BREAKFAST ~ Baked oatmeal, filled with mixed berries, topped with that delicio yogurt and just a little milk. OH SO GOOD and HEARTY, which was needed because we went hiking! Yes, I said H.I.K.I.N.G.  

The SanJoseSalisburys live near ever-lovely foothills that are criss-crossed with some great trails. I missed the memo that told me to pack shoes suitable for foothill climbing, but I thought the backless tenney-runners would work fine – which they did. It was my aging, whacked-out body that suffered through the gradual incline. Huff, puff, sweat, sweat, sweat.  

Stage 1 … Starting out 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stage 2 … Lunch ‘n stuff

 

Home by noon, the kids ate chicken nuggets, but Gramma lucked out and snarfed down left over mu shu pork Lisa fixed Wednesday night. Another scrumptious delight.!  

While Abby attended pre-school and Maegan napped, the boys and I headed to the library and then to TOYS R US to check out the Legos. We finished up the afternoon playing outside on the tree swing and other fun stuff! Does this look like TONZ O’ FUN or what? I fully intended on being a swinger myself, but when I learned that Brayden once broke the branch, I totally chickened out! WHAT A GREAT DAY!   

 

 Stage 3 … Dinner

Hmmmm? Almost forgot, and how could I NOT remember Lemon Chicken? This SJS (SanJoseSalisburys) favorite is a dish Lisa served Andy their first year of marriage. And what was his response? “It’s kind of ‘lemony’.” DUH! It IS Lemon Chicken!! Now he and the kids LOVE it, and I am a big fan, too!  NOW I’ll bid one and all a final adios!  

And don’t forget Miss Ahhhh-ahhhhh-bbbbbbb-yyyyyyyyy!
