Thursday Night

Grilled chicken and zucchini, brown rice, salad with fresh tomatoes, fresh green beans... supper was really good and pretty healthy to boot tonight. We've gotten into a pretty cool routine at least once a week this summer. We get home, Virginia fixes a salad, some brown rice, and maybe another vegetable. I get some kind of meat ready to grill (usually chicken or fish), slice and season some zucchini and put it all on the grill. I usually finish about the time Virginia is wrapping things up in the kitchen, and we thankfully sit down to a simple and yummy dinner. Another nice thing is that there'll be leftovers for probably two more meals... in some form or another. Who knows, some of that chicken and squash may end up in an omelet Saturday.

We took my car (96 Camry) and dropped it off at the shop tonight to get worked on tomorrow. It's actually running well, but the brakes are acting a bit squishy, and that's nothing to mess with. Plus, at 121000 miles it's time to have a few other things looked at. That's not excessive miles for a Camry, but that preventive maintenance stuff is invaluable. Sooo... I'm expecting to have to plunk down a chunk of change tomorrow afternoon.

Speaking of tomorrow afternoon, Virginia is going to the 25th annual Bay Area Women's Retreat at Day Break Camp this weekend. She always enjoys the time, but she's been so busy with her schooling that she'd just as soon stayed home this weekend. But, she committed to go, so she's going... that's just her.

Supposed to be another gorgeous day tomorrow. Can't wait!
