10-06-22 Happy 50th Barry and Jeanne
I woke after 8 hours and started doing chores. The main one was to cook my last Hello Fresh from the prior week. It was a risotto and chicken which as I was taking it out of the oven managed to burn my arm. I ran it under cold water but it is pretty gnarly. The food smells good and there are now two full containers ready for lunches this week.
After showering and dressing, I dropped off Tracey’s hockey ticket for Ash as Jake is going to use mine and had a quick visit before heading to Mom’s. I took a quick pic of Sawyer’s school shot.
Once at Mom’s we went through some of her treasure boxes and jewelry box. There are now a couple of zip locks full of costume jewels for the thrift store, a few things sent home with me, small boxes for others as we went and her faves in the jewelry box on her dresser where she can enjoy them. I was thrilled that she gave me a few things including the heavy duty necklace I loved seeing back in the ‘70s.
We had a good laugh over the weird bottle of teeth and agreed to get it gone. The only one we kept (for now) was the one wrapped with the note, MB first tooth. It was also stunning to find she still has the cookie from when I was 15 wrapped in it’s recipe. Yes, that’s right a petrified cookie which came that way out of the oven. I had forgotten the butter. Sigh.
Among the other cute things were a Heinz pickle pin, a Woodward’s Santa button and a note from a birthday gift along the way. My fave was the tooth fairy note.
We joined a bunch of family at Mr. Mike’s for dinner to celebrate Barry and Jeanne’s 50th anniversary. It was also Donna and Hogie’s 48th last week so it was nice to sit with them for dinner. We had a delicious meal and good conversation. Danny picked up the tab which was a big surprise!
A bonus for the day was seeing myself 34 pounds down which is the lowest I have been since Sept 2015. Getting closer to my pre-Bella Bella weight which is where I am aiming for.
