We had a Great Time while we were on this Treasure Hunt

 &

 We will be revisiting this Town again Soon! 

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

While we were there ~ outside in the parking lot 

we found this little Guy & his ( Brother/Sister )

 in a knot hole in this tree

WHOOOO

This Little Guy was Shy!

He says Whooo do you think you are ~ I'm trying to sleep here ?

Please go away!!!

In my life I had never dreamed that I would ever see this so Up Close in the wild

 &

 then even be able to touch him too.

What a TREAT that was to me !

SWEET!!!!!

DON'T FORGET I LOVE IT ~ WHEN YOU COMMENT !

Just like my "Momma" used to make

Pan Fried Chicken

I have been craving some "Southern Fried Chicken" like my Mother used to make.

The kind where you buy the chicken & cut it up yourself like we used to do way back when!!!

888888888888888888888888888

Sad thing is that most cooks nowadays don't know how to cut up their own chicken.

Nor do they want too!

I cut it up then ~ Salt & Pepper & Flour then I fried it in Crisco.

I know that most people use "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" these days but I remember when

 Mom used Crisco & that was good enough back then !

Made it Extra Crispy!

Golden Brown

It's WAY better than KFC!!!

Sorry ~ Colonel Sanders

Seam rising smells so GOOD !!!

Then you've just Got to make Gravy out of the Crispy Crunchy Drippings ~ Right?

Creamy Chicken Gravy to put on top of your Mashed Potatoes !

Just like I remember ... Yummy!!!

Fried Chicken ~ my favorite piece was the Breast / Pulley Bone !

served

 with

 Mashed Potatoes, Chicken Gravy, Corn, Cottage Cheese & Picked Beats! 

Ya just can't beat it ~ Deli-sh !

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The Wish Bone / Pulley Bone

I remember when we kids were finished eating. 

We would fight over who would get to brake it & make a wish.

Two people pull on the bone; the person with the larger piece of bone after it breaks in two is said to get his or her wish.

Great Memory's

??? To Paint or Not To Paint ???

My Director Chairs Redo

Chairs ~ $5.00 each

Yard Sale Fabric ~ $3.00

2 Chairs = $13.00

#1 Chair

I just finished

making the new seat covers.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The old chair cover I made several years ago out of new dish towels.

They have been rained on several times & they had mildew spots all over them.

So it's time to make new covers

getting started ~ setup the sewing machine

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is one of those jobs that I have had on my to-do list for weeks now.

I don't know why I am such a procrastinator.

It didn't even take me but about 45 min's & I had it all done! 

# 2 chair finished

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Now I need your opinion !!!!

Because they are not a matched pair ~ I was thinking that maybe it would look better?

To paint or not to paint

&

if I paint then what color?

White, Black, Green or Red ?
