It's Friday evening,. The house is closed up against the chill. dogs are walked and snoozing after their dinner.
The People Dinner this Friday is from Primo's Italian deli. Andrews' (oldest son) responsibility to feed us on Friday. He takes this job very seriously. I have been getting the 'Nonna', (which is the Italian form of 'Nana', term of endearment for a grandmother. Now as i have said to friends, "..... Nana?? isn't that the dog from peter pan???) any way... Nonna is an eggplant sub on wonderful crusty bread , spinach and roasted peppers. This is one of my favorite Friday dinners. a close second to the tuna salad from subway with all the salad fixings. love it.
Just a few minutes to reflect on the last 2 days then i turn computer over to hubby for awhile......
This past Thursday was marathon cleaning day. Once every 2 weeks i spend the day doing a stellar, over the top, as much as i can cleaning. Since i couldn't sleep I finally got up early Thursday morning and started chores... top of the list, KKK (Kitchen Klutter Kontrol). Once the kitchen is under control, the reward is to get the coffee going. what a wonderful smell. makes my heart glad just to smell the coffee. Simple pleasures.
Once hubby and sons have left for work, i can get both dish and clothes washer going.
After a few trips outside for recycling and trash, i pronounced it breezy but a warm breeze. Walking around the house, throwing open the windows. a great day to let the outside in. Taking advantage of the weather, the nice warm days will soon be over. with every in and out.... i don;t know what was better... the smell of coffee or the smell of the outside, now in.
it was a relief to have the windows open after the humidity of the past few days and taking advantage of a good house airing. By 2p.m. i was beat. a few errands, lunch, bills to pay. doing wash went on and on into the evening. After Every trip out and back, i was aware of how good it is to come in from outside and know the house looks and smells clean and fresh (except for 3 smelly dogs that need baths desperately). the lack of sleep caught up with me over Thursday night which turned into a good sleeping night.
No matter how tired you can be, dogs still need to be walked and fed. in and out early... I noticed the driveway is evenly coated with tiny Fraser fir (tree) needles. looks like the driveway has grown a coat of fur! Definitely much cooler. mid 50's as the high today. it was a sunny cloudy day.. and i must admit to sleeping most of it away. not so unusual after a few nights of no sleep then a day of marathon cleaning.
Friday night is usually a relaxing evening. Used to be movie night and i must get back into that again.
for now... scifi channel, NO wrestling please!!, movie on tv, reading and taking it easy.
Saturday is almost here. the last Saturday in October.
Have a warm cozy country evening.
