But let's start with a quick healthy lunch. So often when I get busy I hate to stop and take time to eat, especially if I am working outdoors. However, today I made myself go inside and put a quick salad together. Grabbed from the refrigerator.
Lettuce
Tomatos
Avocado
Green Onions
Red Kidney Beans
Artichoke Hearts
Pickled Beets
Real Bacon
And topped it off with High Priced, High Calorie Girard's White Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing (0n sale).
Sinful 120 calories (mostly fat) for one 2 Tbsp serving. To be more accurate - - - healthy before adding the dressing!
And then, a little bowl of Red Cherries for something sweet.
Most of my recent hard work has been outside. No surprise there! Still have a little more power washing of some of the sidewalks. Lots of clean up of weeds, downed tree limbs and leaves and tree trimming of what I can reach and with ladder. I will be calling a Tree Trimmer man tomorrow to trim the Cedar Tree branches over my garage. And, I still must get someone to clean the roof and spray for mold, moss and algae on the roof shingles. Plan to use highly rated Wet&Forget.
Two wonderful things happened this week that I must share with you. First, when I went to the Post Office to pick up my mail, much to my surprise, I received A Class Action Case check for $150.00! On many occasions I am tempted to NOT open each and every piece of mail. But, I won't give that thought any time in the future.
Second, and most miraculous is that a young man who is the son of the man across the street who occasionally takes my yard waste to the dump for me has returned SOBER and CLEAN following a year and a half relapse with serious drug addiction. I first met him a few years ago when he first became CLEAN. He is such a likable young man and I was so surprised and crushed when he relapsed. He reunited with an old girlfriend who is still using and moved away. He had been working with his father and is now back again working with his father. On occasion he and his father have done work for me. They attend the church across the street and there is a tremendous support system. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw him and talked with them on Tuesday. There were lots of big hugs and rejoicing. God is good !!!
Until next time.

I just ♥ the looks of your healthy and certainly delicious salad! Something like that is right up my alley! Very happy that you had a nice surprise with the check you received in the mail, and what great news that your neighbor's son is on the right track again!! Yes, God is good despite us not always seeing the big picture...
