Morning all, it’s pushing 60 degrees here
but going to drop by afternoon. Did my dog-mom duty this am out finding ‘mines’ in the back yard. Let’s just say having two this weekend upped the ante
Yesterday busy, had to head up to God’s country to pick up a pair of work boots for the mr where the company issues vouchers. Turned it into ‘an outing’ googled and found a Texas Roadhouse, few in my area. Nom. Notice the bread basket already nearly empty after devouring the salads.
Keishashadow great tutorial on coffee! I’ve wondered what the dif is between latte and cappuccino!
Only reason i remember is DS had to pass a test to be promoted to manager there lol. One thing i will say for SB is they are big on cleanliness, they break down those machines like clockwork to clean them.
Quickest drive by........
Almost an hour and a half till dinner.......I’m starving.........
Sweet potatoes are on our menu tonight........wedges......to go with spicy pulled pork that has been simmering all day.......spicy sauce all made up.......glad you’re having a decent day Lynne..........

Got friend popping round for a glass of wine, just for an hour till her husband picks her up.......I love my friends!!! And love an open house.......
One is good, five is better!
So you had a polite conversation with the ATM when it ate your card?
I haven't had that happen yet, but what a pain! Now where do you get some $$???
Ugh!
I LOVE Instacart
! Shopping while having my lunch! Will pick up my groceries on my way home today!
I think it's Fish fry Friday!!
Conversation? Yes, that’s what it was lol
So, sweet potatoes and pulled pork were delicious.....and friend decided to stop for dinner too......then her husband came up and declared himself famished...….thankfully I had cooked for an army...…..all went down well......think she had one or two wines, and as he doesn't drink she had his as well!!!!
She`s the friend who has the Rocky Horror Picture Show Party every year.....we miss it as we are usually in Orlando...….but pictures look an absolute riot!!!! Pure fun...…..

Enjoying a glass of wine..…new bottle as friend demolished the other...…..

RHPS party? How cool is that?
Quiet night at home! Joe stopped to get us a fish fry on his way home from work. This is ONE dinner!

The other will be lunch tomorrow!!
Not big on fried seafood but that looks delish! Lent right around the corner, love the charity fish fries, some of the side dishes are quite inventive.
Um, no fish for me. Thanks anyway, Patty. Ended up with home made cheesesteaks. Older one did not like the cheese. Oh well. Some left over if DH is hungry when he gets home.
Went shopping with little one. Lots of traffic out. Once sun went down, much cooler. 20’s overnight. Hehe, she calls my car an idiot magnet. Yeah, over the line, no signals, braking for no apparent reason, seen on the phone, and seen drinking. Yeah, she’s an angry driver that has had all of those drivers in front of her. I have to giggle every time she asks if that is an idiot. That description is usually then followed by, figures, plate from the state next to us. Apparently, we also had dumb, dumber and dumbest in front of us as we inched up a hill. Lead foot is also hereditary, apparently too.
Now relaxing. Bought rolls of black licorice. The Wegman’s grocery store is the only place I can find them. I remember them from the penny candy store I used to go to when I was little. It was a big deal to have a nickel to spend in there. I was a fan of those black licorice pipes too, but have not seen them in years.
Cool feeling, so tea almost ready. Older one bought a Marvel throw on the ship, it is so soft. He ‘s hot, me, throw around me.
So happy it is a Friday night, and not a Sunday one. I fully expect to sleep in. We will see. I may be awake early, but will be slow to get up.
GD leaving Phillie this am. She did get a medal on floor yea! Did the high points of the city, including touching the replica Liberty Bell etc. asked what was her favorite thing of the trip, she replied
cheesecake
I hate waking up from a dead sleep
when one of the cats jump on me while in bed
I came to the living room and lay down on the couch and they jumped on me again
They must think I’m something to sleep on
Lol
Or a play toy lol
Good (very late) morning!
Its a nice day here- which means I should get out and enjoy it- but not feeling very motivated at the moment. Saturday is clean sheets for the bed- I wash the ones on the bed and put them right back on- avoids the poor folding attempt.
Dinner will be at my Mom's tonight. Rumor has it we are having meatloaf.
Patty- that fish looks so good!
Wishing everyone a great day.....
Sooo, in your world is that considered a good thing?
.
Most i know won’t touch it but I like my version sliced down cold on sammies
Good morning ....at work now so I'm just gonna share this bit of spring from the garden center
View attachment 384403 View attachment 384404 by the way....I noticed that my peach trees were blooming this morning...
Have a wonderful day everyone
What a treat to see that this am! Everything is dull and grey here still but I did notice the tips of something pushing thru in my front garden. Maybe crocus?
Thanks! It was very nice. Both daughters and youngest ones boyfriend. Had husbands fav pork roast. I went to the Asian bakery to get fruit cake. It’s a light sponge layer cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit on top. Lovely. We enjoyed his Port birthday present after dinner! He doesn’t like a big deal, just a low key birthday so that’s what it was.
Glad dental billing was sorted out! Dreary drizzly day here too. Correction, just looked out, drizzle just turned to snow!
Our cat used to like to sleep across daughters chest! The dogs sleep in our room! In the morning the cat would start batting her cheek to get up and feed him!
I never liked the black liquorice. Seems you either like it or not!
My mom made that cocktail sauce! Minus the cayenne. Baron of beef roast for us tonight. I love pizza. We finally got a decent pizza place in town that makes NY style pizza. Love it.
Tink, lovely flowers! The crocus were just coming up and cherry blossoms started coming out, then winter decided to happen!
Found out the Florida AAA sells Universal APs, with modest discount. Maybe save $12ish dollars, better than nothing. I’ll take what savings I can get. Canadian dollar isn’t that great right now. We loose around 30% so any discount is good. So I’ll probably wait till we get to Ft. Lauderdale and stop into a AAA, there’s one near my moms. May look and see if there’s one near our hotel.
Have a good Saturday everyone.
I did a double take when you said your DH’s fav was fruit cake (yuck) before you described it.
When my kids were ore teens. I switched to a gas Weber
Only reason I gave up the charcoal grill was it took too long to heat the charcoal to make hot dogs for lunch
Every day for lunch that summer
they were in a mood to eat only hot dogs
Quick and easy to make dogs on a gas grill
Oh, those poor doggies.
I still have small charcoal grill stuffed in shed sitting next to my smoker gathering dust JIK i get motivated but the time involved to get the charcoal right is way over my tolerance level.
Nope - Mr on midnight shift, sleeping in, I may start without him soon
