Blogidays December 6- very quiet Sunday

Good evening everyone 

We’ve had a very quiet Sunday.

I did an early morning Walmart pickup 

I got the biggest pack of toilet paper I’ve ever seen 

Milk, eggs, produce - my good substitute was I ordered a 5 pound bag of carrots and they substituted 3 2 pound bags of organic carrots 

Sometimes I make a dessert peach halves filled with sweetened cream cheese and chopped pecans.  My granddaughter asked me to make it soon so I ordered canned peaches and she will be happy 

Apparently I wasn’t keeping track when I selected bread.  3 loaves went straight to the freezer.  

A few non edibles including some bananas that won’t be eaten for awhile.  

I’m usually very happy with my pickup produce but bananas, you just never know.  

The Jergens Wetskin lotion really helps my dry skin in the winter.  You put it on after you shower but before you dry off.  It really sinks in fast and be use you don’t rinse it off, it doesn’t leave the shower floor slippery like some other shower lotions I’ve tried.  

We had simple meals today too 

Breakfast was hash brown with onions and bell peppers and an egg on top 

 

Supper was another bowl- rice from yesterday, beans and corn, chicken taco meat left from Friday with sautéed onions and poblano peppers and little queso cheese on top.  

Hope you all had a relaxing Sunday

Blogidays December 5- wreaths, estate sale, a little food and a question

Hello everyone 

Long time readers of this blog may remember by brother makes fresh Christmas wreaths every year.  Here are a few of the ones from the past years 

past wreaths

He delivered 3 to my house yesterday

This is the one on our front door 

These 2 belong to other relatives and have already been sent to their homes

 

Ducky approves of the wreaths.  They smell so good!  

I cook most every night but last night we thought about takeout and then decided to just cook 2 very easy convenience foods 

This morning,  I did a little food prep.  

I made a salad and a small box of sandwich toppings.  I also cooked a big batch of rice as my son requested some so he could make fried rice.  

I cook converted rice in a Zojirushi rice cooker that we’ve had since 1989.  It only cooks rice but we like how it cooks rice where it is not sticky.  

We will have fried rice later this week too.  

This afternoon,  I found out about an estate sale for my aunt’s cousin.  My son and I waited until it was almost over to go.  We wanted to avoid crowds ( and we did) and we neither need much but we knew there was nice stuff there. Everything was half price of the marked price 

For $12.50 I got all these disposable party goods.....

 

This really nice kids puzzle set with 4 puzzles.  The pieces are quite thick and sturdy. .....

  

I worked them all when I got home to see what the puzzles looked like and if all the pieces were included.  

We also got a hard cover book, set of metal coasters that my son will use  under small plant pots and 10 stemmed glasses that will work for desserts or drinks.  (No photos of those 3 items)

And do any of you happen to know the name or brand of this vintage baby doll? 

Have a good weekend everyone 

❤️ Rhonda
