We had a good Father’s Day last Sunday. Sean treated us to Chinese buffet. Unfortunately Brian wasn’t feeling well so he didn’t come up. But I was so pleased that Lauren and Liam still came up to celebrate with us (and a few birthdays with the extended family). It is so wonderful that she knows we love her and Liam and want them here even if Brian can’t come. Oh! And she still came even though she’d had oral surgery on Friday, removing all four wisdom teeth!!! What a trooper!

Food

I made the Lemon Poppy Seed Cake/Bars from Glenda Geoff’s cookbook, Around the Family Table Cookbook, which uses sourdough discard. It was really good! We used it instead of the frozen mud pie for the candles for the birthday celebrations.

We hadn’t eaten Chinese food out in years. Of course, we did not stay on plan though. White rice, white noodles, sugared and breaded meats but it was good.

Not Nice

On Tuesday I ended up with a UTI! Ugh! I have only had one of those 2 or 3 times in my life! Last time I took apple cider vinegar, several times a day for over a week to get rid of it. On Monday I’ll share what I did this time to get rid of it in about 2 days.

Fun

Tiffany and I are supposed to go to the water park with my sister and nieces today. We were supposed to go last week but ‘Aunt Flo’ showed up and kept us from going. It should be fun.

Our sunflowers have really grown! These are the tallest ones we’ve ever had!

Here is how much it towers over me! Albeit I am only five foot and a half inch.

I had to cut off part of my face to get all of the sunflower in the picture.

Well, that’s it for me today. I’m going to run. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Michael and I celebrate our 33rd anniversary tomorrow! Wow!

To us!

Until next time, God bless,
