Went to Meijers because we had coupons. We don't normally go there and its been a year or so since we have been but, I had coupons. My youngest son and dil shop there all the time and rave about it. To be honest, I was not that impressed. I got the items for the coupons and then got some lettuce, bananas and cat food that we needed. The price was good but I was not impressed with the layout of the store, the grocery item prices and the attitude of the girl working the register. Needless to say, B and I agreed this was the last visit (unless we had good coupons).
The weather got better this past weekend so B worked on some repairs to the front deck on Saturday as we waited for it to totally dry out so we could repaint it on Sunday. It seems every year the winter takes a toll on the decks and we have to repaint both in the spring. We will get the front deck done first and then move to the back deck. B decided we couldn't repaint the front deck on Sunday because there was too much repair that had to be done on it. So we will be repainting on Monday. The temps are supposed to be in the upper 60s so the drying should go pretty fast. I am hoping we can start putting the furniture out on the deck by Tuesday. As it turned out, we had to work on the deck one more day so Wednesday, we put out the furniture.
My youngest son and dil let us know Sunday night that they had gotten home from their trip safely. They have been gone a week and a half. They went to a concert in Utah then went to Wyoming to visit a friend who is a forest fire ranger and then they went to spend a few days with our oldest son and dil in Nevada. We are looking forward to hearing about the visit. They did post pictures and their adventures look so fun.
Still planning meals from the items in the pantry and freezer. B has become a very creative cook. Works for me. B has always been a much better cook than me and he enjoys it.
With the temps getting into the upper 60s this week, I am going to try opening all the windows and getting some needed fresh air in the house.
I have been reading up on container gardening. I think I might give that a try this year. Do any of you container garden and which have you had the best luck with?
I am jealous of all of you who have flowers coming up and blooming. Right now I have just buds on the trees and bushes but no flowers yet.
I got so excited, we saw two bunnies on our way to the store Tuesday morning. Sounds weird to be excited about seeing two bunnies but when you have winter as long as we seem to have it, seeing bunnies is a good sign.
This weekend our youngest son and dil are taking us to Sault Ste Marie for Mother's Day. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous and I am looking forward to the mini trip.
