The weekend is over – but that’s not sad because there are days ahead leading to another weekend – and for we in the USA, next weekend has an extra day. How was your weekend? What did you do?
Ours included two nights of ballroom, errands, dinner with my father-in-law, dinner with friends, work, (while my wife attended a neighborhood car show).
Act 4 of Meals: The Musical provided bacon, barbecue, beef, burgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, chicken wings, hot dogs, meat, meatballs, pork, pork chops, ribs, steak, t-bone, and turkey while including sides as beans, carrots, mustard greens, and potatoes. Meanwhile, I’m researching the next act’s theme.

It’s a long week-end for us as tomorrow is Victoria Day so I’ll (hopefully) find some time to do the gardening I haven’t done yet!
Lots to celebrate this week! Absolutely love stationery (must keep away from stores that sell the stuff) and it ties in with my oldest pen pal friend…
Biking is always great and it’s impossible to not have dirty dishes ~ especially in this house!
Devil’s Food Cake is one of my specialities
Who doesn’t want a little Eliza Doolittle in their life?
Strawberries and cream? Match made in heaven!
That was rip-roaring fun video to get the week started!

“No Dirty Dishes Day”—Woot woot, I’ll take it!
This weekend I got to see my magician son rock it at his high school talent show. He did great, and the crowd loved him. Apparently magic is no longer geeky, at least not the card tricks he does which on Saturday night involved a knife and a blindfold. It’s a bit odd to hear girl’s call out your son’s name. But I doubt he was complaining…
