I'm wearing red today
To show everyone
That I support my daddy
And ALL the troops!

Oh, Amy! My mother used to make those (she called them ‘mock chicken legs’) and she would cook them on a wooden skewer! Yummy! Thank you for the recipe!
And, be sure to use PANKO breading - it is the BEST!

Hi Polly, Good to hear from you on this Red Friday! Congratulations on the upcoming graduation and party. My two granddaughter just graduated from college. One was on one Saturday and the other the very next Saturday. Different colleges and we partied too! Have fun and take a lot of pictures!
Those kids are so precious! Love it, you all!
Yorkie, that is a darling picture of the little girl in the red shoes...just precious!
Now, there you go again, making our mouth’s water! Yum-O!
Oh my goodness, another good looking recipe. I couldn’t get all these things made if I wanted to. Sure would like to try them though! You and Yorkie make me so hungry. How can I diet?
Thank you, JC! (I kinda liked it too!)
JC, I just love that picture. There’s something about red on a black and white picture that makes it stand out!

I think thats why I loved your little girl so good! I had that graphic for a long time and didn’t know what occasion to use it for and I thought Red Friday!
Guess I will go out and plant now. Its still dreary and damp but I must do it anyway. I can plant in pots inside the carport and have them ready!
I’ve been playing instead of answering pings. I Bad!!
Thank you two for all of your wonderful posts and helping to keep Amy’s Place alive.
(((( Jaycee ))))
(((( Yorkie ))))
Big hugs.
Great story you shared, OESY. Thank You!
On a related note, we don’t have a large military presence here (just recruiting stations) but whenever I see someone in uniform, you can bet they receive a handshake and “Thank You” from this old Navy vet. Happened again the other day at a Memorial Day program.
Salute
My Mother's Garden
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem...
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough—
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong—
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me
