Soup and a Sandwich?


You are very welcome here at Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we ask you 4 questions each week in hopes of encouraging blogging and learning more about other bloggers through their answers.

Once again  if you have ideas for topics leave them in comments here or on my blog.  

Campbells has their beautiful factory  in Camden, New Jersey.  


1. What is your favorite sandwich? What kind of bread, roll.. toasted or not? Butter: salted or sweet?
Turkey, Avocado, Provolone cheese on Sourdough Bread, mayo and mustard with lettuce and tomato too.

2. Do you have a favorite soup? Do you make homemade soup often? What kind?  Tomato or Tomato Basil and Mushroom Soup

 What's your favorite store bought soup? I like homemade soup but will buy Campbell's tomato or tomato basil soup. 

3. What kind of cheese should be on a grilled cheese sandwich and should it be served with tomato soup or some other flavor ? American, Cheddar, Provolone, take your pick/

4. Is it a Hoagie, a Sub, a Zeppelin, a Grinder, or a Hero or maybe a Dagwood?   What's on it? Oil.. vinegar, onions, peppers, mayo? We make subs at our house, lots of roast beef, turkey and ham with cheddar cheese, American cheese, Mozzarella slices or Provolone or Pepper Jack  Cheese. We usually buy some sub rolls at the bakery. Mayo & mustard for me with pickles, sliced tomatoes and lettuce. We do oil on Italian subs.

Thanks for dropping by!

HAPPY TUESDAY

I am all over the place today! So is this blog post and my other blog 

 


HAPPY TUESDAY

My blog posts are wild & crazy today. Sort of like me and the weather here. At least the weather is trying to warm up.

Having just been on a plane trip, I can relate to Maxine!  She makes me happy and I do Sandee loves her too so this is for Sandee and everyone who loves Maxine.

Nick and Colton are heading to Chicago for a quick trip tomorrow. I think they just went out to lunch as Colton was picking up Harrison from school.  Nick was going to a late lunch with them today. But Nick had plans to visit his friend Isaac  from his college days and Colton decided to join him. They are staying for two nights and plan to eat all the Chicago favorites. I am praying for safe travels. But at least here, the weather is good.

Noelle returned from a quick trip to visit our new grandson in Western NY. He turns 3 months old today. Hannah and Jake are private so no photos but picture Brody & Blake and some of the silly faces you have seen on them. Yeah, they are all related !



Found at Pinterest from an etsy artist, love this sweet lamb wishing us an early Happy Easter.

FRIENDLY FILL IN'S

Friendly Fill In's Lorianne is hosting last Friday's Friendly Fill In answers. Ellen is taking a blogging break as her sweet feline girl Joanie has gone tot he Rainbow Bridge. My thoughts & prayers are with her. Those losses are so hard.  Ellen did input the first two questions and Lorianne the second two. 

1. I refuse to spend more than ______________for ______________.

2. I am not ashamed to admit____________________.

3. I've been obsessed with ______________lately.

4. When someone tells me _____________, I ________________.

My answers:

1. I refuse to spend more than $100 on groceries each week. It is getting very difficult not to go over.

2. I am not ashamed to admit I love pink and collect everything I can find, in pink! 

3. I've been obsessed with reading lately.

4. When someone tells me a secret, I keep it to myself.  I am a talkative person by nature, but I am also honest and trustworthy.

Feline Friday


These two look like my boy, although he has amber colored eyes. 

In a perfect feline world, this would be his phamily. It would be a world where these fur babies would not have to go to the Rainbow Bridge and would leave forever as long as the world went on with us, it is a happy thought I have when there is loss in this ole world.



I will end this very late post with this

Thankful Thursday

 Thankful Thursday

I know I have been missing here. We are all well. We had a wonderful trip to Western New York to see our new grandson. I can't post his phots as Hannah & Jake are very private. But boy oh boy, is he a cutie pie. They live on a nice property so the quietness and the nature all around was so peaceful and relaxing. It was a quick trip and we were thankful to be able to travel there. They will come visit this summer and of course our new little grandson will be bigger and probably crawling around. He is a joyful child nd he has two of the best parents.

Our flight was uneventful except for a passenger two rows in front of us on the other side, had a seizure and his wife stood up screaming for help. A lady who was a doctor quickly came to their aid as well as two nurses on board.  The lady Darlene sitting next to me was a retired nurse. I think attendants should have some knowledge to be able to get help although I imagine if they were medical personnel they might not be working at the airlines. Avery & I prayed are were grateful he was doing ok once he got some juice and food.  Very thankful for those folks who helped. at one point someone was yelling get the pilot but I don't think he could have been much help!

The weather was cool and rainy but we had planned to stay at the house with the kids so we really enjoyed our selves. Noelle is heading there tomorrow. I wish I could stow away with her. Thankful we can all get together.



Our two grandsons here we able to spend time with us last weekend. Brody always picks grandpa as his team mate and Blake and I play basketball. Oh my goodness, we slept well that night and rested into the rest of our weekend. Busy boys. They start their baseball season next month. How did they grow so quickly? Time moves swiftly. I LOVE sports and especially baseball. My dad would be so proud of them. Blake is my little numbers guy as he already does division and knows multiplication. We are thankful he may be able to get into a Math class as he is way ahead of everyone in pre k and he loves his numbers! Brody may need his tonsils removed so prayers are always welcome.  Those boys and their big sister Addy are such a joy.


The boys were at baseball practice. Brody wanted a baseball bag for his birthday so we bought him one.  Blake's birthday is in the summertime so his mom and dad bought his.


THANKFUL!


Some days there are grumpy kitties and other times, who knows! This boy is happy to be at my side but he sure does not like me to share my attention elsewhere. He was mad I turned on the radio! Yeah, we are old school. Leo was the only sweetheart who would let me song to him. I was never sure if he liked my singing or he felt bad that I was simply looney. hahaha I sure miss that handsome boy. 

THANKFUL

I have been thinking about Mister Kitty who turns 11 this April 30 2024. He has gone through a long list of possible names! We originally thought he was a girl, oh well that was wrong! We called her Tiger Lily, him Tiger, then he became Mister Kitty as he believes he is the "Mister" of this domain where he lives or rather rules! These are a few of my favorite photos of him.

Here he is in a all his cuteness back in 2013. He came to us on June 21,2013. He was 52 days old! Oh don't let that cuteness or these big green eyes make you say "awwwww"! He is a troublemaker, a rascal, a dickens and I often have to say "What in the Sam Hill do you think you are doing"? 


When I took this beautiful photo of him, I realized he was truly photogenic. If only he would mind just once in a while.


Roxanne came to us in December 2010 just around Christmas. Hannah's former beau Markus found her shivering in an open field. Had he not scooped her up and shared her with all of us, she would have been, well, I shudder to think, in a wide open area! She passed away from what appeared to be cancer similar to Ovarian cancer. She was a delightful little petite pup and charmed each one of us. She charmed her way into this kittens heart and he never left her but always protected her. She passed away Novemver 3, 2013 and that boy sat and howled as she was taken out of the house. He is, if nothing else, a true friend. 

I need to check in on him, sleeping on the love seat on this cold and snowy February day. He is, if nothing else, greatly loved, protected by us and kept healthy, well fed and entertained.

HAPPY TUESDAY AND MAXINE CRACKS ME UP

 Happy Tuesday


My JOYFUL SERVING will continue all year long, God willing. Harrison, Brody and Shea were up to something. It was Easter Brunch Day. Those little sweethearts/ A second grader, a soon to be first grader and a pre schooler in 2024. Oh My! I am crying happy tears. That numbers guy, B2 a/k/a/ Blake was no where to be found. Probably crunching numbers with his headphones on to block all the noisiness out. Brody trying to play Rebekah;s guitar. It was as tall as he was a ew years ago. Nowi is such a grown up version of himself. Oh my heart....Then my oldest girl Noelle. It has been a long hard journey for her since losing her other half Roger in 2022. Sometime a girl needs her momma or perhaps the momma needs her girl.


As I sort through so many photos! Tarrah , I know you won't believe me, she is momma to five little kids. Well...technically I suppose it is not true any longer. Jayden who is 12 passed me up a long while ago, he is so tall! Michael is also sprouting up like a tall corn stalk! When did those two grow up?  Sweet Mollie peeking as she tries to catch a nap. She is "Nicky's girl". She waits for him to come & go from work. Follows him around like a little shadow. Shea with Mommy Jacey. Harrison, that boy will get you and capture your heart every time with that smile, that perfect hair and that twinkling wink in those baby blues. I am very H A P P Y and overjoyed!


My mom always said God was good to me. Giving me a good husband and healthy children. Life is not easy but it sure has lots of sweet perks!

Since Beverly stopped doing the Pink Saturday blog hop I have felt sad but I save all the pinks I can still find. How about Maxine and her "friends with benefits"???? That girl, yeah, that night driving is hard when you get older. 

A few prayer requests, pray for Bobby. He is a friend of Rebekah's going through a rough time. Prayer for Alisha and family during the loss of her dad. Prayers for Alex, also dealing with some hard stuff. Riley & Alaina too, sweet girls who need prayer., thank you
