Family - Bread

In my heart, family comes first over blogging. I took several days away from Blogger for several reasons. Bulldog Man was injured while shopping at one of the major chain hardware stores (I won’t mention the name of the specific store).  He removed a large hitch wrench from the display to purchase and while looking at the wrench the entire display of wrenches toppled down hitting my husband in the temple and forehead, causing my husband to get dizzy, and see stars.  I must say one of the employees of the store was there immediately helping, unlike the manager.  Then our son, Tank had surgery on the palm of his hand, requiring a steel plate, screws, pins and wires to put him back together (kind of sounds like the scarecrow on The Wizard of Oz).  The last several days have been hectic, dealing with doctors, hospitals and stress.  I would like to thank all of my blogger friends for the support, well wishes and prayers.   

On a lighter note, I’ve found a recipe for banana bread that is so good, it will make you want to jump up and slap your Mama J  Bahahahahahaha!!!!! 



Sorry about blurry picture.
