T Stands for Breakfast for Lunch

 

On our way out to lunch, Teague asked me where I wanted to go. She said she recently had pizza so she didn't want to go out for pizza. I recently had a hamburger, and didn't want to go out for subs (grinder, hero). Where to go?

Teague had been talking how she had pancakes so I decided we should go to  Lowell's in Mendon. The menu has lots of choices sandwiches, entrees, and they serve breakfast all day.

So I ordered Two French Toast with Two Scrambled Eggs with a side of bacon. I had a cup of hot tea with a splash of milk and one sugar packet.

with an assist from Godzilla are creating a worksheet for students to create snowflakes. (As if we aren't getting enough snowflakes this weekend) The purpose of the exercise is to show students how the pen can be manipulated to make different kinds of marks and shapes.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

A bunny came out to warm him or herself under the basement air circulator.

Ugh!

Warm temperatures Thursday caused glacier to slide off the solar panels. The temperature plummeted so the glacier is frozen.

The snow at the beginning of last week was light and fluffy. Himself took (the) Boat Anchor Samwise for a test run to see if he could plow through the snow. Here he is after plowing a path to the birdfedder on his way to the heating oil outlet. Way to go, Samwise! I'm not sure Samwise will be able to handle the 18 - 24 inches of snow predicted for my area with the big storm that has been sweeping the country set to arrive later on today.

Saturday started off with a balmy 0 degree F. Only 146 days until the Summer Solstice.

The Friday Five Good Things

 

Five good things that happened this week.

1. I enjoyed the first class of  Lindsay Ostrams' The Empty Page class

2. I have followed Dark Winds off and on. Himself was up to the episode where Robert Redford made a cameo. It was the last time Redford made an appearance as an actor on screen. I watched and now I'm hooked on the rest of the series

3. I got the camera working and with the Young One's help set up for class

4. I had a really fun chat with the Young One. She makes me laugh

5. Teague and I went to a favorite lunch spot where I had breakfast for lunch.

How was your week?

TBT Reprints from CJ's Whine and Cheeze

  In 2003, Ma had a stroke. Dad was her full time caregiver until he he had a car accident that totaled the car. So in 2006, I became their chauffeur among other jobs.

At the time, to deal with the stress of running two households and working, I kept a blog entitled CJ's Whine and Cheeze. Egged on by some friends who enjoyed the first read through, you'll see your part when it comes by.

Minutes from The Ladies' Sodality July 3rd Meeting

The younger parishioners of Our Lady of the Perpetually Clueless got together at the North Parish Hall for a night of fellowship and fireworks.

The Brother cooked hamburgers, hotdogs, sausage, on the grill to perfection. Macaroni salad, baked beans, tossed salad, chips, salsa, fruit salad, cookies and soda. Supper was eaten al fresco. As always, the Sister-In-Law was the perfect hostess.

The evening’s entertainment was provided by the city, a spectacular fireworks display. The North Parish Hall is on a hill so we had the perfect spot for viewing, sheltered under the gazebo away from the bugs. 🎆

After the fireworks display, the Ladies’ Sodality met in the kitchen for an emergency meeting to discuss whether or not to make a pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Perpetually Clueless to pay obeisance to the Weebles and their long marriage on the Fourth of July, 64 years of marital bond…er bliss. The Knights of Kyrie Eleison joined the meeting. There was some discussion as to whether this was a Holy Day or a High Holy Day.

The gist of the discussion was that if a celebration wasn’t held, there’d be Hell to pay, and if a celebration was held, there’d be Hell to pay. It was rather like a pork roast, the one who was not going to have any fun was the pork. 🐷

The Ladies’ Sodality bent under the pressure and decided a pilgrimage with coffee and cake would be the best way to save the bacon. The pilgrimage would begin from the North and South parish halls. Parishioners would arrive at 2pm at the Cathedral. The North parishioners would supply the coffee, and the South parishioners would supply the cake. The Weebles could be counted on to provide the fireworks.

The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Doodling for Stress Reduction

 

On Mondays via Zoom, I participate in a class where we spend  a half an hour doodling our stress away. 

The prompt for this doodle was to draw random shapes, fill them in with flowers (leaves, feathers) and then color in the space around the petals.
