I Like Thurs #169

Last Thursday, the three of us joined the group at the Troy Senior Center for our monthly luncheon. We had chicken & dumplings, green beans & bacon, peaches, and a roll.

Of course we enjoyed dessert! We each got a delicious cookie and there were various ghiradelli chocolate pieces included in our baggy.

And there's always entertainment and this month we had The Nitpickers. They sang 60s, 70s, a little country, a little Elvis, a little Beatles .... so much fun and lots of singing!

I finished The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. Highly recommend it. It will keep your interest all the way to the end!

Can't just stop reading so I checked out The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton. If you recall I read Afterwards by the same author and thoroughly enjoyed that read. At the end of that book, the first chapter of her newest book was included. I read it and was curious about it. That "newest" book was The Quality of Silence and it took a little while for my library to get it in. I've just started it and I'm already into it.

So what did you think of that SuperBowl? We decided it wasn't all that super of a game but we enjoyed wings. I made them with Kosmos Apple Chipotle sauce, which is a little sweet & a little spicy. It was perfect for Mom & me. (I got it from my son for Christmas last year and you can find it HERE on Amazon. Get some -- it's really good!) I made a separate sauce for Fred of BBQ sauce mixed with Honey Mustard sauce, a little Worchestershire, a little brown sugar. I got a thumbs up for it! Mom & I also imbibed a little Prosecco Rose. I think that's my new favorite "fancy" celebratory drink! I really LIKE it!

This week my workhorse Bernina had a trip to the spa. I love how my guy picks up my machine right at the house on a Tuesday and returns the machine to my doorstep the following Tuesday. He shows my machine a little love and I get door-to-door service! Gotta LIKE that!

Our January snow finally melted away, even where the plow piled up mounds. Then yesterday we got about an inch, maybe a little more. It'll be a cold day today with a high of 26 and tonight's low 11 but then we're in for a warming trend and actually expecting RAIN this weekend!!! Then they say the freezing temps will return. We'll see how it all plays out. In the meantime, you can find me getting Mom to PT today, her hairdresser tomorrow, and sewing every chance I get!

In between sewing I'll check out what these fine bloggers are finding interesting with their I Like Thursday posts. Feel free to join me HERE!
