There's one not too far from our house so we go their frequently. My boys take full advantage of the free ice cream cones!<br /> <br />Their French Onion is harder to eat than most. The bowl they serve it in makes it impossible to "cut" on the side of the bowl, plus like you, I never have a knife when I'm there since they just bring a spoon to the table.<br /> <br />What a joy you were sitting with the one who loves you most! That always makes everything sweeter, doesn't it!     Maralee McKeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222146252834742839.post-59772717094076681922009-04-25T16:04:00.000-04:002009-04-25T16:04:00.000-04:00Hello Beth!<br />Your sweet note made my day! Thank you so  much for the sleepover advice. The boys had the best time, until 11:20 PM. Then Corbett's little friend started to cry.<br /> <br />Fortunately, at the last minute the boy's parents cancelled their trip out of state, so they were just several miles away at home. We called and my husband ended up taking him home. Actually, he met the boy's father in the parking lot of a 7-11 midway between our two homes.<br /> <br />This morning, when I found out they met at the 7-11, I said to Kent, my husband, "Don't you imagine it looks really odd on the stores security camera. Two men trading off a little boy at midnight in the parking lot!" Next time we'll bring him all the way to his house!<br /> <br />This morning the little boy came back over at 10:00 AM, so we had a late breakfast together and the two boys are now outside climbing up the slide backwards and laughing! All is well!<br /> <br />Thank you also for your prayers for me and our family! I'm honored, happy and humbled by your kindness!<br /> <br />Blessings,<br />Maralee   <br /> <br />     Maralee McKeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222146252834742839.post-51461842173325940972009-04-24T17:29:00.000-04:002009-04-24T17:29:00.000-04:00Dear Bill,<br /> <br />I like your style! No actually, slipping Tylenol PM into chocolate milk isn't the best solution. However, a little in some juice never hurt anyone! (Grins and winks. You know I'm just kidding!  ;)  <br /> <br />Glad your found the tip about spooning soup away from you helpful! I actually have an easy and delicious receipe for French Onion soup.

It was quite a sight I'm sure what with the cheese and all. Not having a knife, I was using my fork to assist with cutting extra cheese off my spoon. I'm sure I would have been quite embarrassed if I weren't eating with the one who loves me the most in the world who was struggling with his own cup of the stuff. Delicious!Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715691662295803576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222146252834742839.post-14119881207910791452009-04-24T06:55:00.000-04:002009-04-24T06:55:00.000-04:00Thanks Maralee for the tips! And yes, now, I am craving French Onion soup and that yummy baked on the side cheese!<br /><br />Regarding the sleepover... I have a neighbor who still has a hard time making it through the night and it&#39;s been 3 years (she was 6 the first time) - the one thing that has never failed me is doing a campout in the living room (we have a pull out couch or they put sleeping bags on the floor) and we watch movies/tv until they fall asleep - and I stay on the couch until she&#39;s asleep. If she wakes up I just go back out on the couch until the morning. Sometimes it takes me turning disney channel or a movie back on for her to fall back to sleep. <br /><br />I will be praying for God to show favor on you &amp; your family tonight! Sounds like Corbett and his friend will have a great time! Thank you for allowing us to walk alongside you as you travel through life&#39;s journeys!Beth &amp; Rick Drummondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08462501398711942345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222146252834742839.post-87039097312738737882009-04-24T05:54:00.000-04:002009-04-24T05:54:00.000-04:00As for the sleepover..Is slipping Tylenol PM in the chocolate milk of visiting children considered a Faux Pas? <br /><br />As for the soup, the suggestion of spooning it away from you just made a light come on over my head. How many shirts could have survived a dinner if I had given it a thought? Thank you.<br />(and now I want French Onion soup!)BillGenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08251805862057327119noreply@blogger.com
