We accomplished a lot this weekend - it seems as tho R got a lot done, I didn't feel like I helped much but....Light post in, garden planted, herbs planted, flower bed mulched in back, patio cleaned off again from all the tree stuff, yard cut, leaky valve fixed, laundry all done, 10 mi bike ride (R did 27 mis), feeders moved, vacuuming done, R packed (now gone), tables and power washer put away, I think that is all...
R is gone so dinners will be whatever I find, no big deal.
Not sure I will ride this week either, R took the truck that carries the bikes. We will see! Anyway, have a great week.

Weekend and menu
We had a great weekend shared with good friends and family - who happen to be the best hostess/es anyone could ask for...
Headed to the CBus area for the weekend to ride in an organized family bike ride in Waldo, The Hot Tamale Ride. Most of us were scheduled to ride 32 miles - one went for the 16 mile ride. All finished their course but me - hmmmm. I am happy I was able to make it as far as I did but disappointed; cause when you set your mind to finish you want to finish - right? Come to find out the ride was actually about 37 miles and I finished 31.5-32 miles, so ok, rode what I thought I set out to do - but still you want to cross the finish line. The ride was not "flat" as they stated and stops along the course, pretty much nonexistant. One stop for food and bathroom break, needed water stops - an improvement I will certainly suggest and thoroughly encourage.
Anyway, received a splotchy sunburn even after putting on sunscreen - yes the new med I was on states to stay out of prolonged sun exposure - guess I didn't read that too well. Most of us did get sun while riding but it wasn't really anything due to sunscreen we did put on before the ride.
Our hostesses put on a lunch when we returned that was wonderful; and then we sat around and played cards, chatted, relaxed and enjoyed the remainder of the day. Dinner was fabulous as always and we had so much fun!
Monday - Pork or chicken, roasted potatoes, veggie or salad
Tuesday - opposite of Monday, red pepper/onion sauteed with seasoning, rice
Wednesday - Breakfast for dinner
Thursday - out of town R on his own (funny if you know R - I will actually be on my own)
Friday - Homemade Grill Pizza
Might be back in CBus Thursday - it will be a last minute thing I am sure. Patootie on Wed - Thurs night if we go out of town. Would really like to get lamppost in on Saturday - guess we'll see! Have a great week!

Tuesday - BLT's, mango

My post didn't post so that is why updates are included - oops!

Limits
As my mom would have said she was the limit yesterday. So cute but she was in a mood, yes that would be Mac. Today she showed signs of pushing the limit so we have filled her day with things she hasn't done here before.
We were told by dad that in a developmental website he follows to have her kick a ball. Now she doesn't walk, or stand very well for that matter, but I held her and had her kick a ball. The first time I had to kind of swing her sideways to make her leg move to kick the ball. Fun times are being had by Mac and me. We also watched the garbage truck pick up trash. This is different too as our truck is automatic and lifts the huge can over the top of the truck to dump inside. So the huge rolling can needed to be brought back, and it is raining. Water doesn't hurt her so we went to get the can and have her get a little wet. She was funny when she was getting hit by the drops, she didn't know where to look.
Mac is napping right now and has been for about 1 1/2 hours - she will be up soon for lunch. I am going to try and sneak mine in before she gets up otherwise I might not get any.
Dinner menu has changed too -
Tuesday - Grouper, rice, green beans
Wednesday - Fast Fumi Salad
Thursday - Greek Chicken Pasta
Friday - Pizza (homemade)
We are riding on Saturday, a 17 mile trail - see if we can make the 34 mile roundtrip. Need to take a little food to have energy to endure the full mileage.

Leftovers
Yes, the menu this week will be lots of leftovers. We had a couple of barbecues with a birthday thrown in this weekend. We have actually had some of the leftovers already at the 2nd barbecue. Fun times and great weather.
R's bday was fun a long ride on Saturday of over 20 miles for me and 23/24 for K, J, J and R. G did over 16 miles. Then we were on to shopping a little for a maternity top I saw for $6 - can't go wrong there. Grocery and then home to cook for the bday party. Good food, good friends/family makes for good times. Missed others that couldn't make it but had a good time too.
Went to the lake on Sunday, lunch, boat ride and fishing and just hanging with in-laws and friends. Barbecue for Memorial Day at our house with more in-laws and playing a little with Mac when she came over for a little bit with her dad. No dinner last night just nibbled on popcorn. Kids made it home, although it was late and I'm sure it is making for a long day today.
So the menu this week is leftovers cause I can't throw it away! Sure we will have to add sides but it will be a short week too. Have a great week everyone!

Nothing -
I have nothing for a menu this week cause the cook is gone again, and will be next week too! Although his bday is Saturday so want to do something on that day. We will be riding I hear on the Wabash trail - we did 13 miles Sunday so looking to do about 15 for me/19 for him - hmmmm, maybe more. Barbie chicken sounds good.
It is the holiday weekend coming up too. I want to have most of the grass cut Friday when he returns so he can enjoy his day, but can't do too much of the back. Too angled and I almost took my leg off a couple of times so I don't do it anymore. A little more planting to do, but we had frost warnings last night so hopefully that will not happen again. Pansies seemed to do well.
Swing built this weekend for little Miss Mac, and she was in it today. I think she really likes it and gives us a little something to do outside; besides take walks that is. She is napping right now, she didn't nap but 20 min. this am. We went to the bank, and when we got out of the car all she wanted to do is stare at the traffic going up and down the road. She loves to watch the cars, trucks, motorcycles, and all of the other stuff too.
Gotta run, she is up again! Ouch not enough time to get anything done today.

Changing...
I think I am changing my mind for dinner tonight - I want breakfast. Poached eggs, ham, french toast/waffle and tea! It is rainy and cooler today so want to warm up a bit. Idol is on tonight and also America's Next Top Model final - thank goodness for a DVR. All my reality shows are coming to an end - what will fill my time now? R leaves next week again - gone all week. Lots of travel right now, not any different than any other year I guess.
Mac took a couple naps today - an hour this morning and about 45 min this afternoon; when Mom got here she had to wake her to get going. She will sleep good tonight, I would think, as she was awake for about 1 1/2 hours last night. A tooth is coming I think on the bottom right, left is through although not a full tooth yet. She was standing a bit today, when she thinks about it she falls. And she chased the dog today, Riesa is pretty patient I think.
Oh well, I will see Mac next week when she returns. Wonder what she will be doing then? Walking is going to come sooner than we all think, and I will be very nervous outside by the pool. She will permanently wear a life jacket with a handle on the back like dogs do - ha!
