AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 06/22

Good morning! Dh and I walked ridiculously early this morning to beat the heat ~ we’re heading to 102° today. I will spend the day with a fan on me while still journaling our trip and wading through all the pictures to decide which ones to print. This will take me through the month of July!

Dinner will be our favorite chicken, greens, strawberry, etc. summer salad.

Day 3 –The Golden Circle of Iceland Part 2

Before we set off on the path, this was the view.



Me being goofy again. I have way too many goofy shots but they make me smile.


Back to the path, we really enjoyed the beauty of what we were witnessing. The guide took another group picture along the way. I might have mentioned that on some of our trips, we might be lucky enough to get one or two group pictures. This trip we have many to remember with great fondness.



One of my favorite sounds is rushing water. I think it stems back to the 50’s when I was a kid and we were traveling from Napa, CA to Pennsylvania to visit our relatives before we moved back to Hawaii. We headed up through Tahoe and the streams were so full that year and I just remember seeing lots of cabins right near the water and it filled me with happiness.




When we got to the end of the pathway, we had a serious climb up some stone steps which made me a tad nervous. After walking for a while we were afforded views of this beautiful waterfall. The blue streak in the white water really caught our eye.




Tomorrow: tomato soup and how to boil eggs!

Marina, I'm so sorry you have to miss a family get-together because of food poisoning. I've had it a few times in my life and it is awful. Hope you feel better soon!

Marina so sorry. Did you call the restaurant or where you ate? Do you think you got it at?

Still warm here, but my mom and I ran to a huge electronic recycling event and got rid of some old, remote controls, fans, etc. they recycle stuff they can’t fix but run a store where you can go in and buy the items that they have repair. Lots of old, big huge screen TVs were being dropped off.

Feel better Marina !

Another day of no plans but doing a load of towels. Can you tell what an exciting life I live..lol Honestly, I like staying home.
The painter cleaned and scraped the house yesterday. It's ready to be primed on Monday. Keeping fingers crossed we get no rain the way the news is saying.

Dinner tonight will be sloppy joes.

I am just home from a fun afternoon. DH bought me a gift voucher for Christmas that covered a variety of craft classes and today was #2 - pottery. We didn't use a wheel, but rolled out clay and had molds to form our pieces. I made three plates - one squarish, one triangular and one round, in descending sizes and made holes in the center of each. Once fired and glazed, they will be a tiered serving set, with metal 'pillars' between each plate. I will post pictures in a couple of weeks, once they are fired and glazed and I can pick them up.

I heard from my dad about lunchtime. Stepmum is sedated in hospital. The x-rays didn't show any breaks, but she still cant put any weight on her right lg, so something is wrong that hasn't shown up. The doctors have aid she will be in at least until Monday, but I suspect it will be much longer.

Dinner tonight is simple - steak on the grill, with potatoes and salad.

I’m still working on outside stuff. After a couple of years of not being home much and only doing necessary tasks and maintenance I’m a bit overwhelmed. DD and SIL will be over in a bit to help carry the heavy furniture/ umbrellas out from the shed. I cleaned the grill this morning and I think it’s time I bit the bullet and buy a new one.
Tearisci I hope the new microwave comes with a chef to make your meals!
sueg That sounds like so much fun. What a thoughtful gift.

Dinner for me will probably be a sandwich or some chilled fruit. It’s hopefully the last day of sweltering weather. I have no desire to eat heavier meals when it’s this hot.

I had a couple of boyfriends with money so we went to PSC and it was very good. That is going back a long time.

BFF here and I are trying to see if we want to go to our local Keg. We might opt for Mediterranean food. We are kind of tired of the keg.

I went with my bestie to a Dog Festival today which is a fundraiser for the Humane Society (where we adopted Walker). So many people had their dogs with them but Walkers manners aren’t good enough yet for a public event. There were a ton of booths with lots of free giveaways. I came home with a bag full of stuff including toys, food and a Canada Day bandana!

This is Day 6 of the heatwave. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit cooler. We will see.

Supper is leftover pork chops.

Here is the swag I brought home from the festival.

Our CC is on Douglas St. right downtown and is in a dangerous area. Lots of homeless in doorways with weapons. They should move out of the core. 

Hi guys! Just popping in for a bit.

Today is our 10th wedding anniversary. Our friends invited us over to ride their boat and hang out at the lake. TheY just bought the boat like 3 weeks ago. It was a damn near perfect day. We drove the boat out to a sandbar area and then we popped up camping chairs in the water and just sat waist deep in the water all day. We climbed back aboard the boat for some food. I made a Greek pasta salad and some cowboy caviar with tortilla chips. They also brought some chips and a variety of meats and cheeses for sandwich wraps.

We are on our way home now. I will have rechauffe for dinner. Plenty left.

It was a super nice way to spend our anniversary.

jeremysgirl Happy Anniversary! Sounds like a great day!

We went to watch ODGS play in a baseball tourney. He had 6 hours in between games so we only stayed for the first game.

Going to had out for a walk. It has gotten really overcast so the temp will drop enough that I won't melt.

Dinner is rechauffe.

Happy Anniversary jeremysgirl. It was a perfect boat day!

I'm sorry about your lesson scrapmaven. I know it really inconvenienced you but I encourage you to take the lesson if not somewhere else than give that another shot. I feel like this is just holding you back from an enjoyable hobby.
