My sister is up to her usual shinanagans with that silly camera of hers (by the way her camera doesn't take the best photos...my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!). She thought I should post this tonight...and to think it is really "only" day one of her two week stay!!!! What will I feel like when she leaves!?!? Today we started the morning on the front porch...Cheryl with her coffee and I with my tea...but wait not long into the morning, my tea turned into coffee-tea when she picked up the wrong cup! (Insert eye roll!) We have made our first required WalMart trip. We both needed some toiletry items and then we headed for the deli meat...for sub sandwiches which I bought small sub rolls and fixin's for yesterday. Yummy sandwiches especially with Melany and Wades home grown tomatoes...so a good lunch. My main job in the kitchen today was to make Mother's recipe for Boston Baked Beans. We will have that meal tomorrow...after my mail comes...I ordered Boston Brown Bread...can't find it in our stores here and that bread was a tradition when Mother made Baked Beans...for those who don't know about this bread it is a sweet bread that comes in a can. Mmmmm. Thank you, Amazon, for having this treat to make our meal complete!!! We have taste tested the beans and they are just right...just the right softness, just the right sweetness...just right! We have decided that our comfort food is food that our mother made...not usually traditional foods that are thought of as comfort food by many. The next kitchen task was to begin preparation to make a 24-Hour layered salad...again, a recipe Mother shared with me years ago...which is now a family favorite...today I cooked and peeled the hard cooked eggs. I'm trying to not get buried in the kitchen! So far I am succeeding. The photo came this afternoon when I had a sinking spell...dozed for a few minutes. This evening we went out to water, but decided that the little thunder storm we had today had wet the ground enough and we would wait till in the morning to water...Alexa just told me it may rain off and on tomorrow...so might not have to water tomorrow...we will see. We also started clearing off the patio that holds my herb garden...it hadn't gotten any attention this year so we dragged pots around and threw away some old pots...a start has been made to make it look better. Now we are inside...deciding what our end of the day meal will be...maybe a bowl of ice cream!?! Our lunch was pretty late and we haven't been hungry yet for supper...we are thinking a snacky supper...or a dessert supper...or...To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
