Funny story how it all went down...
#1 texts me to ask what our plans were for tmrw (meaning Sunday, Father's Day)...
None really...
Her father knows the girls well...plans=where are we going to dinner? (usually)...
So, her dad told me to text her back that he expected her to cook dinner for him...
LOL...pause...really?
REALLY!
But, I don't know how to cook gluten free (#1 tries to pawn it off on dear old mom's food issues).
So, with that I told her dad would provide her with the "Master Chef" secret basket of approved ingredients and then she would have to figure it out.
Let's just say we promptly received two menu choices in return.
Dad chose lemon pepper chicken, seasoned new potatoes and garlic green beans!
Sunday...#1 arrives, ingredients, pans and all, prepared to do battle. And, she did an amazing job!!
So yummy.
Little did she know (I told her later) that her sister and I were using this for a warm-up for Thanksgiving! LOL
It really was a nice treat for both her dad and I.
Other life happenings...I survived a week of teaching 3-4s vacation Bible school. We really had a fun time, but boy do they wear you out. Non-stop...go, go, go!!! I now have a couple months of relief before being assigned a new group to teach come fall.
Our window installation went well, no rain that day!! We have finally made a decision regarding the paint colors for the exterior, and need to get on our painters schedule. I will be thrilled when it is all over!!! I don't care to talk windows nor paint (exterior that is) for quite some time!!!
We continue to work a bit on the yard, although it is mostly done. Need to make a few changes in the grassy areas, but that will come in due time.
Other than that, I am taking a deep breath this week and enjoying what sunshine I can get. Seems to rain EVERY afternoon!!!!! Would not mind if it would cool things off, but it just makes them all the more hot and sticky.
Hope your summers are off to a good start.
