Brownies!! Yummy!! I want one:). So much fun in the kitchen! Great job everyone:).

I went shopping for a new refrigerator today. SO expensive! We went to look at Lowe’s here. They were having a sale, but still WAY too expensive! It was fun browsing around. I’m hoping my little old white fridge lasts a little longer!

Having cream of wheat for dinner. I love to put cinnamon on top. It’s warm and comforting. My grandmother used to make it for us when we visited with her. Nice memories:).

Have a good night:). Love you all:)

Looks like everyone had a great time and your brownies and homemade potato chips. Both look delicious, it’s a shame I wasn’t there to try them :-)
The new teddy bear makes a nice addition to your table :-)
I hope you and Holly enjoy your shopping at the dollar tree today and enjoy your movie marathon tonight. Take care and have a really good day and a good weekend. :-)
