Around the House with Tuesday 4

I already did an earlier post, but since Annie has been kind enough to carry on the Tuesday 4 torch, I'll do another. Thank you, Annie.

Around the House

1. Do you have any pets? What kind of pets do you have? Photos?  I have had many pets over the years and rarely just one, but currently we have only Daisy, a 10 lb. diva of a Toy Poodle.

My daughter took this photo a few years ago.

She was trying to do her hair and Daisy was

jumping and barking and wouldn't let her be.

So she picked her up and sat her in the sink.

Daisy was then happy.

2. Do you have a weekly menu you plan out? Would you share it with us, or perhaps a short list of meals you make often? It gives other people ideas!  Tonight I am making 50/50 sliders. They are normal sliders, but I get the 12 pack of Hawaiian rolls and I make half as turkey/swiss and half as ham/cheddar. I don't have a recipe. I just look it up on Pinterest if I need some hints or ideas.

3.Where do you do your grocery shopping? Do you like that store or do you go to others to fill in the gaps?  I am all over the place for groceries. I go to Walmart for household supplies, paper products, packaged foods, drinks, and deli meats and cheeses. I go to Giant Eagle for produce, the frozen dinners Tim and I like to take to work for lunches (Walmart doesn't have much of a selection), seafood and some other meats if they are on sale. If Giant Eagle's produce doesn't look good or they are picked over I will get produce at Aldi's. For meat I usually go to one of two local places...Nazer's Grocery and Bardini's Country Smokehouse.

4.  What kind of house do you live in or is it an apartment. Describe it. What changes would you make to it if you could?  We live in a manufactured home that we never expected to be permanent. It was a quick solution to get us settled by my mom right after my dad passed away. But then life went on and the kids grew up and here we still are. After 25 years it is home. It needs some remodeling and I really want to add a large family room on so we have room to have the whole family here and thanks to the generosity of my biological father, that just might happen this year.

Now, since I did a pretty big grocery shopping trip after babysitting the grands for a bit this morning, I'm going to go finish putting everything away, do up the dishes, and throw some laundry in the wash. Gosh, but my days off are super exciting. Ha! 

Have a great day, friends!
