This last full week of June is proving to be a busy one. Yesterday, Sean took me to the grocery store (I needed him to lift the heavy stuff like 24 bottles of water and his help is great). That was 3 pm. I think I didn’t sit down again for an extended amount of time until close to 8! I made a quick and easy grilled chicken Caesar salad(love grilled chicken!) which called for fresh corn, which I used (I altered a recipe from a magazine I have). I then decided to plant three things in my soon to bloom lily garden. After I put the plants in, I started to edge the garden with my half moon edger. Brian came out and finished it, but he dug too deeply. I need to break up the dirt and get out the grass. Using that tool gives gardens a finished look.
Today is Brian’s Dad’s 86th birthday. Incidently, Ed McMahon passed away at age 86 today. He got his start in Philadelphia and just a few years ago was the guest of honor in a Memorial Day parade (I think) in my hometown. Ed and Dick Clark both lived in the same apartment complex (but in the 1950s of course!) that Brian and I started married life in-in Drexel Hill, PA.
Oh, I also went with Brian when he dropped his car off for inspection-there were about 30 other cars- some people (like us)waited until the last minute!
I was just watching ‘The View’ and I have the same measurements as Sherri*Shepherd before she started exercising! Oh well…hopefully I can get myself toned up a bit. I am sure she doesn’t do the gardening and cleaning I do. : )
Sad stuff:
There was a terrible train accident in Wash*ington, DC yesterday and now 7 have been confirmed dead. They said it’s the worse one in their history.
Update-spent the entire afternoon ripping out ornamental grass and planting other things here. That sick grape arbor behind this garden (the grapes are diseased) needs to come down!

I added some bird statuary here.
