I had to push myself, but I got up and out of the house early to go to 8:30 am Yoga class, followed by 23 minutes of swimming laps. I went to Meijer, as usual, and then went home for lunch, all prepared to roast up some veggies tomorrow when it is supposed to be cold and rainy. I'll be roasting asparagus, 3 colors of peppers, garlic, vidalia, onions, red skin potatoes and broccoli. We already have the portabella mushrooms sauteed to add to the veggie mix.
I spent the afternoon alternating between bidding on ebay for Sofie's current favorite toy and doing gardening. I planted half a flat of wave petunias and 1/2 a flat of impatiens, plus the primroses. I managed to win one of the auction I was working on.
When the mail came, my new "memory stick" arrived. I can't believe how cheap it was, and it fits my camera perfectly and will hold 4 times the amount of photos as my old one.
I walked Rascal for a mile and put him through his paces. He is getting better and better at the "come" command and can go very far in the heel position as well. He isn't good at "sitting" or "down", but once in either position he will stay for quite a while.
Except for the Red Wings losing, everything was great. The weather was wonderful and we were spending a lot of time on the porch looking at our brand new picnic table and umbrella. They are going to be very useful this summer.
After the game, Barry helped Mac put our boat in the water. It was just then that it started to rain like crazy and the wind came up and a very dark cloud blew in out of somewhere. Luckily the boat now has a powerful new engine, so Mac could scurry over the lake and bring it into the dock. After that it rained on and off for a while.
I made a great 8 layer salad for dinner and we had brats, but we didn't grill them or eat on the new table as it was too cold.
We waited for Barry and Nancy get done with their errands and then they came over for dessert. I made an experimental dessert that we all loved. You grill pineapple slices and add a scoop of coconut sorbet. Top that off with caramel mixed with rum. They are called Pina Coladas and they are great. That won't be the first time that I make that recipe this summer either.
We all got our winter parkas on and went for the first boat ride of the summer with both dogs, under an almost full moon.
