Saturday Night- Date Night

I think tonight's post is going to be a ramble of thoughts-

1. the chicken salad from the other night worked out great- I took to work with me yesterday for lunch, had it for a quick dinner on my out to the roller derby then the rest for lunch again today.

2. yes, I just said the roller derby- Alyssa's girl scout troop went to try and watch a game (do they even call it that?) but it got rained out. It was totally crazy, and they didn't even play. What an eclectic group of people! I took a couple of pictures, but they with all the girl scouts and I don't want to put them up without permission.

3. my friend's adopted aunt passed away today after fighting the good fight. I think they had the funeral today of the woman whose house we are buying. And you know how a death brings back all the feelings from other deaths you have grieved from in the past. So I'm feeling sad tonight.

4. While I was out at work, hubby made dinner, a very good dinner. Steak & cheese sandwiches, home made french fries and funnel cakes for dessert! YUM!!

5. I made another very interesting connection via the Internet this week. I was googling some stuff for the new property and I stumbled across another blog- Sustainable Sakonnet and was really taken aback. Not only does Bill's blog have a similar name to mine, we use the same layout (I guess not a big deal; it is, after all, one of the typical templates- but it was a surprise), and we have similar ideas/ values. He talks more about overall "green" living as I focus more on the local foods- but it was so similar! Oh, and I didn't even mention that he lives in the next town over! So I shot him an email immediately, to which he replied right back, and so the connection began. Welcome to anyone who wanders over this way from Sustainable Sakonnet, please look around a bit and tell me what you think!

  1. What a good hubby to whip up a tasty dinner like that. Blogging is so much fun when you meet people with similar interests. My daughter just joined the girl scouts and they are getting ready to go roller skating too!!

  2. My posts are almost always a ramble or at least I think they are. I saw the roller derby in Providence when I lived in Boston and it is so much fun! Hopefully you guys will get to go back and actually see it some time!

  3. That dinner looks terrific. I think he's a "keeper." How wonderful to have a blogging friend so close by.
