No Flu Allowed! (June 24, 2019)

 
I'm down this morning, 267.6 lbs.
I honestly thought it would be more because I've been being careful and cutting way back on the eating.
It's better than being up though so I'll take it.
 
After coffee break I started feeling flu like symptoms coming on.
I went home for lunch and laid on the couch - I think I could have slept the rest of the day but I had a lot of work to get done so back to work I went.
 
I worked late then when I got home, I got busy right away doing laundry, blog catch up, packing and the books for the golf course kitchen.
SV is running it out there this summer with another lady and asked if I could do the books for them.
I would have liked to stop and see Baby F but I since I wasn't feeling good I didn't want to chance passing anything along to her.
 
I was so busy that I didn't even notice the time go by and next thing you know, My Honey was home from work.
He cooked up some tomato soup.
He made some additions to brighten it up and it was good.
 
We had grilled cheese with it but I really wasn't feeling good at all so I couldn't finish.
I ended up getting My Honey to finish my last load of laundry for me and I went to bed.
I really don't want to be sick for our trip so I'm at least going to make sure I'm well rested.  
 
A grandmother created this for her grand-daughter - isn't it awesome?

A little pizza place too.

This fridge is adorable.
So many great ideas.
Replace dog with cat and this is totally true.
 
Baby F is coming up to her first birthday right away and I thought these were some cute photo shoot ideas.

I like the washtub.

I guess this would be the before - pretty cute.
 
 
That is all for today, until next time, be happy!
 

Off to Shop with Miss M! (June 23, 2019)

We were up and on the road by 8 am this morning.
Miss H decided it would be too long of a day for Baby F so they didn't come, instead we dropped by there and she gave us a list of things she needed.
 
We made our first stop at Marshalls.
Not because I needed anything but just because I like it.
I ended up getting a little blue dress for Baby F that had sea turtles all around the bottom and little sea turtle buttons.
Really cute!
 
Next we stopped at the Italian Market.
My Honey wanted me to pick him up a spicy sandwich.
My niece was in awe of all the goodies they had there - neither of us got any though - we were good.

We each got a sandwich and I got one for My Honey too.

It was a beautiful sunny day out so we sat at the outdoor tables and ate our breakfast/lunch.

I forgot my phone in the truck so I had to get her to take pictures for me.
Thought she'd like to have a selfie of me, ha ha!

Enjoying lunch with my girl.
 
My Honey sent me this picture of the bbq he's preparing for the guys at work today.
Fried chicken and hash brown casserole.
Yum yum.
 
From there we headed to the mall.
Miss M had a few things she wanted to get and we also did the shopping for Miss H.
 
Love this shoe made out of flowers on display at WEM (West Edmonton Mall).
I was hoping to get home early but that didn't happen.
No biggie though, it's not often that I get to spend the day with Miss M so I enjoyed it.

We stopped in Stony Plain for some supper.
Miss M picked Edo and I picked Quesada.
I've never been there before but I wanted something I could hold in my hand and eat.

The lady ahead of me was ordering a burrito bowl and I decided I had to have one too.
So much for holding it in my hand.
 
Miss M had to wait a bit for her food as they had a big order ahead of her so I was able to eat half of mine before we hit the road.

When we got home, we stopped over at my son's to drop off the stuff we picked up for Miss H.
She asked for these sunglasses.
I think they look cute on her.

My boy just being silly.
 
Miss H was happy with the things we picked out for her which made us happy.
We are good shoppers!
I didn't get to see Baby F because she was sleeping but I'll see her tomorrow.
 
I dropped Miss M off next then headed home where I ate the rest of my burrito bowl.
 
It was 8 by the time I arrived home so pretty much I ate then we headed to bed.
I did a lot of walking today and I was tired.
 
 
That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

Happy Birthday Sissy! (June 22, 2019)

I had made appointments for pedicures for myself, my niece (Miss M) and my DIL (Miss H) in WCT this morning.
They were only at 11:30 but I wanted to get on the road early so we could do a few other things.

My Honey needed some more construction adhesive so I ran out to the garage and took a picture so I'd know what kind to pick up.

He sent me the same picture minutes later, ha ha.

Today was Lemonade Day here in Alberta - our small town was taking part along with all kinds of other towns across Northern Alberta.
It's teaches kids about running a business and what it involves.
It was starting at 9 and going until 5 today.

I saw some of the kids were starting to get set up.

The kids had to set up businesses at the town office then get permission to set up in front of businesses in town or wherever they chose.
This business allowed two groups to set up out front.

I picked up Miss M, then Miss H and Baby F.
My son had to go to work and he is expected back in an hour so we decided to wait for him.
Kind of hard to get a pedicure when you are trying to watch a baby.

Baby F looked so cute this morning with her little pony tails and overall shorts.
Her and her mommy were matching.
She turned 10 months old today.
Time sure is flying by!

Little Jay's was open for business so we purchased our first cup of lemonade for the day.

Then just around the corner, we got our second cup.

Miss A was running one too.
Luckily they got set up and I was able to buy some lemonade from them before I left.
I'm hoping to get back to go to a few more but you just never know how the day is going to go.

I thought they looked adorable with their unicorn hats on.

Everyone wore their tie dye shirts too to match the theme of the booth.

They boiled cabbage for theirs to make different colors.
The cabbage water is heavier so it stays at the bottom but it doesn't taste any different.
Pretty cool.

More booths were setting up but they weren't open for business yet so we headed over to the house to wait for my son to get home.

Baby F had a snack while were were there.

She reminds me of Pebbles from the Flintstones with her little pony tail.

"Really Grandma, do you have to take so many pictures?"

Being cute is oh so hard!

My son got home just after 10 so we headed out.
He came with us and brought the stroller.

While the girls and I got pedicures, he took the baby for a walk.

I wanted a nice bright color for summer so I got this bright orange.
I haven't been getting a design lately but today decided to get a chevron pattern.
She had a really hard time with it though so in the end I told her just to go with polka dots.
I'm happy with it.

Miss H got sunflowers, I think they look great.

Miss M went for a feathery looking design.
She wanted leopard print on the edges but that proved to be too difficult as well.

After nails we went to the second hand store.
I got some outfits for Baby F and the girls had fun trying on wedding veils.
It's so nice that the two of them are such great friends.

After that, we went for something to eat.

Baby F was trying to share her spoon with Miss M.

Mommy brought snacks for her and she was eating them two at a time.

You want some Miss M?

Trying to decide what they wanted.

My niece's hotpot looked delicious.

He settled on a stir fry.

She ran out of snacks so just chewed on the spoon.

I got this chicken curry soup that I love.
I couldn't finish so ended up taking some home for My Honey.

It was nice to get to spend some time with them out and about.

She was really trying to get a hold of her dad's plate.

My boy and his baby.

She was making her silly faces again - it's so funny when she gets doing it.

My Honey was at work and he was excited because he found some more pallets to break down.

He also found some Stranger Things 3 ice cream he said we'll have to try out when we go to New York next week.

We made a few other stops and by the time we got home it was 5 pm so all the lemonade stands were shut down.

I'm so glad I was able to get to Miss A's before I left.

In other new, my baby sister turned 40 today!
Doesn't she look fabulous for 40?

I really wish I could have been there to do something special with her to celebrate the day.
I talked to her and she said she and her boys were going to go for dinner and a movie.

I had a nice long hot bath when I got home today.
I read for awhile and was still in there when My Honey got home.

I noticed that Bohemian Rhapsody was the .99 cent rental on Itunes this week so I rented it for us to watch.
I've been wanting to watch it for a while now.
I enjoyed it a lot.

We went to bed early because I told Miss M that I'd take her shopping in the city tomorrow and I wanted to get an early start.


Didn't get enough moving in today.

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!
