Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a nice weekend and I hope the MEN had an especially nice day Sunday! I was thinking about all of you as Kristoffer came over and we were celebrating a pretty low key Father’s Day. It was nice, but still I was thinking of you all…
Here’s what I surmised in my head about what went on in some of your houses… :o)
~~ Joy had to go to Costco to get some easy to manage “finger” snacks so other person could use his OTHER fingers to eat them instead of using a fork. I’m guessing a corn dog and potato salad…of course he’d have to use his left hand for the fork. Hope his finger isn’t too painful!
~~ Linda was slaving away making her hubby’s favorite foods and hopefully she had some “Amish Pickles” made up and chilling in the refrigerator! I bet she made cookies for dessert.
~~ Sissy made Peyton Eggs Benedict early before church and then grabbed a peach pie out of her freezer and thawed it out and baked it for dessert. I’m guessing they had something “fishy” or “crabby” but that’s just a guess…
~~ I hope Rosemary gave Rex something other than one of his 4 sandwiches she keeps in the freezer. I’m sure she did! Maybe she had some cookies she could share with him.
~~ Barbara and David were probably still eating leftovers from the stuffed peppers and homemade spaghetti sauce they had the other night! I couldn’t think of what kind of dessert they might have, but I’m thinking something easy like caramel popcorn they could eat reclining in their chairs watching a movie together.
~~ Paula and her hubby maybe had leftovers from game night the other night. I hope there was enough left for today! :o)
Oh and us? Well, this is terrible, but I went to church and afterwards needed to return a waterer for the hens. The one we had bought was a dud, I guess. It started leaking 15 minutes after it was filled up with water… and got their coop floor all wet. Anyway, my hubby asked me if I could stop by the store and get some fish and maybe some potato salad. (I was really a bad planner this Father’s Day!) :o( I stopped by the store but the fish was all dried out and overly crispy. So I got some red skinned potato salad and drove to Burger King and got us a Whopper! Wasn’t that terrible? I don’t know where my head was when planning for today! Obviously, I had a BAD case of Brain Fog! BUT, he was happy and my sandwich was pretty good too!
Whatever you all had, I hope your men were happy and you too!
We had 3 long phone calls today, Kristoffer came over, I helped my hubby stake up some tomato plants, I watched the New Zealand/Egypt World Cup soccer game (Sorry Anne!) :o( We were in a tornado watch, it rained, and now it’s after midnight. So much for the sewing post…
HOWEVER, Marilyn sent me another blog post from a lady she enjoys. Joyce Vance is her name, and you may have read her last post about the chickens she has. She included a few pictures, and this is another one of her posts…called Thursday Night with Chickens
Thursday Night with Chickens

Jun 19
Tonight, chickens. They love this time of year, and I love them, so they get good treats. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw our biggest girl, Omeleta, jumping up and grabbing blueberries off of our bushes last weekend. I believe she has made her way through just about all of them by now. But we still have plenty of basil, cucumbers, and a little store-bought corn and watermelon for everyone else.
Toot really loves corn, and she can be mean to anyone else who gets close to an ear she’s claimed.
I planted a little grass around the coop as soon as it got warm this spring, and after some initial concerns (“Is it safe to walk on this stuff, Mom?”) they’ve become accustomed to having their picnic tables on it.
Omeleta is definitely today’s chicken “It Girl.” She ate some of everything, came over for a chat and a cuddle, and then, this pose! Is she auditioning to be the new face of Civil Discourse. Should we let her?
Some nights, it’s important to take a little time off and have some fun. This is one of those nights for me. I’m making hot fudge sundaes with friends and turning in early. I hope you’ve got something on your agenda of joy tonight too!
We’re in this together,
Joyce
Thanks Marilyn,
I guess today’s post was really about eating all the things we all love! We’ve been eating lots of watermelon around here too… but those hot fudge sundae’s Joyce mentioned sounded wonderful!
Thanks for helping me out…
See everyone tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
