Those Were The Days!
Another sunshiny day. The paper says 49 today. Yesterday I was out in shirt sleeves all day. I always remember November as being cold enough for a heavy coat with the exception of November 11, 1972. That day I was in North Carolina burying the children’s father. His wish was to go home as he put it. I stood outside during the ceremony in a light sweater, there were no coats in sight. I couldn’t get over the weather. Well yesterday reminded me of that time.
Jay is down to two dialysis a week so yesterday we went to get his hair cut and stopped at Oliver T’s, a gourmet shop, on the way home. Knowing my hubby’s passion for creating good things to eat, when I spotted this I had to ask if he wanted it.
This is by Nordic Ware and there was even a scone mix packed with it. So now we can make perfect size scones when ever we want.
We also had lunch while we were there, sharing a sandwich of roast pork with orange/cranberry chutney on sourdough rye bread--grilled. Yum, Yum!
The best part --it was only $5.95 and was big enough to share. These little outing are our entertainment!
Waking up at 8:30 am is becoming a habit. Not a bad one except Jay likes to stay up until midnight and I have to ask him to take his blood pressure and sugar tests so I can record them and fix his insulin if needed before I go to bed. So consequently some afternoons a feeling of siesta time hits me between the eyes and I steal away to that quiet bedroom for a quickie! I remember when it was another kind of quickie but I was not in my 70’s then. Those were the days!
