Family Dinner

 Yesterday was a busy day in a good way.  We generally have dinner with Sonsearae and Chris on Sundays.  Yesterday was the first since they returned from their Alaska Cruise.

I was up and had breakfast then got busy in the kitchen.  I made brownies with walnuts and some Spanish rice as our contribution to the dinner.  Sonsearae did all the heavy work!  She made enchilada sauce and Mole Sauce on Saturday to make various kinds of enchiladas for our dinner.  She also whipped up some pinto beans in the Insta Pot.  Pico d Gallo was fresh made also.  She does this meal prep for their meals for the coming week but she also sends some home with us.  

Close to dinner time Chis made us ladies a yummy margarita.

After we stuffed ourselves we gathered in the living room to see all the pictures they took on the cruise.  Alaska is quite beautiful!  They flew into Vancouver to board the ship  and made stops at Ketchikan and Hoonan, maybe another port.  

Then it was time for dessert, the guys chose to have ice cream with their brownie. Since it was close to 1600,  Sonsearae, Jim and I went to an open house that was getting ready to close.  We had fun wandering around the four bedroom home with a pool.  We all agreed it was well worth the price!  After that Jim and I went home.

Once home I had some coffee...it's a thing for me, Iced Coffee around 1600.  We settled in and watched a couple episodes of Nautilus, can't remember what channel this series is on, but it is exciting.

This morning I was up just after 0730.  Had shredded wheat with blueberries for breakfast.  Jim got up around 0930, maybe later can't remember!  Around noon he headed over the take care of Louis 

while Chris and Sonsearae were at work.  Then he went to the car wash and I took a nap.  When I nap I use the timer set at one hour so I don't sleep to long.  I had just gotten up when Jim came home and in due course he took a nap!

While he rested I made a card

Saturday Shopping

 Once again I could not go to sleep last night.  Finally got up around 0030 because I was hungry and had a couple crackers.  Not good because I had to test my glucose this morning...

I was up at 0715, felt rested so I guess all is good.  I had Kite Hill Greek yogurt with blueberries for breakfast, coffee and some soy milk.  When Jim got up around 1030 he had instant oatmeal.

I finished up some Pooh cards that I started yesterday.  The kit is from Echo Park

Yesterday Sonsearae sent a text asking if I'd like to go to an estate sale after she gets off work on Saturday...Sure!  It can be fun looking through other folks belongings. And spending time with this young lady is always fun.

On Saturday she works until noon and another text this morning had me scurrying to get ready.  I was folding clothes but left that for later.  Jim and I hopped (? we didn't really hop!) in her car and we headed to Canopy Roads for some lunch/breakfast.  Once our meal was over we drove a short distance to check out this sale.  The home belongs to an elderly couple who have moved into a retirement home.  This was the second weekend of the sale but there was a lot to look at with reduced prices.  I bought a can of bug spray, actually Sonsearae paid for it.  But it was only $2.  She was able to pick up a lot of new gift bags for birthdays and Christmas.  I'm not sure what all she got but it was two tubs and a Halloween sign for a friend.  Jim didn't find anything he needed.

We dropped Jim at home and continued on,  going to Aldi then Publix for some groceries.  A fun four hours shopping with our beautiful daughter.  Jim was snacking on trail mix and watching YouTube when we returned.

Once I put everything away it was time for coffee.  I caught up on my games and read for awhile.  Oh I also finished folding the clothes and put them away.

I was a bit surprised when the AC came on around 1730!  I think that's the earliest this summer.  Our days are warming up but it usually stays cool inside with the ceiling fan.  Of course we run it at night setting the thermostat at 75.
