In addition to painting the back door, I also replaced the door sweep on the screen door. There's still a small gap, but compared to the way it was before, I'm OK with it because it looks and functions better, even with the gap.
The entire screen door was wiped down as well. A cleaning project I never really think about.
I am loving summer dinner salads of all kinds. This one had romaine, olives, cucumber, avocado, cut up chicken strips, croutons, and a drizzle of bleu cheese dressing. Super easy, cool, maybe nutritious.
My latest Goodwill run netted me two books to read. It was suggested to me that I go back and re-read all the books I had on grieving. Well, oops, I have already donated those. Lucky for me there are resources on-line. This site is one of my favorites.
Long story short: Bubbie will soon be home from college for a bit. Since his room and closet had become something of a storage area, I cleaned it up, moving the black and white chair into The Lounge (aka my office) and I now have a cozy place to sit and read or stitch. Or drink my morning coffee. Or talk to the counselor on the phone. Or listen to podcasts.
Two of the items I removed from Bubbie's closet were Mark's mandolin and a folk guitar. I have an appointment this morning at a music store to see about selling them. Mark picked up new hobbies on the regular and sometimes only for a hot minute. They are in mint condition and belong in the hands of someone who will use them.
I relaxed my "no oven" rule because I was craving pie!
Coconut Pie
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/2 can evaporated milk
1/2 stick very soft butter
1/2 t. vanilla
dash salt
4 oz. grated coconut
Mix it all and pour into an unbaked pie shell, 350 for about an hour, but check around the 50 minute mark. Cool, store in the fridge.
Happy weekend,
Gina
