I loved the meme so much I had to post it on my Facebook wall. I definitely enjoy my old lady lifestyle. 🤣
It's supposed to rain today all day. It's very cool outside. I opened all my windows. I intend to sit and crochet, read a book, and just enjoy the rain.
Tonight we are meeting my mom and Chloe for dinner at a restaurant downtown. It is an upscale slider bar.

YAY!!!! I’m happy you have an offer already and hope it works out for you!
Dinner tonight is going to be simple…ground beef tacos.
I’m doing some laundry, cleaning off my craft desk and scrapbooking today. I’ve enjoyed having a week off with very little to do.

leannec - yay for an offer. That was quick! I guess you need to hurry up and find something new for yourself now. Love the meme too. I am embracing the grandma vibe - puzzles and knitting are great ways to spend your day, though I haven't yet started sitting in the shower! Today was a normal Saturday - big grocery shop, especially as Monday is a public holiday here, so we need food through til Tuesday. We decided to go over to the big mall nearest us, as we also needed to get coffee pods, and there is a Nespresso store at the mall. We also went to a butcher that is a bit far for daily shopping, but seeing we were out in the car, decided to try out. They had some nice meats, but I am not convinced they were so much better than the in-store butcher at our regular grocery. Dinner tonight is bratwurst from the new butcher. We will have potatoes of some sort - on the grill or potato salad - with them.

we are having leftovers from thai takeout last night.
I was going to work on basement, but I will be zooming and scrapbooking with my friends.
my mother in law was moved into a care home last month. she is adjusting and this week she found out they have a happy hour.. and she is excited about that!! I'm going to go see her in a few weeks.
a few years back, when dh's father died, my mil, I and my daughter were sorting cd's and stuff, and she ripped up any pictures she saw of her husband. I was worried she would throw about family pictures, so that night, I took out of the closet several big ziplocks of family slides. digitized them but never really told anyone about doing this. I sorted those slides last night ..and posted a few of them on the family chat. turns out my husband and his sister were so happy I did that!! there were some family pictures, but a lot of pictures of their mountain climbing trips. when I go up in a few weeks, I am going to "liberate" the rest of the family pictures.

That’s great leannec. I will keep my fingers crossed that they accept your counter. The two youngest grandsons had their first soccer game this morning. This age group(4-6) is so fun. I need to do some cleaning and fix something to take to my class reunion tonight. Quite a few people are coming back from out of state so I am really looking forward to it. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Good morning, all (yes, it’s still morning here, and I slept in, so it really feels like morning). My stepsister is in town to see her dad and help my mom clear some of his stuff out of the house. She is literally my oldest friend, because our parents were all good friends back in law school, and were pregnant with us together. We were born a week apart. (Don’t ask about the parents. My mom is stepdad’s third wife, and we believe he’d been chasing after her all their adult lives, which my mom won’t confirm, but she giggles when we bring it up.) Anyway, we are headed to my friend’s Mexican restaurant for dinner.

lucyg That is a great, funny story. No wonder I like you so much! I have updated dinner. I am making a homemade peach pie and I can finally eat corn on the cob. So that’s our vegetable.

Hi, Peas!
Home from vacation, so settling in and trying to enjoy the afterglow instead of stressing about all that there is to do now that we're back.
DD wants to cook with some new seasonings we bought while on vacation, so she's planning some type of grilled shrimp and baked potatoes.
We're also going to run down to a moonlight market in our downtown this evening because she "needs" coffee. I don't really know that that's true since she bought a few bags on vacation, but she's stocking up for this next semester on campus, so I'm humoring her. Fun to have a little excursion together at the market before she returns to school!
Enjoy your weekend, friends.

I really did LOL at your stepdad story, lucyg. Makes the adult stepsiblings relationship so much easier. Fingers crossed you have a deal by the end of the day leannec. Happy Anniversary, taylortroop! Hope you and DH get a nice dinner in the midst of everything else going on. stormsts, I loved the early days of soccer. It is so cool to see how quickly they develop a sense of the game. Hope you have a ton of fun reconnecting with old former classmates tonight. The only place I feed my pup is in the kitchen. She comes running as soon as she hears the knife hitting the cutting board and cleans the floor of anything I "accidentally" drop. The other night she was scooping up something behind me and I stepped on her foot. I don't even know how it happened because we've been doing this kitchen dance for 9 years. So now she comes to the landing where she can watch me, waits until I'm done and goes in for the clean up. How do I get my pup's trust back? We are having salmon, asparagus and zucchini for dinner. I plan to grill but DH is working on his outdoor kitchen so I'm not 100% sure I'll have access to the grill. Broiling will be the back-up plan.

My dinner menu was nixed by the kids. We had grilled burgers and fries.
I have been wanting homemade cookies for ages and finally decided to make them today. Oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They’re amazing!!

leannec congratulations on getting an offer ! It was a nice day today. I was able to shut off my air conditioner, open up my windows and enjoy the breeze. All I did today was go through some papers and shred. For dinner we had rotisserie chicken with sweet potato.

Hey everyone! leannec hope they accept your counter offer! Ran lots of errands before the heat came (104° today with severe thunder storm warning) and have been watching football. Chiefs and now Bills. Dinner is left over chicken I will turn into shredded meat with homemade BBQ sauce, fruit, fries in the AF, and garden salad. Ds is back to school on site and is loving it! Great class, friends, and awesome teacher. The house is so quiet during the week. Dd starts year 2 of college Monday and will have a full load this time. She should be able to transfer after 3 years at the CC. Her dsps counselor is helping with finding programs and she has to start reaching out to 4 yr colleges. My new custom brace came in and I am getting used to it. Different than the one I have for my right leg. Not a fan and I think it needs adjustments. Giving it a few days before I reach out to orthopedic surgery and team. Formula came Thursday. That was crazy and had 4 departments on it. Lots of them are in big trouble. Just glad to have his formula.

leannec all that hard work pays off. Hope it goes well! lucyg that's so cute! Went to the chiropractor and feel better today and then shopped at Trader Joe's and doing laundry. Looking for some activities in the bay area to do this week. Had planned to go up to Napa one day but saw it will be 95 the day we were thinking of. Way too hot for me! May make a reservation for later. Tonight we are having Korean Vegetable Pancakes and some leftover salmon.

Thanks so much for all the anniversary wishes. We were going to go out for dinner to celebrate. However, we stopped in to visit MIL beforehand and we ended up getting take out and eating with SIL and MIL. We can always go out to dinner next year for our anniversary.
My youngest son wrote his exam today to get into the pipe fitters union. He is working in the field already but must do an apprenticeship as part of the position.
