Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it.

I can see him being really excited by this and you did a great job putting all that together for him and his wife. That shirt is perfect!

I use 1 tsp of orange marmalade on top to give a little bit of extra flavor to more bland (cod) or "fishy" tasting (salmon) fish. I can say this is where I won't recommend TJ's for this one, theirs is really bitter. But Bonne Maman brand is made with pectin and not HFCS.
DeleteThanks!
DeleteSuch a cute stuffed animal!!! Congrats on healing and taking good care of your body by listening to its cues and not overdoing it. I think my happy for the week was when I went to go see my uncle on Monday and brought him lunch the very first word he said was "operation?" as he pointed to my stomach. It really touched me that he remembered. And when I reached down to give him a smooch he grabbed my arm and pulled me back down so he could give me a smooch on my cheek. He has never done that before so I know my coming there means something to him. And that made me feel really good.
