Here I am again, did everyone enjoy their french fries? We didn't end up having any, even had them already, Donkey didn't want.
Then found out this morning, yesterday was also Happy Pecan Pie Day, that I know he would of wanted.
So summer is here and so far so good, I presently look like a nice piece of chocolate, and if I have my way I will be dark chocolate soon. We seem to be getting enough rain to keep everything nice and green, but also those beautiful hot days that makes everyone complain about the heat. We are just never happy, either too cold or too hot. Personally I hate the cold and everything about it, well I should correct that, I do like ice in a nice tall drink.
So yesterday I worked most of the day, because of the rain. So was able to rack up a nice amount of hours. Worked my poor fingers to raw bleeding bones, well that is what I tell the boss anyways. Who am I kidding I am the boss.
Dinner last night was BBQ burgers, some deviled eggs, (to put a smile back on my Donkeys face). And again when I figure out the whole picture thing I will include some. The deviled eggs looked yummy sitting in the frig. Oh and a salad, have to eat something healthy. Donkey took the leftovers today, hope he opens a window.
Now for the Wine Korner - nothing exotic or expensive. Just a nice strawberry zinfandel, always a good choice, especially when it is hot out. Donkey's new beer of choice is Steam Whistle, compliments of our neighbor who has introduced him to this pilsner. A nice local brewery, keep it Canadian if you can. But he was busy working outside and not wanting a beer. The yard is looking so good. We are now ready for the hot tub motor to be returned to the tub, and then the construction can begin. Damn mosquitoes, they are the reason behind all the work. You can't sit outside after 7 unless you want to be on the vampire menu. Well we will fix their little blood sucking ways!
I finished a really good book last night. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, and I am sure most of you have seen the movie by now, I am not a tv person, would rather read the book. It was wonderful, a very good read, left me crying at the end. Love a book that can make me cry. Tears are such a waste of an emotion!
Today is a hot one!!!!! I have some soil to move and some grass seed to attempt to plant; as long as I do that before Miller time I should be okay. And of course I have to work on my tan. Days like today I wish my beautiful Grandchildren lived closer and we could play in the pool all day. Someday this will happen, especially if they move to my little village. Yes I am a grandma, and it is the best! wish I had of had them first. No offense kids! How can it get any better, you wind them up, sugar them up and then send them home. And they truly love me, even when I make them help clean the house. I have a picture of my curly haired granddaughter vacuuming before she could walk. Anyone that knows me, knows I am not kidding. Teach them young, not a bad thing. My little grandson even wipes down the counter after washing his hands, how cute is that. When my daughter is up next she will teach me how to add photos and I will share these little treasures with you.
So I guess I should head outdoors and get my chores done so I can enjoy Miller time. In this heat you need to keep hydrated!
I hope everyone has a Great Day and look forward to rambling again tomorrow.
love and hugs
Wish we could be there too on this wonderfully hot days alongside the pool hanging out with the best grandma! Going to have to come get us one day so we can hang out all day.
