Don't you just want to be one of those people? I do!!

Hope this is the start of a wonderful week for all of you, my bloggy friends!

Later today I will post some pics of the beautiful Blue Spring, and the hundreds of Manatees that were there!

My Favorite Breakfast!

The other day Lois at Walking on Sunshine had me drooling over her quiche. So I just had to make my favorite breakfast in hopes of making her drool! (not really! I just wanted it real bad!!)
They used to make it at this local diner. I don't have an exact recipe. Maybe one potato and 2 eggs per person??!! Sounds good to me!!

This is what you NEED! Eggs, left over baked potatoes, or freshly microwaved potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, and a little butter.




Slice 1/2" pieces across the potato, and 1/4 them. Melt 2 T butter in pan, and add potatoes

Cook turning them, until they are yummilicious golden brown.

Remove from skillet to plate and sprinkle a small amount of cheese over them.

Scramble eggs and cook to your liking. I prefer them with a very slight gloss. Put them on top of the potatoes, and sprinkle remainder of cheese. I top them with real bacon bits and chopped scallions if I have them, and a dash of black pepper. Mmm Mmm good! (and it was)

I 'll catch up with ya'll on Sunday! We're going out of town for a couple of days. My first hunt with my hubby!! (I'll probably hunt with my camera! ;o)

Have a good one!!

Blessings,

Becky

FOR ALL THE DEVOTED MOMS OUT THERE!!

It's show and tell Friday over at Kelli's!! Hope you'll check it out and all the neat things others are showing as well!

Today I'm sharing with you a very special pillow.

When I was 23, we had our first child. The year was 1981. My Mom came up to North Carolina and stayed with me for 2 weeks. I had delivered Samantha via emergency c-section.(the section I was sure I didn't have to read in my pregnancy book!!)

As my journey into motherhood continued, I began to realize just how wonderful a mother I had been blessed with. I came across this counted-cross stitch pattern and cried in the store after reading it. I knew I had to make it for my Mom.
Her favorite colors were blue and white, so I found this fabric, and was so delighted to make her my first double ruffle pillow! I was very tickled with how it came out...and so was she! She cried when I gave it to her, and absolutely loved it. She always had it displayed in a place of prominence in her home, and that was such a blessing to me.

You know, I never even gave it a thought back then that one day she wouldn't be with me any longer, (sigh...) and that my gift would have a place in my home !

So now it is "my" special treasure and is my little love note to all of you loving, caring, devoted Moms out there. Know that your commitment to shaping the lives you have been entrusted with is of the utmost importance to this world we live in and to God.

If you still have your Mom with you, hug her once for you, and once for me, OK?
