I ran over to the Princess' house today (okay, I took the car) to pick up the slip I needed in order to visit Chewlee's school on Grandparent's visiting day. Believe it or not, this year the Beast decided he is going to come with me. That will tickle Chewlee and make her feel special. He didn't go with me for the last two visits. But he did go for the one when Chewlee was in kindergarten. I couldn't go then because I was recuperating from my first leg surgery. It really hit me that time is just whizzing by these days. I sucks to get old and have that happen.
When I got there, I thought Gunner was sleeping because the house was so quiet but he was hiding in his bounce seat in the living room and I didn't see him until I was leaving. I didn't want to bother him if he was sleeping but I sure would have picked him up if I had known he was just being quiet. Chewlee was bouncing him slowly to keep him quiet and it told me she does love her little brother to help out like she was. I talked to him a little bit and tickled his belly. It made me realize that he is slimming down a bit because of his pushing himself up on his legs at times. He is such a little cutie pie!
The Princess was a bit annoyed that I didn't bring some of my shrimp salad with me but I told her we had eaten it all. However, the Beast bought me more macaroni so I could make more. I'll be making that tomorrow and I told her I would call her to let her know when it was made and see if she wants me to put some aside for her. I should probably do the same for Sheepie and give her a call, too. It's one way to get her to come visit....LOL!
I was even thinking of making some more potato salad but will have to have the Beast pick me up some potatoes. I looked and we don't have enough here but I have everything else I need. I guess you can tell when I seem to be recovering nicely because I am more into making things for us to eat.
The Beast has been buying a lot of different skillet dinners and trying those out. So far, we really haven't had any bad ones. He made us this Nacho skillet dinner that was different although I found it seemed to have a bit more cumin and a strong chili powder flavor than I liked. It was okay but not one of my favorites. I should probably look and see what else he has in store for us to try. I know part of it is that you don't need to use much hamburger to make them so it becomes a cheap meal. Especially because we always have leftovers so we get two meals out of it....LOL.
It cracks me up that both Sheepie and the Princess always check the fridge to see what we have as far as leftovers go. Sometimes, I am very, very grateful that they do it since I tend to make much more than we will eat. The Beast does the same thing for certain types of meals...like chili or spaghetti.
It rained here...hard! And several times. It started pouring when I left the Princess' house but was fairly gentle at our house. Weird since we live just a little over a mile apart. Less if you figure as the crow flies. My Weatherbug says we are going to have more thunderstorms tonight so I want to get this finished and posted before that happens. i always lose my internet during those.
Hope you all had better weather (unless, of course, you need the rain!) and have good weather tomorrow. Love you all. ***Hugs***
