Sharing Nannie

Maria has allowed me to blog with her about the happenings on Petticoat Lane. So as you see I am doing my practice run. Here is a picture of Nan doing what she loves best working in the kitchen. At one time or another all that know her have set at her table for a meal and not been disappointed.

With a cup of coffee in hand

I sit here on the porch swing. It's a beautiful day here on Petticoat Lane. Sun is shining through the hill tops. They say it's going to be a high of 87. Finally the middle of August and we start having summer like weather. It's been a weird summer where weather is concerned. The garden here on Petticoat Lane didn't fare so well this year.
Been a busy week this week with everyone back to work. Caroline said they only managed to lose 2 kids here the first week of school, got on the wrong bus. Then they were fortunate enough to gain a kid. She didn't speak any English other than her name, which was Kennedy. Said it took them some time to figure out which school she was suppose to be at. Not seen or heard from Keith since he started back to school this week. Busy boy he is when school starts with the Sports Med program.
Dave went back to school this week too! They had him on a rooftop at a High School in Corbin. Trying to make sure he could get those teenie boppers cooled off. hehe.
Barry had the alternator go out in his mail vehicle. Frustrating I know.
Other excitement here on Petticoat Lane is we have new neighbors. They finished with the renovations of the block house and moved in. Instead of 4 bedrooms and 1 bath, it is a 3 bedroom with 2 bath. They added central heat and air along with new windows. The Mr. & Mrs. has two little girls and two dogs.
Yesterday Caroline came by Aunt Maxine's and brought her home with her for the day. They started the day off with breakfast. My what a spread these people put on. Doesn't it seem like the best families sit around the table and know how to make the best food?? Aunt Maxine needs to get some recipes on here soon.

I think I just got a whiff of Maria fixin' breakfast. My my it sure smells good. I think I best go see, and then be off to church. Come on over and she'll feed ya I'm sure. Cooks for an army like her Nannie. Then off to church we'll be...

1st Sitting Spell

Glad you are able to come by and sit on the porch a spell. It's a humid Saturday morning here on Petticoat Lane. Everyone is busy today, cause it's Saturday of course. Caroline and Maria are both (suppose to be) cleaning house. Barry is out in the yard working on getting the lawn mower tire on. Keith has gone to workout those football players at the college. Dave is putting Maria in a spicket out front and Aunt Maxine well she's puttering around the yard this morning.
Busy morning here on the the Lane, but have ya some tea, or maybe your coffee for the morning and we'll talk about what's happened here this week.......

It's been a busy week here. Caroline has gone back to work. School is getting ready to start back and she is getting prepared for all her little fun ones. She and Barry faired well this week after their long two week vacation out east. Pictures will be posted soon of their trip.

Keith finished his last week at Hardee's before college starts back up. Today is his first day back at Sports Med with the football team. Hopefully they won't be too rough on him. haha.

Aunt Maxine, she and Josh have been doctoring this week. She's had a scan on her kidneys. Everything is fine for now. They will check her again in 6 months. Dr changed her medicines around a little. She has been retaining too much fluid.

Brian was by earlier this week helping Aunt Maxine get her stuff back in the trailer after her big clean out she was doing. He made it two days in a row and we were all surprised. He is more of a "no show jones" haha.
