On Sunday

 

Plumeria

The plumeria cutting that M gave me is flowering for the first time.  Such a pretty pink color, too.

Daughter continued to unpack her boxes and find homes for her belongings.  I did some laundry, including some of the blankets and quilts she brought home.  We are not going to need all the bedding, but, I can use some of them for sofa dust covers, quilt backings and batting substitutes, and other projects.    

Other than that, it was a fairly relaxed day.  I made blueberry pancakes for brunch, with homegrown blueberries from the freezer.  Later, for dinner, I went slightly off the meal plan and made a pasta alfredo using a boxed mix, boiled a little frozen green peas, and cooked the frozen shrimp I had bought on sale last week, boiling the shrimp first and then, sauteeing them in some butter, garlic powder, and a little dried parsley flakes.  It made a delicious meal for two, with enough leftover for a brunch for one person, for about $8 ($1 for the boxed pasta mix; $5 for the bag of frozen shrimp, maybe $1 for the green peas, butter, milk for the pasta sauce, and seasonings, and $1 for the gas to cook the meal).  Daughter really like the shrimp and I will definitely buy it again, if it goes on sale for that price, again (it's currently on sale for $7.00; reg. price $7.99).   Afterwards, daughter put away the leftovers and I did the dishes. 

Sunday Dinner

On Sunday, I was grateful for:

- Another fairly cool day with highs in the low 80s
- Phone calls and emails from friends

- Working appliances

- Electricity and gas to power the appliances

- Chatting with my daughter and making plans

Sunday's joyful activity was relaxing.
