love the name)

 ran perfectly and 

we were delighted with

this- 

OLD FASHIONED CUSTARD ICE CREAM

We really like the custard

rather than ice cream.

Ohhhh...This is sooo good!

It's too bad that 

no one in this family likes

ice cream!

THIS ONE

 would rather have

a cupcake

at the local trough buffet.

It's an old picture-

I wonder if SweetCheeks remembers

that day like I do.

Bittersweet-to see them grow up.

isn't it?

Anyway-moving along-

If you don't have an

ice cream maker, or have

never made your own ice cream,

you are missing one of

life's special little joys.

Yes. You. Are.

Have a wonderful weekend.

I will be back with a

PICK YOUR FAVORITE

the first of the week!

Pinky Promise!
