The Weekend

Dandelion

Hope your weekend was a good one.  We had a thunderstorm with hail in our area last night!

Husband M and son K had really good (and free) tickets to a big soccer game downtown on Saturday night. M had 4 tickets and invited a good friend and his son along. It called for rain but they were lucky that night. And the game was fun and exciting apparently.

 I've been watching more TV since our digital channel problem got resolved. This program Chopped Canada has been on for awhile and I enjoyed it. They have well-known, knowledgeable judges (different ones per episode) and the competing, accomplished chefs are presented with 4 mystery ingredients from which they have to create a dish in 30 minutes. They have to do this for 3 different courses.  It's quite a challenge because there are always one or two ingredients (like mangosteen, or rabbit) which would stump the average person.  There is a ten thousand dollar prize for the winner.

My sister from Florida flew into town again with a friend.  We will attend the final 2014 North American Queen/Adam Lambert concert tonight.  That's what groupies do after all, attend several concerts of their idol!  Then she will take my mom south with her for about a month.  My mom (who lives with another sister nearby) has some dementia which is getting worse, as she repeats herself more and more.
