...HAPPY 4th of JULY...aka Independence Day...we'll be attending this party a little bit later today...such a cute invitation...
...I did a tiny little InstaCart pickup...surprising after not doing one at all last weekend...
...and of course sweet old Jack has to come in and check it all out...
...nothing really of note...strawberries are still on sale...and the vegan cream cheese was on sale for $2.99...I didn't really need any but I checked the date and it's good for several months...so I went ahead and got it while it was on sale...
...I baked a loaf of bread in the bread machine...which really must be on it's last legs...I oiled everything really well...and took the cover off so that I could spin the wheel manually if it got stuck...and of course I could have dumped it out at any time and just baked it in the oven...
...but it turned out perfectly...and I'll keep using the old bread maker...haha...the Man doesn't like the heel so I ate it while it was still hot with some Earth Balance and tea...the bread maker makes a delicious crusty end piece...
...and then I sliced up the rest of the bread for the week...
...I did a tiny bit of holiday decoration...I put out my little flags...and my favorite
July Porch Pillow...
...and our poor little yard banner is all tattered again...
...so we replaced that one with an exact copy...it's amazing how quickly they deteriorate in the sun and weather...
...the big "project" for the weekend was to clean out and organize the bathroom cabinets...I should have taken a photo of the drawers...but here's all the junk piled on top for sorting...we had 2 garbage bags of just trash...it's amazing what you can stuff into three bathroom drawers...
...I just used some old boxes to organize things a bit better and put everything back in place...it's so satisfying...
...this morning...after coffee I made the pasta salad for the picnic/party this evening...
...used my old Emmie to chop up some pickles...
...and onions and celery...
...added about a half of a jar of vegan mayo...
...and mixed it all up...
...now it can chill in the fridge until party time...
...I rode my bike late in the day...like after 8 PM...it's been so hot and muggy here...
...and I cut all of Kitten's nails while she was sleeping like this...I can usually manage to get one paw done while she wakes up and then I don't risk another until I catch her sound asleep again...haha...much less traumatic for each of us...
~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
You are so much better about telling a story about your day than I am!! I guess it must be "spring/summer" cleaning time as I've been doing much the same. See you soon! Love, K
