Lol! Extra deep fried clams for Storm it is! 😁 Now, if those clams weren’t fried and in my favorite clam chowder, I’d fight you for them! 😘

Congratulations to your sons for making Eagle Scouts, MD! How wonderful to have you as their leader. 😊

I love calzones just as you described them, dear twin. I don’t eat them all that often, but it was a little shocking to see the calorie count. I’m just going to let that fact slide of my brain and pretend I didn’t read it. 😉

I did not know November was a literacy month, and I was a teacher for over 20 years! 😳 Even though I liked math and science more than I like reading, I’m a big fan of books and literacy programs. Knowing how to read is one of the most important skills everyone should possess. Personally, my favorite author is Dutch (her name is Corrie Ten Boom). When I was a new teacher, a student’s mom gave me a copy of her book The Hiding Place, and reading it changed my life. Aside from it taking place in an area of Holland that my mom’s family is from, it’s the story of Corrie and her family, who were Christian watch/clock repairers, and their efforts to hide and shelter Jews after Germany invaded Holland. Towards the end of WWII, the Nazis found out what they were doing, so they suffered the same fate as the Jews...they were sent to concentration camps. Corrie was a middle-aged woman when this happened, and she was the only one in her family to survive. It’s such a great story of hope, humility, compassion, faith, and perseverance.

I’m not cooking for Mr. Happy today, but he did get a brand new wubba and a squeaky tennis ball this morning. He’s in heaven! 🐶🎾

I brushed my teeth even before I knew it was Brush Day! I do it twice everyday, whether it’s Brush Day or not! 😁

Hooray for vinegar! We wouldn’t have our favorite bbq sauces with out it! 👏👏👏

Hubby does most of the shopping and cooking everyday and knows his way around the kitchen pretty good! Both of our sons do pretty good jobs in the kitchen too.

Sending cheesy calzone hugs. I didn’t even have to sneak them out, as the toasted loaf got his fair share of the cheese! 🤗🤗🐶🧀📚💖🍁
