Home Of The Ugly

Wait for it....wait for it.....Ok you'll just have to wait for it, my funny surprise and the explanation of today's title that is;  first I need to tell you about the day, starting with breakfast and by the way, I slept really good. This is what I had for breakfast...vanilla yogurt, sliced banana, cornflakes, special K, cheerios and peanuts with a slice of toast spread with peanut butter and topped with more sliced banana, ta-da monkey breakfast. This was good and very filling, but not quite as good as the first time I fixed it.

 

 

As you know, today is Sunday and you may or may not know, today is usually when we do late lunch/early dinner at Mom's, so after breakfast I started getting ready to go. Today was not the day to miss. It was a beautiful, sunny day, it was warm outside, nearly 70 degrees and the grand babies were coming. Here's a couple of shots of the kids from today, which I played around with in Picasa, a great free program I use to organize and edit my photos.

Lexi who just took a big bite of the cake with cool whip, which she requested.

And Miss Mary being her adorable self

When we got to Mom's, Lindsay, Reese and the grand babies arrived at the same time. Lexi escorted me into the house, while telling me about a book she got at church. She was very excited about it and once inside ran to tell her Nana (Mom) about the book. I'm Mimi by the way, for those of you that don't know. While Lexi announced her presense and everyone said their howdy do's, I got my camera out and started getting photos of all the food or at least the food that was ready, which was everything but the barbecued chicken and teryaki rice and since those were not ready they were missed. Sorry. It's all or nothing with me, I guess.

 Fried Chicken

Roast beef and potatoes (some of today's shots were not too good.)

Stuffed Portabellas (I hope someone wrote down the recipe, lol)

Broccoli Casserole

Macaroni Salad

Mashed Potatoes

Salad - spinach, cucumber, lettuce, carrots and cheese

Cornbread

And for dessert there was chocolate cake with peanut butter icing sprinkled with crushed peanuts

And Apple Crisp

This is what I had.

I couldn't eat it all....had to save room for dessert, lol. I had a piece of the chocolate cake. I'm a sucker for peanut butter not to mention chocolate, unfortunately, I was running my mouth and I stuffed it in my face without thinking of getting a photo. Sorry, but it was goooood. 

I had a wonderful time today. I really enjoyed seeing everybody and spending time with the grand babies. It was so nice to go outside and sit in the swing with Mary and watch Lexi play in the yard. It was a good day.

Now my explanation of the title and the surprise.. No more waiting.....On the way over to Mom's we took a detour. We rode by a place called the Apple Baking Company. After seeing their sign, I just had to get a photo. It just struck me as the funniest thing. What do you think? Hope you get a kick out of it too.
