Autumn has finally arrived here, and it is glorious. I love cool, crisp mornings and evenings and sunny warm afternoons. This weather is hard to beat. The leaves have not really started turning here yet, but I have a feeling they'll start showing some color in the next few days.
This kind of weather makes me want to cook and bake. I made dinner for a dad and two kids who recently lost their wife/mom -- meatloaf, mashed potatoes, California mix veggies, and brownies for dessert. I also took a jug of lemonade and a giant bag of snack bags of chocolate covered pretzels for school lunches. I hope they enjoyed it. I hope it eased their troubles for a moment. I hope it made a difference. I wish I could do so much more. I made two meatloaves and doubled the potatoes and veggies, and an extra pan of brownies - for us - and Steve loved it all. He's a meat-n-potatoes boy, for sure.
Tonight we will enjoy leftovers, so I don't have to make anything. My cooking plans for the next few days include making a pot of beef veggie soup with cornbread, Friday taco night, and maybe a nice roasted chicken for the weekend. I also have had a taste for my mom's no-bake cookies, but I'll wait awhile for those. I try to have extended times between making desserts for us, since we just don't need the sugar.
With my balance issues, I have started using a "rollator" walker in the house. It helps to stabilize me and provides a place to sit if I get weak. Hobbes, of course, has investigated it thoroughly and has decided he likes riding around in it while I push him. Silly boy.
Audrey is too long to fit on the seat, but I think she wishes she could ride around the house too. 😉
That's pretty much all that's new around here. What's new in your neck of the woods?
Glad that your rollator is working for you. Here in Canada or at least in my area they are just called fancy walkers. LOL. I like rollator much better.
