We ate lunch with Grandy today at Red Lobster. My grandma Beej, mom, and I used to eat there each time we came home for a visit {during our 12 years in the military}. I guess Sarah eventually started eating with us, too. I always eat snow crab legs; today, Sarah also ordered a kid's portion. Boy there were a lot of shells to crack!!
In March 2007, Beej had surgery for colon cancer. The surgery and removal of cancer was successful, but during the surgery, her hernia expanded and compromised the air in her lungs...she has been in a nursing home and unable to walk ever since then. Until recently, she was also on a pureed food diet. So...today we snuck her in some coleslaw and those wonderful Cheddar Bay biscuits!
Anyway...while we were eating, Shane asked "What kind of animal does chicken come from, a pig or a cow?" We all answered "Chicken!" Shane then asked, "The bock-bock kind?"
With PaPa's farm in Burleson, the kids are immersed in a whole range of fun experiences. PaPa has many cows which he raises and then sells or butchers. He trapped three wild hogs [Bacon, Tenderloin, and Pork Chop]; we have enjoyed the meat from one-but, not sure which one. We also love to go down and pick fresh fruits & vegetables--corn, zucchini, squash, watermelon, blackberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and mouth-watering tomatoes.
Have I mentioned that I am so glad to be back in Texas and close to family!!
