If you are familiar with Kansas and Oklahoma you will know Braum's. This is a photo of an actual banana split you could get there. When Nick was attending college in Salina, Kansas we made a stop at Braum's. This cost less then four dollars last time we visited in 2017. Their story is fascinating and I like to visit local businesses whenever we get a chance to travel. Today is National Banana Split Day so you may indulge if you choose.
Sometime we order dinner from Cheddar's. They make an amazing salmon and the hubby loves their chicken fried steak. When you order a side salad you get a delicious made fresh croissant. They bake these daily. But I like to have mine with a cup of hot tea, no matter the temp outside is reading nearly 100!
Gave the twin son-in-law a jar of this goodness for his birthday. You don't think he likes it or anything do you? I found this company on line and their combinations were mouth watering. Going to try the peach salsa next.
A dab of this on a club cracker with a smidgen of cream cheese is so good.
Since I took off on the food road...here is Nick's ice cream cake from the Dairy Queen. It is the only cake he loves.
Hannah said Franklin a/k/a Frankie Fresh was helping her print letters. Jake cleaned out the garage so she could set up the scroll saw and cut wood into letters. This girl is so talented. She loves painting and behind Franklin is something Hannah has been working on.
I belong to a hometown page at social media. I think guys relate to this more than gals. But some guys shared their own stories and I was crying from laughter. One guy said his dad was having a particularly bad day. He said he threw a screwdriver and barely missed him along with a long list of curse words! His brother, unaware if what was happening, walked over and nearly was knocked down by another tool and curse words flying. This reminded me of the Christmas movie, A Christmas Story. Poor Ralphie, his dad was changing the balding flat tire while Ralphie held the hubcap filled with the lug nuts! Raphie let out a profanity, or the Queen Mother of dirty words as he called it. He did not enjoy that bar of Life Buoy soap his mom stuck between his teeth. Why this all reminded me of that movie, But these words are as true as these:
HaHaHa! I am not easily scared, as I was taught by some of the nuns who were direct descendants of Satan himself! I recently had a conversation with my oldest brother. He said, sister, God made you and me and Ed backward. Both of my brothers are left handed like me. We were a tough bunch. Those nuns could not crack us! HaHaHa! My sweet mom did everything left handed except write. My momma could bowl! Oh Goodness, she was a terrific bowler and threw that ball with her left hand! Ha Sister Mary HE Double Hockey Sticks!
