What I'm reading... Apron Strings by Mary Morony. It's about seven year old Sallee who is wary of the adults in her Southern World. I've just started it so I haven't really formed an opinion about it.
What's happening in my kitchen... Hubby made poached eggs on English muffins for breakfast. I love poached eggs but I don't make them for some reason... they were perfectly cooked and delicious. We are trying to eat up the leftovers in the refirgerator. We had meatloaf sandwiches for lunch and we'll have leftover pizza for dinner. The muffins and cookies that I made last week are almost gone.
What's outside my window... Today started out bright and sunny but now it is what the weatherman would call "partly sunny". That means that the sun is playing hide and seek with the clouds! We got eight inches of snow between Friday and Saturday, but it is fifty two here right now and everything is melting pretty fast. Maybe spring is finally here!
What I'm thankful for... that our grandson, Cooper is feeling better. He has had a couple of bouts of the flu and it has really taken a toll on him. But his mom tells me he is on the mend and feeling much better today.
What I'm smelling... birthday flowers from my son and his family. I just love fresh flowers, don't you?
What I'm hearing... it's the first day of baseball season! We are listening and watching the Yankees play the Rays. And guess what? It's so warm today that the ever present fan is turned OFF! Woo hoo!
What I'm crafting... I just finished a scarf to go with a pair of boot toppers I crocheted. One of the toppers didn't look right to me so I ripped it out and am starting over. This week I will make a Curious George pillowcase for our youngest grandson's birthday.
What's on my mind... two things. I was called for jury duty and it starts next week. I have absolutely no desire to serve on a jury. Also, my last post-op appointment is on Wednesday. I will be skipping jury duty that day if I am called to serve. I was told that I could postpone my jury duty but I don't want to do that because I'm afraid that the "make-up" time will interfere with our trip to Virginia for our grandson and son in law's birthdays, or one of our planned camping trips this summer. I was told, when I called the head of jurors, that they would not prevent me from going to my appointment (they won't because if called for that day I don't intend to go), that I wouldn't be penalized for going to my appointment, but that she couldn't formally excuse me and tell me it was okay to go. Kind of mixed messages there, so it does worry me. Hopefully, Wednesday will not be my day to go and all the worries are for nothing.
Words to live by...
I hope you all have a wonderful, stress-free week!
Thanks for dropping by....
