St. Patrick’s!

We did St. Patrick’s at home this year. We haven’t found anything that even comes close to what the Husband’s church in California used to sponsor. Good, clean family fun with amazing food and Irish dancers. Someday we’ll go back to that church just for that event!

In the meantime, steaming potatoes, carrots and cabbage and crock pot cooking the corned beef is the way. I start them all out together in the crockpot for the tasty seasoning, and then split them about halfway through. otherwise, the potatoes and veggies get overdone.

The husband contributed cupcakes. we all wore our green. The child put on an Irish themed puppet show.

Roadster burger

We had to go back to Ford’s Garage last weekend. I needed to get their Cali Roadster burger. Honestly, that might be my go to order there from now on… along with that silly kid who wants to make me laugh all the time.

Cowboy Boots!

We’ve been in Texas over 5 years now. The boys got their first cowboy boots today! It was time!

I wandered through the store and was amazed at their selection. When I looked at the ladies boots, I was amazed at the handiwork on some of these boots. One pair in particular, I thought about buying until I saw the price tag. Over $600 was incentive enough for me to very carefully put them back on the shelf.

Sweet Figaro

This precious kitty. I have a pile of blankets and he buried himself in them and then poked his head out and went to sleep. I kept waking him up to pet him because he is too cute.

March is Monster Truck Time!

Last night, while the wind blew and the storm raged into town, we went to visit a monster truck!

We thought we could beat the storm in time. We were going to grab our food, take some pictures and skedaddle home. The storm had other ideas. It blew in like a banshee, the storm sirens wailed at exactly the same time to warn of the high winds. We headed back into the restaurant and decided to wait out the storm.

The crew with the monster truck came inside too and watched their rig through the windows.

The storm blew on through and we all went out merry way. We’ll see them all again on Saturday.

Little Red Car update

Little Red Car update: I called the shop I use for Specialty work and learned they closed down the mechanic part of their shop last year during the pandemic. They only sell after market parts now. He was kind enough to brainstorm over the phone with me, and he thought that I should start with cleaning my mass airflow sensor and change the air filter. So, that is what we did. I’ve been driving the car around close to home and so far it’s acting like it didn’t act like a dramatic 2 year old throwing a tantrum after bedtime. There are a couple other small parts that should be changed out as preventative maintenance, so I ordered them off of Amazon. Three of them came today, and I went to get them from the front door step, but they weren’t there. We checked the security camera and no one other than the delivery person had been out front. It’s windy here, so we walked the block thinking it might have blown next door. All to no avail, the package had vanished. My mom came in from swimming in the back yard and the package had blown OVER our house into the backyard. The Husband found the liftoff on the security camera. 🤣. Y’all, Texas houses are big enough to reside in two zip codes… this is an amazing feat!

Green Yellow

I learned today that I painted my nails the exact shade of a night vision glasses display case. Also, my thumb is apparently photo shy.
