thirteen year old boys are yucky. And deliberately say things that are gross and crude. Unfortunately, so does our president. I think he has arrested developement at about age 13. and he was and remains a spoiled brat. Good grief! I've gone from calf slobbers to djt.  ayhhh.

I plan meals too as I only shop once a week. One night of the week is always breakfast for dinner, and this time of year, one night is always soup and sand or salad. Leftovers is one night based on what I cooked on Sunday. Coming up with the other four nights is the challenge. Usually there is one veggie meal, one chicken meal, one portk and one beef or fish. Balance is hard and hubby is diabetic, so I do feel your pain. This week knowing I am planning for Super Bowl Sunday makes it easier for next weekend, that's for sure. And I need to incorporate a plan this week for a chili and cinnamon roll contest we are having at work. If you like shrimp boil, see the recipe I posted from last Sunday...it was pretty good!

I have cousins in Kentucky that hunt because they grew up hunting and we were all taught how to handle firearms and to respect what they are used for. Uncles and cousins who were or had been military taught us all that the only reason for side arms was for self-defene and to kill people.  Back in those days NRA was mostly teaching young people how to use a rifle safely. And to take the responsibility  of having one seriously. And we learned about hunting. And i think of the times we put cans on fence posts and shot at them. the times we missed those bullets kept going. But I do miss the dinners we used to have with what fish  we'd caught or game we'd killed. And most everything got fried. lol

I use the Betterworld books to get older titles and out of print. My copy of "the Road" has to come all the way from the UK. they have a warehouse and shipping center there as well as here. And they are creating a library of all the books that they have/get. And it will be available to third world countries. It's non-profit. I think that's wonderful but I'm really not trying to get you to use it. Just like it a lot. A Jeff Bezos has enough money. lol

RE:  little boy--I think many fans were hoping Gibbs would adopt him but they found his aunt and uncle that he loved and he went with them.

Absolutely gorgeous gorgeous garden.

All is well with daughter and grands from Florida.  They have moved into their own place close by, although not in the same school district.   She no longer works the night shift at the hospital and is now managing a group home, in assisted living.
Grandson is in his senior year of high school and is living with us until he graduates, so he doesn't have to change schools.  He also has a job after school and on weekends at a nursing home -- dining staff.  Granddaughter is in 4th grade and had to switch schools, but I think she is adjusting well.  She has a Guinea Pig to take care of now and is taking that responsibility very seriously LOL.  Thanks for asking ❤️

Just wanted to say I love how your garden looks! My favorite color is blue and the red gives a lovely touch f color. Happy hunting.

Oh that does make it hard for y'all to go like that. Sad when they have a stroke, my Dad had one and it was terrible, he lived like that for about 16 years. 

Saw your post on Patricia and Marta's wall. Hope you don't mind my messaging you here but I play head and foot here in England with a nephew this is the first time I've heard of head & foot referred to by anyone else!
