My husband designed our new garage(25 X 30). The carpenters (5 men) started the project 3 days ago. I’m totally stunned. The walls are up and enclosed, they installed two doors and the windows today and built the staircase for the little apt. that is going to be above the garage. They are just about ready to start on the shingles.

We made lunch for the crew today. My husband grilled top sirlion burgers on the grill. I made coleslaw and baked beans. Today was also my first attempt at southern cooking. I made sweet potato pie. I made one with and one without pecans. I got a thumbs up from the crew on my pie. I was glad they were edible since I didn’t have a backup dessert.

Mom and I were so busy getting thing ready, we didn’t eat lunch. We just weren’t hungry. I know, I know, when you are trying to lose weight, you’re not suppose to skip meals. I’m my own worst enemy when it comes to my weight loss journey. I made sure I ate at 4 pm and was careful not to overcompensate for skipping lunch.
