Another Mayberry Moment

So glad y'all stopped by.  I woke up this morning to more bad news

Another case of Ebola in Dallas

War in the middle east is intensifying and Baghdad is threatened

I need a Mayberry moment!!!  So sit down for a bit and let's pretend 

that the world is a kinder, friendlier and happier place where problems 

can be solved by a slice of Aunt Bea's pie and Andy's wisdom.

Click here to get you in a laid back mood.

Here is my recipe for too much bad news.

The first thing we need is some comfort food.  So

today I am going to make a tuna noodle casserole.

Now you might be thinking that's not very gourmet.

Well you are right!  But my prescription for a bad news

day is plain old comfort.  While David is on the golf

course playing in a tournament, I am going to make

my tuna casserole.  

I'll be in here, chopping onions and celery.  I'll be grabbing a can
of cream of chicken soup.  Yes, just good old canned soup.  I
would use cream of mushroom, but David doesn't like mushrooms.
I'll cook some egg noodles, mix them with the tuna, soup and
I'll put some buttered crumbs on top.  I'll get this all ready early
today so that all I have to do is pop it in the oven.

Maybe I should make biscuits to serve with butter and honey
and some roasted carrots too.  Roasted carrots sound good
because they can cook in the oven too.  Total comfort.

After the casserole is complete, I will be in my comfiest sweats 

playing couch potato for a while.  I'll make some tea.  Want to 

join me?  We can spend the whole afternoon watching some

favorite old movies.  

This movie always makes me laugh.  Send Me No Flowers

with Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall.  Silly 

and completely fun.  

Or since hubby is away on the golf course, a favorite

chic flick …

Sleepless in Seattle.  I have all the dialogue memorized :-)

Do you???

If we get tired of watching old movies, we could hang out in my

studio for a while.  Bentley will be hanging out there too.  

He will be curled up in his favorite chair in that room, as he is now.

There is always some sewing to do.

Or you could help me finish my dollhouse so that I can move all this

furniture in and we could decorate.

Or we could bake cookies ~ yummy idea!

Or go for a walk in my neighborhood.  Bentley would like that, but

I will warn you, it's still hot here.

Although, now that I think of it, a long walk might be just what we need

after all that tuna casserole and biscuits and honey ;-)

Even though the world is full of bad news, let's make up our

minds to have a Mayberry moment and make it a 

Good day for a good day!

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
