Mia got a hug from fairy godmother at the Disneyland parade.
My son is a good cook, and this week he made a delicious shrimp dish with orange sauce.
We had another snowfall! It was sunny for a few days, then rain, then snow. My poor car was covered, and I just got a new starter. Right away, I went outside and scraped the snow off my engine haha.
I kept hearing thumps on the roof. I thought it was a critter - it was snow!
There's nothing better to put in our oatmeal than blueberries and bananas, except for maybe pecans, which I was out of. But this was nice too.
Tacos are a fav in our family, and I made some this week with ground beef, seasonings, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and topped them with ranch dressing. Have you ever had orange bell peppers? I've had green, red, yellow, but never orange. The tacos were excellent.
I love seeing the carousel music box on my dresser when I pass by that Francesca gave me.
And the dear music box that Mia gave me. They seem to go well with my Spring decor.
I talked with my sister on the phone for a long time. It's always good to catch up with her. We're so different, yet so alike in many ways.
Here are some recent pics of the kids. In the last few years, I have been blessed with three granddaughters, Francesca, Mia, and Charlotte. They grow up so fast, and I can't wait to see them real soon. This is a message I want to send them, and I hope they always remember it.
Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts,
The impossibles,
The won'ts.
Listen to the never haves,
Then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.

What a beautiful post!! I love the oatmeal with yogurt and blueberries, the shrimp with orange sauce looks great and so do the tacos. Music boxes are beautiful. The children are very cute! The poem has deep meanings!
Beautiful granddaughters! I know that poem! ❤️
I like any color bell peppers! 🫑 They have good amount of Vitamin C especially the red!
I am so ready for consistent warm weather.
My son likes to cook as well. Before he became a Dietitian he had always worked in restaurants.
Enjoyed this weeks post. Have a beautiful week.
A beautiful post and I love the photo of the three girls together. Of course all of the photos ar lovely. Can't believe you had snow again!! Hope spring is around the corner for you. Shel Silverstein is a favorite.
Dearest Sheri,
What a snow load!
Lovely food and you're lucky that your son is a good cook!
Berries are my daily food as dessert, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.
Yes, I'm having half a bell pepper, orange, red or yellow every morning with my breakfast. Green bell peppers are by far not comparable in taste to the others!
Hugs,
Mariette
Lovely grands!!!
Oh Sheri, I just love your posts. And when the world is waging war all around us, your blog is love, calm and beauty. Thank You!
Carla
These are touching lines, beautiful.
The photo with your three granddaughters is wonderful.
Wish you a happy new week
Your grandchildren are beyond gorgeous! I have only tasted green peppers. But I have read that all the colors are from the same plant, just in different stages of ripeness. Would you agree? Your music boxes are beautiful!
A really sweet post Sheri, always love seeing your darling grandchildren. And the food looks so yummy, especially the shrimp dish your son made. All super photos and I do enjoy the poem. I am very happy you enjoy Shel Silverstein as much as I do. Have a great week my friend!
I see the little one is checking out the taste! Oh, babies. Make me feel warm inside.
Your girls are growing up before our very eyes! I love each and every photo (well, maybe not the snow so much -- aren't you ready to say "Enough!")
I love shrimp -- that looks wonderful. And I'm big on berries and bananas in my morning yogurt. I just love peppers-- all kinds! Any color is good for me.
Happy week!
Oh those girls are precious. Shel really knows what he's talking about.
Snow.. oh no.. I don't think I could handle anymore snow.
Adding the orange sounds tasty! Love me some blueberries! We might get more snow. Or just more rain. Today was nice though. Happy New Week! Cheers, lvy.
Beautiful post Sheri!
We had the peppers at school. The kids loved them. Have a great week.
You must have known I needed a good cry this morning.
YUM, those toes are so good! lol....cute pics of the girls. I can't believe you are still getting snow. We are just barely below 80 already. I was out the other day and it was mid 70s, a warm mid 70s. I just can't handle that real heat. How do you like having snow so many times. I used to really love snow, not sure when that changed. I do love seeing it fall, but if I am closed up for to many days, I get to wishing for warm melt! lol.....oh my gosh, the food looks so good.
This is a most cherished post, Sheri. So, so, so adorable. Oh my GOODNESS. Those three little princesses just tug at my heart. You are blessed. Loved every bit of this post. Thanks for sharing. Hugs. Susan
This is a great post, starting with your adorable little ones. They are so cute! then...oh my goodness, I love orange chicken and this looks even better with the shrimp. Then, there is the taco dish....YUM! And how about the blueberry dish. makes my mouth water. I'm guessing you are about ready for the snow to go away? Lovely post and I enjoy learning about all the happenings around your place.
That shrimp dish looks delicious! While the snow is beautiful, I bet you hope it is the last of the season!
Your still getting snow friend...at least I hope it isn't lasting. Your son's orange shrimp looks excellent and I do like orange peppers. Do you think the colored peppers taste sweeter than the green? I know I do. Your granddaughters are so precious and I love the quote by Shel Silverstein. Wonderful post as always. Yes to your question the cherries are good...they are sweet and not the sour type. I like to dry them and have them on oats and other cereals. Take care and have a blessed week. Hugs!
You are still getting snow - that is amazing. We are in the 80's with full sun.
That Fairy grandma was sure a pretty lady - wasn't she.
Would love the orange sauce recipe for scrimp! Looed so good as well as your tacos - I find the orange peppers sweeter - I love the,
Do you collect music boxes?
Gee you are so lucky to have 3 beautiful granddaughters. I wish I did!
Your little Charlotte found her toes.
Bet you were glad you got the new starter.
Wonderful Grands! Such happiness! God bless you all.
What a lovely post, Sheri!
Your blog always feels warm and welcoming.
Your granddaughters are adorable.
The shrimp dish your son made looks delish 😋
Shel Silverstein's poem is so inspiring.
Have a wonderful week with your family! 🌹
Those little ones are growing up so fast! I know you love getting lots of photos. That's what I'm going to request for Mother's day...more recent photos!
It never snows here in Brisbane so I liked seeing your snow photos! And of course your granddaughters are beautiful, it's great they got to go to Disney! :)
Shel Silverstein says the best things.
Loved seeing your grand daughters. So Sweet!
Wow! snow still, hope spring come soon to your part of the world.
I just recently realized ranch dressing is good on tacos and Mexican food. Yumm!
Awww...your grans are beautiful and the message is beautiful and so true.
The blueberries and bananas look yummy!
hugs
Donna
Dearest Sheri,
Mia, Charlotte and Francesca are beautiful! You are blessed with these wonderful granddaughters!
Everything you prepared to eat looks very delicious! Shrimp with orange sauce is a gourmet experience, I guess!
Hugs, Betty!
