SIX!

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

[Ron Pulliam]

I attempted to post this morning when we were on page 3.  I had written quite a bit, and then for some reason it was all gone.

Ratz! 

[Ron Pulliam]

It has been a heck of a week.  My sinus congestion regimen of steroid sprays, an antibiotic and nasal rinses have paid some happy dividends as things seem to be clearing up a bit.

I hope I do not become lax in my endeavors to breathe freely and often.

The rest of the week seems a blur.  How can we be eight full days into April?

[Ron Pulliam]

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday for those of us who observe it.

I shall be having lunch at the country club with my cousin Butch and his fiancee Sharon.

I thought about attending a sunrise service.  It's the "sunrise" part that gets to me.  And the service begins at 7 a.m.

I should be able to get up and attend, but....

[Ron Pulliam]

It has rained and rained and rained for the past two days.  It actually started Friday afternoon.  It temporarily halted play at the Masters tournament in Augusta (25 miles away).  A few pine trees fell and scared the bejiggers out of some patrons.  No one was hurt, however.

Today was a washout or should have been. I haven't checked the news.  We had gully washers throughout today, and I fear if the ground gets any more saturated, we shall all be awash in minor flooding.

[Ron Pulliam]

I am craving fresh vegetables lately.  Tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and the like.  Strawberries are at their peak.

[Ron Pulliam]

An early Happy April 9th to all!

Minnesota defeated the San Antonio Spurs!  And Luka Garza got to play the last six minutes.

Is that golf?

[John G.]

Home from dancing. Tired.

Watching the start of Trade Winds, a romantic drama with a great cast: Frederic March, Joan Bennett, Ralph Bellamy, Ann Southern, Thomas Mitchell and more. Dorothy Parker and hubby Alan Campbell. They gave Ann Southern some of the best lines.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[Jane]

It is already Easter here.

I made a meat loaf yesterday, so I am enjoying some meatloaf sandwiches today.....and tomorrow.

OH!  Okay, leaving now. Keep them warm.

I am just about to take a meatloaf out of the oven now….with roasted potatoes that cooked with the meatloaf

Chas did you get lost?

[vixmom]

I relented and attempted Lidl around 4 pm

[vixmom]

Mercifully the crowds had departed and I picked up 2 half gallons of vanilla ice cream and using s3lf check on us wasin and out of the store in under 10 minutes

[vixmom]

Then I went to Mom’s and left the two ice creams in her freezer

[vixmom]

And the two hams in her fridge

[vixmom]

Then I went to church to put a few finishing touches on things for tomorrow

[vixmom]

Then home again home again jiggity jig

[vixmom]

Whereupon I made the aforementioned meatloaf and taters

[vixmom]

I put 15 large sweet potatoes in the oven to roast while we were eating dinner

[vixmom]

They are all now peeled and in a big stainless bowl with chicken stock, butter and brown sugar and in the oven. I’ll give them a nice purée in the morning

[vixmom]

I also trimmed 3 lbs of asparagus and seasoned wit with lemon, olive oil and a little Penzeys roasted garlic and let that cook a bit in the oven

[vixmom]

It can just get reheated tomorrow while the ham rests before carving

[vixmom]

Currently the baby carrots are in the oven with butter and brown sugar

[vixmom]

I’m short cutting on the peas and corn

[vixmom]

I’m just going with canned

[vixmom]

I’ll steam the new potatoes tomorrow at Moms

[vixmom]
