Good morning and Happy Labor Day! Going to be a slow day of rest around here for us also. Nothing planned and we'll wing it as to what we'll be eating.
Speaking of eating, our company yesterday sure continued the tradition of devouring everything in sight! Within minutes 10 blueberry muffins were history. And that was just the start of the eating fest. The chicken cacciatore turned out perfectly. I'm so glad I made a huge pot of sauce with lots of boneless chicken thighs, because they all went back for seconds and thirds. Dinner got topped off with homemade key lime pie and a pumpkin log from Publix. Plus neither of the adults had anything stronger than a coke to drink, so it was no problem for them driving home. They left around 4. so them Bert & I could relax for the rest of the day our on the lanai.
This morning we finished off those remaining 2 blueberry muffins for breakfast. Tonight's menu will be a simple one - hamburgers, Suddenly Salad and corn on the cob. I told Bert this is my version of a Labor Day BBQ at the Old Folks Home!! LOL
Dave - Can't blame you not wanting that unruly mob to descend on your place. What's the age range of the kids? They've got to cover quite a few years at this point.
Karen - So glad you're enjoying all these new experiences at your new church. You sure must be getting to meet a lot of new people too. Just don't offer to go pull weeds out of their yards. You do enough of that in your own subdivision!!
Kathie - Home grown potatoes are so good. We did that one year in Ocala. We also tried sweet potatoes which would have worked well, except every time the greens started to grow, the rabbits would come along and eat it all. The rabbits did the same thing when we tried to grow peanuts. Not a fan of bunnies like we used to be.
Lee - Glad you and Lu-Ann got out early enough for your Navy Yard walk before it got too hot. Your weather sounds warmer than ours. Right now it's a comfortable 84 out there without too much humidity.
Nancy - I saw that story about the flamingos on the news the other night. Actually, I thought it was pretty cool and wondered if it had ever happened before, but not many people knew about it.
Bill - One of my meds, Jardiance, is also on the list of meds to get the price reduced. Too bad it's going to take that long before we know if big pharma will even abide by the reduced profits.
Bert doesn't mind that Lee Child's brother has taken over. He's read a few of Andrew's books.
I think I've earned another cup of coffee this morning while I contemplate how to spend the day relaxing. Whatever you're doing today, make sure you have some fun too!
