The Weekend

Happy Sunday Everyone! I’m having a simply delightful weekend! It all started on Saturday when I went into Walmart and found a really comfortable sunhat for $7.95!

I sort of like the way it dips down on either side of my face, and it really does fit my fat wide head. I am thinking I could even wrap a scarf around it to dress it up. Today however, it went perfectly with my pants and top.

Then Hubby and I went to lunch at our favorite Chinese/Japanese/Korean Restaurant. I usually have the Sesame Shrimp, but today I decided to have the lunch version of a Pupu Platter. Teriyaki Chicken, Chicken Fingers, Crab Rangoons and pork fried rice. Because we were having a lunch special, we also got Hot & Sour Soup and an Egg Roll. In fact there was so much food that I could only eat half my meal. The rest I brought home for Hubby’s lunch on Sunday!

After lunch we went to Lowe’s to look at garden plants, but found that they were very highly priced. So, we went off to Agway Garden Centers. There we found our tomato plants, eggplant plants, and pepper plants! Best of all, they were $1.99 for a 6-pack flat! At Lowe’s one very unhealthy plant was $3.95! So we felt pretty pleased about that.

We got home in time to see the Preakness Horse race, after which I made a steak and potato salad and peas for our dinner. I mean, today was just one of those great days all around!

I saw a pair of crazy Beetles outside today doing what comes naturally, this time of year, and I looked them up, as I couldn’t ever recall seeing a Beetle like that.

I was amazed to find out that this Beetle is actually a “Fire Fly”!

Moonrise Kingdom was playing on the movie channel, and although I did not like it when I saw it a couple of years ago, I found that this time, watching it through the eyes of a child, that I really enjoyed it. It is definitely a quirky movie, but very well done!

In the evening, Hubby and I watched another episode of “The Civil War” done by Mill Creek Productions. It was a $5.99 DVD we got at Walmart some time back and surprisingly, it is really well done, both historically and visually.

Sunday will be gardening day, as I need to re-pot the plants we bought today and get them ready for planting in the big garden, the first week of June. The patio pot tomatoes and eggplants will just go in their big pots. I’ll do 6 tomato plants and 6 eggplants. The rest of the seedlings will go into the big garden.

Today would have been my former Father In-laws birthday. He was a good man, and I really do miss him. Both he and my former Mother In-law were very good to me.

So, as I sit here in Saturday night, I am happy with how the day went.
