— my little corner of randomness —
We decided to sell our boat and our jetski. I was impressed with how quickly both of them sold! But in a matter of a couple weeks, we have one less jetski and one less boat.
It's a little sad, but we can always get another one some day if we decide we want to. We just don't use them and so they just sit there costing money. So it was time. But there's lots of other things to look forward to this summer…like all the new neighbors and the pool! 🙂
1. Simply Lemonade
2. Sleeping all night last night
3. Wearing my most comfortable and new favorite pink shoes
4. Fishing a book
5. Chuck got me a present! (A book!)
Here's yet another Let's Dish meal. I think (for your sake) there is only one more meal to post that I haven't yet from this batch of meals….Hmm….There may be two. 🙂
Anyway, I was a bit skeptical about this meal because it had peanut butter in the sauce. I am a little weary of meals that have peanut butter in it. But we made it quite spicy and you couldn't even tell there was peanut butter in the sauce.
Here are a couple pictures:
You could add peanuts to it at the end. I chose not to add them, but Chuck put them on his meal.
YUM! I am going to have to make this again soon. Just looking at the pictures again makes me hungry!

One day last week, I went out to my car and got in, and drove away…just like I do every morning. I drove about a block and noticed a light was on in my car. I thought it was telling me a light was out. Nope. Tire pressure monitoring system. So I stopped. Then I saw that it said, in big letters in the middle of my dash, “TIRE PRESSURE TOO LOW”. Crap. So being the smart person that I am, I drove back home. Of course, in doing this, I ruined that tire and any hope of patching it up.
There was a big screw in the tire. I must have gotten it on my way home last night. Then it sat in the driveway and deflated overnight. This was our second flat tire in a year from the construction in the neighborhood from building houses.
So I stayed home from work and Chuck came home at lunch time to help me take it off. We did a little research and decided to get all new tires on the car. They would have needed to be replaced soon anyway. But still….it's never fun when you have to buy all new tires. Ugh.
And a follow up…last weekend, Chuck's truck had a nail or screw in it, too. So that's 3 tires that needed to be fixed in a year. Yikes!
Thankfully the truck tires had a warranty on them so they patched it for free. You had better believe that we went ahead and got the warranty on my new tires. They aren't even close to being done building houses in the neighborhood!
1. Looking through baby shower games and finding some fun new ones
2. Blooming flowers
3. Burgers for dinner
4. A walk after dinner
5. Chuck told his mom the exciting news
This is our flowering crap apple tree we planted last year. I was so excited to see all the flowers on it this year. When we were at our old house, we planted a flowering crabapple in the front yard and it took it until the week we moved out to flower.
So I was pleasantly surprised when this one flowers. Granted, this one was bigger and more matured than the last one was. I still worried I wouldn't get flowers.
It was this gorgeous for a little over a week. Then they all blew away. Bummer. But that's ok. This tree was the first to flower of our plants. And I love those first flowers that tell you Spring is here.
This was the tree I talked about yesterday that we moved. We decided it was just too close to the house. It's in a much better place now.
Now I am checking on all my other plants everyday looking for blooms. (And some have!) It's about as exciting as it sounds…kind of like watching paint dry. But when I do see a flower, I am giddy the rest of the day! So it's worth it in my mind!
We also put screen doors on the front and back doors this Spring. It's so nice to open the door and see out the front and let some fresh air in.
We did a little more planting over the weekend, so I'll get some pictures taken of those plants (when it isn't raining) and share!
