We slept in this morning - it was after 6:30 before I got up to turn on the coffeepot. We stayed at Cindy and Elmer's way too late last night, but we sure had a good time laughing.
Dean headed to the garage fairly early. I did my morning chores, before I showered. I was trying to get done in time to set down and join our online church at 11:00. I was about half way through it (maybe a little more) when Haleigh stopped by. She wanted to borrow some vanilla. She decided to make french toast this morning and couldn't find any at home. I sent her home with a new bottle I bought in Mexico earlier this year.
She stayed and visited for about 30 minutes or so and it was nice to have that opportunity with her. I don't get to see her often enough. I suggested she and Misti come over to have hamburgers for dinner. After she left I worked on the blog for awhile, then I moved to the puzzle. My goal is to complete it today so I can have the table and desk back.
Dean returned at noon for lunch. While we were eating I saw our first hummingbird on the feeder outside the back window. I told Dean it was there. When he leaned up in his chair to look, the hummer must have seen him because away he went. I'm just excited one finally showed up. I hope there will be more to follow.
Cindy called to see what I was doing this afternoon - I told her I'm only working on this puzzle. I told her I was determined to finish it today so I can put it away. I have enjoyed working on it very much, it just takes up a lot of room.
When Dean returned from the garage he brought me two pieces of paneling we had left over from a lake RV project over 15 years ago. He doesn't throw anything away, but today I was glad he had it. It allowed me to put pieces on two smaller boards, and I didn't have to dig through the box of puzzle pieces anymore. That was a real plus, as I started finding pieces much faster.
Elmer called Dean and they are going to golf at 3:00. I texted Haleigh that it might be closer to 6:30 before we eat. Later, she texted Misti was home and hungry. She didn't want to wait to eat that late, so I told them we'd get together another night this week.
Cindy came over and helped me finish the puzzle. I left it out until Dean got home so he could see I really did finish it. Those boards sure helped get it done.

Afterwards, we visited for another hour or so. The hummingbird showed up again. When I told her it was there, she leaned up from Dean's chair and again it flew away. I think we need to move the feeder to a place we can both see it without moving. I gave her a piece of the carrot cake, and she agreed it needed more wet ingredient added. She thought the idea of adding a small can of crushed pineapple would probably work fine. It will be awhile before I try it, since we need to have something that isn't so sweet for a few nights, so we don't raise our sugar level too high. It will be back to sugar free pudding for a few nights.
Dean returned from golf around 6 or so. He turned the grill on, and I made the hamburger patties. While he was cooking them, I sliced an avocado and tomato. We used our Banderita tortillas to wrap the burger and veggies in. They were absolutely delicious. I still had a few Pringles left so we added those to our plates and it was a perfect meal. Later we had another piece of cake. We have enough for one more serving tomorrow night. It's too good to throw away, but I'll be glad when it is gone. Lol!!
It was 7:15-7:30 by the time we ate and I cleaned up, so I missed calling in to our evening church service tonight. Next week we need to plan better!
I finished up work on the blog for the previous two days and posted it. That was a good feeling. I had quite a few pictures to make changes to so it took awhile to get it all completed but it's worth it. I will enjoy looking back on these posts in the future, with reminders of good times an good friends.
