Chicken Thighs, Tots, Haricots Vert… Meeting our New Princess 👸🏻

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Another sunless day… boooo… ending in a burst of showers… the plants are happy… wind picking up once again… blowing fallen tree blossoms into little piles of delight against the curb… robins and sparrows busily gathering nesting materials… mama squirrel 🐿 absent once again… lots of parents picking up their kiddos from school via car 🚙 to avoid the chilly breeze 💨 


Breakfast today… english muffin and cottage cheese for the hubs with his hot coffee ☕️  English muffin and munster along with iced coffee🧋as we wait with baited breath for our son and DIL to arrive home from the hospital with their newest addition… adorable Princess 👸🏻 Veronica 💖 just three days old… we are both so thrilled and excited to finally meet this little bundle of joy for just a little while… masks on 😷  mommy, daddy and baby exhausted… needing naps 🥰


Dropping the hubs off back to his shop… working on his latest project… spending time chatting with friends… sharing the exciting news… Great Grandma Cynthia (Mom) so excited to meet this new addition to the family 💞


Off to the market 🛒 for some badly needed supplies… now that the shared germs 🦠 have been defeated… time to restock the fridge and pantry (side note… our well stocked fridge and pantry were able to sustain us for two weeks… unable to shop for groceries while battling the bug… it was a good lesson in how much to keep on hand)  Found a bunch of bargain bags in the produce aisle… tomatoes, plantains, eggplant (both Italian and Dominican) zucchini, cucumbers, a random kiwi (?) lime and single carrot…in with the zucchini, corn and peppers… picked up other veggies and fruits for us and Mom… a few staples… dairy… deli…and of course, ice cream 🍦 


Zooming home… kind of late… the hubs helping empty the car… grocery  unpacking… grateful for leftover chicken thighs from last night… fresh haricots verts and tots to fill our bellies… the hubs enjoying his post supper tea 🫖 with cranberry apple lemon crumble… mint chip ice cream for yours truly 🍦


Incredibly grateful for the gift of family… the arrival of our new little Princess 👸🏻 and the freedom of democracy we enjoy in America… keeping the folks in Ukraine 🇺🇦 in our thoughts as they battle for survival #peaceforukraine

Seeing our new granddaughter reminding us of the importance of vaccination… keeping her and her Great Grandmother safe to experience this very special meeting #GetYourJabOn  Although your vaccine keeps you safe… it also keeps others from becoming ill as well #GetYourJabOn  be part of the solution… mask up… and wash those germy hands 😷💕

How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
