TGIF!!!

Finally Friday

It was warmer on Friday, but still with low humidity. Nice morning! I went to Ten Yen for lunch and got the usual. My fortune cookie read, “Courage conquers all things; it even gives strength to the body.” Not that inspiring, but at least it didn't call me an old crab!

The afternoon walk was a little more uncomfortable. It really was heating up!

Back home after 5:00 p.m., I worked on the computer, planning the weekend, while listening to the news. I took a break at 6:30 p.m. to go outside. I checked out the vegetable garden and saw things were really progressing nicely, so I took some pictures for you. You should click on the first one to get the full effect.

I chatted a while with my neighbor Rick, who was replacing his pool liner. It ripped over the winter. I gathered it’s a pain, but as he said, he got 10 years out of it, so he can’t complain.

Back inside, I put a two pound bag of baby redskin potatoes on to boil. I need a few for dinner tonight and have plans for the rest over the weekend.

I processed the photos while I waited. When the littlest ones were fork tender, I drained then and spread them on a half sheet pan to sort. Meanwhile, I warmed up the last two onion sausage.

I ate the onion sausage with deli mustard and all of the smallest (the about the size of a large grape) potatoes. I buttered and salted the potatoes and ate them whole. Excellent dinner.

My friend B___ called and we talked for a while. Then I switched on the 1934 movie, Treasure Island, starring Wallace Beery, Jackie Cooper and Lionel Barrymore. I watched one more taped show after it ended and then went to bed.
