Just Because

I haven't done a 'just because' post in a while, so I thought it was time.  They are similar to 'this and that' posts, which show the simple happenings of the week.

My son made some croissants, and I think it's safe to say that he has mastered this recipe.  It was his best batch yet.  I drizzled a little butter and blackberry jam on them.  Were they ever so good.

He also made a French stew.  It had such a unique taste, and the beef was tender.  I liked it so much that I had seconds, and some more the next day!

It's still a little early for Fall, but I couldn't resist picking this up when I saw it at the grocery store. 

My best friend called last week, and we talked for an hour!  It was good catching up with her.  She sees everyone more regularly than I do, as she lives close to my hometown.

My neighbor's roses are blooming like crazy.  They repotted them in an iron pot, so he thinks that's why they are doing so well.  She always has delightful things on her front porch.

I met my brother-in-law at the Chinese Restaurant last week.  I ordered the deluxe lunch special, which included sweet and sour pork, chow mein, egg roll, and shrimp and cream cheese wonton.  A coke is a must when I order Chinese food.  It was delicious. 🍚🍤  I enjoyed catching up with my brother-in-law.  I was cracking up at his face expressions when he was telling stories of the squirrels' antics around his house, and the amusing behavior of the raccoons when he traveled up north.  I do not like the squirrel, but I got some pics of one carrying on as he was sitting on the big pile of logs that my neighbor will use this winter for firewood.  For my squirrel-loving blog friends.

Hope this week is kind to you.
