Prompts for May 23 2024:
Do you have a morning routine?
I sort of have a routine. I like to be up between 6:00 and 6:30am. The first thing I do is turn on the Keurig. Then I put on fuzzy pj pants ( in the winter, my house is still cold at 6am) and a sweatshirt, wool socks and slippers. Then I make a cup of coffee and ready my morning meds. This is followed by 1 hour of blog reading or writing.
Other things:
We celebrated our great granddaughter’s 39th birthday on Sunday. Burgers, brats, potato salad, fruit bowl with homemade dip, veggie tray from the supermarket.soda, ice tea and soda. I didn’t get a single photo!😢 I can share the fruit dip recipe though. It’s from Beth @ thefirstyearblog.com.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 container marshmallow creme, 7 oz
- 1 cup cool whip
- Fresh fruit
I tweaked it just a bit. I only had 1 container of FF vanilla yogurt in the fridge, so I used about 3/4 of the marshmallow crème, a cup of Sugar Free cool whip and a drizzle of honey. Using an electric hand mixer, I beat it til smooth and that’s it. Ooh! So good!
Nobody wanted cake, so I sent 1/2 the angel food cake, 1/2 the strawberries and a container of regular whipped topping home with them.
We visited, sang Happy Birthday with her husband( in St Louis for work)and her sister in Vermont on FaceTime. We also played, Guess Who?
and several rousing rounds of Right, Left, Center with the Littles. Though I’m soon going to have to quit calling Joe, a little. At nearly 11, he’s almost as tall as me!
Tuesday night, the 2 First Grades at Miss B’s school had their music program.
I thought I could share the video her mon took and posted on FB. But she has it locked down to just family. But here’s the program. Sorry for the crumpled program, it was raining as we walked to the car afterwards.
That is a great quote!
ReplyDeleteWool socks are a must in our house in the winter, too! (I still pulled them on yesterday!) The birthday party sounds like a lot of fun. Yummy dip for the fruit! And hooray for a finished quilt that's in the mail - what are you working on next?
ReplyDeleteOoh - that fruit dip sounds good! Lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday party, and yum fruit dip sounds wonderful! I would have helped eat that angel food cake, or had it with my coffee the next morning, while reading your blog posts. ;) Love the binding on that quilt - and congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! That is a gentle way to start the day nice and cozy! The party treats sound so good and how nice to play games, etc. Beautiful quilt and how good it feels to get that recycling stuff out of the house and dropped off. I know the feeling.
