what up wednesdays

Just a few things I’ve been up to lately……
1. This is my 50th What up Wednesdays post!!! Let’s have a drink and celebrate!!
2. Elvira kittypants had to go to the vets last week. She was drooling everywhere and it turns out, she had a bad tooth and an abscess. Poor little girl got her tooth pulled and got 3 shots and was down for the count the whole next day. Now she is eating like a lil piggy and running around doing little cat things and she’s all better.

3. This past Friday was my mom and Mikey’s mom’s birthday. Yes, the exact same day. Kind of freaky. Mikey went to breakfast with his mom and sister and later in the day we went to visit my parents. We had a happy hour even though my mom is still not drinking. So we had a few without her.
4. We had a small crop of banana peppers from our garden. I bought a few more at the farmers market and got my amish girl on and canned some hot peppers in red sauce. I shared the recipe here last year. Seriously, you should try this stuff. So, so, so good on sausages or chicken. And with football season rolling around, it doesn’t get any better or simpler than grilling some sausage links (my favorite is turkey sausages stuffed with cheese) and to have a jar of these pepper rings to go on top. Love it!!





5. Speaking of grilling- we still don’t have one. I thought for sure this was going to be the summer we bought a grill. Well, it’s almost the end of August and no grill.
6. Check back later this week for a post (FINALLY) on my dining room table and chairs makeover! The post is a long one, but you just gotta see the before and after.
