We have been busy....enjoying one another's company and getting around. Alan and Lisa have their places to go and things to do. Thursday was one of those days. We did have the contractor come to measure the front porch area so it will be refinished to a flagstone finish. We began to chat and he is from Rhode Island, grew up in the same area as Dennis and of course frequented the same haunts as we did. What are the odds of that. The work will be done the first week in October.
Yesterday it was off to Carefree for lunch and shopping.
Meet Beulah. Oh my how Denny hated the "skull people" and he always said when I die you can have one in the house.....so here she now lives sitting in her chair and holding an empty pot. Alan and Lisa also found a cactus that we will plant today. Yesterday when I moved one pot in the garden I found
yes, a Praying Mantas and he is still in the same pot this morning. I wonder if I can convince him to move into another pot as I did have plans for this one. In our yard the critters always have preference. For now I will not bother him.
When Alan arrived he mentioned he wanted me to make some fresh baked bread. Okay I said, my recipe takes 18 hours to proof...he was not impressed and on Friday this arrived
and last evening we made a delicious bread and as you can see only a little is left. Today we make a French loaf. Tonight Alan will make a shrimp recipe and we will enjoy dipping the bread in the sauce. Plans for today...I am not really sure. We do have some planting to do. I just go along and enjoy the ride and the company.
Right now it is coffee time.......so, I will say how nice it is to chat with you and thank you for your kind words and most of all your friendship.

Um, I might be with Denny on the skull people, but I am glad you like her!! ;) And Alan likes her?! Have a super day!! :D
Aren't praying mantis' beautiful?! We had one a few years ago on our patio furniture. He hung around for days. They are such funny looking creatures. Sounds like you're making the most of your days during the visit!
Having a bread maker is such a bonus Grace, I couldn't do without mine. I use it to make the dough and then take the dough out, shape it into bread or rolls and then let it rise for a short time before putting it in my oven. I prefer the bread baked in the regular oven rather than the machine. I hope you enjoy using yours.
Sounds like a nice "take it as it comes" kinda visit. Cool
I will cast my vote against the skull people. Sticking with you Dennis!
Also the homemade breads are so yummy. Kenny likes making breads from scratch...of course his are GF but are quite delicious. Enjoy 😎 xo
So great to read that you are fully enjoying your time with Alan.
I agree with Denny on the scull lady. Sounds like you are enjoying your visit with Alan and Lisa.
Freshly baked bread is delicious! I have a favourite recipe that only takes 20 minutes + an hour baking time from scratch, but I want to try out more.
My husband does not like anything which watches him! So my beautiful cat head cushion is now in my son's room where it can't look at my husband!
Hope you enjoy your fresh made bread, what a great gift.
Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread - enjoy
