How we love it when she comes over to spend the night.
She spent the night with us and we three had an early morning walk at the park.
I said, "Deeds, can you walk a mile ?"
She said, "Memaw, I can RUN a mile."
"OoOOO"
"OoOOO"
When we finished our glorious walk, we were hungry....
STARVED....
We called the mama and the sister and asked if they would meet us at
CRACKER BARREL for breakfast.
"YES" was the answer
so we sit on the porch of the restaurant and played a game of
GIANT CHECKERS
while waiting for the other two ladies.
(in case you noticed the 'hair in the eyes" in my photos...the wind was blowin' ....
I generally don't have it hanging below my eyebrows... :))

A little sleepy yet but
as soon as they served our breakfast,
everyone perked up.
We had almost completely finished eating before I thought about taking photos of the food.
We ALL should have had that YOGURT PARFAIT....it looked delish....
but, we caved and went for those fabulous BUTTERMILK PANCAKES...
*shhhhh, don't let the DIET PATROL know we slid off the ole NO SUGAR thing.
and....
OH....
it was all sooo good...especially so with our sweet girls there with us.
P.S. Mr. Sweet and I came back home and had an hour nap.
THAT'S OUR JOB....
Don't forget the giveaway of the RAMSIGN HOUSE NUMBERS SIGN...
Ends on the 25th........WINNER announced on the 26th.

i remember being 10. i liked being 10.
she's a cutie, that one.
Ten is such a great age! I love Cracker Barrel, especially for breakfast. xo
Cracker Barrel! Yay. Love that place. Just took John there last weekend and we had a Southern meal that you would've been proud to know we'd ordered. It was pulled bbq pork on a fritter (pancake) with fries, cornbread (not sweet like I like it) and iced tea. It was really good. We'll go back some day. Plus it's just fun to poke around in the store or sit and play checkers. It gives me hope that Deeds, at ten, still enjoys hanging out with her grandparents. She's a real cutie!
I love the photo of them walking, accompanied by their shadows. :)
Looks like you had a great morning! Glad you treated yourselves to breakfast:@)
Such a nice way to spend a morning - and what a treat to have a grandchild to spend the night!
Forget the foodie police - with your wonderful granddaughter and you at the Cracker Barrel for a great breakfast and time together. I won't tell - the time was very special no doubt...good food and even greater company!
that breakfast looks so yummy.
I wonder if we ever hit an age when we can say , oh to heck with it LOL..
glad you could spend time with all your lovies..
xo

That's great.
Sleepy heads out for parfaits and pancakes, sounds like a perfect Saturday morning to me! Happy rest of your weekend BJ.

Hi BJ: Looks like you had a perfectly "sweet" day with all your girls. We spent weekend with grandson, Jake, and he bought his first car!! Growing up too fast..Happy Saturday..Judy
Now THAT'S a perfect weekend!! Grandchild or several having a sleepover, and Cracker Barrel for breakfast!
And after staying up late and that kind of breakfast, You have to have a nap---it's the LAW.

A good walk and a good meal, sounds like you had a great day! Great shadow shot too. I love Cracker Barrel, they have the best biscuits.
Happy Sunday!
Looks like some great times with the grandkids BJ! and...yes, there is nothing like a yummy meal at the Cracker Barrel....yum!!! (and we can't wait for naps to be our job as well ~ lol!!)
Oh what a sweet time with the grands! Yummy breakfast. You deserved a break! Have a blessed day, hugs.
Cracker Barrel has wonderful meals. Looks like you, Mr Sweet and the granddaughter had a wonderful time. Have a blessed day. Madeline
Oh that Deeds is getting big! It's kind of like we have watched her growing up, in your blog. :-)))))
She always looks so sweet and happy and willing to have her picture taken, too. :-)

You have a beautiful granddaughter there. Just beautiful! I'm glad you had an opportunity to spend some time with you. And you didn't mention who won that checker's game. What happened? Did she beat you?
10 grandkids! I love that you spend one on one time with them...that is priceless. Thanks for stopping by my blog...looking forward to following-I can already tell it will be a blessing!

I promise not to tell the Diet Patrol. How fun for you and your husband to have breakfast with your sweet girls.
Cracker Barrel always has lots of other pretties to see, too.
Oh what great photos! I hope to live close enough to my grand to enjoy times like these! Hugs, Linda
What a lovely way to spend a morning. I love that you have your granddaughter spend the night with you - such good memories she will have as she gets older. Is there nothing better than breakfast at Cracker Barrel? I love their "eggs in a basket" and get them ever time. Glad I stopped by. Ann
Deeds is just lovely! I so fondly remember staying with my grandma and grandpa. What special relationships we share with our grandparents. I am glad that you are sharing those precious moments together. Now about that breakfast ~ who doesn't love Cracker Barrel??!!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Deeds is a darling. I love your NAP job. Sometimes I have the every same job too.
Great photos")

Darling grandsies! You are the best grandma, taking them out to Cracker Barrel, yum! Have a wonderful weekend BJ!
xo, Andrea
You are such a wonderful grandma. The kind I want to be. Involved and there for my kids and grandkids. Sounds like a perfect morning to me. We love going out to breakfast. Hubby and I do that more than going out for dinner. I really want you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time to join the party. Have a wonderful week.
Deeds may be the youngest, but she makes great shadows!

BJ,
What a precious post! Love that you and "Mr.Sweet" spent time with the grands...that's what Summer's all about...spending time at Grandma & Grandpa's!!! You can begin the diet again...right after your nap!
Fondly,
Pat
Hi BJ!! Thank you so much for leaving a sweet comment on our blog!! I look forward to catching up on all of your previous posts!
Have a fantastic day:)
Gosh. Ten years old ... what an adventure she has in her future! I can't remember back that far, but I do love Cracker Barrel!!!!
She really has grown up just in the time I have "known" you! Look at those legs...she is becoming a young woman and she is too darn cute! Cracker Barrel is our "I don't want to cook" go to place. It is just a hop skip from our house...too easy!
What a sweet time with her, how lucky you are! Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #36!
Looks like everyone had a wonderful time! Family is the best! We are so glad that you linked up to our "Strut Your Stuff Saturday". Please come back again really soon! Thanks! -The Sisters
I love the photos, looks like a great time. Cracker Barrel has great food and great atmosphere. Happy, Happy pancakes.
This is such a sweet post BJ! My parents are looking forward to having their 4 grandsons over for a sleepover this week (there's a football final happening!) so I know my mum would really relate to this!
Thanks so much for sharing this post at my Say G'day linky party! This week's linky is now live and I am very excited to invite you to a Social media linky party that I will be hosting on July 14. The details are all at the blog if you would like to join in.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend,
Natasha in Oz
I loved staying at my grandparents during the summers. I miss them now.
