The Brod Abode ~~ Where life's a hoot!

Tomorrow Mike and I will celebrate our first date 41 years ago! He didn't remember the right date when I asked him as men are sometimes want to do. I'll let it slide this time. Who knew 41 years ago when he took me to feast at Pancho's Mexican Buffet (all you can eat for $1.49) and then to one of the most lovely older theaters in Dallas that would be it for both of us. II can't remember the name of the theatre but it was elegant and beautiful. And I could still climb stairs without screaming in pain. We saw The Godfather. There were embarrassing parts and the violence and language was so colorful for a simple 17 year old like me but it was a good movie, to say the least. We had a nice time. That summer I was kind of dating around (that sounds weird) but after that night I never went out with or looked at another guy. Mike and I had known each other for several years. He and I both worked at King's Rexall in Lewisville. We had our first fight there. He worked in the

Wonderful news overnight. Little Jacks on has taken a turn for the better. While he is still gravely ill he is fighting and God is answering prayer.

Hoot and Boo give a shout out or should I say squawk out to everyone! They received a

I really haven't gotten any better keeping up with this blog. How will I ever be famous, LOL? Everyday I see many blogs that are just fabulous. The talent out there takes my breath away. The photos? Oh my goodness.....I just have to dream on. I've mastered the camera on my iPhone and that's about as basic as it gets. I guess Ree Drummond really started a fad in photographing each step used to create her fabulous recipes. I'm more the "here is what you need" "to make it look like this".  Or a picture of the finished product maybe. I guess what I'm getting to is don't expect the same from this blog. This will be more of a few recipes shared by me, crafts created by me, gardening etc. If anyone ever does read my humble blog please feel free to post recipes, crafting ideas, good movies you've seen....just simple ordinary everyday things shared by friends. It's been my desire so many times to speak from my heart on Facebook. I do love F
