At least I think it has- it’s been above 60 for the last few weeks, so I took a chance and packed away all of my heavy sweaters and coats. I left out a few winter things in case it got a little chilly again because, really, you never know in Texas! It’s actually a little chilly today, but I think it’s supposed to rain. Nonetheless we’re still outside enjoying the weather! We’re hanging out outside on the patio playing on our laptops- I guess we’re tired of being cooped up in the house, haha.
The other day we decided that it has been so incredibly nice outside recently that we need to enjoy it more, so we went shopping for some patio furniture. First we went to Lowe’s because we still have some gift cards left over from Christmas and we were hoping to be able to use them up. We were a bit disappointed with their selection though- they didn’t have much, and what they did have was really expensive. Boo! So we went to the local Wal- Mart to look and see what they did have. We actually found several things that we really liked, but we didn’t have much money to spend on these kinds of items (we had been hoping to use gift card money on them), so we had to get the most inexpensive set that we could find. It actually turned out to be perfect for what we needed! We found a cute little set and it came with a small table, four chairs, and an umbrella. It fits perfectly on our little patio and it’s just what we need for now!
One of these days when we get a bigger and better place to live we’ll replace it with something nicer, but for now it’s just perfect!
Here’s the little set that we got:
And we promptly fired up the grill to celebrate the purchase of our new stuff! It’s the first time we have fired it up since last summer and we’re hoping to wear it out this spring and summer so that we can get a better one! :) hehe!
On the grill we had some squash, veggie burger for me, turkey burger for the husband, hotdogs (or should I say soy dogs? I dunno what they’re really called but they sure are good- the husband says they taste exactly like regular hot dogs to him!), some baked chips and burger fixins’ on the side.
“hot dogs”
Gotta represent with the whole grains!!
mmmm…veggie burger!!
LOVE grilled vegetables!!!
Baked chips- which really we snacked on while we were grilling. Neither one of us had any for dinner, LOL.
Some fixins’. Lettuce, tomato, onions, and cheese (pepperjack for me, cheddar for the hubby) for the burgers
What a great evening!!
I’ve got some pinto beans going in the crockpot for dinner tonight- we’re having cheesy rice and bean burritos- YUM!!! And plans for the rest of today include laundry, some light cleaning, and playing with the pups!!
Have a great Sunday!!
