Done...

Done with all of it - R's dad's is better, still not good but much much better too! A new bed, storage for clothes, new clothes to be kept clean, things (many things tossed) - have to wait to see if it works. Otherwise another plan may be put in place, I sure hopes he understands this part. But all the attention was thrown his way this last week - and that is what he wants. Only time will tell. The others, I am done. Terrible situation.

Anyway, Mac is here today and tomorrow and she is a fireball. Napping right now.

Menu:
Monday - Hamburgers, homemade fries
Tuesday - Pork, corn on the cob, salad

The rest of the week I am on my own - R gone to CT, I think!

A wedding this coming weekend, looking forward to it. Haven't been to a wedding in a while and I really like weddings. To me weddings are better than the reception! Have a great week!

Later...

Yes, all weekend I was telling K "later" and she didn't like it...oh well. Later came and she got what she wanted - and how old is she???? Yep, dinner, fire, cards, movie, rollerblading (me only, not pretty). It was a filled weekend.

Friday - dinner with friends and kids and Mac; some would say enough drinking. We stopped before the out of control types started.
Saturday - breakfast, sun and reading; R to his dad's for clean up work; dinner with friends and K and card playing, fire w/s'mores, looking at stars
Sunday - breakfast, movie (R to his dad's), time with brother, sil and Mac to include lunch (R came for lunch), R back to his dad's; K and I reading and a little (very little) rollerblading to see if I could get used to it. R to his dad's hotel for dinner and a chat.

Meals:
Monday - sausage, salad, broccoli or broccoli quiche
Tuesday - Salad w/chicken
Wednesday - Egg Foo Young
Thursday - ???? maybe taco salad
Friday - Pizza

Have Mac on Wed and Thurs this week. Maybe J on Wednesday - that would be fun; if so a park might be in the works.

Need to get a job somewhere soon, let me know if you know of anything.

Want to eat this week?

I certainly do - tonight will be one of my all time favorites - and it is from Mom. She used to have to make so much of this cause all 7 of us ate and ate, and then Grandma lived with us making it 8; and if Aunt Lois and/or David came too we could be up to 10 people. Funny how you remember though, Mom died 6 yrs ago, Grandma 30 yrs ago, Aunt Lois 26 yrs ago and it seems like yesterday that I can picture the kitchen with the table set and the smell...

Monday - Wilted Lettuce with knepfles (no idea if this is how you spell this), I really don't care what else we have cause I only want the salad. Oh my gosh my mouth is watering....

Sidenote - Mom made me a cookbook when I was married; handwritten and placed in a three ring notebook 5x7" size. I love the book, although I do not cook, it is in my mother's handwriting and she had beautiful penmanship. If you asked her she would tell you too! The recipe for the wilted lettuce is in there, the knepfles, nope - had to get from my sister's book. She didn't make them the same.

Tuesday - Baked Spaghetti (Dinner to daughter's in laws on Sunday after a surgery in their house; we get the leftovers, ok by me) salad, bread
Wednesday - Chicken Salads
Thursday - R work picnic - not sure I will go since I have Mac but will find something quick if I don't
Friday - Hamburgers on the grill or homemade pizza; have to see if youngest will be home by then

Looking forward to the taste of the "R home"!
