Let’s start with Friday. My daughter and I hit the garage sales. Sales are winding down, no bargains. I did find a couple of books. Friday night I went to Texas Roadhouse with my daughter and SIL. I love that place, peanuts in a bucket on your table and hot homemade rolls with honey cinnamon butter. Marcia and I had the chicken fritters, baked potato and salad. My baked potato was loaded up about 2 inches on top of the potato. Mike had a 12 ounce steak which he said was really tender. Our waiter’s name was Brian. He was excellent and he was tipped accordingly. We each brought fritters home. They run a close race with the chicken tenders from Cheddars. No Cheddars around here, sad to say.
Saturday I went to a church sale. It was a really good one, lots of crafts and many other items. I purchased a couple of Christmas gifts and some other items. It was fun!
Sunday, I cooked a pan of fresh tomatoes for the freezer. I will use them for soup or sauce later on. And even though I had chicken two days in a row, I had some chicken unthawed so I fixed chicken and noodles (frozen egg kind). And that pretty much sums up my weekend. Nothing much to write home about.
I am so thankful that Hurricane Irene was not as bad as predicted. However there were lives lost and much property damage and I am so sorry for that.
Well, it is back to another week that includes such mundane things as laundry and cleaning, I have errands to run too so I guess I had better get myself moving. I hope you all have a good week. Stay safe and be happy!!
That was a nice weekend Beth. Good food and best of all the best company. I agree about being glad the hurricane wasn't any worse that it could have been and prayers for the families that lost loved ones.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time. I still haven't had many tomatoes this summer. Sad really because they just taste so darn good. No sales much here I fear our big season is over for this year. So many got rained out it wasn't funny. Hope you have a great week Sis!! : )
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice weekend and wishes for a blessed week ahead. I'm looking forward to our yard sale here at the complex.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful Irene wasn't as bad as predicted. Sorry too for the loss of life.
I'm with you about Irene. I don't know what blew harder: the wind of the hurricane or the reporters licking their lips for a far greater disaster. Things will pick up a lot for me once Labor Day rolls along with the kids starting school....I'm about as involved as a parent can get with my kids education. The hot weather gives way to more normal stuff come Thursday...I'm dreading winter in a big way this year.
ReplyDeleteBlessings....
ReplyDeletewoooo, sounds like a worldwin of fun fun fun.....
How's the weather treating you there?
You did have a good weekend. Wish I had been along. That sort of activity has become interesting in the past 5 years. It's even more fun if there is someone along.

OH I LOVE JOE's remark!!!
ReplyDeleteHi from ME
ReplyDeleteA church sale? Now where are you going to put a church?
ReplyDeleteWe lucked out up here and just had a nasty rainstorm, but you already know that.
I went to the Texas roadhouse once. The food was good but it was just too noisy for me.
@ for Paul. I know you didn't like listening to willie sing while you were trying to eat.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are well and the storm has passed Beth. I love tomatoe soup and bacon goes down anytime yummy. Have a lovely week , I have a pile of ironing beckoning me yak! Hugs Sheila and Wile-e :)
ReplyDeleteSounds overall like a great weekend!! I've been doing chicken a lot, it was on sale and Rick is fed up with chicken .. lol
ReplyDeleteHope you were able to get out and get your shopping done :). Glad you weren't hit hard, my heart and prayers go out to those that were hit hard.
I love your blog...it make's me think of memorie's gone by and so close to my heart. Thank you for being you Beth.
ReplyDeleteLove,Debbie:)
Ok here in PA. Lost an old and favorite willow tree. Cleanup will be a bit but all in all we're fine. Will vacate in a few days and stay away until November, then back for the winter. Photos will come then. Be well.
ReplyDeleteI wish my tomatoes would ripen enough to pick |Beth, I had five plants this year, one had no fruit at all and three are still green one has yielded four toms. Huh!, I too am glad for you Americans that Irene wasn't as nasty as predicted, but definitely bad enough, bitch!
