Weekend Activity

I'm heading to my grandparents house this weekend for a short visit till Sunday. They live in Rolla, Missouri which is 4 1/2 hours away. I haven't visited since Christmas so I thought I needed to go now before the summer gets in full swing.
I bought this paper flower kit to keep me busy on my visit. By the end of the weekend, I'll have some fresh, spring flowers to brighten my cubicle.




















I'll let you know how they turn out when I get back.

This was something new for me...making dinner. I don't cook but last night I decided I wanted to try. It turned out pretty good even though my guest was 35 minutes late so everything had to be zapped in the microwave. But isn't it pretty?
I skinned the whole bag of carrots and steamed them. I never eat peas but I thought they'd be pretty so I warmed them up. I sliced some Havarti cheese to go with the wine before dinner. I also warmed up the garlic bread in the oven being careful not to burn it. It turned out nicely. The wine...Rocca Delle Macie 2002 Chianti Classico was wonderful, dusted off since it had been laying in the rack for so long waiting for a special occasion.
I designed my dinner. I'm glad I had gotten these new white plates for Christmas last year. They looked nice and clean. This was the first time I have eaten on my kitchen table I got 2 years ago that is really an outdoor patio set from Lowe's.
