aKathy's What's for Dinner 5/1

It is a public holiday here today, so DH has been home for most of the day. This morning, he helped one of his young work colleagues move apartments - she came here to work long term from Mexico in January (was here on a short term contract for 6 months last year) and had to move from the company provided 'settle in' apartment to her own place. As she doesn't have a car, DH helped out with some of the larger items.
I spoke to DS and Sophia on Facetime - she read the book she brought home from school for reading practice to me, which was cool. Lucia was funny, she just said 'oh, hi!' before heading off to find mum.
I have organised everything for 1st Communion this weekend and set it out in an obvious place, just in case something drastic happens when I go to the clinic tomorrow and they decide I need to have this thing fixed immediately. I really doubt that will happen, but better to be prepared!

Dinner tonight is going to be burgers. We have had a lovely sunny day here today, and ate lunch outside, and I expect we will do the same for dinner. DH will do the burgers on the grill, I have buns and various accompaniments for us to each build our perfect burger.

Happy Wednesday!

Its a busy day at work as we start our monthly reporting. Of course, just when we had it down, they changed the report template on us so I'm trying to fight my way through it but we have a floater in our department who I think is going to change all of the templates and we can just do the reporting. At least that's what I hope for.

I'm also downloading the new update for Disney Dreamlight Valley. Of course, it didn't come with game pass so I had to buy the game itself. It's updating now so I'll be able to play tonight.

I don't feel like cooking tonight so I think I'm going out with the parents.

Hope you all have a great day!

I took the day off work today because my condo building is having a Spring Tea this afternoon and I love attending things like that ... it's ironic because it's freaking SNOWING outside!   

My mum is coming over later to attend the Tea with me and stay for dinner ... the people that will attend the Tea will be closer in age to her than to me so I think she will enjoy herself.   

We're all a bunch of old retired ladies drinking tea!   


Dinner will be something from Hello Fresh ... it will be salmon something because I ordered two salmon recipes for some reason.   

Hi all.

Miss Bess does have some intestinal thickening, which could be IBD or lymphoma. We were given the options of biopsies, Prednisone, or trying a new food. We are going to do Prednisone and new food. We don't want to put her through the stresses of a biopsy. They'll also give her a cortisone shot before we pick her up tonight. Hopefully all of this will help her.

Thank you! 🩷 DH and I chatted after the vet called me, and he and I were in agreement that we don't want her to suffer, but we're not made of money. I hope she knows how much she has been loved. She has brought so much into our lives.

I love Wednesday's. I take off every Wednesday now until December. It is a beautiful day here. 75F and sunny. The warmer the better for me.

I was on the hunt this morning for a new butterfly bush. Didn't find one. Guess I better find some time to head to Indianapolis to a nursery down there.

Found out last night we are watching the four DGS's Friday-Tuesday. DS has another business trip and he asked his wife to go. It is a fairly quiet weekend for them sports wise which I am thankful for.

taylortroop you were mentioning in yesterday's thread that you are looking for a rain coat. I just purchased one and I love it. I don't know how to link but I purchased it off Amazon. The brand is BLoggerlove. I bought the yellow and it is blue and white striped on the inside. I have received so many compliments on it. Wearing it cheers me up even on a rainy day.

I am to take a walk then going to work on some cards.

Dinner is going to be baked pizza sandwich.

This is for AussieMeg 😉

It was really fun to put together!

Mom hasn't been feeling well so I took her to the dr. this morning. Turns out she has a stomach virus and dehydration. She's staying here with me until my sister picks her up later on tonight.

For dinner I am having rotisserie chicken and hubby is having sushi.

@taylotroop I have a short Eddie Bauer and mid thigh length NorthFace raincoat. Both have hoods. I didn’t see all the comments yesterday so I don’t know what you need it for.

I feel like I need to try the turkey meat loaf this week. I need something different.

I worked on the landscape around our new patio wall after jewelry. Then we came to the lake so I could work on the living retaining wall. Dh has a client dinner north of here tomorrow. His client is just the nicest person. His wife not so much. She literally will sit with her back to me and Never address me. Even when I speak directly to her. Dh finally noticed how bad she is so he said I’m busy. He’s noticed her doing it to other women also. Weirdest thing.
I just wanted to relax on my patio in peace tonight but someone is power washing what sounds to be the whole block. I have noticed yellow jackets buzzing all over again.
Does anyone have tick prevention remedies for the yard. At home dh & I have had ticks on us the last 2 nights. My dog takes prescription meds to prevent them.

I made a salad for the domino’s pizza we picked up. It’s the only thing here. It’s not bad if you love dough.

scrapmaven I don’t know what flooring you picked but we unfortunately have LPV. I don’t love it. And it’s in our whole first floor.

ntsf exciting you’re booking your park entry. Dh has a trip to New Mexico in September so I need to research parks there. We’ve not been to that state.

teddyw: I’m going on a cruise in September beginning in Boston and stopping at the Canadian east coast provinces. I’m sure it will rain at some point during the cruise or during an excursion.
