Happy Mothers Day

I got up early today to fix baked beans and potato salad.  Luke fixed barbecue ribs with my uncles recipe.  The sauce was good, but the ribs were kinda hard and had a lot of fat on them.  They weren't the best we've ever done.

I picked up my Mom and her boyfriend, and had them over for lunch.  My son and my granddaughter came over as well.  Got such cute cards.  After lunch, one of my step-daughters came over with her husband and brought me a lily that I can plant, and just let go.  Low maintenance, she said!  Works for me!  

Then I had some secret company that I was very excited to see!  So, I had a great day.  Oh, except for the spill!!!

I was reaching for the macaroni to make mac and cheese.  Of course, it was on the top shelf, Luke was busy keeping mom and Dick entertained, so I reached up to get the box.  My washer is in the kitchen, right under that cupboard.  Well, the box finally came out, it was open, and I lost a WHOLE LOT of macaroni all over the washer.  Some went inside.  Every time I tried to pick some up, some more fell into the washer!  Hey, thank goodness the lid was closed, or I'd have had the whole box in there!.  I picked up what I could find, then my granddaughter came in and said "Hey, there's macaroni on the floor!" So, I explained to her what a clutz I was, and we laughed about it.  Stuff happens!  I hope I got them all out of the washer before I do my next load!  What a day.  The sound of the dried macaroni hitting the bottom of the washer is still ringing in my ears.  Make kind of a tinny sound.  Hard to explain, but funny.

Have a great evening.
