Sunday was a family day. My daughter, Linda and her daughter
Sara came to visit along with Sara's babies. Owen is a
two and a half year old dynamo and Chandler is about two
months old. She looks a lot like Linda did as a baby, with
dark hair and eyes that I am pretty certain will be brown.
Look on facebook if you want to see the pictures.
It is becoming very hot. It is supposed to be 101 tomorrow
and we plan on the movies and the buffet afterward. Sometimes
you have to treat yourself.
I shopped at the commissary today. I was there by nine a.m.
because it is so very hot. All of us are trying to eat a
little healthier. I make a cottage cheese salad that is also
a great dip by grating an onion in it, grating some carrot
and letting it sit over night before serving. Tomato is good
added at the last minute. We ate this a lot when I was a
young girl because it was so readily available. My mother
made a lot of cottage cheese but the commercial kind is
tastier than the home made variety.
Groceries are out of sight. I shop at three different
grocery stores. Aldi's was very reasonable at first but
they have gone up a lot so I just shop there for baking
supplies, produce and milk and butter. And yes, I use the
real stuff!
groceries are outrageous! it's like a seek and find game, trying to feed your family without taking out a loan!
