Busy. Busy weekend and I was almost dead!

Oh my, were we busy, and a lot was accomplished.

I will start with Friday afternoon in which it took me another three hours to get Aunties meds filled and only managed to get one of them, and I am still miffed, but it was the one she really needed.  The other I can pick up later this week.

Husb and Sissy worked for a good four hours to make a pathway in the area where the larger garden will be.  I entertained Auntie and cooked something...no wait Sissy cooked a lovely fried shrimp dinner, with asparagus and artichokes.  It was so good.  I cleaned up the mess.

Saturday. Sissy was at my House, and I had Auntie ensconced down my basement with TV tuner to watch her favorite programs, while Sissy and Husb worked on our side yard.  I cooked and got two desserts made for the St. Patrick's dinner and this took a good four hours. 

Pistachio baklava and a four-layer pistachio dessert.

 I do not know what we ate for dinner as all of us were just too tired.  Leftovers, I think.  I spent the night at Sissy's to get a head start on the setting of festivities. 

Sunday morning, I was up early and Husb came up with his mother's China and silver to set the table for eight.   I should have taken a picture of the table; it was Martha Stewart worthy.

When Sissy got up, she watched Conference on the computer, and she was very sore as was Husb from two days of grueling yard work.

She began to cook at noon when I ran to get burgers to go for all of us as thinking about making lunch was just too damn much and this is why I spend so much eating out.  Need to work on this.  The corned beef just did not smell right and after it came to a boil it was horrid.  So, we threw it out and ran down to hill to purchase more.  I said an arrow prayer and our prayers were answered.  When we entered the store the front meat case was empty, and it was terrifying...to the back meat counter we went and nothing, and then we spied three points in the butcher's case and that was the last he had!  And it got better as we forgot our cell phones and would have had to pay full price, but we were honest with him and told him we had bought them elsewhere (cheap) and he took pity and gave them to us for the sale price.  Disaster averted!

Sissy made a key lime pie and wonderful Irish soda bread.  The meal was a true success, and we had a very good time.  The Irish coffee was so good, and I wanted another but did not dare! Husb and I cleaned up as Sissy was exhausted.  I stayed the night again to finish put and take the next morning as husb was getting his hair cut and then coming up the hill to get his mother's dishes and I wanted Sissy's car to go to the dump.  She really did try to drop a house on me, but I miraculously survived.

I was really dragging and so was the Husb.  We did get to the dump, but not before I hit a large curb next to the house with Sissy's car and tore a piece of trim off her rear passenger door! (This is because Sissy tried to drop a House on me) I just took the turn wrong.  Now this will be a thousand dollars that I will pay for out of pocket, because what small body repair does not cost a thousand dollars!  If I reported it our insurance would just go way up as that is the way of the world now.

 WE then took Sissy's car back and retrieved ours and came home to unload dishes and silver and started on my laundry.  I did three loads and binged watched YOU TUBE!

Husb was not hungry, and neither was I, so we scrounged dinner, and I was in bed by 6:30 and slept well until 5:30 this morning.

I have a ton of ironing to do, and many household chores that I am behind on, so that is plan of attack for today.

May head up to Sissy's later but am just not sure.  We will have burgers and French fries for dinner tonight and I am going to make a big salad for the week.

Now I need to get dressed and get to work!

Hugs;
