Hello everyone! Hello everyone!
Well, we know how Noah felt. We sure have had the rain! My yard was knee-high before it dried out enough to mow.
My older brother, Larry — aka Toby, aka Bobes, aka Dad — turned 78 this week, and 21 of us loaded up and went to the Catfish Barn for supper. Ya’ll all know I was the loudest one there. We enjoyed all the food and fellowship, and I saw cousins from both my dad’s side and my mom’s side of the family who just happened to be eating there. Good times.
I don’t know if I’ve told ya’ll this, but I have crazy dreams. They always seem so real, and they make no sense at all. I was dreaming the other night that I had a container of oatmeal in my bedroom and spilled it all over the carpet. I was having to clean it up, and when I woke up, I was so glad it was only a dream.
Don’t you hate when you work all night in your dreams and wake up wore smooth out? I’ve done that many times. Another one I hate is when I’m lost and driving all over creation looking for where I’m supposed to be going. The worst is when you’re falling in your sleep. I can’t believe I haven’t fallen out of bed yet. It scares me bad.
Well, I have a cure for all that nonsense, and it came from my nephew. Ya’ll know the one. He says if you drink a glass of cold water before you go to bed, you’ll sleep sooo good. How can you sleep good if you’re going to the bathroom all night?
Ya’ll also know how I lose stuff all the time. Well, a couple of months ago, I was on Facebook looking through groups in Fort Smith, Greenwood, Booneville, and other places. There was a post from a lady who said they had been all over town looking for her dad’s false teeth.
I just couldn’t help but wonder how he lost them. She was asking the public to be on the lookout for his teeth. I mean, Fort Smith is a large city. Looking for false teeth in a city that size would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I know another couple who went to the lake a few weeks back. They were out in the boat, and she lost her teeth in the lake. I just couldn’t ask how it happened. I mean, I didn’t realize there was a lost false teeth epidemic going on!
What I’m trying to say is keep a close eye on your teeth when you’re out and about — and leave them in your mouth. I have laughed and laughed over this.
Since there is an overabundance of yellow squash this time of year, I thought I’d share a baked squash recipe with ya’ll.
Baked Squash
Ingredients
2 medium yellow squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Wash and slice the yellow squash into ¼-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Place the seasoned slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top of each slice.
Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
Ya’ll have a great week. Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
