On Ice Cream

 This meme is perfect as we head into June!  I will go with chocolate, how about you?

Shortage of restaurant workers

 Well it is that gardening time of year, this meme epitomizes the season doesn't it?  I do get a sense of well-being when I am outside in the fresh air, mostly weeding.   

My sister in Miami mentioned on a call that now things are opening up they are having a shortage of restaurant workers, even McDonald's is having to close at 3pm as they cannot find enough staff.  It seems people moved on after being laid off in Covid.  I think Canada will experience the same problems as we recover, we are a bit behind the U.S.

Winter Kale

 My friend S dropped off some winter kale for me.  It is kale that has bloomed over the winter, as opposed to a fresh planting which would be harvested later in the year.

I made kale chips with the leaves as I usually do and these days I cut the stems into small pieces and add them to a can of vegetable soup.  It boils for about 45 minutes and becomes a tender nutritious addition to the soup.

Paint Party Friday - Save the Date wedding cards

 Here is a 'Save the Date' wedding card that I am showing for Paint Party Friday.  It is done in alcohol ink outlined with a fine point marker.

We were trying out different designs to use for a wedding invitation suite for daughter L's planned wedding next year.  L has already chosen her favourites for a wedding invitation suite but I thought I would show some of the designs we are not using in my PPF posts.

 I would have to say raw onions how about you?  Yes we are back into the barbecue season!

Good One

 Sandra posted this one on her blog recently and I thought it was hilarious!
