A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A SUNDAY.
With the wind slightly blowing, it's about 62 degrees outside. Off on a walk I shall go. Afterwards, I'll cool off and cleanup. I won't have to fix LUNCH today as my Husband and Son will get a steak and I'll stay HOME for some quiet time. Our Son has been helping us by rebuilding the Cottage's stone foundation under the front porch.
Hubby told him that when this was finished they'd get a steak. No complaints. The rest of the rebuild of the porch might start this week. That would be amazing. They have worked incredibly hard on this project. Hubby was under the front part of the house yesterday crawling around working on foundational stuff. This in itself is hard work for a 70 year old guy.
Having our Son HOME to help with this project is a GOD SEND. SO very THANKFUL.
I had to go shopping yesterday to get a POT ROAST for Monday and a few other goodies. I stopped off at the THRIFT STORE in Wamego looking for discounted bluejeans and walked out with a $5 pair of black MARY JANE shoes for myself. When purchased new the Mary Jane's go for between $69 to $130. These are really cute, look brand new and very comfortable that I will wear on dressier days. No jeans for me. I purchased a canvas shopping bag, the shoes and a 2.5 pound hand weight. Enjoying THRIFT SHOPPES.
Filled the car with fuel. Dropped the mail off. Ran the car through the car wash. Stopped off at the Hardware store to look for leather work gloves. Drove over to Manhattan's Menards for gloves. Stopped by Walmarts for a Pot Roast, Arizona Tea, an onion, potatoes, bluejeans. Buzzed into the Dollar General. Drove HOME. Unloaded the spoils and rested before fixing Chicken Salad Sandwiches for Supper. Had chips and salsa. Figured the salsa was a good vegetable to have.
The Chicken Salad turned out super good. Proud of myself. I started off with a bowl to add salt, pepper and about 1/4th cup of sugar in. Added 2 cans of drained chicken to the spices which I blended well the ingredients together making sure the chicken was well shredded. About 1/2 a cup of mayo was added and mixed in well. Then a handful of sliced red seedless grapes and slivered almonds were added. Spread some of the mixture on sour dough bread and called it good. Yummers. No complaints for a sandwich. I didn't have any celery to add. I usually add slices of celery and water cress for crunch, but hey I didn't miss it. 🥪
Watched late night MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and went to bed. Way busier than I like. Lots of background music and so many gunshots. Action packed.
PLANS FOR THE WEEK. A broken record repeats. I'll work on the front bedroom and exercise. Tadahhh. May all go well. I've been at it again doing mental gymnastics thinking about how to go about making sense on the shuffling in the front bedroom. I pray to be successful and hope I never have to do this much shuffling again. Evah.
AS FOR SPIRITUAL SUNDAY.
FOOD. Getting ready to prepare the Pot Roast to soak in coffee overnight. I won't be adding garlic cloves. An old Heloise TRICK for making pot roast taste better. The overnight soak adds extra flavor to cheaper cuts of meat. After looking at the prices of meat at the store, I am convinced that prices have sky rocketed. Kind of scary. I think I had better shop around to see if I can get a side of beef from a local farmer that grass feeds their cattle. There will be a waiting list so I best get on it.
Overall a very good day for me.
