There might be one or two more items.. but this is close enough. I try to stay away from anything highly salted. But I give in once in a while.
I am still over my head in paperwork. It's driving me crazy.
Oh the kids are brinning ton's 5 gal jugs of H2o - I won't run out this time. But I may start buying bottled water in those big packs as backup. They have a big water dispenser that the bottle fits in the bottom. they are going to give it to me. I am running out of room - with all their stuff they are giving away.
Did I mention the tall poker table with 4 high backed chairs. If I can get rid of the boxes in DDs room I can move on of the upholstered chairs - a set of 2 - one goes to DDs room one stays in library. then I hve to rearrange bookcases to make room for the poker table. I have 3 chairs in library and one in the kitchen which Soli sleeps on.
I made a big batch of brown rice today... I have some chicken breasts to cook up and add to part of the rice. I want to try my Chicken broth. Add some veggies, onions, celery, garlic and herbs.. I can get at least 4 or more meals out of all that.
And then maybe Fried rice with left over rice.
I had to order crushed romas from IPF... and I only have i med can of tomato sauce... but lots of tomato paste.
I can live with that. add some catsup to thin and I'll b good to go.
I don't think I will order next week from Schwans. Which means no deliveries till after the New Year.Oh well I can make do. bit here, a bit there and I won't be starving.
My yard clean up is getting done. I prefer sunny days. This week I need to cut back some horrid bush type trees that have thorns all over the branches. They are everywhere. In all sizes. Oh well. Chance is getting some good branches to chew on - the non thorn trees & bushes of course.
Well it is time for Charlie afternoon play time.
I walk he plays. LOLOL
Hope you can all manage to get your food needs met. I feel the same. Everything is small packages. meat, veggies, etc. The money is not, of course.
Have a good rest of the week.
Did I tell you I finally received the print of Andrew Wyeth' painting of a Yellow lab in a country cabin typed bedroom sleeping in the 'Master Bedroom." That's the name of the painting. I got it on the 12th. 8-) ordered in early Nov -- but it was shipped from Europe. Will send you an email with a photo of it.
Ok Charlie is waiting at the door. I best be gone. LOL
I just don't want to pull weeds and reeds and sticky vines right now.
