The weather here has been so yucky for the last week. It is gray and cloudy outside. I haven’t seen the sun for days. The ground is slushy and muddy, and the rain just keeps coming. It’s not even pouring, it’s just like this continuous annoying drizzle. At first I welcomed the weather change, and found it cozy. I got a lot done indoors, like cleaning and baking bread. I finished a book I had been reading for awhile. I organized our closets. Now, I’m growing weary of the rain, and find myself spending hours in front of direct tv stamford. I have some books I need to return to the library, though, so I may get out in a little bit. I need to run by the grocery store and pick up some things for dinner this week as well. It’s just so much harder to do normal errands when it is raining outside. It is good, though, that we are getting rain. We’ve been in a drought off and on for the last few years.

It’s that time of year again when everybody will be in front of their TV sets. The Super bowl is finally here and I am sure that it will be a great game. I am looking forward to the halftime show as well as the funny commercials that are always on.

My sons are having a few people over to our house and I plan to have a few snacks on hand for them. I am sure they will enjoy them. Food is always a hit with the guys and I am glad to see them eat.

This Memorial Day weekend is going to be a lot of fun. We have plans for every day that include water, sand, cold drinks and good friends. We might even have a barbecue at the house and put some steaks on the grill. I bought a bag of charcoal so we would have it on hand, just in case. Of course, if I can get someone else to do the cooking, it is that much sweeter for my holiday enjoyment!

In the spring and summer, I like a bowl of cold cereal for breakfast. I try to eat a healthy cereal with not much, if any, sugar. The Raisin Bran is a top choice in my house. When we go grocery shopping, buying a box of Raisin Bran is on the standard list of things to buy. And we always have a jug of cold, fresh milk in the refrigerator.

There is a barbeque restaurant near the house and since it is so convenient, I decided to give them a try. They have a huge dining room which is always crowded at lunch, but for some reason there is plenty of room at dinner. Even son, I tried the drive through as I wanted to get home.

The menu was really comprehensive for a barbecue place. I decided to try pulled pork sandwich. I like mine wit coleslaw on it, which is an extra charge at some places. But this place lets you order it “Memphis Style” and they put the coleslaw plus a couple of sandwich piles on it for you.
