Wildflowers in the Wildflower Garden
@ Work
Highlights of the last week includes sharing a belated birthday lunch with daughter-in-law, Christy (her birthday was in June), taking a nature drive and having breakfast with daughter-in-law, Angie, and enjoying a movie night and making pickle pizzas for Patrick and Amber and the grands.

To make the pickle pizzas, after making the crust (crust recipe can be found HERE), I simply topped each pizza with a half-jar of Bertolli alfredo sauce, sprinkled with garlic powder and dillweed, added a layer of dill pickle slices (spaced out...not too heavy), topped with Parmesan and mozzerella cheese, and baked at 450 degrees until the the cheeses were melted and starting to brown and the crust was done through.
Dill Pickles
I also made jalapeno and chicken pizzas for those that don't like pickles. Same process, only no dillweed and substituted jalapenos and canned chicken in place of the pickles.
Jalepenos
Canned Chicken
The jalapeno and chicken seems to have been the overall favorite, but both pizzas were very good with unique flavors.

Yesterday, after meeting grandgirls Abby, Gianna, and Mary for lunch in Pittsburg, I went to Home Depot in search of replacement arms for my ceiling fan (one broke while I was trying to clean the blades...which, by the way, I did not find) but, before leaving the store, I ended up buying enough paint to repaint my house and both sheds. Hopefully, can get a few repairs made and the house painted by late summer or early fall.
The Grandgirls and I
I hadn't been to Pittsburg for nearly two years, but, since I was there, I decided to shop Aldi, which I used to do on a regular monthly basis. Anyway, the savings were phenominal! I got everything I went for, plus some, and spent about half what I would of at Walmart. I have GOT to start making the effort to get things turned around and start shopping at Aldi again in future.
