The Last day of May, 2018

It's been a busy week and boy has it went by fast!  Weeks that start with a holiday like this on did with Memorial Day always mess me up.  Do they for anyone else?  I keep thinking that Tuesday is Monday and Wednesday is Tuesday!  And before I knew it, Thursday was here!

Well, today Gary, my hubby had 2 teeth removed and some more stuff done to his mouth.  It took the periodontist about 2.5 hours to get it done.  I went along to drive us home afterwards.  It went well.  After they took him back I left to go pickup some shoes at the Shoe/Boot Repair Shop down the street then I went to have my blood drawn for the INR results to see how thin my blood is at the DLO lab.  It was across the street.  I was supposed to get something to eat but I decided to wait because if hubby could go since last night without eating then I could last just a little while longer.  Besides there wasn't much available unless you wanted to drive more than a half mile away.  How do I know that, you ask.  Because I drove around a little bit!

I made my Broccoli Cheese Soup after returning home.  Here's the recipe:

   Broccoli Cheese Soup

3 C. fresh broccoli, chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 C. each of carrots, celery and onion, chopped
1/4 C. butter
1/4 C. flour
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
4 C. milk
2 Cans Chicken broth
1 pound American cheese, sliced or grated
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Saute veggies in butter until they are tender. Stir in flour and cornstarch. Add chicken broth and milk and stir until blended. Add baking soda with cheese and stir until cheese melts. Simmer about 30 minutes, but don't overcook. Makes about 7 to 8 servings.

Back to my list of things I did today.  I served us a small amount of ice cream at my hubby's request when we arrived home.  I called and talked to Debbie C., my friend for over an hour.  She's such a sweet friend for putting up with me.  I made the soup...hubby wasn't ready to eat it yet.  He took a Tylenol w/Codeine for the pain and it made him sleep like a baby.  I ate mine, though 2.5 servings. I did the dishes and mostly cleaned up the kitchen!  I'm getting pretty good at this keeping everything thing done way of life!  This morning I did 1 load of laundry and now I must put them in the dryer!  I ran the Roomba because Sadie is shedding her fur everywhere!  I gave her a bath last night at 10:30ish that was the latest she had ever had a bath!  

I took her for a walk around the neighborhood!  She was barking and I was provoke to throw my shoes at her to get her to stop barking!  It worked!  She shut up until we were out the door!  I did not hit her with them, I promise!  She was so anxious to get out the door!

Good News:  I've taken her for a walk for 3 nights in a row!  Wonder if we will make it 4?

Last thing I did was make a quick run to Braums for Gary a malt and me one, too!  

Today's scripture:  "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."  Proverbs 9:10

Good night!
