Another Mustard(oop! I mean Catch up)!
Brother Dan left Wednesday afternoon for Grayling, Gaylord, and Traverse City, Michigan.
We had a couple of days alone then on Saturday Cindy, Les, Courtney, and Anne joined us for dinner. Nothing special --just oven fried chicken, herb and butter mashed potatoes, fried zucchini and an Asian salad mix. Les tweak the new computer because it had developed a couple of problems. But it is all better now. While they were here they gave Jay a new cookbook for Father’s day.
The picture taking left Jay, Anne, and I out but next time we will make up for it.
Les and family left for a graduation party and Cindy stayed on giving pedicures to Jay and I. This was her Father’s day gift and I benefited from it too. A luxury we seldom have.
Today we are going over to Meijers for some Fels Naptha. Jay’s Green Gage Plum has Leaf Rollers and his research on the net turned up the soap in a solution as a cure.
Tomorrow I’ll pick up the Michigan Strawberries so we can start the strawberry and strawberry/rhubarb jam on Tuesday morning. This will be the first of the jam making for this year.
There will be no rain until Tuesday according to the forecast but then four days of it are expected. I certainly hope so because dragging 100 feet of hose around ain’t fun. At the old house we had in ground sprinklers but we also had a lawn not a yard.
I have to tell you about the meatloaf I made last Tuesday. Four lbs. of ground chuck so I needed two baking dishes. Then Tuesday night we decided to take Dan and Peg out for pan fried Walleye. So one loaf went into the fridge and the other into the freezer. We ate meatloaf for lunch and dinner through Friday night to finish it. The frozen one went home with Cindy yesterday. I love meatloaf but enough is enouh all ready!!!
Right now Jay is watching his car shows, Brandy is asleep on the couch beside him, and Spirit is talking up a storm in his cage. I can’t always make out what he says but it has to be funny because he laughs about it!
Hope your weekend was good and that you have only pleasant things to do next week. We will visit again soon. ( that’s a threat or a promise depending on how you look at it. [I’m smiling guys])!
