Out and About


Saturday I was feeling a little stir crazy.   I have been  house bound for five to six months except for work or doctors appointments. I wanted to go to the farmers market to pick up some veggies and out to lunch with hubby.   Gracie snapped this shot of me headed out the door.

I am still puffy and swollen from the chemo/steroids ...but I do my best to put on make up and draw in some fake eyebrows.   And my fake hair !    Yep this is me in my wig !   Bad Choice for this Saturday...it was super windy and cold.   I was afraid the wind would blow my wig off - LOL...sometimes you have to laugh at these things.  Gracie let me borrow her black boots with the fur...you cant see them very well in this picture, but they were nice and warm  It is nice we can wear the same shoe size.

After  the farmers market my hubby drove me to Breaux Bridge (nice little drive) to eat at Buck and Johnnys.   I love this place.   We both had the French Onion Soup and Spinach Salad.  My taste buds are still not working right - so it was hard for me to taste the Steens dressing on the salad.   It  was a nice day to get out - just a little cold and windy so we did not walk around the town and go into all the little antique stores.  I collect cast iron cookware...and you can find some good deals in some of the stores.

The trip wore me out and I slept for most of the afternoon.  My energy levels are not what they should be...but I know I need to get out and move when the weather is nice.

We did make a delish veggie stir fry for dinner....We are both trying to get more veggies in our diet.

His sweet sister Annette has invited us over for lunch on Sunday - she is an awesome cook, so I am looking forward to seeing her sweet family and then spending a quiet Sunday afternoon at home.  I have another full week at work so I need to plan some down time for rest.

Rant - it is Mardi Gras time in Louisiana and traffic is a bitch !
