Another Tuesday

Well, in six minutes it will be a week since my last post. From what I can remember I was busy with physical therapy (now just continuing exercises on my own), working in the charity office, and lots of cooking. 

My divorced son picks his boys up in our town two nights a week. And now that spring has sprung, they have sports practices in my town and he doesn't have time to take them to his house and back in time for practice. So two nights a week they are coming here for dinner before practice. And since that is the same time my daughter picks up her two after school, we are now hosting dinner for nine every Tuesday and Thursday.  Last Thursday was spaghetti pie and tomorrow is baked chicken.  I love to cook and I especially love it when my kids and grandkids come for meals.

I have a special thank you for my friend Betsy from The Simple Life of a Queen who promoted this wonderful can holder for my trumpcession pantry. Luckily my grandson brought his tools to help assemble it. 

How is the bathroom remodeling project coming? Well, slow. But then we are old and slow so I think we are right on track. He did remove the rest of the wall tile and put up some temporary drywall. Here is a glimpse of the mirror. 

And here we are deciding placement over the cabinet (which is in my guest room). 

And here we are marking the bathroom wall so that he can make a cutout for the inset mirror cabinet. We can't remember if we had a mirror that was inset in the past . . . So we may find a surprise. 

Note, it will be higher. I am not sure how short he thinks I am as he kept asking are you going to be able to see to do your makeup? Or maybe he was insinuating that I need to wear makeup? Anyway. 

Our sneaky state government has restored the name of the fund that funds libraries in our state, but not the funding. See what I mean about sneaky?  So we are protesting on the sidewalk across the street this coming Saturday from 10am-noon. My signs are ready! And I will be home in time to make my Easter dishes. 

My lovely daughter is hosting Easter and I am bringing some of our favorite dishes.  Way back in the olden days, maybe the late 80's?, I think Family Circle had a suggested Easter Menu with a timeline so you could fix and ready dishes ahead.  I lost my original copy, found one on Ebay and then found mine so I have a backup. The original menu was lamb (we substitute ham) along with Lemon Honey Cornish Hens, a Red Potato and Spinach casserole, Cream of Asparagus soup and a dessert I can't remember.  I will be bringing my ham, hens, potatoes and the soup which is my favorite to the meal.  I also purchased chocolate marshmallow eggs for my deviled egg plates. 

Facebook claimed it was siblings day recently so I posted this. It was the beginning and end of my career as a dancer.
