Pros and Cons, Bday Meal, Yard Art

Pros and Cons~

There were a lot of CONS

living at my old home but

they of course cons that I 

had learned to live with over

28 yrs. 

Now at the age of 60 with

a major move, selling of

my home and purchasing

of my childhood home I 

am learning the pros and 

cons of being here. I just

have to learn to adjust to 

them so they become

my new normal!

Pro ~ my old home

was on a nice sized

lot. Narrow since I was

attached on one side to 

my neighbor. But it was 

long and flat. Shady, from 

the trees on the creek and 

ones I added over the yrs. 

Con ~ here at new place,

bigger yard, unused space,

and its on a hill. Pro to 

that is it is nothing a riding

mower can't handle and pro

my brother still enjoys doing 

it. 

In the past I have stated that I 

need to hire a photographer to

take my blog pics...

Proof, pic below.

Last Monday, the 8th was

my younger brothers bday.

I did not have the time to

get something done for him

however I did call him and sing

happy bday to him. Not sure

if that is something I need 

to do cause my mom always

did that for us. It might be a 

tradition she started that I need

to drop. 

However I decided that I needed

to cook bud a meal. Last 

night (Sunday) I made chicken/cheese

casadias. In Kim's it is just

chicken cooked with onion and

cheese. Mark's I added jalapenos. 

I fixed them up a dish of 

beans with cheese. Chopped

up tomatoes, a container of

sour cream, and salsa. 

A tradition I have cont that

mom did was every so often

she would fix Mark up 

some Mexican cornbread.

Got up this morning and 

mixed up two pans of that.

I will send one whole 

one and 1/2 the other to

Mark. I will keep 1/2

for me. 

Thought of making this for

him but I never replaced my

cocoa. I do  have a yellow

cake mix here at the house 

but then I would have to 

make icing so I think 

I have decided to pic

him up a snack cake and 

put a candle in it.

Check out my FREE

yard art!

Problem~ not sure where I will put

it though. Well when its free and you

have always wanted one you take and 

worry about that issue later!

Totally would have wanted

one older but this one is cool.

On the deck, 11 am Monday morning

the 15th. 75 degrees with a wind. Low

temps with low humidity in mid

June....not a normal but I will take it.
