I Have a Mega-Sister

While I was away last weekend, my Sister decided to do alot of work around my house. Here's a list of what she did:
Took out sod and weeded my flower garden
Took out sod and weeded my hosta garden
Weeded my vegetable garden
She mulched my hosta & flower garden
She replaced almost all of my window well covers
She trimmed my front bushes
She took care of the dogs
She bought a new rug for the area by the back door
She bought new stove drip covers

Yeah, I owe her big time. Maybe a nice bottle of wine? You don't think that's enough? I agree. I'll have to use my brain power (such as it is) to come up with something nice.

Weekend Adventure

Well, I just spent the weekend (Friday afternoon included) at my Mom's. It was fun and low key. I made Pacific Rim Salmon for Friday night's dinner. I found the recipe in the new "Taste of Home" magazine. We also had cucumber's, tomatoes & onions in a sauce (the cuke's & tomato's were from my own garden) and we had sliced potatoes & onions in foil made on the grill. Yum. We also had smore's for dessert. Saturday was a day for rummage sales. Sometimes I cannot believe what people try to sell. I purchased a lazy susan and a garden hose reel. I need a hose reel for the side of my house by the driveway. We went to Perkins for lunch on Saturday and Mom made dinner Saturday night. Here was the menu: Lettuce salad with hot bacon dressing, slipper lobster which was breaded and deep fried (with butter on the side), corn on the cob (with butter of course) and dessert was a trip to Culver's at 9:45pm. Needless to say, my Sunday morning was not fun because I did not feel good. But I'm a good girl so we went to my Mom's church (catholic) and then out to breakfast at Schloegels. If you have ever been to Schloegel's in Menominee you know what is on their menu. Let's just say that my stomach did not get a repreive. My Dad use to work there back in the 1990's so I've been there alot. I left Mom at about 12:30pm and made my way home to quite a few surprises. I'll write about those later.

Hope you had a great weekend and I'll write again soon.
