Beck and La Kid are here; dinner Friday night was lobster tails and
t-bone, grilled asparagus, mixed greens salad, fruit salad, green peas,
ice cream. I boiled the lobster tails, finding that to be more
satisfactory than baking them as I had last time I prepared them.

Lunch yesterday was ham sandwiches with soup made from 3 different cans
of Progresso, leftover tomatoey rice, some green beans, corn, peas; and
beef broth. The other three had been out and came in cold and hongry.

The Girls made a strike on a local nursery and garden place - they have
beautiful hanging baskets ‹ and after dinner La Kid and I planted a
couple pots for her mom.

Dinner last night was chicken wings from the deli counter ‹ shoot me.

This morning we're driving out to our country place west of the cities
for brunch. And then we'll stroll the gardens and admire the plantings.
Should be fun. I haven't told Himself about the annual spring plant
sale taking place ‹ parking is going to be a bear. :-) I like to
surprise him. :-)
