Hot red pepper in the oatmeal
8
Wed, 07-16-2008 - 12:03pm

1.Making my usual breakfast of oatmeal, I reached for the cinnamon...picked up the crushed red pepper by mistake, and sprinkled it on! yuck...rather than dump it, I picked out the pepper and put in the cinnamon...missed some of the pepper....interesting! Now what does this mean? overload? perhaps..distracted? ah..more like it!


2.tomorrow Bob goes for surgery on his knee, torn meniscus...the other knee was done 10 yrs ago..at least it is fixable


3.had the dgds for a sleepover last week...dgd,4, says her sister,2, never stops talking..even in her sleep..its true..during the night we heard dgd,2, MEOW! just like she does when she calls our cat!


4.ds and family are on vacation in DC...dgd,4, called me as they were on their way to the zoo..I swear, that girl could be a reporter!!


5. some of you may remember my post in Jan about my FABULOUS NEW SLIPPERS!..well, I wore them out!! ordered new ones yesterday...they will be here TODAY!! free shipping was upgraded to overnight air no extra charge!


6. starting line things up for our week at the shore in Aug...


7. our lawn is growing...but it is STRIPED!!!..went from dirt and rocks, to looking "painted green" from hydro seeding...came in looking weak and anemic..so we fertilized it..missed spots...hence STRIPES...I went over them but no big change yet...and STILL have rocks..every day I go out and pick out 2-3 buckets of rocks..my new hobby..LOL


8. but the new house is looking good


9. making an effort to enjoy the nice days of summer, even if it is just reading a book on the deck..so far this summer:"Double Negative", "Final Theory", "the Bone Vault",The book of Air and Shadows"...each good in their own way


10. getting ready for dgd,2, birthday party this weekend


so there it is!


hope this finds you all well

Whew...you have been busy, Dutch! Your oatmeal recipe is probably one you'd find in Gourmet magazine...LOL! I did about the same thing, but it was garlic powder instead of powder sweetner.

Tell us about the slippers again. I can't remember that far back. I recently got some Easy Spirit slip-ons & I live in them. They are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn & now I want every color.

Sounds like you're really enjoying summer...good for you! Hugs, Cal
