Thursday, Thrifty Thursday

 I thought you might want to see a picture of the little leprechaun that visited our house.  Her T-shirt says I'm mommies lucky charm. Her eyes get bluer and her hair gets darker, just like grandma ordered. Hubs really sunburned his face yesterday while he was fishing.

We had a lovely time with our friends and the food was good.  Key lime pie was made with 2 dozen small key limes.  I thought I would never get done juicing them.  You must get about 1/2 teaspoon out of each I swear. But it was delicious.  There are enough left overs for the next two days.  Yippee!  Now that is the luck of the Irish.

We finally had some really good meat sales in the paper this week, so Hubs and I went out and did some stocking up. Our weekly food budget was basically spent on meat and a few loss leaders for the pantry.

 I have not sewn all week and really must get things done today.  But I don't have to cook dinner and the house is very clean.  Hubs is going up to daughters to help with the babies as she is watching Oliver today, so I will have no distractions other than clients. I have many appointments booked for today.

I also have my second covid shot this morning at 8:30.  Yeah!

Have any of you gotten your vaccines yet?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
