Family Time

Hi friends! What's the good word? I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend. I'm in Albany visiting my parents and am having a lovely time, as per usual. I arrived around 7:30 last night and was whisked away to a delicious meal at our favorite Indian restaurant. I ordered baingan bharta and some garlic naan. Yum. I was also served a vanilla ice cream cone once we got back. Its tough being here. :)

This morning, I rolled out of bed around 9 and came down to the delicious smell of coffee already made. Mmm... I also had a bowl of bran flakes cereal with a nanner, some raisins and skim milk.





Post some serious newspaper reading and contentious puzzle competitions, I got dressed and went out for a long walk. My war wounds are healing nicely and it felt good to get moving. I went to my favorite nearby park and perused the weekend farmers market. I was out for about an hour and a half.

I was soo hungry for lunch when I got back and made myself an egg salad sandwich with 1 boiled egg, some light mayo, brown mustard, curry powder and black pepper on a whole wheat sandwich thin along with spinach and tomato with an apple on the side. Hit the spot.



Snack this afternoon consisted of some prunes (yum) topped with crunchy pb. So tasty.



I ended up getting pulled into weeding and pool cleaning by my parents this afternoon and it actually felt good to get out there and do some physical labor. Its hottt out there though. I'm more than ready for a shower...grossss...

I think we're making a special meal this evening and I plan on documenting with my momma. I'll be back!

I love days where you get to wander forever! They're so leisurely; I hit up a farmers market as well, picked myself up a skull mug from a local potter- definitely not standard, but it's brilliant!

Have fun cooking with your momma! So happy your bod is on the mend and you're starting to feel good doing things, it must be such a relief! (PS have you heard of The Morning Benders? I think you'd be into them!)
