Rain again

Well it stopped raining for awhile but wouldn't you know it would start up again when I'm playing golf. I thought it never rained on Tuesday, only on weekends. When I was one of the work force it seemed to rain only on Saturday and Sunday now that I'm retired it only rains when I'm playing golf, Tuesdays, unbelievable. Well the grass, weeds and flowers are happy anyway. Getting ready for a mini vacation to New England and beyond. Lot of driving but it's worth it for the time away with my sweetheart, adults only. I think next trip we'll take our grandson, it so wants to go to New
England. Don't ask me why, but I think he wants to get away from his sister for awhile. Just a wild guess. Got to go get my pants fitted, length only the waist is fine for now.

Rain drops

Well it finally stopped raining long enough for me to cut the grass. What a job that was, the grass was so high I lost the mower twice. But I found it long enough to finish the cutting. The trimming will have to wait for a better day, soon I hope.
Went out for supper at the club, the food was great and so were the portions. Can't beat the prices there. I think we'll go tomorrow night for lobster tail and steak. It's a Mother's Day special all weekend.

Family Reunion

Watching Rachel, Martha and the Today Show can teach how to cook and please anyone in your circle of friends and family. This July will be the test of all the cooking tricks we have watched over the past few months.
Your best critic is your family, because they will be honest, believe me my family is very honest when it come to food. We are hoping to have a lot of people to come and visit, some we haven't seen in more than a year. Lots of children, I love it. I'm working on a book of the family genealogy , history, pictures and all kinds of dates. Of course I'm not doing this all alone, just the printing part.
I've had a lot of input from cousins and researching the internet. Don't have everything I'd like to have but for now maybe the rest of the family will get more interested and find something interesting to add to the BOOK.
