A FUN, FUN Super Bowl!

Dom and I haven't entertained since his cancer returned in April.  We were finally ready for this.

Had a BLAST
















We had:

*Country Ham from my pal in KY.  Thanks again, Goldie!
*Loaded Potato Salad
*Spicy Deviled Eggs with Siracha
*Cheeses
*Breads
*Bacon Wrapped Meatballs with brown sugar and chili powder
*Chocolate Covered Bacon
*Antipasto Skewers

Wendy brought a King Cake.  Dennis and Cheryl left after the game.  Wendy and Bubby spent the night, so the partied continued into Monday afternoon!

It felt SO GOOD to socialize once again!

It's Nice to be Loved- Such WONDERFUL Friends

We were stunned at the outpouring of help and love from our small social circle.

Firstly, Richard McM appeared with a wheelchair for Dom and built a wheelchair ramp from our Kitchen down to the Living Room.

He returned the next day to "tweak" the ramp and remove our Master bathroom door and knocked out the door frame.  Such a great help.  We love you, "Big Rich"!!!!
****************************************************************
Secondly, a family friend from Newbury, Ohio insisted on sending us a Transport Chair.  Someone had done it for her, and she wanted to "Pay it Forward".  (I promised her that I would do the same).  Wouldn't you know it-  Amazon delivered a beautiful new transport chair just 2 days later! I'm able to lift it easily.  I'm keeping it in the hatchback of my Eclipse.

So very thoughtful.  We LOVE YOU, Rondi!
***************************************************************
Shortly after this, Dom ordered a Burn Barrel.  Dennis and Cheryl picked it up, cut the bottom off of it and set it up for me.  THANKS, guys!  We LOVE YOU!
****************************************************************
Then, last week, Wendy and Bubby literally FILLED my refrigerator and freezer with oodles of food.  Red Beans/Rice with Sausage, White Beans with Ham, Chicken and Dumplings, Dirty Rice (better than Popeyes!!!).  Into the refrigerator went Crawfish Pasta Salad and delicious Potato Salad.

Bubby is returning soon with a friend to remove the cap off of Dom's pickup truck.  I can't see out the rearview mirror and don't trust myself driving that big thing with side mirrors.  What a GREAT help you have been to us!  Many THANKS!

WHAT WONDERFUL FRIENDS WE HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Fun Week with My Big Brother

Brother Ric flew down from Ohio for a week to visit.

It was non-stop fun.

Took him to 4 local joints for seafood, burgers and beers.

One day, Richard McM brought a young guy over to Weed-Whack for 6 hours.  Dennis, Cheryl and their adorable little dog, Maggie joined us, too.  Dom and Ric went into Bogalusa to get a lot of Popeye's Chicken, dirty rice, red beans/rice and biscuits.

Friday was Dom's 72nd birthday, so Ric took the 3 of out for delicious steaks.

It was so sad to see him go home on Saturday.

Another Fun St. Patrick's Day










We had big fun, as usual.

Wendy spent 2 nights.  The beer flowed.  Had the traditional breads and dinner on Friday, then made Rubens and bean soup (out of the corned beef broth) on Saturday.

The boys did some shooting.

Had a great time.

Tuesday's Christmas Dinner/Gathering













We had a lot of fun on Tuesday.  As I'm headed to Ohio on the 27th, we thought that we'd have our Christmas Dinner/Gathering on the 20th.

The usual suspects were here.... Bubby, Dennis, Cheryl and Joe.  Sadly, Wendy had to work.

Beer, wine, bubbly, martinis and Moscow Mules flowed.  Made a 22# Turkey.  We had a grand time, as usual.

Super Bowl 2016























We had big fun!  Our normal gang arrived Sunday afternoon and the fun lasted until almost 4am.

I had an 18# Country Ham, assorted breads, cheeses and mustards for sandwiches, loaded potato salad, bacon wrapped meatballs, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, bacon candy, balsamic deviled eggs and mini antipasto cups.

Everything was delicious!

And YES.  I realize that the Christmas decorations are still up.  We like 'em!
