Good morning.
Today I have one video call. Apart from that it's another day of rest. I think we're going to either have taco Tuesday or tarragon chicken and wild rice w/salad. It's going to depend upon how I feel at dinner cooking time.
What's on your menu?
What are you up to today?
May today bring smiles, happiness and peace to all.

Another lovely day here in Vienna. Today we have been to Schloss Belvedere, a wonderful Art Gallery that has the world’s largest collection of works by Gustav Klimt. After we finished there, we came back into town and had Sachertorte at the Hotel Sacher and now we have just finished at the cathedral. DS has just told me it is beer o’clock, so we’re in search of somewhere to drink. Dinner tonight is likely at an Austrian restaurant near our apartment

We are finishing up loading the car and will be headed to the Bay Area shortly. We are meeting friends in the town where DS lives to have lunch then will head to Half Moon Bay this afternoon. Dinner will be lobster! At least, that is the plan!

Good morning! Hope you have a nice, restful day scrapmaven! I would love to see that exhibit sueg! I just got out of the shower. We had a lounging morning. I finished my book. And then some breakfast. The showers here take quarters. For one quarter you get 4 minutes. I managed to take a shower and wash my hair in one quarter. Jeremy used a freaking dollar!! How is that possible? I've been teasing him relentlessly about it. My hamburger meat wasn't thawed last night. So we ended up having sausage, onions, peppers and potatoes foil packets. They were delicious. I took the meat out this morning so we can have our beef enchilada crunchwraps tonight.

Your day sound fantastic, sueg . Enjoy your evening. cadoodlebug , have fun w/your friends and enjoy your lobster this evening. Have a great little getaway. Happy Birthday to hutchfan . She always has a happy and thoughtful post. May your year be filled w/smiles, joy and delicious dinners.
jeremysgirl, I've heard of pay toilets, but never pay showers. Though it does make sense. Jeremy must have smelled squeaky clean after spending 4 quarters. Have a great day today. Dinner sounds so yummy.

hutchfan Hope you have a fabulous day! jeremysgirl that is funny! I just finished teaching my first class. One more tonight. I didn't sleep well last night. Since I was awake early I got up and went for a walk. I'm not ready for these cool mornings. Not sure how many grandsons we will have tonight so DH will fix spaghetti for them.

scrapmaven I am feeling pretty good. I still have tenderness in my abdomen and I am still following the rules of no lifting over 10 pounds, no stairs and not a lot of bending down. I really want to decorate my living room and kitchen for fall. But all of my decorations are in the basement. So I may ask YDS to bring a couple of bins up and put them on the kitchen table so I don’t have to bend down.

destined2bmom, I was just going to suggest that you have yds move stuff upstairs and then I read the last part of your post. Woohoo. My yds always has a short honey-do list when he comes home, because he's so tall. He does top o' fridge and ceiling fans, apart from grabbing things from the top shelves of the pantry. I always joke that I had kids in order to have someone mow the lawn. Of course, neither of my sons have ever mowed a lawn.

We're gonna grill out pork chops, have fried potatoes and velveeta mac and cheese. I was going to make that last night, but the college kids had other plans so we saved it for this evening.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Not sure what’s for dinner. I’ve been talking about doing a grocery order for the past couple of days, but I’m leaving town for four days on Thursday, so it seems dumb to stock up on fresh produce and dairy at this point. Tomorrow I’m having dinner with my mom. So now I’m just limping along, and I’ll do my grocery order on Monday. There’s still lots of food here. Just not so much fresh stuff. Happy birthday, hutchfan!

I have chicken thighs defrosting, along with corn for DH to grill. After our walk DF gave me a couple of eggplant from her garden, I have peeled them and mixed them with some sauce I had in the freezer and minced garlic, I will bake that concoction to have with dinner. Hope it tastes as good as a similar dish we had in Greece

scrapmaven, I just got a reminder from Papa Murphy’s that it’s $12.99 Tuesday today (well, every Tuesday). So take & bake pizza it is. There’s veggies on the pizza.

Happy Birthday hutchfanSounds like you and your son are enjoying your trip suegdestined2bmom here’s how I make hummingbird food. 2 parts water to 1 part organic sugar. I boil it then let it cool. No coloring of any kind. They think it’s bad for their intestines. I it my feeders near flowers that hummingbirds like. I currently have salvias -3different varieties,snapdragons, zinnias and angel trumpets. The angel trumpets just bloomed so idk if they’re good or not. Even if they aren’t they’re very showy. It’s my first time planting them. A man at the garden store said I can bring them in for winter. Made another batch of focaccia dough. I’m following the proofing instructions more exact to see if it gets more air. So it won’t actually bake until tomorrow. Veggie burritos for today. taylortroop or maybe @stormst you mentioned I’d be tired after watching the nieces. They were so much easier than my grandson. He never stops ever. The girls were so chill except when the baby had to be fed. She doesn’t like the bottle so she had to be coaxed. I’m picking my grandson up early from daycare today. An update on my sister. Her GYN & family doctor have banded together with 2 radiologists to go to a different cancer center. She has an appointment tomorrow. I offered to go but she said wait in case she needs treatment help. My other sister & I have been trying for weeks to convince her to see someone else. She happens to be one of her GYN’s first patients out of med school so they’re close. Still having trouble posting. I’ve updated my phone and deleted excess. So I’m not sure what that’s about.

teddyw, I'm glad that your sister is going to a different cancer center. I'll keep her in my prayers that the doctors can do state-of-the-art treatment and get rid of her cancer for good. lucy, veggies on pizza count. Enjoy dinner. Delta Dawn, w/surgery happening tmw I would anticipate that you're very worried. Just remember that you have a tribe sitting w/you and your dad is in great hands.

I had all three grand boys up and out of the house in 45 mins this morning. I dropped them off at the before school program and was home by 7:30 am. DH and the dog were just getting up.
I’m currently filling out passport applications because ours are due to expire in December. We don’t have any trips booked but hoping to use the passports in the next ten years before they expire again!
DH took his ATV in for a winch repair today. While he was there, he noticed the next size up was on sale. So he left after having bought a new ATV! What??!!
Today is my youngest DS’s 30th birthday. Seriously no idea how my baby can be 30!! He just started a new job so I don’t expect to see him today but hopefully on the weekend.
Supper tonight is grilled steak, grilled potatoes and corn.

I have done very little so far today ... big surprise I know! I picked up a few groceries ... went for ice and limes and spent $70! Then I tried to send a document online for more than an hour and never did figure it out ... so frustrating! I also made contact with my union representative ... we need to get our butts in gear now so that the school board realizes I am not returning to that ridiculous teaching assignment ... nope. My mum is coming over after bingo and staying for dinner ... we'll have something from Hello Fresh ... she gets to choose! Happy birthday hutchfan !

I have a Dumpster Update!!
Just a few minutes ago the truck came and emptied the dumpster and moved it to the other side of the driveway. It's still on the easement and not anywhere close to being on their property but, at least I can't see it when I drive down the road.
I think I am going to have fill out another online report.
Is this ever going to end!!!

Hey guys - got a blue apron delivery so should probably fix one of those - been a rough couple days. Not sure why I'm struggling - probably just adjusting to kids not being here, but may default to taco tuesday - cause why not?!?!

Surprised my doctor & office staff with fresh-from-the-oven banana pecan muffins this morning. I was up early and had a 7:30 am appointment. I can walk to the office and the muffins cooled down while I was walking to my appointment. I have requests for Pumpkin muffins for October.
Posted some stuff that I've been working on in the craft thread.
Finishing up the potato salad and meat buns with a salad for dinner tonight.
Spent the day sewing a couple of cute pillowcases for my dgd to match the quilt that I made for her. Will post the quilt when I am finished binding it.
