Hello everyone! What a beautiful week of weather we have had. In the words of Floyd the Barber from the Andy Griffith Show “everybody wants to talk about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Floyd was a wise man.
Back to Atlanta, GA. The traffic there made me cover my eyes with my pillow. It’s awful. Years ago, my brother and his family, including Tonya and little Rachel, all went to Atlanta to watch the Braves play. Jason, my nephew, was driving and the traffic is so crazy everyone was yelling at him. My brother said that Jason stopped the vehicle in the five lanes of traffic, got out and told someone else to drive. It’s a miracle they were not all killed. I’m sure his nerves were shot, and it didn’t help that everyone was yelling. I wish this could have been on video. They survived and got to the hotel with their Walmart sacks for luggage and enjoyed the ballgame.
I always find someone to talk to when I am traveling, it drives Jacob insane. He said, “mom, people do not want to talk to you.” How does he know? They may really want to talk to me. I started talking to this man at Buc-ee’s who was waiting on his wife and my brother said, “who is that?” I had no clue, but what is funny is my brother ended up talking to him and the man was a Braves fan also.
I was at a restaurant one time and see this lady that looked just like Tonya Wagoner. So, I asked her if she knew Tonya, she didn’t but I told her she looked just like my niece, who teaches at Greenwood. Jacob is about to croak. He just can’t handle the fact that I am friendly and like to talk to people. You won’t ever have to worry about him talking to strangers, that will never happen.
I was on the elevator in Atlanta at the hotel and Peggy called me by my name. This man on the elevator with us said “bye Sheri” when I went to get off. The next day, I saw him again and he spoke to me. His wife said, “he was wondering this morning what Sheri was doing today?” My brother thinks I am famous. I even saw a friend of mine from Alma at the Braves game. What are the odds of that?
This is the last story about the vacation, and I know y’all are glad. I may have some repeat stories since I heard I had some new people that have been reading my article. Have a wonderful week and count your blessings! This is an easy peasy recipe, but delicious and quick. It would be great for breakfast or as a dessert.
PEACH PIE CUPS
1 12.4 oz. can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls with the icing in the package (8 ct.)
1 21 oz. can of peach pie filling (chop up the peaches)
Heat oven to 374 degrees and spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray or use paper muffins if you would like. Separate dough into 8 rolls and let stand ten minutes. Place rolls cinnamon side up into the muffin cups. Press in the bottom and sides of the muffin tin. Spoon two generous tablespoons of pie filling into each dough lined tin. Back 14 -18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for five minutes before removing. Drizzle the icing that came with your cinnamon rolls on top and enjoy. You can always use cherry or another one of your favorite pie fillings.
