Hi everyone! I'm posting early because I am getting ready to meet my mum for our regular weekly breakfast at Denny's. This is what I posted on Facebook today ... in case you haven't noticed, I have a weakness for funny cat memes My mum tells me that my cat, Ella, is a complete Hoover and will eat almost anything that falls on the floor ... her favs are popcorn and crackers ... she's a senior citizen so I am OK with it ... she is living her best life with Grandma! I don't have any solid plans for the day ... watch some Netflix maybe ... I will probably invite my mum over for dinner ... not sure what we will eat ... I'll ask her what she wants. I hope scrapmaven is having fun!!! How is camping going jeremysgirl? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight ? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

We are just getting ready to leave and head home. It's just under a 5 hour drive. We will probably eat takeout for dinner.
My trip was pretty nice. It was fun staying in the new camper. we had a chance to test it out and see what we want to buy for our next trip. What kinds of things we want to keep in there permanently. Lots more storage than a popup camper. We also got a lot of feedback from Jeremy's aunt and uncle on tips and hacks for making things easier and more functional. Everyone also had the chance to see it and we got some really good feedback and have decided not to paint the cabinets. They are in perfect condition. Kind of a medium warm brown. And the feedback we got on painted camper cabinets was that they weren't going to look good for the long haul. So we've decided against it. We will change up some of our decorating accordingly.
We even slept ok on an RV queen sized (smaller than normal) bed instead of our king. The new mattress was nice and comfortable too. Go Costco!

jeremysgirl , glad the trip was a success and you got good feedback. Safe travels home! The pool party was fabulous! There were over 40 people there (she invited 80!) and tons of yummy food. DH was sorry he drank 4 Mai Tais. We still walked between 7 and 8 this morning. Dinner is up-in-the-air until I hit Raley's. Here's a picture of some of the fun.

We’ve had a normal Sunday with a bit of a late start, due to post-vacation recovery. DH did his regular bakery run for croissants for breakfast and after that was church. Since then we watched football on TV - first the women’s World Cup then the German 2nd division. Now I have a favourite crime show on. Dinner tonight will be chicken and salad - DH was a bit limited in what was available at the airport supermarket yesterday evening. And a Sunday funny for you. My sister turned 60 this week and her party was last night. Her name is Joan and her them was ‘my favourite Joan’. She had a few impersonators as well as several Joan Collins, Joan Jetts and a Pope Joan. Sophia and her Uncle Dom decided on a double act - Joan of Arc, riding in on her trusty . . . . UNICORN!

Oh, sueg I love the theme party and your DS and Sophia look fabulous!!!! How Creative!!!
I am getting ready to go out to walk, I did a 20 mile bike ride yesterday and was going to go again today however I do not want to have to wash my hair again today, therefor a walk...Hoping I won't sweat to much. Dinner will be slow roasted short ribs, with roasted potatoes and carrots. I know it is to warm to be doing short ribs however I actually forgot they were in the downstairs freezer, and they need to be cooked before they are past their prime.
jeremysgirl, Glad you had a nice time camping...safe travels home.

. watch some Netflix maybe ... Watch anything good lately? Also nothing on Netflix, but we’ve been watching season 2 of Dark Winds on AMC+ and then we need to rewatch season 2 of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu because season 3 starts next week. (No one say a word about how many different streaming services we have going.) *sigh* oh!! There’s this I want to watch on Netflix. Unknown: Cave of Bones. A documentary on new discoveries in early human activity, I think in Europe? And Lincoln Lawyer looks good.

OK, I’m definitely doing the steak bites tonight, before the meat gets iffy. It’s a big chunk of London broil, so I’m going to have to give some away. (My neighbor has been bringing over more food for me, so she wins the lottery.) Also have lots of fresh veggies. thanks, cadoodlebug, we’ll try that next. My sister is a lawyer, so I’m sure she’ll have plenty to say about it. OMG, sueg … Joan of Arc riding in on her unicorn. I’m dying here.

You know what, I thought I didn’t get it, but apparently it’s part of some package I have with Xfinity. Who knew? I hardly even watch TV except when my sister comes over. It’s all the rest of the people who hang out here.

Raining like crazy here but DH, Walker and I are sitting on the deck. We are trying to figure out what we want for supper. I suggested fish and chips at the local food truck but not sure it will be open in the rain.
I have to babysit tomorrow and for a few hours on Wednesday. The childcare centre is closed this week for vacation. Don’t even get me started on how inconvenient a full closure is for the working parents who aren’t on vacation this week. I’m not sure why they can’t stay open and stagger staff vacation like every other place of business does. Oh well, I’ll get some quality time with the grandboys.

after not wanting to go out to store. we are having breakfast for dinner. again.
tomorrow will be the store.and the liquor store to get some boxes. thunderstorms are all around and it is about to rain. we are supposed to shop for patio furniture, but not today I think. then I also need to clean out outside closet and donate a bunch of stuff. the best part in summer about being at our condo is going swimming every morning. the pool is across the driveway.

Just got home a little bit ago. We were originally going to stay until Monday but the weather was going to be iffy again today so we got up early and left. Traffic was horrible. I’m going to go for a walk before it rains. Glad your first trip in the new camper was a success jeremysgirl. That is a gorgeous pool cadoodlebug. What a fun party theme sueg. And a very cute granddaughter. DH will run to town and get us something for dinner.

sueg the Sophia duo is adorable! jeremysgirl so inquiring minds need to know how were the frito peanut butter cookies? We are having a quiet Sunday. My back started causing me problems yesterday, so it is slowing me down. I did roast a batch of tomatoes and garlic from the garden. Tonight is rechauffe and freshly roasted vegetables.

Marina I skirted right around the Frito cookies. I didn't even try and just put forth that I was watching what I was eating. However as we were leaving half of them were still left. But there wasn't a cowboy cookie in sight. Everyone loves my cookies.
