Dancing Monday

Hope you all had a nice Easter.  Family here was a bit scattered this year.  Danielle and family went to the in-laws, as did Jack and his brood.  Darla is fighting off strep throat so they stayed home.  We made swiss steak, mashed potatos and corn here.  It's was delicious.  You could cut the steak with a fork.  That hubby is a darn good cook.

Had the funeral for Sherry's mother-in-law today.  A very nice affair.  Helen was 89 and a sweet lady.  Loved to make cookies to the delight of all.  This was the first time I've ever attended one where they had a luncheon right at the funeral home.  They have a wonderful little social area right there. 

It sure is dry out there.  Almost whole state is under a fire stop.  Of course, that's when things happen.  A fire was quickly brought under contro in Peshitgo (where they had that devastating one at the same time as the Chicago fire).  Then the city dump in the city to the north which was quite a good size.  Took a few depts and hours to control that one.  Lots of heavy smoke and smells whipped around by the wind.  yuck!

Tonight is DWTS and I hope Donald Driver keeps up the awesome moves. 

Have a good night all.  Hugs to you all.

  2. Your meal sounds devine. Was the swiss steak made with tomato gravy?

    We are under the no burn warning here too.

  3. We desperately need rain. I'm afraid this means a long, hot, dry summer.

  4. Hi Terry, as I mentioned in my comment post I don't get pings when folk post so I thought I'd pop along and see if you had, maybe I have to keep renewing the 'subscribe by email ' bit, so I will. can I borrow your hubby, as that meal sounds delicious. We too are a bit dry in the South of England, a little rain yesterday but not near enough and dry to-day. I think I'll blog about it

  5. We barbecued for Easter and even the day after...that's a thing the warmer weather brings that I look forward to every year! I'm glad that the funeral went well. We've had many red flag warning here but fortunately not much has come of it...I hope it won't become an issue that stretches into the summer. Have great day my friend.

  7. It's very dry here as well. We have had a several fires. Easter was very nice here. Instead of ham we had corned beef and cabbage. How traditional!
