Well, here it is Friday again

There will be no 4th of July celebration for us since everything will be very crowded and noisy in the campgrounds. Traffic will be awful so we will just stay home as we usually do on holiday weekends.

Lily is off and on my lap waiting for her Mama to come home from the chiropractor. Every time she hears a noise she jumps down to investigate.

I went to Wal Mart for a few things and then the grocery store. Man! Food is getting soooo expensive. I had Wal Mart load the big bag of dog food but even so my back is hurting from carrying in groceries although Joy carried the heavy stuff.
Splurged and got myself two new men's T shirts. Much more comfortable than getting the girly ones that all have tight, scimpy sleeves. They're a lot cheaper, too.

I got some Red Snapper to cook for our dinner tonight. Wish Joy could eat tomatoes. I would make Snapper Vera Cruz. Oh well, I'll come up with something.
Still have to decide what to have with it. Cole slaw and petite peas?

Thursday, trash day

I took the trash out to the road last evening and turned back to see a fox trotting across the driveway. It was a small grey fox. Not shy at all. It stopped in the field and watched me while I watched it.

Yesterday we went to Applebee's for lunch. Had the Apple Smoked Chicken. The chicken breast was very dryand can't say about the leg/thigh because we brought it home with us.
The Spinach salad with cranberries and feta cheese with a sweet mustard dressing was delicious and the garlic fries were good till we got to the bottom of the dish. There was a puddle of garlic butter in the bottom. Not very appetizing.

I placed one more block in the patio and cleaned up the loose trash but had to quit because my back is starting to hurt. Maybe I should check to see about Rolfing. I've tried everything else Maybe I can use the blower after a while if it doesn't get too hot.

Weary Wednesday

Nice cool morning, turning to very warm afternoon.I swept up most of the crud on the back patio and unloaded the top of the potting bench. When Joy wakes I'll use the blower to get more dirt and leaves gone. Need to wash off the top of the BBQ also. Just dusty.

We went up to Doc's Barbecue and had Burgers last night. They were really good with hand shaped patties and house made fries. Got thoroughly stuffed and still didn't eat all the fries.

When we got home Joy made Blondies with walnuts for dessert. I think I may not have chewed the nuts well enough. Feel a diverticular problem coming on so I took Metamucil.

Woke way too early for some reason.

Deer!

I went to water my two tomato plants this morning and found that deer had got into the garden area and eaten the tops and all the buds off them. Grrrr! Hmmm? Venison is good.

I fixed frozen ravioli and Lite Alfredo sauce for dinner along with a salad of leaf lettuce, plum tomatoes, olives, pickled beets, garbonzos, cucumbers, and Gorgonzola cheese. Salad was the best part because the ravioli had been in the freezer a little too long.
Not sure what I'll make tonight yet. Maybe Lala kabobs. I have some lamb that I could grind. I love lamb. My favorite meat. I just wish it weren't so expensive.
I know it seems unpatriotic but I prefer Australian or New Zealand lamb. I think it's more tender and has better flavor.

Watching the news about the fire near Lake Tahoe. We spend the whole summer watching for fires. My sister and her husband lost their place six years ago.

Still haven't weighed this week.

Where Oh Where Do my Posts Go?

Trying once again

Monday, Monday

Checking to see if I can post.

Monday, Monday

Not expecting anything exciting today. Sam dog just climbed over tha gate and took off but he does that at least once a day. I just saw him out in the side yard but he didn't come when I called. Guess he needs to run some more. He doesn't stay long. Good thing we live in the country.

I made Kielbasa with cabbage and potatoes, seasoned with caraway seed. Not what I really wanted but it's something daughter Joy can eat. Fixed fresh green beans with it.

I had a bit too much wine last night but it's the first I've had in some time. Tasted really good, too. Doesn't help with the weight loss, though.
