Week of 05/17/21 - Last "Cool" Weather

Beginning next week the temperatures will be summer, humid, hot days. We always know that by Memorial Day, NE Florida is HOT and STICKY. We have really enjoyed the spring here, especially being able to sit outside at the River House and on our screen porch.
My blueberries are still green, can't wait to pick and eat them!
We went to the River House (Monday) and I brought brie cheese and strawberries. Beautiful weather again!
Tuesday, after AA went to OPJH for the FL State test, she and Ford headed to CVS and got AA's first Pfizer COVID vaccine shot! In three weeks, she goes back, so we are already thinking that we can start attending family events (inside) at the end of June. Just in time for our trip to Maine.
Wednesday, AA practiced her putting but her arm was pretty sore so not driving range practice. I managed to break my first pink bowl/plate of E-E's.
We ordered pizza from Mellow Mushroom and ate on our screen porch with champagne! Everyday is special with my little family!
Thursday: I worked at NGS. AA had her golf lesson. Ford made his delicious spaghetti dinner.
Friday: I worked a bit at home, spoke on the phone with Charlotte (Larry is still in the hospital), Pam Davis (her Dad passed last week) and my Mom. AA submitted her geometry "town" project and then practiced golf  (I tried). 
Ford made a new recipe he found on the Today Show - Egg Roll Bowl (by Joy Bauer). AA trying to remind me on how to chip!!
In the golf cart with AA's look of "really - taking another picture??"!!
AA does not have a mark from the COVID vaccine, but we always see the "dimple" scar from when she was little in China - have no idea how she got the small scar on her arm.
To end the week, and because I think of gardening, I bought new plants for my patio garden, visiting with Carolyn and seeing her gardening efforts in this Florida weather, seeing pictures on Facebook of my sister Terri's garden....
Imagine that your mind is a garden. Seeds can float in on the wind or be dropped by birds or be scattered in your garden by any number of things. But you as the gardener are responsible for what grows there. You have the power to water the good seeds, cultivate the good seeds, and pull out any weeds that come from seeds you don’t want.
How do you cultivate, weed, and water the garden of your mind? Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Whatever you give shelter and sustenance to in your mind is ultimately what will grow in your garden. You’re going to reap what you sow.
Egg roll bowl dinner (ground chicken/turkey):
Mushrooms:
Saturday: AA at OPJH FL State testing for Geometry. She is missing a one day NFJG Tournament at St. Johns Golf and Country Club.
I made a feta cheese quiche, including Carolyn's kale, spinach, bell peppers, onions and sun dried tomatoes:
Saturday "happy hour" at the River House with Kathy, Hugh, Maureen. The breeze was wonderful!
Sunday: We bought Wendy's burgers and enjoyed a few hours at Carolyn's (with Tyler).
New find!! Brand new barstools from Craig's List, originally bought through Wayfair. AA put one together, she is smart!
Last full week of school coming up!
