Hello my little leannec ❤️ I hope you have a good day today. I still swallow my horse size pill of a multivitamin every single day. I also have a big, fat magnesium too because my levels of that are low and I get leg cramps when I walk if I don't have it. Ironically the cramps never happen when I run. But somehow the walking gets it all flared up. My sister made me a banana cake for dinner last night. It was so good to see everyone. Even my nephew came and surprised us. He is almost 17 now and he is my brothers son so we don't get to see him often since my brother died. I am just getting ready to step out to the farmers market. I will get some fresh fruit and veggies there. Will then be inspired to make something for dinner. I kind of feel like chicken and veggies in a hoisin sauce over udon noodles. Jeremy will eat it but roll his eyes. Then I want to come back and I am going to see some fun throw pillows for my camper. Wanna see the fabric? Happy birthday karenlou!

It’s hot here today as well - just hit 36C, which is hotter than predicted. We have had a fairly lazy day. This morning we had someone in to trim our hedge - it should be done in fall or spring, but we missed this year due to a miscommunication with our landlord over who was to be responsible for it. DH did the grocery shopping and apart from that, nothing much. I have just finished watching the Wimbledon women’s final, while DH had a nap. Maybe I’ll go for a walk later, when it cools down a bit. With the hedge trimmer coming this morning, I missed the chance to go out early.
Dinner tonight is going to be burgers, but in wraps rather than buns.

Oh my gosh, I love that fabric...your pillows are going to be great, jeremysgirl! Nice surprises for your birthday with your nephew and cake. Banana is my favorite for birthday cake too. I can bake all kinds of things but our local grocery store makes the best banana cake, hands down. I order it undecorated and decorate it myself. I need to try your recipe. Nick is working on my rear brakes. The rotors either need turned or replaced. I will be so happy when that job is done. I will be driving back and forth to campus for the fall semester, 67 miles each way, so I am relieved that will be taken care of. We have a graduation open house for my cousin's daughter (and another tomorrow) today. We actually ran around doing fun stuff yesterday so doing projects at home today works. I think my cousin is doing tacos so that will be lunch, and if we do eat later it will be something simple. Yesterday we thrifted at one of our favorite stores and I had an overflowing cart, mainly stuff for the rv. I found a curtain I will cut up for curtains over the bunk in the rv, a very worn in quilt for cooler nights, a can opener, a clock, a cute decorative canvas wall decoration, a dishtowek, some board games, and some bakeware. I also found a package of scrapbook paper for 5.00 with about 40bucks worth of materials, and 2 sb albums. I haven't done much in years but I'm really motivated to get back into it with the boys' activities and our adventures. I found 4 purses, some magazines and cds (am I the only one who still buys cds? I play them in the car). Aldi had a small air fryer and I am considering a small microwave that Nick will install over the stove, but I haven't gone for it yet. We leave for our next trip in 2 weeks and we are excited...can you tell?? Happy Saturday, folks!

Just got back from a 2.5 mile walk and it is already very hot. Heading towards 108. Happy Birthday, karenlou ! Love the fabric, jeremysgirl ! Did I tell y'all we had a lovely letter from an attorney in Hong Kong letting us know that we will inherit $10,500,000 when a long-lost relative dies. He is VERY sick so time is of the essence for us to get in touch with the attorney. When we receive our money, I'll gift all my tribe-mates tons of money! Dinner will be salmon burgers with tartar sauce, a vegetable and a fruit salad.

karenlou ~~ Happy Birthday and enjoy your meal. FResh SWEET CORN is being picked as I am posting this. The neighbour has a sweet corn stand and I love having it right picked off the stalk fresh. So that is what is for dinner for the next few days. YUMMY!! My cousin is coming over for a visit. I found the family photographs going back to the early 1900's and we will be going thru this. Also found the family tree (very organized) from 1650 - 1995! Lots of ancestry stuff to go thru as well. That will keep us busy for quite awhile. I will pick the last of the rhubarb and make a pie or more. Strawberries are still in season, so maybe a strawberry pie? I just need people to come and feast with me.

Still babysitting. Today the big boys are at their other grandparents for the day so I just have the little one. He’s currently napping and I was able to catch a few winks on the couch.
Apparently my DDIL assisted in a medical emergency on the plane to Victoria. She chatted with the flight attendant at the beginning of the flight and happened to mention that she is a nurse. Halfway thru the flight, the attendant located her and told her there was a medical emergency and they needed her help. A woman had passed out and was unresponsive. DDIL helped get her back. DS said it was something straight out of a movie. He laughed that they were comped a free bottle of water for her efforts. So much for being a hero!
Supper tonight will be frozen pizza.

Happy Saturday! Got up early and went to the farmers market. Was hoping to get some corn but it was all sold out. Still got some nice vegetables for the week. Stopped by a friends house for a short visit. Happy birthday karenlou. Enjoy your dinner. I love that fabric jeremysgirl. It will be so fun in your camper. Dinner will be something on the grill.

Hi friends! Long time no chat. 😊
We considered going to a minor league baseball game tonight, but decided against it with the threat of thunderstorms (it's also around 90 out - ick 🥴). So we had pizza for dinner since I'd not picked up anything at the store, thinking we'd be out.
Happy weekend!

Happy Birthday karenlou. Enjoy your dinner out with KelleeMcadoodlebug with your inheritance I expect all of us to be included in that Iceland, Denmark… trip Dd2 and I went on a 4 mile hike this morning. Then it rained off & on so far. Dh & I are trying to figure a flow for the tables for dd’s bridal shower next weekend that my sisters are giving. So far I’ve planned it and bought everything 🙄 One of my sisters has been coming to visit every week for a month to work on stuff. She’s had the stupidest excuses every time. 🤷♀️ Made Philly cheesesteaks with veggies for dinner. Now I’m watching Shark Week.

Same sh!t new Day and the drama May be solved. I did nothing but eat everything like Costco chicken salad and yoghurt and more chicken salad. Everything between Dad and I is great. There are no issues. I suggested I try air frying sone salmon he sent me the recipe for and decided he would rather have burgers. That was what he knew I wanted but I was fine to AF salmon for him, too.
Drama is over. We are exhausted and life is good.

Our favorite cake is a banana cake with chocolate frosting. When I was in school, my mom would make banana cupcakes with banana frosting for me to take to school for my birthday.
We tried to order from a small, local Italian restaurant, but they were out of...chicken. Then we tried our Chinese restaurant, but the wait was an hour for carryout. So, we ordered Thai food and it was delicious!
Still trying to figure out a hotel for Las Vegas. Everything is either a dump or super expensive. ☹ We have never been so we have no idea what we are doing. It is for a softball tournament, so we wont have a ton of free time.

It is for a softball tournament, so we wont have a ton of free time. I watch a lot of youtubers who are experts on Las Vegas ... no idea why! The consensus seems to be that some great hotels to stay at are the Cosmopolitan and Paris ... prices might be higher than what you are willing to pay though ... I don't think that there are any deals in Vegas anymore ... you pay to stay in a nice place and it is worth it to me ... I hope you have a great time!
