Good morning folks! I finally have time today to relax long enough to write a post worth reading…or perhaps it’s worth writing. I have so much to say today!
First I want to sinfully point you all to my favourite foody website.

My boyfriend is very picky. He doesn’t like veggies (cooked root veggies only), he doesn’t like “hard to eat pasta” (all long pastas are out), hates rice, and isn’t adventurous at all. I am the opposite. I will try anything and I only hate olives. I am a lot easier to please…thank goodness. This website holds the best recipes I have ever made. I cook from this website at least once a week. I am pleased to share it and hopefully it can bring some fabulous new recipes to your tables! Tonight I’m cooking “enchiladas supreme”. I’m sure Chad will just adore them. I’ll try to remember to photograph them and share my experience with you tomorrow.
I’m glad it’s going to rain today. He gives me an excuse to play catch up. I have a lot to do at home. I have laundry to do, dishes, sweeping, dusting, you name it and it needs to be done. These past few days have been nuts. Chad has only slept in his own bed one night in the last 6. We have been non-stop. There is camping gear, wedding clothes, work clothes, etc all over the place. I’ll be glad to reclaim my home again. Also, I really haven’t had time to make a great meal so I am glad tonight will allow for that.
Yesterday it was 29 degrees in St. John’s. VOCM informed me that it hasn’t been this hot in May since 1940. Also, 29 degrees is 5 degrees hotter than the warmest day all of last year. If you haven’t heard last year Newfoundland was plagued with the worst summer in 70 years. In July we had 2 days of sun. It was the most depressing thing ever. We seem to be off to a better start this year. Maybe I’ll even get a tan this summer. ha ha I am hopeful.
Yes would have been my grand fathers 80 birthday. Perhaps before I talk about him I should explain my family situation. My Mother’s mother divorced her drunk, abusive husband and found Larry, this wonderful caring man. He took my mother, aunt Kim, and uncle Paul in as his own. What ever Poppy Larry was to me technically could never justify what he really mean’t to me. He was the best Grandfather I could ask for. He has been gone a few years now but we all think about him so much. I was very lucky to have him in my life.

What is a weed? by Anna Murphy
Today’s 365 is all about not taking anything for granted. Even a weed is beautiful. I love the look of the yellow dandelions carpeting the road sides and lawns. It looks so nice.
Christmas, Chad gave me a promise ring. It was thing beautiful diamond ring. It had one plain band, one diamond band, and one band with a huge diamond in the middle. It was breath taking. Chad told me he was the plain band, I was the diamond band, and together we made the perfect ring (and pair). Friday I wore it camping. When I came home I realized the big diamond was gone. I am heartbroken. I don’t even know what to do. I feel horrible for losing it. It mean’t so much to me. Now I’m just sporting the other two bands.
Have a good day everyone!
