Week-end Happenings

Last week-end was quite busy. It was our week-end to go to the valley and do the yard work needed for the Mother in law. So we got up fairly early, and grabbed a breakfast sandwich at Mc D's and that needed cup of coffee and off we went! Ho Ho Ho Arrived around 9:15 AM. It was hubby doing the lawn and some trimming of a shrub, while he was busy doing this, we had a cup of coffee and talked for a while. About 10:00 AM, my sister in law and I went to a local town and looked in a "Antique "shop. It was fun looking, which we did for an hour or so, and even though I saw some things I liked, I didn''t buy this time. Well, I do just look sometimes!! :-) Perhaps the next time, I will find that something that I just have to have. Meantime, we went back to Sister's and visited a bit before it was time to go to lunch. Once more we went to our favorite place, "Osaka's". Oh, yum, the sesame chicken is the best I have ever had!!!! I order that everytime, even though there are other items I like too. The salad and California rolls are excellent. They give such portions that I always have a doggie bag to bring home with me. :-) For that snack or lunch nextday. This time I took it to my granddaughters, as daughter had invited us to stop back by Tracy and have dinner with them. Thought it was going to be at her house, instead we went to the "Texas Road House". It is a fun place to go, you eat peanuts and throw the hulls on the floor, while waiting for your name to be called for dinner. It took a couple of times going there before I was comfortable about throwing things on the floor!!! My Mother taught me not to do those types of things!!! Oh, well, it was fun and we had a nice visit while eating. Daughter had made a delicious cake, "Butter Pecan with Cream Cheese Icing" for dessert, and even if I didn't need it, I had a slice. MMMMMMM, it was good!! She is an excellent cook, and baker. I was suprised that my blood sugar was not higher than it was. Can't do that all the time, but I will try to restrain myself next time. :-) Sorta rested the next day and worked in the yard, pulling a few of those weeds missed last time. The Dahlias are coming along quite well. Flags and Peonies are blooming as well as Roses in the back. Nice!! It has been cold again this week on the morning walks, and staying that way into the afternoon before warming a bit. I am ready for some warmer weather!!!! My printer went compoot this week, so have to order a new one. Ugh!! hate to have to rewire new things, not too good at that stuff, but I will do it. I really miss not having the option of printing things out!! :-( Went to see my sister this morning, she was not feeling great, but she said she is improving. No word on how the tests came out, but I did not question her on that, as I figure when she wants to let me know she will. She liked the Daffodils I brought, and the angel cup. Her Roses are just beautiful, so full and heavy , the English type I love. Mine were suppose to be that kind, but they are not as full, so I don't think they are!! Well, this afternoon, I went to the senior center, there was a Volunteer Appreciation celebration for the volunteers. It was nice, munchies and desserts. Awards for long time volunteers. Next year I will get a 5 year one. Those years sure went by quickly!!! Ta Ta for now. Antique Rose
