Happy Tuesday!

We had a great...relaxing weekend! I was all in for that...lets see...Friday, Brittany and I worked outside all day. Trimming trees, cutting up the wood, clearing out areas...that sort of spring clean-up kinda thing only we are late. Later on went to the store and I bought more plants and a couple of vegetable plants for containers. I have tried before but we'll see...when you live in a woodland it is hard to grow even a tomato plant. I am hoping that this year the spot I have chosen will be much better.

Saturday we had a graduation party to attend...our closest friends. Boy did they have the food. I tried to convince them to just throw everything in the freezer for me for the end of the month...but I don't think they bought it...then I tried to hire them to cater our party...in the end they told us that we could borrow whatever we need. So at least there is that. They had the best pulled pork...which is way too pricey for me. So...off to Sam's Club we went. They were featuring pulled pork there this weekend. So luckily we were able to sample it...really good too...and a fraction of what our friends had and my family decided that we wanted to have...all three of us sampled and agreed that it was really good...so we left with four trays of it...where it is frozen in my freezer until the big event. I think I have decided the rest of my menu around it...

cole slaw
potato salad
fruit salad
veggie tray
baked beans

hot dogs
rolls and buns

We thought the kiddies would like the hot dogs! And then of course we will have our large sugar cookies for dessert...our friends had cupcakes, a huge cake and cookies and hardly anyone touched any of it...of course it was 90 degrees that day and not many like sweets when it is that hot outside.

So...I feel really good about my menu...I know it will turn out great. The pulled pork that we bought says you can warm it on the grill...it just so happens that our shelter has three nice grills right there...so we don't have to worry about crock pots or anything like that to keep it warm. Pretty cool!

Monday...I spent the day in my flower garden, planting the last of what I had and planting my veggies in my pots in between thunderstorms.

Brittany has a bad case of poison something on her ankles...it is really ugly and itchy and miserable...but we are using what we can to keep her comfortable....just in time for graduation huh?

That's about it...in a nutshell.

Have a great Tuesday!
