Thursday This and That

My favorite Applebee's dish--Southwestern Steak Salad.  Love, love love it.

Made this frosted fairy candle holder about a month ago.

The last of the cooking class.  They canceled and changed dates so much that everyone else dropped out.

Gift from my daughter.

My son and one of the stars of Blueblood's before he dropped out.  Wanted to get more talking parts.

Some of my angels and Mary statues.

Two of my grandchildren with Santa, hubby and I, my crone statue, a gift from my son, and a ballerina musical globe I have had for about 25 years.

Myself, my daughter, and my son's girlfriend.

 My 7th great granddaughter.

 My son with the Easter bunny.

My Aunt Ruth with my grandfather.  She was mom's older sister and wanted me to come live with her.  She did not like the way I was treated at home.  Mom said no.  Meanwhile, mom was always so cold and distant.

 An awesome book.  A journey that lasts from her 17 year old first love to her 64 year old run in with him again and all that happened in-between.  Now I am wanting to read it again.  A tale of love, hope, heartbreak and growing older and wiser.
