Saturdays Valley Visit

I had a great day visiting the valley. We left early for our semi weekly trek. Hubby takes care of his Mom's lawn, and other tasks as needed. In the meantime, my sister in law and I go shopping at a local town, and while she goes to one store I go to another, and then we meet and come back home . I love the store called "Home Goods", it has lots of great things, at reasonable prices, and I say you can't ask for more than that! I usually find something or other to buy. This time a really neat watering can filled with Spring flowers. Gave that to my daughter, she likes watering cans, although it is usually vintage that she likes to collect. Sometimes I find jam, or quilts, or something that catches my eye. After going back home(Mom's), we then went out for our lunch at a local Japanese restaurant. Yum!! I didn't eat the rice, just some salad and my fave, sesame Chicken!! Then back and another hour of visiting and then on to my daughter's. I got to be with her and granddaughters for a good long visit, along with helping out some with preparation of a great dinner, did I mention she is a great cook?! Well she is, and the dessert later was to die for. Blueberry coffee cake. Oh, yum, yum, yum!!!!!!!! It was soooooo good. I will just live with the higher blood sugar test in the morning. :-) Saw the pictures that the two had got back , well one was there, the other to be ordered but saw the proofs. So beautiful, they were!! I can't wait to get one of each! My daughter had got me three magazines that I love to read and drool over. They are paper candy, love the vintage stuff in them, and the ideas that they give me. So nice of her to think of me when she got some for herself!!! Son in law is getting to be quite the barbecuer. Lovely fish, chicken and brats were on the menu. Mmm good. It was a lovely day and when I got home got a letter saying that my lab tests came back good, the blood sugar had improved a great deal, so I will try harder to get them down some more. Yipee!! Good news for a change. Too bad she didn't call in person and let me know right away, like she did when they were bad!!!!! :-( Well, the hubby has hit the sack already, and I should, so will say Ta Ta for this time.
