Lately we’ve been throwing out some different salads for you, and Deb’s right, I do love a good, cold salad on a hot day. Honestly, they are so refreshing, had one for supper tonight, a number 1 wash tub full of it…fruit too.
But you know, I do love something sweet after supper. That’s my weakness, sweets! But good gracious, they are so good, with a big ole’ glass of ice-cold milk. Pie, cake, pudding, shoot, even an ole’ bag a M&M’s are hard to beat in a pinch!
I tell you, I used to love to chase the girls, but anymore about the only way I’d chase one, is if she had a homemade chocolate chip in her hand! That heifer’d be in big trouble then! Why don’t we make something sweet today?
Thank Shelley Mae, once more…
