Hi Everyone! I just got back from breakfast with my mum ... our fav waiter is always happy to see us! No big plans today other than having coffee with a guy that I went on a date with a couple of years ago ... giving it another shot! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I love the taste of Worchestershire sauce in a lot of things ... especially my childhood fav of macaroni and tomatoes! Yum! Dinner tonight will probably be rechauffe pasta ... easy peasy! I hope everyone is feeling well today and that you are having nice weather ... it is hot and smoky here. What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Lazy Sunday here. We had a family chat this morning - Sophia is getting very excited that I am coming to visit soon. Lucia was out for a walk with mum, so we didn’t get a chance to talk to her. After that church, where we met one of the newest members of our community - little Petra, who was born Easter Sunday - and farewelled another member, who is moving on to live in Dubai.
This afternoon I went for a walk and have been knitting since. DH checked out our bikes and went for a ride just now, so we’re ready for nice cycling weather.
Dinner tonight is steak on the grill and salad. Believe me, my dinner menu is about to get boring - it will just be what meat we are grilling and what sides.
Tomorrow I have a dermatologist appointment to have a tiny black spot removed. I have absolutely no idea what to expect - how it is being removed, what pain killers she’ll use and how she will fix me back together. Just to be safe, I am planning soft food for tomorrow, as the spot is right at the hinge point of my jaw.

That's sweet that your server enjoys you so much. Your visit probably makes his shift better. Good luck on your date. Maybe in 2 years he has become MR. Right potential. Maybe? I'm finishing up a puzzle. I'm a bit tired, so haven't been scrapping, but if I get some energy I will. Dinner depends upon whether or not I have to go to the store. We have lamb chops here or I could pull some chicken from the freezer and do chicken tarragon. Hmmm...
sueg , I'm not a doctor, but I am very fair skinned. I've had a couple of benign black spots removed. She did a punch biopsy. She numbed it w/lidocaine and then punched it out w/a tool. Completely painless, though the lidocaine stings a bit. The only aftercare instructions were to let the band aid come off on it's own. It takes a couple minutes. If they're benign and they often are they're called a Blue Nevus. May it be nothing at all. Enjoy today everyone.

We just got back from our walk. Funny meme leannec ! In Louisiana we just called it Lea & Perrins! She numbed it w/lidocaine and then punches it out w/a tool. When DH had his biopsy on his cheek, they forgot to numb it! He was in pain but didn't want to say anything so he just gritted his teeth. He is going to mention it when he goes in for the Mohs surgery on Tuesday. I'm thinking pork loin and baked yams for dinner. The son of a friend of mine has a restaurant in Baton Rouge and he sells this box of seafood for $99. The deal of the century!!

We have had a lazy morning. Yesterday I finished planting the rosebushes and watered everything. Then we had a date night of dinner at an Italian place we like for vodka penne and oizza and carbs, glorious carbs! And we went to Barnes and Noble to look at magazines. I am missing baking so much with us being off sugar! I picked up a new Bake magazine, so I'll live vicariously.
This morning I heard from one of my oldest closest friends. We have not talked much in the last few years and it's a shame. But we had a great conversation and it makes my heart happy. We have a plan to check in on Sundays and start a text chain.
Today we are going to go get Mulch, yay! The things that make you happy as a grown up. Then we are just going to putter around and enjoy a beautiful day. We have lots of rechauffee to pick from, or we may grill some polish sausage.
Sending good thoughts everyone's way! ❤️

I took Walker for a walk this morning and then did some laundry. DH is still feeling very tired but opted to go on an ATV ride with a group of friends this afternoon. He knows once he has his surgery, he won’t be able to ride for awhile. I quietly asked my brother, who is also on the ride, to keep an eye on him.
Unsure about supper yet. I need to check out the freezer and see what’s in there.

cadoodlebug, your dh will be in my thoughts and prayers on Tuesday. taylortroop, you did the right thing when you asked your brother to keep an eye on your husband. ATV riding sounds like a lot of effort when your husband is so fatigued. Good for you for being proactive. tmarschall I love to bake, but haven't eaten dessert in 12 years. Do what I do and fatten the neighbors!

Ooh here's hoping the guy has grown in the past couple of years leannec! I want that box of seafood cadoodlebug! Damn everything looks good in there. Me and Chloe could have a feast. I'm visiting with a friend today while Jeremy and her fiance build some planter beds. I don't know what time we will be home, where dinner is coming from. Basically we are just playing it by ear.

Hi Everyone, leannec Your meme cracks me up. Enjoy your date, I hope it goes well. sueg I bet that you are looking forward to your trip to see everyone! I just love your Sophia updates. It’s so sweet that you and your church were able to meet Petra. How sweet. I pray that your dermatology appointment goes well tomorrow. scrapmaven Have fun doing your puzzle. cadoodlebug That seafood looks delicious. I hope that your DH’s procedure goes well when he has it done. tmarschall It is always wonderful catching up with old friends. I am glad that you finished your planting. What color mulch are you buying? We usually get brown. taylortroop I am glad that you told your brother to keep an eye on your DH. I hope that he has a great time. jeremysgirl Have fun visiting with your friend. Today I went to church and I plan on cleaning the kitchen and vacuuming today. My DH is feeling under the weather with stomach issues, so I may be making soup for him. For dinner I am thinking about making pulled barbecue chicken and vegetables. I want to go to Home Depot to get more plants; but that will happen tomorrow. I hope all of you have a peaceful rest of the day.

I told DH that he and DS could eat the shrimp and the crabs but I'd eat the 15 lbs. of crawfish all by myself. I jokingly asked on the FB post *How much would you charge to mail the box to CA? Asking for a friend.*

Hi Everyone, tmarschall It is always wonderful catching up with old friends. I am glad that you finished your planting. What color mulch are you buying? We usually get brown. Funny you should ask, we are at our less favorite Menards, because they had red and brown at our usual one, but we decided to go with black this time. I usually pick red, but when we bought the house they had put down this awful red lava rock that has been the bane of our existence....I just want it GONE. It is so heavy and the landscape fabric underneath is shredded and no help gettibg it up. Anyway, I wanted the dark mulch so it would look very different from that red stuff.

Ooh here's hoping the guy has grown in the past couple of years leannec! You know I could take that statement in a couple of ways!

Ugh. My insurance company is still processing my authorization for the surgery I'm supposed to have tmw. They said that doctors and nurses are there on weekends and it could be decided today. Talk about pins and needles! I'm a few pieces away from my puzzle being complete. I hate pins and needles. leannec, you cracked me up. Sadly, I do not like seafood. Though I like tuna salad. So, I'll let jeremysgirl and cadoodlebug enjoy that box. Can I please have the corn?

Sorry I’ve been so absent, everyone. Was just tired at night and then the hotel wi-fi was sucky until the middle of the night (when I couldn’t sleep, so I should have posted then). Had a nice time at the crop, didn’t get much done, but neither did any of my friends (plus my sister). We started calling it The Crop of Good Intentions. Going back next month for another one, with BOTH of my sisters. I’ve told you the one from Back East can be a little crazy, right? I know they think I’m dying, because they keep signing up for my crops. scrapmaven , you’re probably asleep by now, but I missed that you’re having surgery tomorrow. Hoping it goes easy for you. Take care. Dinner was a handful of frozen (but baked) pizza bites with some extra cheese tossed on top, and for my vegetable, a baggy of potato chips I brought home from the crop. Don’t judge me. I’m going to bed now! Can hardly keep my eyes open. Chemo #3 tomorrow AM. Still losing hair, but still have plenty left.

lucyg, thank you. Surgery might be off, but I won't know until am. My focus is you right now. Chemo #3 is still chemo and it's so hard on your body. I hope that you'll have people tending to you after chemo with pampering and nurturing. You're a seriously wonderful woman and you deserve all the good things. Sleep well!
