Snow on the mountains

We got out and did a short walk today. A view of the mountains in the distance. It snowed there in the last week. Tomorrow it is supposed to reach 80.

 Bill kept walking as I took the picture of the mountain. No one else out and about.

 This is the last of this weeks meals. Spaghetti, chicken and tomatoes with a good herb sauce.

 This is what our looked like. Notice the difference - the kit was supposed to include fresh basil leaves, it didn't. But that is okay I don't like fresh basil anyway. Tasted very good. The first time we've had any leftovers for a quick lunch. Three new meals coming on Thursday.

 OMG - I turned my back on them and look what happened!  Did they have a baby that grew up in a week?

Started a new puzzle this one will take me longer, much bigger. Also a Kincaid with water, clouds and a home.
Tomorrow we get our grocery delivery from Smith's. Wonder what we won't get or what could be a substitute.

Day whatever of staying home

Looked out the window this morning and saw that we had company. First ones I've seen since we've been home. They are so cute, as long as they don't eat our flowers.

We got this t-shirt one of the times we were in La Noria. Today was the first time I've worn  it. It turned into quite a project to get it on. Put my arms in and out through the arm holes and pulled it down. Hum...my head was still inside the shirt. Yanked again - what the heck - I do know how to dress myself - don't I?  Yanked and pulled some more. Have I gotten that old? Felt around with my hands and found neck hole on outside of the shirt. Well I know my head is supposed to go through there. Yank again - ah - making progress. Slowly my head emerged into the light. Thank goodness I can still dress myself. So what was the problem. Well when they made the shirt and heat pressed on the logo - the glue went through the front and glued it to the back. So I could get my head as far as Mi Peublo Querido and no further. Big sigh of relief.

 At 10:00 our time today there was NASCAR racing on our local Fox network. A picture I took from the TV. They were racing at Texas.

Except they really weren't - they were racing from home. Yep IRacing on TV. Better than nothing and it sure looks real. This is Timmy Hill he eventually won the race. The big name NASCAR cut drivers didn't do too well. Need to practice I guess.

Started another puzzle [finished it too] One of eight of the Thomas Kincaid puzzles. The round ones are fun.

 Had another Hello Fresh meal this is their picture of it.

This is what mine looked like. Baked brussels [didn't realize until just now brussels is plural] sprouts , garlic bread and chicken with thyme and balsamic vinegar sauce. Very good.My brussel sprouts got a little brown, well okay, almost burned, but just the outer leaves and the bread didn't get golden but was good none the less. Everything tasted good and we both enjoyed the meal. One more meal left for tomorrow.

We had a cloudy day today and late afternoon it started to rain out over the desert. Looking from our back yard. Tomorrow it is supposed to start warming up to the 80's.

Need to add a few things to my Smith's grocery order, it should be delivered Tuesday afternoon. Wonder how it will go.

Another day in the life of a captive

We are getting two meals a day now. Bill cooked breakfast and I cooked dinner. So much for getting rid of the 10 pounds I gained over the winter.  
I wish I could sleep later in the morning. Wake up around 5:30 but try and snooze until at least 6:30. Even going to bed at midnight doesn't help. It just makes the days so long...
Yesterday I drug out the vacuum cleaner and vacd the whole house. Also dusted all the knickknack shelves. Amazing what you'll do when you are bored. I haven't opened up my sewing machine yet but thinking about how to make my curtains with the materiel I bought in Mexico, for that room. 
Also worked on ordering refills of prescriptions. Some need to be ordered so can't get them until next week. 
Our Dish remote developed a mind of its own - had to call them. Felt kind of silly as it was my fault it wasn't working right. I had accidentally pushed the wrong button. Felt really stupid. But if it ever happens again I know how to fix it. 
Going to the bank the other day we passed one of the many closed casinos. 

the missing words are open - back and soon. 

We got our Hello Fresh delivery. Two chicken dishes and one pork. The pictures of how they should look when finished. 

The back of the card has the directions. Including what you need that isn't included  pots, pans, salt, pepper and oil. Step by step. 

Been working on this puzzle for a few days. Finally finished it this morning. I get real serious when working on one. Didn't even realize Bill took this picture. I'm actually happier then I look here. 

So cooked the pork dish last night. the instructions and the ingredients. 

Here is how it should look.   Took about 25 minutes from getting out of refrigerator to sitting down and eating. 

This is how it looked. Turned out very tasty. No left overs but both of us were full. 

This morning it was bright and clear out over the desert. Supposed to maybe rain this evening. Still pretty cool - for Vegas - out. In the 60's.

Still no baby chickens. 

Of the five new houses and one older home that were for sale all of them now have owners.  People are just moving into the one on the right today. 

Well now we are going to try grocery delivery from Smith's. Put in the order today, cannot get it delivered until afternoon on Tuesday the 31st. And they charge 9:95 for delivery and add a 3 dollar tip to bill. Be interesting to see how it works. Supposedly they have a few things that Walmart doesn't.
Another day has almost passed. I'm watching DVD episodes of The Closure. Forgot how funny it was.
