April Adventures - Day 22


Today I dove into the lemons John picked up for me the other day. I had been wanting another option for something to drink so he picked up lemons for lemon water/lemonade.


I also went through a bag of things my grandma gave me yesterday. I'm so excited to make these! I loved them as a kid, and I had asked her for the recipe a while back. She had thought she lost it but came across it one day! That's my weekend goal as I'm out of brown sugar and may need to get shortening unless I can substitute butter since I have plenty of that.


She also had some yarn that I needed for a baby blanket I wanted to make for someone. Look at the size of this skein of yarn! I put my hand next to it for a size comparison.


I also made myself a pancake with fruit for lunch. After using this syrup recently, I realized it reminds me of the Karo Pancake Syrup that I had as a kid.


I wanted to enjoy some of the sunshine, but since I've burned recently, I made sure to apply some sunscreen. I read a book and enjoyed my water while waiting for John to come home. We spent a quiet evening together, and he made me a delicious steak. He has gotten so good at it. This might have been better than the last one, and that was the best yet! My grand plan for the evening was to watch some Star Trek and work on the blanket.


But I forgot about my grand plan and ended up watching YouTube while I worked on it. I've been watching some art channels, and now I have this urge to making some sort of art piece. Oops! Haha, I do need to do a coat of paint on a basket I have so maybe that will satiate this creative desire. I'm not much an artist to begin with. At least in the paints/drawing sense. Now it's time for some ice cream and bed!
