We slept in this morning, more unusual for me than Del. My eyes seem to pop open with the change in light, not to say that I don't sometimes go back to sleep. This morning I slept until 8:30.
Nothing much to talk about, unless you like to hear about laundry, fridge cleaning and such like. I also made a grocery list and took two naps. Woohoo!
We are so excited that Mark and Sandy will get here on Tuesday for a few days. I have my fingers crossed and prayers sent that the Cloud of Iceland will not put a crimp in any of the travel plans we all have. I know they don't want to get stuck in Lithuania forever after such a long trip already, we don't want to miss Rhodes and it would break our hearts if Rosa missed out on this beautiful country.
Speaking of Mark and Sandy, the post about Vienna sausages reminded me of potted meat and canned corn beef. Did your mothers turn either of those into a meat salad sort of like chicken salad? We occasionally had deviled ham, but I think that was more expensive. I haven't had any of those for years, but deviled ham sounds pretty good right now.
I have to ask Mark how his family pronounced Vienna sausages. We said it with a long first /i/ at home, but when I went to school, I learned that "town people" pronounced it like the city.
I also recall that Del came home to report that Mark ate a bologna sandwich in a little diner in Akron with mayonnaise on it. MAYONNAISE I'm saying, and the bologna was sliced almost an inch thick. I always said and spelled boloney, of course.
We had a fun Skype with the kids. Rosa had spent the night with Sally and LeRoy, lucky girl, and had come home with a series of hats her mother and Aunt Stacy had worn. She modeled them all and looked so cute. I know she had a great time.
Have a good week!
