"Focus on the good and the good will get better."
Fridays sure roll around fast some weeks! This is one of them!
On Memorial Day, I joined other residents at the clubhouse for a potluck. It was well-attended by permanent residents. When our snowbird neighbors are here, the room is twice as busy. The food was good, and my eyes were bigger than my tummy. I did not eat all of the food on my plate...
I mentioned last week that there is a table set for our fallen soldiers. It is behind our 'hostess' as she read to us a short history of Memorial Day and why it is celebrated. When she finished, an echo taps was played, and grace was said. It was very moving.
It was all good, but I couldn't eat it all!
On Tuesday, I had lunch with my friend, Mali, at the new airport restaurant. It was good. We both enjoyed our lunches. I had my first Smashburger, but the best part of the meal was the crispy fries. They were SO GOOD!! I only ate half of the burger and half of the fries, but was comfortably full.
Wednesday was a lazy day, and I should have gotten something done, other than my one load of laundry. I've mentioned before that I am excellent at procrastinating. My bathroom is still waiting to be painted.
Yesterday, I went to Bible study at the church. It is the last one before our Pastor leaves for the summer on his much-deserved sabbatical. He will be missed! Last night, our Mas Verde Dinner Group went to Cheddar's, and we celebrated Sharon's birthday. There were seven of us, and I was happy to be able to use a gift card that I've carried around for a few months now, and kept forgetting it was in my wallet. Nice!!
Today and tomorrow... nothing on the calendar, so who knows what I'll get into!! Have a happy weekend, and thanks for your visit here!!
Peace and Hugs!!
"Matthew 4:4:
"But he answered, 'It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Your smashburger and fries looked awesome as did your plate from the potluck. Glad you enjoyed both outings along with your time with friends. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteYou had a fun week! Your smash burger and fries look very good, such a fun restaurant!
ReplyDeleteTry to stay out of trouble this weekend, I don't want to get any bad reports! :)
Your photos are great, Terri! You've had a wonderful week, for sure. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteTerri, your photos are lovely. What a great week. Thank you so much for sharing 😊 ❤️
ReplyDeleteOoooh, that food looks so good! Near my former workplace in Phoenix there was a burger chain appropriately called, "Smashburger" ... yummy. I remember their cheerful gal's greeting, "What can we start smashing for you today?"
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to go for breakfast after Tom's audiology appointment this morning ... but someone misplaced his ear pieces, so we have to go back this afternoon. No deli eggs and grits for the wicked. *sigh.*
Just to let you I am still leaving a few tracks here and there. This version of Covid is nothing to sneeze about. I appreciate everyone's prayers and concern. I have a long way to go, but I do believe I will get there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Been wondering how you are doing. Prayers continue. XO
DeleteSounds like a fun week with lots of good food and friendly people! I've never had a smashburger. Not sure I know what it is...I guess they just smash it flat? Is it still juicy? Sounds interesting! LOL. You look great in that picture! And so does your friend! And I wouldn't worry about getting things done...what's the rush? It's too hot to do much right now anyway...that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it! LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful week you enjoyed, though!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading about the things you do with your friends and neighbors. It sounds like it was a good week!
