Big sisters are wonderful

So, a shout out to my sissy.

Thanks for the care package my dear. You are a peach!

Now, what are those long things? I imagine I will have egg on my face when you tell me!

We went to Jungle Jim's today, and I totally spaced on getting the supplies for my sumptuous treat... We also had lunch at Buffalo Wings and Rings, a very POOR cousin to BW3's - they have a new name Buffalo something or other, anyway, they are off the chart for wings-- their garlic parmesan wings are wonderful. The place we went today... forgetable!

At Jungle Jim's I also forgot to get the sambal oelek and five spice for the chicken wings mom wants me to make. I felt real good remembering the kejcap manis... oh well, next time I will take a freaking list with me! I did find some aioli, but it was French, not Spanish and it looked too yellow... not sure how the French and Spanish do it different...

Well, just wanted to say thanks to my sissy for her care packages, sent with love across the miles. You rock!

I am going to take mom to Savannah's (my sissy's youngest grandchild) track and field day at school on Friday. Savannah is almost 7 and a pistol. I'll give her some grandma Sherry love for you.

This Sunday we are going up to Columbus (1.5 hours away) to go to COSI (center for science and industry) with my sister's daughter, her husband and all 3 of the kids. That should be a fun day!

Rest of weekend will likely be yard work - I need to mow mom's yard, weed eat her yard and clean out her front gutter and redo the gutter guards that are not stopping the maple tree things from clogging her downspouts.

Then, there is all the stuff to do in my yard, like about 10 hours of weed eating, removing sod I cut up 2 weeks ago, planting the vine seeds, putting up the trellis' (get the supplies to finish that last 3...) and well, still have done nothing to the inside of the mansion...

living on e street, kicking back eating bon bons!

Yup. wild and crazy living here in the midwest.
