… or should I say Fri-YAY?!!! Ah, so glad the weekend is upon us. So, you see the photo of this light pink zinnia here? Well, at the beginning of the summer I found a random pack of zinnia seeds and just scattered them in my front garden, not expecting a thing because they were a couple years old. But this pretty little thing has appeared! It was a cheerful surprise when I noticed it the other day.
This week was my MIL’s 80th birthday. We celebrated with a party last Saturday. She was so happy that so many friends & relatives were able to come — it was really lovely. The food was amazing, too! There was a bountiful brunch buffet that included delicious things like baked scrambled eggs, French toast with fresh fruit (hands-down the best French toast I’ve ever eaten), roasted potatoes, veggies (asparagus, carrots, zucchini), carved roast beef, carved turkey breast with a delicious cranberry sauce, and there were a few other things I’m forgetting. Such a nice afternoon.
Other than that it’s been a pretty typical week. Work, shopping, appointments, etc. This morning I took Jake to the dentist and he was devastated to learn that he has a cavity. I told him that he made it nearly 22 years cavity-free, so it was bound to happen sooner or later!
It’s rainy and windy as I write this — Hurricane (Tropical Storm?) Debby is making its way through the Hudson Valley. In fact, we’re actually under a tornado watch until 10 PM. Yikes! Luckily tomorrow’s weather is sounding much better and I’m very happy about that because I am driving Laura two hours away to sleepaway camp.
Guess that’s about it for now! Have a great weekend!
Hello! How about that beautiful flower? Happy Birthday to your Mother-in-Law! I love French Toast! I wonder what made yours so good?? And a cavity. I am still waiting for our first! We are still cavity-free! For now! Have a cozy Sunday, my friend.
