My Friday

Today the sun never came out to say hello. And it started raining too. At work anyway. We have started to do a Cooking Group on Fridays and today was the second week. Other employees come wandering down wondering what is smelling so good. Last week it was waffles with fruit salad and fresh squeezed orange juice. Today was grilled sandwiches. The OTR and I do the group together. Makes for fun times. I am going to try and design a notebook to hold the successful recipes we do to make it easy to choose what to do each week. Also we can allow the patients to help us decide what we are going to make during our cooking group by browsing through the notebook/cookbook. I will probably use scrapbook paper to make a cover sheet to slide in the front of the binder.

Today the Activities people planned a Classic Car show with a picnic for the residents and their family members who come. The car show was still held, but I guess not many people went out there to check them out in the rain. I did take one patient out there before it started raining too much. I also managed to get a few pictures of the cars. But the picnic was moved indoors.

On the way home I decided to stop at Walgreen's after reading about things other bloggers were finding there for their fall decor. I did find a few things I wanted to get. Here is a picture of what I got. What fun! Now I need to get going on the decorating.

Joys for today...


-Seeing 2 deer grazing in the field on my way to work.


-Success with the cooking group.


-Making it to a gas station before running out of gas on the way home.


-Seeing deer again grazing in a field on the way home. This time there were 3 of them.


-Making it home safely. First day of rain is always makes for slippery roads around here.


What are your joys today?
