Menu Plan Monday 5/13/13

menu plan monday, 3-10

Our son graduated from college this weekend, and I had the honor of standing behind him in the ceremony and placing the graduation hood on him.  It was a beautiful ceremony because it included songs of praise and thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness throughout their lives and prayers that they may be blessed to make them effective servant-leaders in their respective professions.

With so many enjoyable events,  one event right after another, it made for a busy but fun weekend, and we were even able to attend a recital for the musically gifted daughter of some good friends the night before graduation.  Mother’s Day included lunch at Olive Garden with our children, grandchildren and the parents of our son’s fiancee, and after a little more visiting, we still got back home at a reasonable hour.  I hope your Mother’s Day was an especially good one!

 Monday: Chicken, sauteed okra & yellow squash & onions

Tuesday: Chicken pasta with H*E*B Marinara Sauce, salad

Wednesday: Chicken, mashed potatoes, & okra

Thursday: Talapia, red potatoes & green beans

Friday: Digiorno Spicy Chicken Supreme Pizza & salad

Band Memories

Our son is graduating from college this week which brings back memories of his school years, especially being in band.  He was in band from sixth grade through his second year in college and then for two years in a percussion ensemble.  I remember all the football games with the band playing at half time and the color guard flags decorating the field.  Then there were all the many band competitions and a parade or two every year.  We have so many wonderful memories!

Not Listless

So much to do and so little time!  Have you ever felt that way?  I have several lists going right now.  One for school, one for errands, one for day-to-day stuff, one for our son’s graduation party, one for our son’s wedding, one for the rehearsal dinner, etc.   Another list is a shopping list for everything else (not literally everything – I don’t have ceramic rods on my list).   My husband would tell me that I’m not listless.  Haha!  Hope you got the humor!

Disabilities

Do you know people who have disabilities?  Then you may know how much car lift deals, chair lifts, and other aids mean to people who need them.  There are so many things that have been developed throughout the past couple of decades that greatly benefit those with disabilities.  These things increase their mobility, help decrease the effects of their disability, and increase their independence.
