My Sunday In Illinois....

Today our day started out with a good cooked breakfast. I know, I know, I should not be eating like this, but boy was it ever good. My favorite meal is breakfast...always has been!!

We went out to see our oldest granddaughter march in a parade in a very small town. I had not been to one of these in a long time and so it was fun to go to once again. They had trucks and tractors and people throwing candy everywhere. Our grandson was out there gathering as much candy as he could get. We forgot to bring a sack but he was getting as much as he could and bringing it back to his mommy as fast as he could. We got quite a haul of cavity rotting candy!!

After that we had to wait until the
BEARS game was over but the good thing was that they WON!! This weekend both the BEARS and the CUBS have won!! It just seems like with us coming back here to Illinois both of my hubby's favorite teams have been winning! To get back to what I wanted to say....after the games we got to go to an apple orchard!! Even the guys went along....The picture at the top is from the orchard. I found a couple of things there that I just had to have. I could have bought a LOT more but did not do it(being good).....WE got caramel apples with peanuts on the top!! YUMMY!! DIET...did anyone say diet???...CAN ANYONE SAY DIET!! NOT me!!

Supper is about ready here. It has been raining and messing up the beautiful weather that we have been having. Guess I had better get off of the kitchen table or I will be fed to the brood of teenagers that live here!! *smile!!

Miss you all...FLIP FLOP FLOOIE!!!!

Ohhhhh Floozie! It just looks like you are having TOO much fun with those grandkids! I LOVE the pic of you trying on hats! How cute! (you know I'm a big fan of hats!) And I'm also a big fan of apple orchards! I couldn't eat a caramel apple if I wanted to though -- my teeth would fall right out of my head! I envy you oldies that CAN eat things like that! Looks like Ricky was a really good sport about the whole thing too... I hope he got something GOOD at the toy store!

Can't wait to see the beauties in their RED gowns! Oh booooy!

I think when you visit relatives, you have to eat!! DH's aunt and Uncle came to visit us from Ohio. We went out for breakfast, icecream, and dinner, all in one day...I was soooo stuffed!!!

Diet is a four letter word....especially now that you're having too much fun to be concerned with THAT!!

What kinda apples? I love those days. The parade sounds like a real down home kinda parade...nothing can top it either.

Don't worry Sandy...you can diet when you get home!
