If you have a can of beans, olives, and lemons you have what is needed for the bottom of your baking dish. Top it with white fish or in my case salmon with layers of sliced lemons and seasoning and pop it in the oven for a quick dinner with lots of flavors. That's our dinner for tonight cooling in the fridge until I have a handle on how many and when the family arrives tonight. Andy is off to OSU class and a visit to the OSU clinic. He has what he had two years ago and needs antibiotics which is what they gave him for a bad cough (like walking pneumonia) last time. Andy has a great immune system but this cough sounds really bad.
The pool closed yesterday and we are starting to take in the outdoor furniture. However, we are dragging our feet because it looks and feels like early spring on Cooke Rd. We have had steady gentle rains for three days and everything is lush and growing still. I have the back door open and the dogs are guarding it while they take their first nap of the day.
We are trying to get our plans in order for a Christmas visit to ski in Colorado. Well, I'm not skiing, but I am going to see our grandson graduate from Pike's Peak. That's just one event to plan for in the busy upcoming holidays. Alyssa and her mother-in-law to be arrive for the weekend November 10th to shop with Beth for wedding gowns for Alyssa's destination wedding in Italy. (We can't forget Alex's wedding in Cincinnati in April and she has her dress already.) All the Lechlers have a good time at weddings!
I have some alone time to cherish so I'm off to do some fun things since dinner is at the ready.
