Good morning, villagers ~
So glad that Harriet's DD is ok. What a nightmare situation for everyone.
I had to run to the grocery store yesterday because we received a surprise invitation from DH's family to supper on Saturday night with the theme of Cinqo de Mayo. No, no one in the family comes from Mexico, but they will use any excuse for a party!
We haven't seen any of DH's siblings for a very long time. Other family members had already said they're bringing tacos, refried beans, chips & salsa, Spanish rice, etc. I recently tasted a friend's version of Mr. Food's Mexican Corn Bread Salad and she gave me her recipe, so that's what we'll take to the pot luck. It can be used for either a main dish or a side dish.
Anyway, I was out of the pinto beans and sour cream needed for the recipe, with no acceptable substitutions for those in the pantry. Of course, I went into the store for 2 things and came out with half a cart full, but that was taking advantage of good sale prices like eggs for 99 cents, a prepackaged chopped salad, and a chicken breast to try a new recipe for supper last night. It was a nice quick trip to get me out of the house.
Today I'll do some desk work before going to the library for my normal Thursday shift.
We are doing final preparations for Summer Reading Program. Yes, hard to believe, but the kids only have 1 more month of school. Registration for summer activities begins Monday. We sign up families for 2 weeks and then the actual activities start on May 20th. Our kids had several snow days and at one point they were in danger of having to extend through the first week of June. The school was able to make up some days, though, so the last day of this semester will be May 31st. At the library the last half of May we will do a "soft start" with limited activities, mostly to give the families the summer calendars and let the kids get used to the idea of still coming to the library all summer. The real action will start June 1st and our children's librarian has organized lots of special programs.
Good thing we have a preview screen here because yikes my typing is bad this morning. Need more coffee!
