Good Morning Jland. And a Happy Father's Day goes out to all the guys today. What's everyones plans for today? Mine is to fix Jim blueberry pancakes for breakfast, and later today cooking shish kabobs on the grill, along with corn on cob, oven roasted baby potatoes, which I bought 5 pounds of at farmers market yesterday, cooked limas with salt pork, a big salad, deviled eggs, and for dessert there is Banana Cream Cake and Banana Split Icecream. I think he'll enjoy his feast today. I have invited Joe up for dinner also. He is alone today for Father's Day.
Everyone is still asleep here. I have been up since 5:30. I like getting up early and enjoying the quiet before Jim and Rebecca get up. I don't get much time to myself, except for early mornings. It means I am totally drained by 8pm when Rebecca goes to bed, and want to crawl in bed myself, but then I don't get to talk to Jim for a bit or watch TV. Last night I was so worn out. I got Rebecca into bed, sat at computer and was going to make an entry. Closed my eyes just for a second, and woke up a couple hours later, lol. Some second huh? I shut off computer and went to bed. Well, so much for my quiet time. Guess who just walked into livingroom? Yep, the child is up.
Weather man says we're having a heat wave for the next few days. Lovely. Guess I'll be staying indoors with the air on, otherwise I can't breathe.
Yesterday Jim and Rebecca and I went to New Jersey to Columbus Market. I love that place. Great deals on produce. I spent 32.00 there and got blueberries, strawberries, cherries pears, lemons, baby potatoe's, yams, green beans, brocoli, tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, jar of fresh peeled garlic, and garlic powder, onion poder, garlic pepper, and spice for cooked shrimp or crabs.
Gas was about 35 cents cheaper a gallon in Jersey then it is here in Philadelphia, so Jim filled the tank. That'll last all week. I made no dinner last night. Rebecca fixed her own. She made herself a bologna and cheese sandwich with mustard, lol. Jim and I had tomato and mayonaise sandwich. In a few weeks we'll go back to Columbus Market and get more produce.
My cousin is going to send me a nice picture of Scooby to share with you all. Then you'll be able to see why he was loved so much. She told me she is going to see a lady who has a 3yr old Beagle. She has to find him a home cause her child is allergic to the dog. She said the Beagle's favorite snack is baby carrots. Could you say a prayer that my cousin gets this dog? Her son really wants another dog. Even though her heart is broken losing her Scooby, she would do anything to make her son happy.
Well, I know I have more I wanted to write, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was. I am finding I forget alot of things lately. Old Age? LOL Or maybe the 8 mos of chemo killed my brain cells. Who knows. I better start writing things down huh?
I guess I'd better go now and make the coffee. And when Jim gets up fix his breakfast. I have a busy day today of cooking for him. He deserves it though. He's a hard worker, a great daddy and a loving husband, who would do anything for me or his kids and grandkids.
So give your guys lots of hugs and kisses today and make their day extra special.
LOVE TO YOU ALL....................................

YUMMY! I'll be there this afternoon for dinner. lol We're having a big church dinner and I made a large casserole dish of banana pudding. Deep, filled with banana's and vanilla wafers, been sitting chilling in the fridge all night. Dirk loves it. I absolutely HATE bananas.

I love the way vegetables look, just wish I like their taste more, LOL. I'm growing up and adding more to the list as I get older - far cry from when I was young and only liked corn and potatos! I went shopping too and bought out the fruit market, lol. Sounds like Jim will be very content after dinner! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fathers Day to Jim. Hope you all have a wonderful day. Your dinner sounds lovely. Yummy on all those fresh fruit and veggies. Helen
ReplyDeleteYou're right Jim deserves to be King today. I don't know him, but the love you speak of him in your words I know he has to be a super guy. I know I'd love him to because he takes good care of you and he spoils his children.... that's my kinda guy. I just wish he was an example to so many more guys out there. All the food sounds great today. I'm straving now. That was so sweet of you to invite Joe for dinner also.
ReplyDeleteJohn has talked to the kids for three days now and didn't wanna do anything with them today. So sad. Jay and L.A have to work today anyway. KT and Kyan will be at home waiting on a dryer to be delivered, then she's suppose to go to Anthony's Dads for cookout. All his family is coming to his house. He'd like to have Kyan there, if she can come. Since John has never said he wanted to do anything with HIS kids for Father's Day (he has plans with his bimbo and her kids since he's their new dad you know) she went ahead and made plans to go over there. John will be sorry one day for his decisions I just keep telling myself that.
Sorry about that... but you guys have a marvelous day. I know you will and take plenty of pictures so that we can it with you all too.
Take care and Hugs, Chrissie
sounds like Jim will have an awesome father's day because of you....the food sounds yummie...
ReplyDeleteenjoy your day!!!!!
