Food

Up early this morning to take advantage of the early hour for seniors to get groceries.  Both hubby and I are fortunately to be financially secure, so we are not really on a budget for our weekly purchases.  If an item is on special we buy more than one, if cherries, which we both love,  are in the store we buy some irregardless of  the price. We both have worked very hard to be able to do this, myself, I worked for 27 years, as well as raising a family of three children, they have grown up to be responsible adults, so they did not suffer from the absence of a "stay at home" Mum.  Hubby worked as a school teacher and was able to retire early, and then started another job driving a bus for individuals with physical and mental disabilities.  He has been doing this for 17 years, however, currently off as his doctor suggested a leave of absence due to his age and the number of people he would encounter during his day.   To this day he is still off because of Covid-19. .  We do not over indulge in our eating habits, both of us are healthy and active so not overweight, neither of us smoke and drink, (the occasional glass of wine, maybe) so we do not feel guilty.

And yes, we both contribute to many organizations, which help to provide research and assistance to those less  fortunate than us.

             

Do you have a budget for your groceries?

Grey skies and a shower this morning, and we can expect a substantial amount of rain throughout the day, maybe tomorrow I can get in the garden and pull some weeds.  It has been a useless exercise these past few days as the ground is so dry, but they always seem to grow no matter what the ground is like.  All the cedar trees and hedge were trimmed  and the lawn cut yesterday by hubby, so property looking good again.

Today I think is going to be a sewing day for me, hope to get something done on DGD #5 quilt and also on our guilds challenge.  

Yesterday, I mentioned the hair appointment, I must be really excited,  even had a dream last night about the style I was going to have, It looked good in the dream, but a bit over the top in real life. 

Dinner tonight, chicken, rice, asparagus and strawberry shortcake, taking advantage of the short season for local strawberries.

Stay safe, stay well.
