BEDA #28

Sorry about the gap in posts- we’ve had some busy days and this week looks to have a few busy days too. Anyway today,  I show some of the things we’ve been up to 

It’s baseball season here and 4 of the grandsons are playing on different age kid teams. 

It was so much fun seeing 2 of the grandsons play each other this week.  

 

And “Just yesterday” they looked like the photo on the right.  

Last week I did a grocery pickup - here is the pantry and fridge stuff,  the frozen things were already put  away 

The watermelon was a dud and the 3 boxes of honey buns are for my 89 year old dad.

This weekend,  we had a 5 cousin sleepover.  

For us,  having the Covid vaccines and having very low Covid rates in our state has meant we can go back to more normal lives and it’s wonderful! 

Then on Sunday morning, my parents and brother joined us for breakfast 

I didn’t get a photo of everyone at the same time but there were 11 here and we all ate at this big table.  

I served  a big breakfast and everyone enjoyed it.  The only leftover leftovers were a couple of biscuits and sausage patties. 

When I cook for a group with 5 grands buzzing around the kitchen - I take advantage of easy to prepare things, 

They are not the thriftiest options but they all cook up quickly and taste very good. 

I did a little sewing last week- 4 quirky potholders and I have more cut out to sew. 

Our son has been cooking competitively and cooked this weekend in a steak cook off up north.

He won 1st in Steak and 1st and 2nd in Boozy drinks 😳

Aren’t those crazy and way over the top? 

Well- I need to be working on my to-do list right now. 

Hope you’re all having a wondertful Monday 

Bye from Windy Oklahoma  💨

Hello everyone 

The cold weather did no damage to our plants, as far as I can tell 

Lots of promising buds on the strawberry plants 

And on the blackberry bushes 

And on the peonies 

The worst part was folding up all the assorted sheets and dropcloths that we use to cover plants from cold weather 

 (because my husband seems to plant too early every year) 

No, we didn’t steal these milk crates.   Way back when I cooked at a fraternity house, the milk was delivered and left in these crates.  

The 100 or so frat boys went through a lot of milk and the milkman delivered the milk but he refused to pick up the empty crates.  

The milk crates stacked up so I eventually told the boys to take crates as they wanted and I brought some crates  home.  

Crazy I know but it’s a true story.  

I baked the cookie dough from yesterday and bagged them up for Physical Therapists.

  Because of Covid,  I bagged them all individually and then into another bag.  

With the rest of the dough,  I made cookie balls and froze them on a tray so they won’t stick together when I put them in a storage bag.

Now I can easily bake some cookies - my grandchildren love fresh cookies 🍪❤️

I’m reading a funny book - 

The Mystery Sisters Volume 1

It’s a cozy mystery about 4 senior citizen sisters.   It’s not deep or fine literature but it is entertaining.  


Good evening everyone
