Wednesday, Crappy adds, another rattlesnake

 Look at these beautiful, weird flowers.  I call them Dr. Suess flowers.  They last forever, picked them at Lil sis's she does not know what they are either. Oh, no!  You are seeing a doily at my house; I am so out of style..... Also the viola score to Cinderella.

Grocery adds are crap.  I mean real crap!  Thank goodness for a freezer and a storage.  I will not pay $1.29 for chicken, at least not yet.  I might be killing a chicken.

Took elderly neighbor to food bank late yesterday and came home with, two quarts of fresh blue berries, large carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, asparagus, boboli pizza crusts.  I have never tried those, but as they were going to toss them, I took them. I figured the grandkids would love to make their own pizzas.  Also, gallon of milk, three gallons of apple juice, some dried prunes, large bag of fish sticks.  Again, the grandkids will love these. Also, a large bag of mild shredded cheese. Two large bags of apples, which I will peel, slice and freeze for pies, those that we don't eat. So well worth the drive and gas to help the neighbor who does not drive anymore. Well that sounded bad, I would take her regardless even if I did not reap any benefits.

While at Lil sis's last night Hub's sent me a picture of a snake in our yard he had killed.  Great!

He had just been reading, sitting in the red chair.  He often reads out there out of the sun. After doing a perimeter check he found the hole dug under the snake fence where the critter got in and he plugged it.  He could see the snakes tracks in the dirt before it got to the river rock.

Now the grandsons that are due in next week are so excited.  I told hubs we have to make sure they don't go looking for snakes.

Sluggy, quit worrying they will just kiss your toes when you are out sitting in a lawn chair. I'm telling you guys Slug's is kind of a baby about snakes.

I have to steam today and not out my ears.  I spend a great deal of time ironing and steaming gowns.  It is part of my service, and I am not fond of this part. I have two large ball gowns to steam and three dresses. I would rather be sewing. In fact, if I could pay someone to do the steaming I would.

We just got back from Hub's consult, and he has to have surgery.  So we should be meeting with the surgeon within the month.  We feel good about this.  We could do radiation, and that might be a better option with Hubs dementia issues, but once radiation is done and the cancer comes back it is not an option and can lead to not good results. As hubs has an older brother and an Uncle that had a real hard time with this, we just feel this is the best route.

Well, I am off to get some steaming done and some sewing. I cooked up a large bag of pollock yesterday and there is plenty left for dinner along with salad from the garden. SO I don't have to cook.

By the way I was supposed to have the kids last night and all day today, but daughter decided I was too busy and gave me a reprieve. Thank my lucky stars. She wanted me to pick up the kids after I went to the food bank yesterday and I said no as I was so behind, and she would have to bring them down in the evening. I rarely say no so she knew I was overwhelmed.

Okay I swear I am going to get at least two dresses done, and at least two out today if it kills me.

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