Tuesday 4

  Grocery Shopping

Hello friends and welcome to Tuesday 4 in honor of Toni Taddeo and hosted by Annie.

Here are some questions for you on the topic of shopping.

1.     Where do you like to buy your groceries and do you buy by the day, week or month?

We shop at Kroger usually once a week.

La Porte Kroger

2.    What foods would we always find in your kitchen?

Like most people, the staples of cooking. Sugar, flour, seasonings, etc.  We keep Marie Cavendar tv dinners in the freezer, along with ice cream and popcyles.  We keep some canned veggies in the pantry where you’ll also find coffee and tea bags.  We don’t do a lot of cooking these days, mostly we eat out or pick up an order.

3.Do you buy anything online and if so what kinds of things are you most likely to buy there?

I buy some household products on line, but not many.  Mr D still does our shopping and says he wants to continue doing that as long as he can.  He’s a tough soon to be 84 old guy.

4.    Do you shop with a list on paper, on your phone or do you just shop without a list and maybe come home with things you never planned to buy?

When I did the shopping I never took a list with me, I just knew what we needed - unless, I was baking something new, then I would make a list of the specific items needed.  Now that Mr D does the shopping he always makes a list.  We will sit at the table and make it together.

 Bonus question:  What will you be cooking in the coming week?

Not a thing!  We are hosting our quarterly lunch with the girls and their hubbies. Menu will be Pizza!  Pizza Hut will do the cooking!

 

The more positive your thoughts are, the more beautiful your world will become.

Monday Coffee Talk

7/26

 This morning found me Bible journaling at the kitchen table, right in front of that big window I love. The sunlight was pouring in like it had something to say, and my mug of coffee was close at hand.

As I sit there of course my eyes wondered to the street outside and all the people coming and going.  I’m sure they have places to be and people to see. As for me, I hope to take a trip to the porch and enjoy my coffee. Some folks chase excitement; I chase quiet moments and good thoughts.

We treated ourselves to a late breakfast at Denny’s, which is always a nice little outing. The weather was so pretty that when we got home, we sat on the porch awhile. Mr. D has been hard at work—cleaning flower beds, pruning what needed pruning, and getting the porch cleaned up so we can enjoy spending time outside. We’ll be putting out new plants in a few weeks, and I’m already imagining how pretty the new blooms will be.

Rusty’s home, and we’ve enjoyed catching up with him. I think he enjoyed catching up with us too—though he might deny it if anyone asks.

As for me, I’ve been dragging a bit lately. Honestly, I think my get up and go… well… got up and left. If you see it wandering around somewhere, please send it home.😀

I had an appointment with my pulmonologist, and he said I’m “holding my own.” Now, that may not sound like much to some folks, but to me it sounds like a hallelujah. Not worse is a blessing. He did add another inhaler for me to use as needed. I don’t love that it makes me shaky for a little while—feels like my insides are trying to do the jitterbug—but if it helps me breathe, I’ll take it.

And life goes on… quietly, steadily, and under the faithful watch of the One who never leaves us.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” 

Psalm 73:26

In quietness and trust is your strength.” 

Isaiah 30:15

Some days are big and exciting. Some days are small and ordinary. But every day is held in His hands—and that’s enough for me. 

Until Next Time
