Rain, Rain and more Rain - It was a wet Weekend

GR&DF, well - I am back from my three day weekend!! I did miss not blogging yesterday - and almost crawled over to the computer when I drug myself out of bed at 10:18am yesterday morning. That thought was fleeting with no followup - so I here I am once again this grey and wet Tuesday morning.

The weekend started on Friday evening with a large and delicious Haystack pizza - yea - no cooking and no dishes!!! My kind of weekend start.

The TV weather folks kept warning all last week of the storms that were to start pushing in over the weekend and so I decided I wasn't budging from my warm nest - but of course that fell through Saturday morning. I got up earlyish and started a couple of loads of laundry in our buildings laundry room and when that moved to the dryers and I threw in the next two loads - what a greedy laundry hog I was!! During the second loads wash - we Zoomed out to Walgreen's and then zoomed down to South SF to pick up breakfast......

ahhh, yes a breakfast of champions!! I figured a mini vacation deserves treats!!! I know - these aren't DD - but they are delicious!!! By the time we got back my first two loads were dry and ready for folding and then the last two loads went into the dryers - it worked out perfectly!!

Since it hadn't really started to rain yet - just very overcast and a bit windy - I was thinking ahead about what was I going to do for dinner.... we had talked about fixing a big pot o'chili, or a stew or even a roast in the crock pot...... I decided to chop up a bunch of onions...

... and browned up some meats...et voila a few hours later......


vat o'chili-licious!!! It was really pretty good - since I had never made chili before I was a bit intimidated in the end it turned out fine - we had delicious hot bowls of chili Saturdays cold and rainy evening - then for Sundays cold a rainy evening we had chili cheese dogs... and last nights cold and rainy evening it was chili-frito boats - at this point we are all chilied out so I have packaged up the rest and into the freezer it went for future cold rainy evenings!!

The rains came and went all day long Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Late in the afternoon on Saturday I looked out across the city as the blue sky had broken through and saw this....

I ran for my camera and caught the last bit of the rain bow - it was very fleeting and lasted only a few mins. Then the sky closed up and the rains started again.

I really had no big plans and only wanted to work on some stitching. I worked quite a bit on my Alphablocks, but also got going on an exchange piece. Here is a snap of the Alphablocks piece as it stands now -

I finished up the border and am now working back through the squares. I changed up the cart colour in Zebu as it is charted as brown and this is a really brown square already - so I used green apple instead. I will probably not work on this again until I finish up my exchange piece.

There you go sports fans!! I hope you had a great weekend. Thank you for stopping by and thank you for the for your nice comments!!!

Take care,
