just spent a lovely hour prepping for tomorrow’s staff holiday potluck…

cheated a bit and picked up a cooked chicken which I sliced up… put aside the bones for soup which I’ll make tomorrow night… 

then I made my famous spinach dip… well maybe only famous in my circles, lol…

doesn’t take too long to make, but it sure is tasty…

finished with getting peapods, celery and carrots ready to go along with the dip and two types of bread…

looking forward to all the other delicious components of the lunch…

woo hoo… the Olympics are on… I love to watch and have spent a good portion of the day glued to the tv…

they started early so I was watching rowing by about 6:30… enjoyed some of the men’s bike road race…

making potato salad and spinach dip for tomorrow’s birthday party for the 16 year old has certainly put a kink in my viewing, lol…

headed out fairly early to pick up potatoes at the grocery store and realized after I got home that I didn’t have any mayonnaise for the spinach dip… made the potato salad in stages, between the sports I wasn’t as interested in…

five pounds of potatoes… hope it is enough…

later in the afternoon I walked over to the grocery store and picked up the missing ingredient… also found fresh green beans and little cucumbers… so, for my dinner, had goldeye, a tiny bit of the potato salad, the beans and cucumbers…

very tasty, and easy, as I wanted to keep watching swimming and tennis…

finished the spinach dip and everything is ready to go…

present is wrapped, which took about half an hour to finish… 

and now I can focus back on the games…

bye…

fourteen…

started the day in the garden… two blossoms on the hibiscus and you can see what a beautiful morning it was…

the sounds in the garden were lovely, there were chickadees and goldfinches at the feeder, while the water was falling in the pond…

shortly after that, the nail guns took over as my neighbour was having his roof shingled, lol… caught one of the chickadees, which is difficult as they are very fast…

spent a good portion of the day getting the required groceries and making spinach dip and five pounds of potato salad for the big birthday party… mom loves the spinach dip, and dad the potato salad…

our oldest grandson turned fourteen… cannot believe that fourteen years have passed since he arrived in our lives… he is a lovely young man and George and I both enjoyed watching him as he has grown… George would be very proud… I know I am…
