THURSDAY

-
They say memory is the first thing to go and I'm starting to believe it. 
It's Thursday night and I'm having difficulty remembering what I did this week.
Monday and Tuesday were filled with Asher that's true but ...what else? Wednesday I think I spent recovering from Asher time!! lol
Today is clear enough...as it should be. 
I went out for breakfast with two dear friends at a restaurant called Real Food. It's local and it's good.  It's open for breakfast and lunch.  When the three of us go out, we always talk more than we eat.  We always say we should meet more often and we should but life in retirement gets busy...too busy.
After that I went to our store and decided to do some much-needed cleaning. Employees do as little as possible. 
Then I went and did my regular 3 hour volunteer at New2You! I am a cashier there and today it was busy!  
I got home tonight...bone tired. I fell asleep watching TV and feel like I am turning into my mother except she never had trouble going to bed after her naps in front of the TV. 
Now I'm up and wide awake. My sleeping habits are not very good but I don't plan it that way.
Two of my other friends went to the Trump rally that was held here in town today.  Half of downtown was closed off because of it. It started at 7 but doors opened at 4 and I heard that many people were there much earlier...the line went around the arena. I watched some of it on TV when I got home. President Trump spoke for an hour and a half.  I wonder what my friends will have to say about their experience.
While all this was going on today...Arie decided to buy a new (to us) vehicle and trade in the Kia Soul.  It is a 2016 Kia Sorento that has only 35.000 miles on it. Looking forward to an automatic!

Challenges!

Challenges! My youngest daughter loves challenges. Every once in awhile she publishes a challenge on her blog http://sewdutchsisters.blogspot.com/  that usually involves digging into ones endless stash in the craft room. She encourages others to join but I think what it does is really gets her motivated. She currently has 10 challenges ( 1 per week) listed on her blog.  Well, it helped me get into the spirit of things as well. I had a pattern for a robe in my stash. I have always wanted a robe that was not too bulky like the old terry-towel ones of years gone by but not too thin that  it would only be good for summer weather. Every year before and after Christmas I go robe shopping and have never been able to find one that I liked enough to spend money on not to mention the fact that lately the only ones available are made from velour or other synthetic fibers...which ALWAYS give static electric shocks.  So I went to the fabric store....

Blogging from the phone...who knew?

I just learned that it is possible to post to my blog from my phone. My son who needed help today to set up his blog told me. Perhaps this will make me a more faithful blogger, who knows.  For now I'll just practice.  Can I post a picture? New Year's Eve main dish: stuffed shells. They were delicious! We had a party as per usual. Every year I try to challenge our friends in some or another culinary way. Last year each couple was given a country, asked to do a bit if research and prepare an appetizer or dessert from that country.  We enjoyed some wonderful food that we would have never tried on our own.  This year we did a modified version of the TV  show Chopped! The instructions were simple: pick three ingredients from the list of nine and concoct an appetizer, side,salad or dessert on an Italian theme. We had some lovely appetizers and a side/salad. One couple brought a main dish that while  it included the three ingredients it was as far...

Wednesday Lunch again!

We found a new restaurant to try called The Stray... a music and arts café. It used to be a century-old auto repair shop but you'd never know it!. It's a relaxing venue offering great coffee options, fresh food and local beers. The lunch time that we were there, there were many different ages represented  but none our age- definitely a younger crowd. There were beautiful plants all around and lots of local art displayed on all sides. The menu is varied but not overwhelming! We had some very good food!     Dreamy Italian- salami, honey-ham, bacon, cream cheese  banana peppers, dill pickle, tomato and lots of VERY fresh greens wrapped in a Spinach tortilla.  (I'm going to try this at home)  Farmer's wife- chicken, bacon avocado spread, goat cheese sprinkles, herbs and apple slices on wheat-berry bread. (R was not too sure about the bread). A grapefruit forward beer was just ok! Rooibos tea-- delicious! I'd like to go back on a weekend to disc...
