You "Ladies of a Certain Age" might find this FUNNY...


After 2 days of baking pies and breads,
I ran out of flour.


I came across this recipe
and really wanted to add them to our already GENEROUS amount of 
THANKSGIVING DESSERTS... 

PECAN PIE BARS....
OOO HONEY !

Don't they look absolutely
luscious...

I had all the ingredients except enuf flour.

As Mr. Sweet was going into town (we live a few miles out...)
I asked if he would kindly stop at DOLLAR GENERAL and pick up
a small bag of FLOUR...

NOW, Mr. Sweet has just started wearing hearing aids but,
because of a lot of sanding in his work shop, he has left
them off the last few days because of the dust.


 This sweet man's main goal in life is
TO PLEASE.....  

When he got home from his errands,
he went straight to the kitchen and I thought he put the FLOUR on the counter.   

He then came into the bedroom and handed me.....


Bless his olden heart...
he thought I said FLOWERS !!!



At this time I didn't put it all together....

I'm SLOW...

I thought,
"he's brought me flowers...
PINK
SUMMERTIME
PLASTIC
flowers...."

Not wanting to hurt his feelings,
I put them in with the vase of my OTHER plastic flowers...

(actually, I was thinking "what the Heck" )


A little later, I went into the kitchen to start my Pecan Pie Bars...


and 
NO FLOUR...

Only then did I realize what had happened.

We have laughed about it all day....

Funny things like this happen all the time as we age...
We have to LAUGH to keep from CRYING....



OK...that's all for today...
I am on my way to the store for flower FLOUR.
I'm determined to bake those PECAN PIE BARS...
O...
and Mr. Sweet just handed me the sales receipt and said to 
"go get my money back..."  LOL 

Yep...he thought it was a VERY STRANGE request when he thought I said flowers...
especially from Dollar General....lol  lol  lol


XOXO bj

  1. Bwuahahahaha, hey not even sure if it is due to "a certain age!" Things like that happen to us all, it seems.

    Thanks for the lift and laugh, bj. (Those pecan bars look amazing!)

    I made raspberry crumble bars last night to die for.

    thinking they're not going to last long.....

    1. Sometimes that doesn't work. Example: My list - 1. bread 2. milk 3. ice
      Now, seems simple enough but imagine my surprise when DH came home with 1 loaf bread, 2 gallons milk and 3 bags of ice. I asked why the three bags of ice, and he said, "Well you had a 2 in front of milk and a 3 in front of ice." Makes perfect sense, right? This is a true story!

  13. Hello bj, Thanks for the good laugh. My Bill would so do this. Sometimes he shocks me with what he thought I said to bring home. Now, I write everything down for him. You gotta love em! At least they are willing to go to the store for us. We too live 11 miles to the nearest grocery store.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and yes...make those delicious pecan bars. Yum. We are baking three pies for only 7 people. One day I hope we can all be together for Thanksgiving again. Seven is a very small crowd for our big family.

    Much love,
    Jeanne

  21. Your Sweetie had the best intentions to make you happy. For once, he did not think of food, but doing something nice for you.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh that's a fun story. You'll get more laughs from that one! =D Are you going to get your money back or save your beautiful plastic flowers?

    (John has already gone to bed...worn out from getting a haircut today, I think. He saw money I had set aside and wondered what that was for...a pie from the Library Sale. "How could I forget THAT?!" I wondered the same thing. He dearly loves the pie sale.) Yes, I am making pies, but no mincemeat!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  27. That's so funny! What a sweet thing to do. He could have brought you just about anything else but you did say 'flow-er'! Have you stopped by my blog to ready about our adventures with our new trailer? It's worth a laugh or two, dear friend. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving - what a day to count our blessings!

  30. You guys are a funny couple. Flour/flowers.

  31. Ha ha..BJ, I am laughing at your story, at the same time I am also laughing at hubby and I. We have our own funny stories too but like you said, sometimes it is better to laugh than cry. I guess we all have to go through our aging.

    ReplyDelete
  32. AWWWW. So SWEET in every sense of the word. We just had a long, repetitive hug with Grand #4 as they headed for home, because every time we'd do "GROUP HUG" with her, her Ganner's hearing aid would go off and sing in her ear. She thought that immensely fun, and hugged him about six times for the "music."

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your own Lovies!!

  34. This is too funny. I can totally see this happening to us except that Bill swears that he hears just fine! I'm a new follower and fellow Christmas in Texas Blog Hop participant. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and those pecan pie bars look amazing.

  35. Hubby and I also have this occasional lapse in understanding due to his hearing limitations. He needs to make and appointment to get them checked again. Have a really special Thanksgiving Day.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Haha. Yeah, I totally get that and see how it happened. So funny...except that now you have to make another trip to get the Flour. :-) I'm waiting for Mr. C. to bring home the Southern Comfort so I can brine my turkey. I wonder how he might misconstrue that. LOL

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
