Good morning girls! Boy, I don't know how much longer this country can stand this hot weather and no rain. I feel like we live in the desert here. It clouded all up yesterday morning and I was sure it was going to rain, but it just moved on through and by noon it was near 90 again.
Jean: You are such a funny funny lady.....
I felt so guilty that I cleaned at 6 am yesterday morning!
I have floors to mop today and I dread it. It isn't the mopping part, it is the picking everything up off the floor and putting it back down part. It has to be done though and I see the cat and dog have pet food strewn all over the place as usual so I am going to have to get that done. Hope you can find the fabric that is just right for your windows. I enjoy doing that sort of stuff so if I lived close I would help you out!
I am including the picture of the ring. This is actually the picture from where he bought it not the actual ring but it gives you an idea what it looks like. I really love it, though it takes getting used to because of the way the sapphires are set in the ring.
I got the nicest voicemail from our dd last night. I don't know why Jack didn't answer the phone. Her birthday is today and I sent her a silver musical trinket box and had it engraved. She said she didn't think her husband could top that! Bless her heart. It is no nice to have inlaw kids that are easy to get along with. She is a real peach. I can't wait to go up there in Sept and see them. We haven't seen them since last Thanksgiving. With all the medical stuff with Jack this year, we just couldn't get up there. We usually try and go a couple times a year at least.
I had swiss steak and carrots on the menu for last night, but I looked at the recipe before I started it and OOPS, there were mushrooms, a nono, whole tomatos, a nono, and something else that Jack won't eat. I decided to just make my own to I just browned the meat in a little skillet, chopped up some celery and onions and half bag of those baby carrots. I put the meat in the crockpot, then the veggies and in a bowl mixed a can of tomato sauce, a can of ff beef broth and 2 packages of the dryed gravy mix. Whisked it all together and poured it on top and cooked it all day. I then thickened it just a tad for gravy and Jack loved it. The only bad thing is the salt in the gravy mix of course, but I had to improvise and though Jack takes BP meds, he really doesn't have high blood pressure, they just keep him on it because of the heart issues. Once in awhile I guess it doesn't hurt to have a little extra salt.
I took out chicken to thaw yesterday so I am deciding what I want to do with it. Maybe I wil make some dumplings with it.
My new bedding for my bed should be here tomorrow. I am so excited. When we bought the new bed, I bought a bed in a bag and the comforter is way too short. When JC Penney sent out there end of summer sale catalogue I found a 7 piece set that will look nice with our sheets and walls so I ordered it. It was on back order for like 2 weeks or so, but the tracking said it should be delivered tomorrow. It comes with the decorator pillows and everything. I am coming up in the world!
Everyone have a great day and try and stay cool.
