This week at StoneGable it is work, work, work on some of my upstairs bedrooms! Bobby and the boys laid hardwood floors in 3 bedrooms over the last couple weeks, and now I am working on painting, removing wallpaper and putting the rooms back in order. This 3 room project will take awhile. I am not a fast worker.
And I am not an "all work and no play kind of gal"... so I am off on a couple of fun adventures! Luckett's will be my first stop (that GREAT antique vintage store in Leesburg VA) and later in the week Evans Chocolates.
Evans is an old fashioned chocolatier. They make many of their chocolate bunnies from antique chocolate molds and use Wilber's chocolate...FABULOUS! It just would not seem like Easter if I did not make a trip or two to Evans! So I'm getting my Easter basket goodies and maybe something a little extra for me!
Just a quick update about the intruder lurking around my home last week... he was captured and is now in jail. He had a long history of criminal behavior. Good for our local police!!!

ReplyDeleteI think that crab salad for a Lenten Friday is a real winner idea, think we may try a lot of these ideas. You make dinner planning so easy with your amazing inspiration.
Thanks so much.

Yvonne, I can't wait to see your floors. I hope you have a great time on your holiday! Your menu is divine! My favorite is the hamburgers will all the fixings--haven't had that in ages.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest with my week that I know is coming up at work, it will most likely be: Monday, Taco Bell. Tuesday: Leftover Taco Bell. Wed: Campbells Soup..... etc. Oy! I dread this week.. I missed your post about your intruder. How scary. Glad that is over. Blessings, Barb
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yvonne, for your Monday weekly menu posts! Every Sunday after church I sit down to plan my weekly menu and your yummy meals help me get out of my sometimes very boring box! Also, I love the scripture that you share and the pictures of Israel! Our son is going to do some missionary work there for a month, so the pictures are exciting to see!
ReplyDeleteGod bless, kim
So glad you intruder is where he belongs. What a scary story. I know you'll love your hardwood floors, but I don't envy living through the experience.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting On the Menu Monday. I've brought some homemade Hostess Gift ideas.

Thanks Yvonne for stopping by my blog today.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of Kale in your pot.
I decorated my table on St.Paddy's Day with Kale.
The caesar salad and crab cake are calling my name! I'm so happy that your weather lets you grill out, we have one more week of rain before (I'm hoping) spring weather is finally here.

I've been dying to go to Lucketts! Your menus alway make me long to be a better cook. Your header looks beautiful, by the way!
ReplyDeleteYour menu for the week sounds wonderful. The Vietnamese dish really caught my eye. I can't believe how you get oall the painting, etc. etc. done and your blog. It's sure good your going out to take a little time to yourself. I was tired just reading about all you had to do. The vintage antiques store sounds like someplace I'd like to visit and Evans Chocolate sounds so decadent and delicious. What a fun outing to unwind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this fun linky party. I am delighted to join up.
Nann
I just found out yesterday that you are back to blogging, and I'm SO glad!
ReplyDeleteGlad they caught them! What an experience!
Sure sounds like you have a lot going on. I knew you weren't an all work kinda gal! How I'd love to go to Luckets (wonder if I could sneak that into a college road trip??? LOL!).
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
I've been to Lucketts once and loved it! Hope to get back this spring.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Yvonne;
ReplyDeleteThe thai-style eggplant salad is still coming up as the recipe for the steak.
Wow, your menu looks FABULOUS! And I am SO excited that you are back to hosting this wonderful link-up. I took a break from Nov-Jan when my computer was on the fritz and when I came back yours wasn't up and I really missed it. So glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteI am so late to link up but I only just found the time to post my recipe today! Never mind-better late than never!
Best wishes and thanks for having me!
