Labor of Love

     I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

     I am training mentor teachers tomorrow , and on Friday I am looking forward to my girls, my grandsons, and my wonderful son-in-law being here this weekend for a visit.

     In preparation, I have been a spray painting machine.

     Even my cell phone has white spray paint snow on it. My mother would be proud.   I even used a surgical mask, because all of the young DIY bloggers wear them while painting.

     My glasses fogged up!

     I haven’t decided on my menu yet.  When I am undecided, I usually take my favorite cookbook (La Pinata, a McAllen Junior League cookbook) with me to the grocery store and prop it on top of my purse. 

     Yes, I am that woman who stands in the middle of the grocery aisle blocking the view. 

     The good news is very few people are at the grocery store when I like to go (between 6-7 am).  I am up anyway and McDonald’s opens at 6:00 and has great , normal priced coffee.

     Have a great weekend.

Ideas for Sunday supper-

brisket or rib-eyes, layered salad (lettuce, bell pepper, and green onions ‘iced’ with mayonnaise and topped with crispy bacon and grated cheese), my husband’s pinto beans, hash brown casserole, and garlic bread

for dessert- I may bake a cake- or cupcakes-

I want to see my youngest grandson eat a chocolate cupcake (or 2) with lots of icing.

PS.

However you labor, I wish you rest and relaxation. You deserve it.
