Hello, friends! Thought I’d just drop a few notes here on my blog. I didn’t take any photos, but we had family over on Saturday to celebrate my oldest’s college graduation and all three summer birthdays. The weather was perfect! We all were relieved after it’s been so hot and humid here.
I kept the menu pretty simple: grilled London Broil, fried chicken (from the grocery store deli), marinated pasta salad (a dish I used to make all the time years ago — I just recently found the recipe!), creamy cucumber salad, and baked beans (courtesy of my mother-in-law). Dessert was lemon bundt cake and tiramisu. I had taken Friday off, which made my life much easier in terms of cleaning the house and prepping dishes. It was nice to see everyone and I think a good time was had by all.
Yesterday we went to the movies to see Longlegs, which was pretty good. I definitely enjoyed it, but I think they gave some important points away too early. There were also a couple scenes that just didn’t seem to fit in. I don’t know… I’ll have to watch it again when it’s on streaming.
And now here we are… I have a very busy week ahead, and I am already looking forward to next weekend! I’m considering joining the Study of Christmas Cookies Throw Crochet Stitch Along. Maybe. I have a number of projects-in-progress that I really should finish first! On the other hand, it would be a good stash-buster. Decisions, decisions!
Hope things are great in your corner of the world!
Congratulations to your college graduate! Your celebration sounds perfect, and your menu sounds delicious and quite similar to something I would serve! Have a nice week, my friend. I love the look around here!
It sounds like you had a wonderful time celebrating your oldest’s graduation and summer birthdays! The menu you put together sounds delicious and perfect for a family gathering.
As for the movie, it’s always a bit disappointing when key elements are revealed too early or scenes don’t quite fit. Hopefully, it will be more enjoyable on a second viewing.
The Study of Christmas Cookies Throw Crochet Stitch Along sounds tempting, especially as a stash-buster. Balancing new projects with ongoing ones can be tricky, but it’s great to have options.
Hope your busy week goes smoothly and that you enjoy your weekend ahead! READ MY NEW BLOG POST> THANK YOU>
