Fried Bologna Sandwich


Every week I have to figure it out, what's for dinner? One day folds into a week, then a month, then summer is gone, fall is here, winter is upon us and springtime arrives. I try to mix it up, we've been having a lot of THIS lately. When we get tired of THAT then we try a little SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I really never know what I'm in the mood for until I wake up and say THIS SOUNDS GOOD!

Are you like that too? There's just some things that sound good in the SUMMER when it's too hot to cook. By the time Fall rolls around I'm thinking of FAMILY FAVORITES. Winter is for COMFORT FOODS, stick to my ribs meals. When I can't face another bowl of stew, then SPRING finally arrives with lighter MEALSWhen life seems flavorless, look for something you haven't had in awhile. All of a sudden it tastes good again, but it's not the food. It's you that changes!

I'd love to have you join us on Facebook's Granny Mountain Group... it's a great way to pass along recipes, tips and ideas that we're all finding at Pinterest or even better... potlucks and family recipe boxes!

The Silly Billy Gene



This picture was taken years ago after Christmas dinner at Mom's. Whoever took it thought it would be funny to get our "best sides" in a group picture. That's me, my mother-in-law and Mom. We are a silly bunch and I thought I would try to put a smile on your face by sharing some of the one's that we have taken through the years.


Here we go...



Mom~Christmas 1982

The women in the family love to get something sparkly to wear!



Stephanie~11 and Amy~3 Christmas 1981

It's in their blood to ham it up!



This is the Chief Ham, His Hamness, Grandpa!



Me~Christmas 1993

"Ohhh, this is too much!"




This is Hubby's Popeye Face, he does this one in a lot of pictures!




We are also an excitable bunch, much enthusiaum no matter what the present may be!






Hubby~Christmas 2000 in Texas

He wanted to brag to everyone that he went swimming on Christmas!





Amy~Christmas 1985

Great picture to show to her son when he's older!





Hubby or Napoleon?




This is where Hubby gets Popeye Face...from his Dad!




Hubby with his "purty face!"




Even our cat "Smudgy" was a clown!




Ok, I had to get permission from our daughter Stephanie to share this one! In defense, she WAS on cold medicine and she was doing her best to keep Jackson amused during all of the present opening on Christmas morning 1994.





This may be my favorite...the players are seated left to right, my Mom, my Mother in Law and my Father in Law. The gift is from us...a bread machine. Dad T.'s saying, "Maybe now I'll finally get some hot bread!" Look at Mom T.'s face...then look at my Mom's!

Hey, it was funny!




Ewan~Christmas 2007

The Silly Billy gene is alive and well in the future generation!



In loving memory of my father-in-law who taught us all he had to know about silliness! We miss you Dad!
