It's May Already !!

It's May already !! This  week especially has just flown by ! and we're back with the warm/hot weather with no rain at all.

Sunday dinner was very nice. Hubby had steak although he didn't like  the mashed parsnip baked in a red pepper. We brought his birthday dessert home, and I had my leftover chicken scaloppine  for lunch the next day. On Wednesday I took a girlfriend to another restaurant and we had an absolutely fun time ! As we were early arriving we went to Value Village where she picked up two tops - originally around the $80 price range for $5 each. She was thrilled ! I picked up a pair of cargo pants for Hubby and a kilt in a blue tartan !! 

Last night I took another girlfriend . We have been friends for over 34 years. She is going through a really rough time as her husband has Alzheimer's so it was wonderful for her to get out. Meanwhile at home, Hubby had all three grandchildren. Our eldest GS just loves coming here which he has remarked so often. He and his grandfather have such a special relationship. Listening to the t wo little ones while they plot who gets up first and whom they wake up is quite entertaining. At one point YGS said " What if grandpa is up first ? " GD said" Like that would ever happen ! " I guess I will be making waffles as EGS asked for them, again, last night !

Yesterday morning I w as out taking off more mulch off the front beds and weeding. Two hours is about all I can do. Then Hubby mowed the lawn and watered. This morning I can see a difference in the greening of the grass. Today YS will start to plant some potatoes and YGS gas said he'll help me weed as he loves to weed [ which is true]. We really should have gone grocery shopping this weekend, but as usual life and events happen. Yesterday was the first of YGS's baseball meeting. ES and YS are the coaches; they met the children and their parents. received their t shirts and had hotdogs ! So now every Tuesday and Thursday they have a game-- should be fun to watch.

All the 'salad fixings' I have planted are up. Hopefully this week Hubby can frame the garden so I can get potatoes in as well as more onion sets. So much gardening to do. 


More drama at school. So much fun when one is not involved at all. Of course it was my nemesis. She was trying to cadge a ride to a supper meeting but expected the driver to travel 32 Km out of their way for her. She would not meet them at a meeting point; in fact she was so rude and the others got their backs up because she never asked politely nor did she even say please ! Eventually one of them caved, reluctantly and then ---- she left school early in the afternoon and didn't show up the next day !  Oh people are ticked !! So now she will not be talking to less people. There is also some confusion as to when she will retire. One person said it will be next year which is ridiculous. I think she'll retire on her birthday in May or June- but finish out the year and claim salary for another month. We'll see. There is no way you fill out papers over a year in advance  of retirement, tell people on FB that you're retired and bed to go to ' your last EA supper meeting". Time will tell.

I was very lazy this week doing my hexagons - that and I've been out so much. I should be able to get some done today... oops the two little ones are up !
