Goodmorning everyone:)


It's really warm here again today and don't feel like cooking so I think we will be having sandwiches and soup. Just haven't decided on what kind yet!

I would suggest an oatmeal & goat milk soap with sandwiches.:p:D:p
 
DH and I are attending a wedding this evening - so we'll be eating whatever is served at the reception.

Have to think of something yummy for DS and the Sitter. Our old sitter is coming to watch him - He LOVES Hannah, and we haven't seen much of her since she is done with college and has a real job!
 
I am going out tonight and am so excited! My friend Ellen and I are going to a wine and appetizer tasting first....then we are being taken out for a nice steak dinner by Ellen's BF and his friend. Yes, it's a fixup! I haven't dated or even tried to meet anyone for a year, so it will be fun to go out and at least have a conversation with a guy.
 
Blt Mac N Cheese!
 
meatloaf, and mashed potatoes/ DH is loking forward to a home cooked meal tonight.
 
Dinner cruise on the Wisconsin River with Prime Rib - FREE for DH and I!!!!We haven't had dinner out together except Pizza Hut with the kids in a couple of years!

WPS (Wisconsin Public Service) is sponsoring it. The company I work for is a MAJOR customer. (Aren't we all...) Anyway, 3 of us at work and our spouses were invited. I was supposed to be at the FD tonight, but they get enough of my time so we're skipping out to go!

My mom is up watching the kids so we can - yeah!
 
That is great Janet! I have only ever been on one dinner cruise...and that was back in 1993!! It was a lot of fun....but then, again, it was in Cancun! No matter...you two will have a great time just cuz you are enjoying each other!!

They are their rolls, but they seem to have a lot of yeast...really heavy...I think they are actually sourdough, but we call them yeast rolls because they are so fluffy yet heavy... :D
