Today is National TV Dinners day. Wow, does that bring back memories. Swanson TV dinners on metal trays with chicken, corn, mashed potatoes. What a treat. Then microwave ovens came along and the trays changed to plastic. I haven't bought a TV dinner in years, but those early meals seemed like a special treat as they weren't made at home. Now what we make at home is special. I think that is an improvement.
Today is also a happy day for me and my family. My Mom is closing on her new home here. She won't be moving up here fully until her home in Florida sells, but we are several steps closer to that day. We met with a contractor and picked a paint color - Dover White, that she is having the inside painted. They are doing some minor repairs and will have the home all ready for her hopefully soon.
As a result of all our preparations for Mom, my poor dinning room chairs are sitting in pieces waiting. I have all the material and foam. Now I just need time. We are also painting the upstairs bonus room and home office in preparation for replacing the 22 year old carpets. Since the home office is under tarp we have our computers on the kitchen table. We are currently eating on trays in the family room! Mom has been a real trooper about the disruption. The carpet should go in on the 25th and sanity returned by the end of the week when all the "stuff" gets put back in their place. Then, back to the chairs. I may be willing to say my timing was a bit off on starting this project. Sometimes the spirit just moves you.

Oh boy! It's time for some yacht rock. Grab your favorite boating attire, maybe your first mate, and come out and enjoy the evening. We will be enjoying the sounds of The Doobie Brothers, Ambrosia, Christopher Cross, Looking Glass, Seals and Crofts and so much more. It's a chill night to drink with your pinky out, if you choose. Think of it as a 4 hour cruise to nowhere. No cover. Open to everyone.
*Disclaimer that I NEVER thought I would have to make - There is no actual BOAT. We are not inviting 100 strangers to actually "set sail" with us. The yacht is imaginary. Those of you who joined us last year may remember the group who showed up all mad because they thought we were leaving Port Yulee for lands unknown. Don't be those people. LOL
