Cool, Crisp & SUNNY!



It was all blue sky and sunshine today. A perfect day for

                                  Sisters' Day Out.

First stop: shopping for summer stuff.

So many choices.

If you want to get noticed, buy this!

 It's the dressing room (in case you were wondering).
Nancy was in there a long time:)



Getting coupons in order.

Ready for checkout.

Cathy loves her new iPhone.
She's showing Patty pics of
her grandchildren.

Lunch:  We love this little place
on the main street of Arkport!




This is a huge piece of bacon
in my yummy BLT.

Cathy took a selfie of us all.
We always laugh.

This is a note I received from Tommy: -  Picture (below) taken yesterday at the Geo. Bush (43) Library in Dallas (on the Southern Methodist University grounds).  Judy's sister Marilyn and husband Fred are here for a 3-day-visit and that's one of the sights they had hoped to see.  At any rate, on the recommendation of a friend of Judy's who's a docent there, they made reservations for lunch in the Library restaurant.  

After 2+ hours of touring the Library they went to lunch...  they were, for whatever reason, taken thru the first, large dining area to a second, more private one...  they were the only ones in there when seated (it was 11:45-ish).  After they had ordered,  their waiter said "You didn't hear it from me, but Laura Bush will be dining here for lunch."  Sure enough, shortly after they had ordered, the waiter walked by and gave the a "Shh" sign;  secret service came in and stationed themselves at the door, and in came Laura Bush with two ladies and a man and were seated at the adjacent table!!!  As they were seated Laura said a friendly "Good Morning"...  and everyone went about their business... Judy, et. al., totally respected their privacy ... didn't bother them, and both tables had their own conversations... no gawking, or request for a picture, etc.  However... Fred (Judy's brother-in-law), who was facing their table was able to surreptitiously get a snapshot on his phone.  Long story, but they were thrilled and couldn't wait to tell me.  Thought you might get a kick...

. . . Yes, I did enjoy it very much, Tommy.

Judy's brother-in-law discretely took this photo of the former 
First Lady. 

Okay, some of the siblings want "equal" time.  So here I am
with Hillary at the Clinton Library, in Little Rock.  (2006??)

I made my favorite applesauce cake and
shared it with Nancy and Barry.
 Every time I make it I think of the quote below:


"It wouldn't be Christmas without Livvy's applesauce cake..."

Do you know where this quote comes from?!

"It says 'Made in CHINA'"




Have a great weekend!
