An invitation came to work on a boat and I said yes. Sunday morning arrived with a knock on my door and next thing I know I was in Belmar. With a couple rags and a roller, I helped wax and paint a fishing boat. It was fun in a way something new and different can be. I got a free lunch of a slice of pizza and bottle of Sprite AND the promise of fish once one is caught. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday although I think I’d prefer to spend it on the boat on the water, but I suppose that happens later.

Mother’s Day spanned the whole weekend for my mom. I made dinner Friday AND Saturday. On Friday I made my famous halusky and on Saturday I made my famous skillet pizza with broccoli rabe and sausage. After my boat adventure yesterday, still covered in specks of cuprous sulfate, I gathered Lisa and Mom and we went out to eat at our new favorite restaurant, Rozmaryn’s in Trenton. This place has the most amazing Polish food AND the owner is so nice!

On Saturday I went shopping. I bought two green plastic Adirondack chairs from Lowes. It’s true I had four wooden Adirondack chairs that I loved but I gave them away last Fall. Looking back, I really can’t figure out why. At any rate, I have done nothing but miss those chairs and so I decided to go the cheap route and buy two plastic stackable ones. They look great outside my house. In fact, they look so awesome, Lisa bought two for Mom for Mother’s Day.

Now I just need to find plastic Adirondack ottomans!
