Five good things that happened this week.
1. Spent he Fourth of July watching patriotic movies on TCM. The Music Man and Yankee Doodle Dandy
2. Lazy day. Grilled steak and corn on the cob. Baked potato
3. Appointment in Boston. Hardly any traffic, made good time, and got a parking space
4. Saw a monarch butterfly fluttering among the milkweed
5. Was reminded to take some time for storm prep. The superstition is if you go through all the storm prep, the storm won't be that bad. Besides water buckets, charging devices, drinking water, I even baked bread.
How was your week?
Your bread looks delicious CJ. I might make some today with this grey weather.Hope the trip to Boston went well. I think there wasn't much traffic because everyone is up here vacationing. Not a great week for that. Hopefully the weekend will improve. Hope you don't get too much rain and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWeather dudes said we might see some sun after 2 pm. I hope so. We've had more than our share of rain
DeleteLooks like a good week. I loved your Heather Held style flourish drawing too! Stay dry.
ReplyDeleteYou stay dry, too
DeleteNot as nice as yours ☺
ReplyDeleteFound out my cat, tater tot, has kidney disease. Im very sad about it. On a good note i did allot of research for a book group that im starting. It will be for manhwa (korean manga) and web novels. I hope it will be fun.
Poor Tater Tot. 😿 Cute name. The manhwa group sounds like fun.
DeleteThat bread looks yummy! Now, where's the strawberry jam.....? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo strawberry jam, but I have raspberry
DeleteTake a brolly and it won´t rain.
ReplyDeleteGood: Ingo has three weeks off!
And for in case you (as I admit me) don´t check back on answers to comments...
I wrote:
CJ!!!! In vodka!!! LOL 🤣🤣
I never had vodka in my life - I made sure asking Ingo because once he had some clear alcohol that I tried - it was gin.
BUT he said, "yes, try!"
"I have none!"
"But I do!"
Post to come!
Seriously, there are recipes for Vodka infused Gummibears. Drunken Gummi Bears 😺 Google to find recipes
DeleteI love The Music Man! Your grilled steak meal sounds like a real treat. A monarch butterfly is something I really miss from my childhood when we used to get flocks of them. Congrats on having an attractive habitat :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year in a long time that I've seen monarchs. Hopefully, they will lay their eggs on the milkweed leaves.
Deletewhile I'm not familiar with traffic in or around boston; I'm guessing number 3 might have been just short of a miracle ??!! ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteA miracle, indeed, especially the parking.
DeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteI second that emotion.
DeleteI'm always impressed with anyone who bakes bread. Sounds like u had a busy week.
ReplyDeleteBaking bread is not hard. Simple ingredients but a lot of time
DeleteGrilled steak, corn on the cob, and baked potato? And you didn't even ivite me? LOL! Sounds like a fantastic week! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteApologies, my Lady. Next time.
DeleteYour Independence Day was a lot more enjoyable than mine. I've been watching the weather off and on and I have been worried about you and Erika. From what I've seen, it's a very fast moving storm, at least. It sounds like you were well prepared.
ReplyDeleteFast moving, the winds weren't as high in my area as expected. Though some low areas flooded, thankfully my basement didn't and we didn't lose electricity
DeleteSounds a good week.
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks good :)
All the best Jan
It was yummy!
DeleteBaked bread, yummy!
