Ahhhhh, Weekend!

There is just nothing as good as ice cream after dinner on a Friday night, after a long, first week back after vacation!

It's been so hot here and everyone at our house is ready for the weekend! Bubba woke early this morning feeling feverish and whiney but a dose of motrin hidden in some chocolate milk has seemed to really turn things around (as a giant bouncy ball is chucked at my face while I sit at the table!). Big plans, laundry, groceries, afternoon Twins game on Sunday! I think we'll pick up some more sweet corn this morning and have some bruschetta chicken and sweet corn for dinner and of course, freeze the rest. Think I may run through Trader Joe's this morning too for a couple things...of course, this is all AFTER we go to Han's for a morning pastry! It's good to be home and relaxing! Happy Weekend my friends!

Corn, glorious corn!

There is something about doing the things that take me back to times spent with my grandma and grandpa! I stopped by a farm on Sunday and got some corn so we could freeze some and it was delish! We ate several ears on Sunday night and then more on Monday before I boiled up the remaining ears to freeze. I tell you what, this is the easiest thing to do, but it brings me such joy and comfort. Seeing those quart baggies all stacked up just warms my heart and makes me think of time after time, leaving my grandma and grandpa's when they'd send corn home with us to eat because it always tasted so great when they froze it. They'd send it home with my parents for us, send it with us to college, and even sent it home for Lane and I to have after we were married. It honestly makes me want to go buy more and fill my entire freaking freezer up with corn, just to open it and feel like I'm getting a big, giant hug from them every time I look! I know....I kind of sound like a freak with hoarding tendencies when I say that, but seriously, it gives me the strangest comfort!
