Good Morning Alice and all who may come by:
I agree with the yuck on the weather as of late. It sure affects how I feel, and how much I want to do.
So surprised that you got your passports back so quickly. Did you do that at the post office? Hubby's expires at the end of next month. We are going to NY for our anniversary, and the quickest drive is through Canada, but I thought we would have to loop around Lake Erie since he had put off renewing. It adds over an hour to the drive, and is fine if we have to, but if he can get it back quick enough, maybe I should "encourage" (nag) him to get it done after all. hmmm, something to talk to him about.
Today I am reading a book my friend gave me. It's called "A Man Called Ove". When she and I were downtown at an Art event, we saw that it had been made into a movie and was coming to our theatre that shows independent films. That gave me the push to actually start the book so we can go see that in November. It is a good day for reading.
Not much else happening around my world. Hoping to have a weekend at home so we can get some pre winter things done.
I really need to do some menu planning as well. I want to send my college son some money, and that will need to come out of the grocery budget, so if I menu plan using mostly what we have here, I will be able to be a little more generous to him. We have only seen him for about five minutes (met up with him to give him a rent check) since he moved to Indiana for school. He isn't really that communicative, so sometimes I get to wondering about him. He is really self sufficient, but sometimes I think he takes to much on for himself. I still want him to feel like he has a support system.
Had some over ripe bananas, so I quick made some muffins. I use a super easy recipe. It is about 3 mashed bananas and a yellow cake mix. That's it. Mix them together (no eggs or anything) and bake as directed for cupcakes. I usually sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar before baking. This time I threw in some peanut butter and about a half a bag of chocolate chips instead. Easiest and quickest recipe ever, and they turn out great.
Guess I should get to the rest of my day. Menu planning, a couple of computer things, reading, and finding some way to get a little exercise in.
Have a wonderful day ladies! Hope it's sunny where you are!
Pam
