The Red Lobster…

I was treated to Red Lobster yesterday by my daughter and son in law.  It was great.  I had breaded shrimp, crispy red potatoes and Caesar Salad. (I hope I spelled that right,)  And of course the Cheddar Bay Biscuits which were  piping hot and delicious.  Then we came back to my place where we had some of the lovely cake and coffee.  It was delicious.

Following are a few pictures taken on the way home out of the car window in the back seat.

Thank you to Mike and Marcia for such a lovely day.

I hope you all are enjoying a great day.  It is sunny this morning and cool.  It was 38 degrees when I got up.

Stay safe and be happy!!

Valentine’s Day..

was nice!  I treated my daughter to lunch at Red Lobster.  We did a bit of shopping before.  It was a very nice morning.

Taken through the windshield of my car. 

The lunch was great.  We both had Sailor’s platters.  I love shrimp and the Cheddar Bay Biscuits are always delicious!  All in all a very lovely time.

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Lovely…

Mother’s Day present.  My daughter and son in law took me to the Red Lobster in Peoria for lunch today.  We all had the shrimp spectacular promotion.  Awesome!!  Potato breaded and hand breaded shrimp is what I had with coleslaw and baked potato and of course the cheese biscuits which I ate 3 of. My daughter gave me a lovely card and baked a cake for me.  I also received a beautiful card from my son.  My daughter has to work tomorrow, thus the early day presents.

Just a boot skip and a holler up the road from me is this fascinating little town called Creve Coeur.  The funny thing about where I live is one little town after another until you cross the bridge over the Illinois River and you are in Peoria.  But, back to Creve Coeur, I have been noticing this little restaurant tucked off to the side of the road  and for a long time I wanted to take a picture of it.  It is a quaint little country type restaurant and the name is what got me.  It is almost exactly the same as my WV sis’s name except for one letter.

My son in law was kind enough to turn the car around and take me back so I could get a pic of it to send to Rae.

The picture below is kind of spoiled because I am in it but my sis will like it.  lol

It poured down rain in Peoria and I am all bundled up for the weather. 

I hope you all had as nice a day as I did.  Do stay safe and be happy!!

Gonna be a hot one…

today as the heat index is to reach in the 100s today and tomorrow.  I am all settled in for the day having sweet talked my tomato into getter redder and watering the plants.  I have another tomato turning on the other plant.  It takes two tomatoes to make a really good bacon tomato sandwich.

I went with my daughter and son in law to the Red Lobster yesterday.  We had the 5 course meal for $15.  It was great.  I had soup, Caesar  salad, breaded shrimp, loaded baked potato and key lime pie.  I was so stuffed.  You see I am trying to eat enough for my twin  and me.  Anyway, if you get a chance to go to the Red Lobster do try this special.  And the cheese biscuits, I could make a meal on them alone.

The scanner part of my printer has never worked properly.  I should have returned it immediately (2 years ago).  My old scanner which I really liked wouldn’t work with Windows 7 so tomorrow I am heading out to staples to buy a new scanner.

I am trying to decide what to cook for lunch today, not really hungry after overeating yesterday.  I got some pork chops out of the freezer but I think I am too lazy to fix them.  I am sick as I can be of TV dinners, in fact I haven’t bought any for a few weeks now.

I have my iPod on the Bose speaker playing now and it is playing a Christmas song, Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.  I guess that is what I need to cool me off.  I have over 5000 songs on this iPod having taken my favorite songs from my hundreds of CDs.

Now it is time to read the paper and find out what is happening in central Illinois.
