Hi everyone! Well, the stagers came to the house yesterday and turned my shell of a place into somewhere that looks like someone lives here! Here are some photos! So I'm inviting a couple of friends over today to see the place. This selling thing is definitely getting real. I'm OK with it but I could tell that ex was getting kind of emotional about it yesterday ... it's going to be hard for him ... I already received my Hello Fresh meal kit box this morning and I started up my gourmet salad delivery again so that I have something nice to take to work for lunch ... I hate making salads but I love eating them I ordered a salad that has fresh peaches in it! Should be yummy! Some people (my mum) don't like fruit in their salads ... what about you? I invited my young "friend" over for dinner tonight ... I'm going to make pan seared trout and corn on the cob. What are your plans today? What Is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

I haven't found a place but will start seriously looking later this week which is super exciting! I don't think it has set in for the girls yet ... they haven't lived here for two years ... once I am actually moving out there will be tears.

Hey leannec! I'm sure your house will sell quickly. I think it's something buyers will be interested in. Pan seared trout sounds delicious. If Jeremy isn't home for dinner tonight and let's all keep our fingers crossed that he isn't rained out of his race today, I will probably make jerk shrimp with a lime cilantro black bean rice. That just sounds so good to me. I found some glow in the dark yarn at Joann's yesterday. I admit I had seen a post about it in one of my crochet groups and made a beeline over there to buy it. There was not a single skein missing from the display. The girl said it had just been put out. Haha...I got an inside tip. I bought 8 of them. I thought they would make some fun spooky pillows for Halloween. I plan to work on those for a while today. I really want to finish up my blanket but it's been so hot my air conditioning just can't keep up. And the last thing I want is to sit under a heavy blanket to crochet. Anyway that's the plan! I hope all of you have the best day!

Swim lessons are back after a 2 year hiatus and start today. Kids are super excited.
Ds starts 10th grade back on site this week. Nervous and anxious but excited and happy. No one was wearing a mask when we visited. If numbers get bad, we will homeschool again. Too big of a risk for dd.
Dd starts year 2 of college in 2 weeks. Full load thus semester! Next she is looking to volunteer.
I pick up my brace this week for my fully torn (and gone) ACL. Surgery is postponed for now due to my care if the kids. I also see generics this month finally. EDS testing. That will also determine if surgery can be a go.
I also have other issues with my pcl and mcl of the same knee.
Still have formula issues. Now legal team is on it. Sigh.
Just wanted to update. I have missed many of you and may pop in on the weekends to catch up.

I like strawberries in my salads depending on the kind and craisins if those count. I'm not sure I've had others.
I think we are making chicken fries rice tonight for dinner.
Plans? Cleaning the house and getting some paperwork in order. I have court for the divorce on Wednesday and my lawyer just figured out that I was right all along and she was not, so i may end up getting screwed. At least it will be over.

Hopefully she can salvage things and still get you the best deal ... I thank my lucky stars that I didn't have a situation like yours! Positive thoughts coming your way!

karenlou gave me fresh garden tomatoes when I picked her up yesterday so we’re having BLTs tonight! We saw Where the Crawdads Sing and both loved it. We had both read the book and thought it followed really well.

I am having company for dinner tonight and I have Japanese chicken marinating at the moment.
Today is a better day than yesterday. Holy cow.
I really want to go for a good walk today.
Dexter the Whoodle is doing great and he is 3 months old now. His teeth are very sharp. He loves me a lot.

Not much happening here today. We went to church, then after lunch I went for a walk. DH is cooking dinner, so I have been knitting to finish up a cardigan for Lucia before I head over there in 10 days! Dinner tonight is grilled marinated chicken breasts and homemade pasta salad. leannec - your house looks great, and I am sure it will sell quickly. Good luck finding something new that you like.

I have missed all of you this past week. I plan on going back and reading the dinner threads to see what you have all been up to. The wedding we went to last Monday was beautiful and fun. The rest of the week we spent with my parents. Did a little hiking and spent a lot of time out on the lake on the boat. Got home last night after a long drive. What should have been a 9 hour trip turned into a 12 hour drive. We sat at a standstill on the interstate for 2 1/2 hours then once we got moving it took us an hour to go 13 miles. Your house looks fabulous leannec! Keeping my fingers crossed that it is a quick sale. I’m hoping everything goes your way this week freecharlie. I’ve been grocery shopping this morning and have laundry going. My grandson wants me to help him make a couple of thank you cards. That will keep me busy enough the rest of the day. Dinner is spaghetti as requested by one of the grandsons.

Your home looks lovely, leannec . freecharlie , sending positive vibes your way. I'm hoping to have AF chicken thighs for dinner, need to go to the grocery store and see if they have any. I actually like them but most people don't:

Good Afternoon Dinner Tribe...I am grilling chicken thighs (that I have seasoned with DH's Jamaican Jerk rub) corn and salads with my garden tomatoes..(picking @ 3 a day now!!!) and my neighbors cucumber from her garden, we do veggie exchanges!!! Nice to have good neighbors!!! I love fruit any time any where..Bring it on!!
I have spent about 2 hour out in the back, in the process of scraping and sanding the back bannisters to get them primed and repainted..It is freaking hot and humid out there....done for now.
I am working 11-7 tonight's am about to go up and nap in the AC comfort on our bedroom!
leannec Your house looks amazing!!! I'm sure it will sell quickly.

Happy Sunday! I’m home from church and dh and I are about to head off to the town’s fair! It’s our town and the neighboring town holding a fair that is apparently the biggest “town” fair in the state. I’ve never heard of another town fair so that might not be a hard feat. Lol The other (big) fairs are all county fairs. Anyway, I am so looking forward to eating junky fair food, seeing adorable animals, and oohing and ahhing over prize winning vegetables and pies, and crafts, etc. it’s a gorgeous day, too! Count me down for no fruit on my salad, please. Load me with the veggies but fruit just seems weird to me. ETA: cadoodlebug your meme!!! 😂😂😂 truthbomb right there. I am not a fan of triskets (or wheat thins but I think we had that thread-wide brawl back a few months). 🤢

I made chili rice last night (because it was that or toast for dinner). Still eating it for “brunch” today. Meanwhile I put a pot roast in the Ninja pot for my sister’s family. BIL had brain surgery on Friday (not his first rodeo, but apparently it was successful this time). Also need to make mashed potatoes for my niece who is staying over there this week to help. She thinks I make the best mashed potatoes in the world. Who can resist that kind of flattery? So anyway, I may keep some pot roast for myself, or keep eating chili rice. Either way, I can die happy. leannec, the house looks great and I’m sure it will sell quickly. You’d better start looking in earnest. pantsonfire, glad to see you posting again. freecharlie, good luck on Wednesday. I hope things go better than we are all worrying it will go.

I spent quite a while in a parking lot waiting for AAA to come jump my battery. It's been a weird weekend. Yesterday, a group of young teens were bike riding on our block and one of them wasn't paying attention and face planted into ds's parked car's hood. He is OK, except for a cut on his face and a fat lip. I went into mom mode and a very nice stranger stopped his car and helped us, as well as our mail lady. I was up at 3am thinking about it. We have very clear video and it is scary to watch. He looked much worse than he was once cleaned up. His mom came to get him and last night she emailed me that he was fine. The car, however is going to need a new hood and bumper. Both kid and bike hit the car. Thank goodness that he is OK, didn't hit his head or break any bones. It was a bad scene. I might be just a tad shaken up. Dinner is tacos w/our fresh orange tomatoes. leannec , your house looks great. May it sell easily and may you find a condo that feels like home. freecharlie I'm going to vote for your lawyer to be wrong, because the judge favors you. May this go well, afterall.

Also I went for my decent walk! Go me! That is how Toby was when we first got him. Now? He loves his people ❤ we hope to have at least 1 more year with him. His cancer hasn't spread (his type us very slow progressing) but one of his neck lymhnodes is quite larger. So we may do some steroids soon to reduce it then back off.

Wow! scrapmaven that would have scared the pants off me. I actually hit a girl with my car when I was 20. She was just a teenager. She stepped right off the curb in front of me. It was a 20mph zone and I don't even think I was going that fast. But she got a few bruises. And I was terrified to drive my car for a few weeks.

We are in Asheville and dinner is at Juicy Lucy's, thanks to a recommendation from Patter. Everything looks delish, especially after a long drive. Tonight, it's Much Ado About Nothing in the park. Woot!

jeremysgirl, that's so scary. Thank goodness that both of you were alright. Ds was in the house and my neighbor called me and told me to get outside, because a kid on a bike hit ds's parked car. You must have been traumatized by that incident.
