Pork chops were glazed just right tonight, chicken breast for he who won’t eat fresh pork. Enjoying the couple of new pans I picked up before xmas, one ceramic (rice side right out of it) & another hard anodized (big one held 8 chops & a breast easily).
Haha so true. At least two of the grocery stores here also accept phone in requests, just more limited in number.
LOL
He’s almost there, thankfully. Younger one looked a bit pale and lost some pounds. He’s pin thin as it is, made sure to send him on his way with bags of food.
Same. Tend to get a bit car sick if in the back seat, sometimes with those who aren’t ‘smooth drivers’.
Advancements galore since then, she’s in good hands
Oh yeah, can’t say it’s ever been on our radar. Did want to see Egyptian pyramids. Time will tell there. Youngest DS’s bud has family there, neither he or his mother have been back for years. Just too much unrest, long before the pandem
That is an
epic goblet. Forget two hands, i’d Be using a straw lol
Like the sound of the pans keisha.....always love a new set.
I`m the same in the back seat.....always get a little woozy if I don`t face forward. Always marvelled how Kyle could sit from being small and read a book the whole journey......
Think we mentioned before, after seeing Death on the Nile as a child, always fancied doing one of those Nile boats.....but now, not a chance. I think it`s on the Government no go list too, at least part of it if not all of Egypt. Shame as some of those ancient monuments would have been lovely to see. Yes, hope the young man can visit his homeland one day.
I did use a straw the first time I used it......big mistake.....huge mistake.....lol.....it was white wine and it is true what they say about drinking alcohol through a straw!! It`s not so heavy.......well, ok it is actually.....you do have to be so careful...especially with red wine.
Cleaning saturday-oh yeah but always glad when it is done. Love sliding into clean sheets. DH out with the guys from our street at a golf place-like a Big Shots Golf. He set up the security cameras we got for Christmas. He even put one in the coop! Ellie is the blac/white one and can barely see Bella and annie down in far left corner. Not sure where other two are-maybe by feeder out of camera range. Have two waters plugged in as I put a nipple one in and trying to teach the girls to drink from it-better for my fluffy feathery cheeked one-to keep her head dry. She's at high risk for frostbite on her comb. And yes-I can talk to them too LOL! And hear them.

It was starting to snow and wind chill is bone chilling so we shut them in early. They weren't thrilled about it.
Charade we got new luggage a couple years ago-hard sided spinners including 2 that fit carry on sizes. We got them for cruises (less chance for critters to hitch a ride). Unless I change my dates I think I will miss you this fall.
Pretty cool-think we are far more connected than we know.
Am always ready for the weekend lol
Sounds so fun and glad you had a great time!!
Oh poor lil guy. Sounds like he needs a summer visit with grandma...
Glad she is still doing well!!
Not everyone is on the "usual" timetable. Some have their timetable and it works well for them-sounds like she is doing really well now!
Wonder if that is why i quit buying the eggs several years ago? I swear they weren't as good as they used to be so stopped buying them at easter. Yeah bad chocolate is so not worth calories or money!!
ergocalciferol. good bio available form.
Yes it is!! but there are some poor misguided souls who disagree
Agree January is a bit of crapshoot! Was cool when I was there at beginning of January. Two years ago it got hot!
Well technically she is an employee I guess, not just a student. Wonder if that makes a difference? The hospital they sent her to from clinic is technically not in network-but pandemic and emergency...
Yeah told DH he did NOT want surgery. So we will see. He does feel better with exercise if not too strenuous. He's been trying to drop some pounds so this is a good motivator. Per doctor notes I've lost 10# from last year. Past 6-7 months really haven't drank much at all and of course-not going out much, and with active summer - think it all helps. Made a cosmo tonight but split it up and diluted with a sparkly flavored water to get 2 drinks out of one mix-woo tolerance is gone!
Woohoo! glad he's better and good for home cooking!
Had pork chops tonight with stuffing, brown sugar carrots. Didn't realize was out of poultry seasoning-usually stock up at Thansgiving but we were in Florida...DH ran to store for me, said it was packed, spice aisle ransacked. Snagged theonly bottle of poultry seasoning there. Had him get the good bread for french toast-obviously have the eggs! Gave adozen to neighbor, still have 3 dozen around...
Did I mention we have an extra kid with us? Another of Paige's friend with stressful home situation. She is a delight! Everytime I think we can downsize I end up being glad we have all the room. Not that there is anything smaller around in inventory right now anyway-wow is market tight.
Dog is dreaming on his bed-legs are running. Fireplace on. May be time for tea and my book!
What a lovely thing to do again Monyk.....yes, she`ll be so appreciative of your help, so many kids don`t have that help available to them.
We are so lucky to have the farm next to us where we get all our eggs....they are so much better than anything you can buy in a store. Having an abundance is a luxury indeed.
Glad DH is feeling better......hope it continues.
Ooh another tea drinker, MonyK. Yeah, sometimes I think will be nice with just DH and I, but growing up with a large family, I like a busy house. How generous you are always willing to be helping others. And hehe, my neighbor has cameras in his chicken coop. They were out there the other day, shoveling the snow off the run the lone chicken has. They always took good care of them, and I am wondering when this last one passes away, will they get new chicks? Maybe? They have a very fancy set up for chickens.
Lush sounding dinner, Keisha.
Hope the wine was good tasting Schumi. And hope the movie was good too.
And so, cute Disney movie, and now just relaxing to see what else to watch. Getting tired, so I tend to be the first one to bed. Both kids like to sleep late and stay up late. Me, that saying: early to bed, early to rise..... Well that early bird part is definitely me. Wise and wealthy, neither. Though happily, generally healthy, so there’s that too.
Later homies. Last of the tea and time to get that bedtime routine started.
Yep, wine and movie were excellent. I did like that wine and Tom reminded me we had enjoyed it previously.....I forget what wines we`ve had and not had.
MonyK, you are so kind hearted to take kids in and provide for them and give them love
Wish there were more good people like you.
There are very few people that open the door to kids that have no where to turn to
You’ll make a big difference in that girls life by opening your home to her
She has a very good chance of learning what a normal
life is all about by what you teach her
It is lovely when people are prepared to go the extra mile for others. We used to live close to a family who spent their whole married lives fostering usually troubled kids. Made such a difference to so many. And as you said, sometimes it was the first "normal" many had seen.
Eh, no matter how I try, conditioned to be an early bird.
Good morning Julie. I hope you are doing well, and enjoyed a stroll with Louie this morning.
We have some light snow falling, as I look out the window. Very very dark out this early hour. Sunrise not for almost 2 more hours. But the snow will be falling most of the hours today. Sigh. Even a bigger sigh. The temps have already fallen from an hour ago. The high of the day was in the wee hours. A snowy day with temps below freezing, as thermometer says 30F out now. Down 4 degrees from when I first looked
But a quiet house right now is a pleasant one. I enjoy these early morning weekends where I can make tea and relax, and get the wash finished early so a later morning routine gets freshly washed towels for the long hot shower I am looking forward to later this morning. Ah why I was so ready for the weekend. A few days to be a change in routine.
And ooh, looking at the calendar, and a super yay. A love filled weekend ends with a holiday Monday. Sniff, the last holiday until the almost end of May. And so, highly thinking of making this a truly bonus weekend and making it 4 day one. Two 4 day weeks? Check.
Time for more tea. Have that blanket tucked all around me. Yep, a Sunday is here. Even with the snow, it is get the trash out day, as hoping will be a Monday pickup. Then alarm already set, as all get ready for that week day routine kinda day too.
Aww, heard a loud coos from a dove outside my window. Probably complaining it’s cold and snowing this early morning. LoL
May your Sunday be serene and finding some parts of it in at least in a happy mood. And have a Good Sunday Morning.
Homies
Me too Lynne....once an early bird always an early bird. I spent many years doing early shift continuously when working, left the house just after 5.15am and I loved it.....you never lose that internal alarm. Kyle is exactly the same, gets up around 6am even when he`s off or weekends.
And Robo. You popped in as I was typing......good to see you and hope you enjoy the SuperBowl this weekend.......
Have a lovely trip with your sister, and yes would love to see your pictures of MG this year. It`ll be different for sure, but at least they can do something this year.
And thank you for the good wishes, the family member I mentioned to you is still struggling after having Covid, she`s still not back to work and may try one day a week soon. But, the after effects are ongoing, it`s been several months now since she had it. Certainly not something she`ll get over quickly.
Have a lovely time
Although I did think we`d have a long lie in this morning. But, got a call from the farmer close to us, his fence had come down with the high winds and no one can come out till this afternoon. Their son lives in London and two men who work for them are both shielding. So we flopped over and did what we could, we are not DIY folks!! But, his chickens are contained for now at least. We kept our distance, both of them have been vaccinated, but you can never be too careful.
But, it is freezing. We had high winds and rain all night and today is barely 30F and a real feel of 19F and almost sleety more than snow. It`s too wet to lay for any length of time. But may get worse as the week goes on. When we got back in, I went straight in the shower to warm up. Not been as cold as this for a long time.
We have a few things pencilled in this week, first one is check on the farmers that the guy arrived this afternoon.
Black and white movie afternoon today too.....and joint of beef is dinner tonight, and will pop that in later. Going to copy Lynne`s idea and have a hot chocolate mid afternoon.
And yes mac....bacon was delicious........
Wind seems to be getting up and sleet is getting heavier too......nice few days to be indoors.
and it is a good movie.
morning
