AUDREY AND JACK

Here they are the little munchkins! Little Audrey in her cute cap and Jack in his swing and in the yard a few days ago enjoying the nice weather. Jack was a November baby and Audrey came three months later in February. She is petite and he is, well he is a big boy! I am so happy my grand nieces keep these adorable photos coming my way. It makes me feel close even though I do not see them in person. They are both such adoring Mommies.


I am posting this tomorrow but now it is Wednesday evening and I starting this blog as hubby just called and he is held up in construction traffic. At a dead stop who knows when he will be home. Why do they do road construction on busy through-ways at rush hour? A nightmare. So the grill awaits his arrival.
I have the shrimp marinating in garlic, lemon, olive oil, herbs and seasonings. Oh it smells so appetizing. Cannot wait. I have my rub on the steak doing it's thing. All should be very tasty.


I just heard on the news that the average person gains nine pounds every ten years! What? Well I guess if I honestly look back that is almost true. I was so fit and the perfect weight when I met my hubby. Well now that is not the case however I am 29 years older, but still I could do better. Weight has slowly crept on especially when I quit working.  I feel I eat quite healthy and adhere to small portions but I need more exercise in my life besides my daily walk. I am going to buy a hula hoop that would be good. I will be going shopping soon for some new summer togs so that is my inspiration to drop a few pounds.


Well it is Thursday morning now. Hubby finally wound his way home avoiding most of the delays last night.
Our dinner was yummy and he just hit sofa after eating. It was a long hard day for him. What he does refinishing and installing hardwood floors is such a hard job. I appreciate his work ethic so much he never complains though I can see his body is aching at the end of the day. But he always has a smile when we walks through the door in the evening. He is a very sweet guy and I am blessed to have him in my life.


I am thinking that I may run up to the Dollar Tree today for a few things. I find I buy a lot of cleaning products there. Of course you cannot beat the price. I also need to make a run to Trader Joe's for a few staples I only get there. I have already done my grocery shopping for the week but I feel like getting out today.


Tonight for dinner I am making my sausage, polenta, pepper casserole. This is a great dish to make especially when the red, yellow and orange bell peppers are on sale. It is a very pretty dish as well as so very tasty. I am using bratwurst this time however it makes up grand with any kind of sausage or no sausage at all. I will check back through my earlier blogs to see if I have posted the recipe for this casserole if not I will include it with a photo tomorrow.


Well the day awaits me so I best step into it.
