A Weekend at Home

As I've mentioned already, this weekend I went to Nocona for my Meme's second 80th Birthday party.  A few of us family members took her out on her actual 80th Birthday, but on Saturday, we had a party with the rest of her kids present as well as friends.  Here are some pics (while viewing, please keep in mind that the church hall that was our venue, was less than pretty)...



Papa and Meme
My Amy, My Uncles' Wives, Nancy & Gina, Mom and Me (left to right)
I made Mom and Dad pose for a pic because they were both coordinating in purple...

Dad said it was twerp week.  Did y'all have twerp week back in High School or was that just a Nocona thing?  If you didn't, one day in twerp week was dress alike day.
This was pre-party at the house... Dad & Milly watching T.V.
After the party, it was pool time!
My cousins, Maddie and Gracie were staying with my other grandma and they came over to swim.


These girls crack me up because they are such fancy city girls.  I was ordering their dinner from Dairy Queen and they wanted chocolate shakes.  Gracie said, "get it with extra whipped cream!".  I had to say, "Oh honey, it's Dairy Queen, they don't do whipped cream on milk shakes."  "Oh," she said, with a puzzled look on her face.

We lucked out and the cake was actually yummy! We don't have a choice of good bakeries around Nocona.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
