Breakfast for Dinner - 141/365

Today it was time to mower shop! I couldn't take that mower one more minute. We went to Do-Cut and got a new zero turn. It's called the Time cutter, so I hope that's true! It should come in a couple days.

 Nana, Reagan and I headed out to do a little shopping. Nana wanted a mister for her hummingbirds and I wanted to pick up a griddle. Reagan is loving pancakes, so I figured a griddle would help make them. I'm awful at a skillet. I can't get the temp right.

As we were driving around I happened to look over and see an old Chevy Blazer with a padlock for a lock. It was hysterical and very inventive.

This evening, we played on the driveway with Reagan's new chalk rake. She loved it. She was just running all around dragging it behind her. Too funny!

Tonight, since I had the new griddle, I decided to make breakfast for dinner. I made Reagan an "R" pancake. She was pretty impressed. We had scrambled eggs and fruit on the side. It was scrumptious. I'm so thrilled with my new griddle.

Bailey Back to the Vet & YSU - 8/365

Today, Bailey was actually doing a bit worse. The more we watched him and made him walk around, it seemed as though his back hips were hurting him. We felt so bad for him, that we decided to run him over to the emergency vet. Turns out, they weren't open, so we begged to get back into Dr. Allen.
The same Dr. was in and gave him yet another once over. He felt his bones and stuff and didn't think he had a fracture. He thought maybe he had a soft tissue bruise, so he gave him a shot of cortisone to see if that would alleviate some pain. He also suggested he get started on glucosamine treats.
We dropped Bailey off at home to let his shot kick in. Nana, Reagan and I then went to run some errands. First we stopped at Bob Evans to have some lunch. Reagan just loves their shape pancakes. This month it is a snowman! SUPER CUTE! She was pumped! She gobbled up almost the whole thing!
This evening, Jim was heading to the YSU men's basketball game with his dad. They played Wright State. They ended up losing the game 70-61. They said they had a really fun time and were glad they went.  The roads were a little tricky coming home, but they made it.
Reagan and I spent some time doing Beados and watching Bailey.
The shot was a MIRACLE! He was back to his old self this evening. He's always in the same room as us hanging out and he and Brandy play wrestle a lot, too! He was back to walking all around and torturing her. We're so happy he's doing better! He was so pitiful! Even though he's 15, he still acts like a kitten most days. We hope he sticks around awhile! We love our little buddy!

Pancake Breakfast - 81/365

Today was Boardman Rotary's Annual Pancake Breakfast! 

Jim, of course, was out there working, but he got a lot of visitors! 

Nana, Papa, Raymond, Jennifer and I went out at 9:00 to enjoy some breakfast! They really are great pancakes, huge and fluffy! We got a kick out of the syrup squeeze bottle. It was HUGE! We had a nice time! 

Later this morning, Jim got some more visitors. Nikki, Greg, Mabel, Adrienne, Jake and the kids went out to enjoy some pancakes, too! Jim loved having everyone come out and support the rotary! 

Rotary does so many wonderful things for the community. They were really busy for the first day. He was happy. 

 The rest of the day, we just hung around the house and I made some homemade pizzas, which were OK. LOL!

Flipping Flapjacks - 76/365

Today Jim was up bright and early to work at the Boardman Rotary Pancake Festival. The Boardman Rotary is a service club that Jim has been involved in for the past 5 years. They have a number of fundraisers each year and then use the money they raise to benefit the community as well as international projects. The Pancake Festival is one of their biggest fundraisers of the year. 

This year Jim was asked to work in the kitchen, which doesn't happen right away, so Jim was very happy to be asked. Being that he was asked to cook and it was his first time, I wanted to capture this memory. Reagan, Nana and I surprised him with a visit. I knew if I told him I wanted to take a picture, he would say, "Oh no, that's ok." so I had to sneak attack him....LOL! 

I found him flipping pancakes at one of the four griddles they use. While he's always been excellent at cooking pancakes at home, this was the first time he's ever had to cook anything for a large group of people. He says the day seemed to be a success because he didn't burn himself and no one complained about his cooking! He'll be out working the festival next weekend as well. Stop out and see him if you have a chance!
