Happy Thursday friends~I hope you had a delightful and quiet 4th. We did, more about that in a minute.
You may all remember how I've described myself as very visual when it comes to food; well on Monday, we ate our first "Missy" steaks and I wasn't bothered at all. In fact, the meat was so tender and flavorful I knew I needed to get a photo for you all.
The beans were farm fresh last summer and frozen; the flavor just as good as fresh. I think we are going to really enjoy this meat.
As you know we had a sleepover Wednesday night with 7 out of 9 grands. Here is the tent hubby put up for them; what you can't see is the t.v. in front of them. We had such fun, watched "Dolphin Tail" and loved it; they had all seen it before but hubby and I hadn't, it was well worth it! The evening and night went really well except that my Peanut needed to cuddle with her nana all night-so we slept upstairs. When the grands are here, I am a very light sleeper-anytime I hear a noise I jump up and check on them. Yesterday morning we were awakened at 5:30 so we had an early breakfast too, chocolate chip pancakes. We all went to the parade and that was fun. In the evening hubby and I went to Carrie's house for their annual 4th party; we had dinner there and then went to our local, annual 4th town concert and fireworks. Today I am very tired!
I think this weekend will be just as busy; we will be dogsitting Lily while Carrie & family go camping. They recently got a tent trailer and her kiddos have been so anxious to try it out. I think we are planning on driving to the lake they'll be at(an hour away)and take the two dogs with us. We will just have lunch and then head home. I think I may just close my eyes a bit right now.
Have a wonderful afternoon and evening.
Noreen & Hunter

Hello Noreen!! It has been so long since I stopped by--But with being out of town, the power outage, life hasn't slowed down much to catch up! :-) Your dinner looks wonderful, and what great fun you had with your Grands!! I never really knew my Dad's parents, but I remember sleepovers at their home, so I know this time will be very special and always remembered by them and you too!!
I hope all is well and Hunter is doing great too!!
Such fun for the grandkids - it looks like it was a great tent too. And oh that steak looks so good to us.

Oh Noreen, the grands in the tent is just darling...how fun for all of them. Your 4th sounds perfect to me, though I can see why you feel dozy today, haha. The steak looks wonderful too!
Noreen- How cute those kids are all snuggled in for a movie. I sleep very lightly, too, when the kids sleep over. It sounds like you had a busy day yesterday and I, like you, am beat today-xo Diana
Hunter will love having Lilly to play with! Looks like you had a great holiday!!
Your friends,
Murphy & Stanley
PS - We got rain today!
Hi Noreen,
Wow, that food looks mighty fine and hope you enjoyed every biteful.
Your grandies are all so cute rowed up there watching tv. I have not seen dolphin tail yet, and glad you reminded me because a lil gal that used to go to our church is in it as well as her children. We were just looking for a movie to watch, so think we will see if we can download it from netflix. Thanks,
sounds like you had a great fourth of July with your family, good for you...........
Take care sweetie,
blessings, Nellie
You are just the best Nana, Nor!! I know you are giving your grandies fabulous childhood memories to cherish for years to come! What a joy!
With one still at home, I sometimes feel like I don't quite measure up to the wonderful Nana my Mom was. I guess there is just always so much going on around here!!
Love you!
Have a lovely Friday and weekend!

Looks like a fun time with the grandkids.
Hi- its me Tweedles
I want to thank you for stopping by my bloggy- and leaving your beautious comment.
I want to say "welcome".
Your bloggy looks peaceful to me, and I cannot wait to read about your journeys. I have blog friends in beautiful Colorado. I have been remembering to say prayers for all the familys and furrys who had to run away.
Thank you again for visiting me.

Your steak dinner looks yummy!
I haven't seen Dolphin Tail, although DD and the Ts have ... and we want to take a day trip to go see Winter when we take them all to Florida on vacation next year.
Our 4th was very quiet ... just DH and me. I got my T-time last night, so it's all good.
