Daily Food Diary – Day 165 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

This is Day 165 of my Daily Food Diary.   It is also Father’s Day – Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there! 

AND, It is also the 6th and final day of our stay with son Dan. 

Tonight, Dan’s wife Amanda returns from her trip and tomorrow we head home.  It has been nice spending time with Dan and family, but I am obviously not focussed enough on my routine and diet to manage it well on holidays. I need to get home to get back on track.  

I took Molly for a good walk yesterday.  Good might not be the best word.   At one point we were walking along the edge of a road,  when Molly bolted through a steep ditch to go check out another dog. That was a bit sketchy, but I managed to stay on my feet and rein her back in, so it ended well enough.  

Presently, we are getting some quiet time as Dan and his family went to a Scout wind up for Lucas.   We stayed home to keep an eye on the dogs and start supper. 

I made a cabbage ramen salad yesterday and an apple strawberry crisp this morning.
Dan is firing up the grille and starting the prime rib.

Amanda is coming straight home with her friends when they get back.  Their husbands and families will meet them here and we will have one big  supper together, before they go their own way. 

Time to try taking Molly for another venture around the neighbourhood.  With any luck, I will get a few photos of the scenery around here for tomorrow’s blog.

  1. I love the flower photo on the bottom, Lovely!! I’m glad that your family had a nice gathering, Anne. My family is not nearly so tight. We are scattered around the country. Have a great new week!

  2. Beautiful lily, Anne. Glad to hear you were able to stay on your feet and rein Molly in on your walk yesterday. I hope your walk with her goes well today. Wow, that is going to be some good eating. Enjoy the remainder of the day and time with family.

  3. Thank you, John! My siblings and I are spread out. My kids and I take turns having issues. I think most families are that way in this day and age. Definitely grateful that we had this time with Dan and family. ☺️💖

  4. Thank you, Mags. Molly got past the dog today but had a weird run in with a couple of deer statues. 🤦 Fortunately, Dan drove around the subdivision to check on us and gave Molly a ride home. I had a nice walk and hopefully got a few photos worth posting

  8. I’m so happy that Molly’s “take off” didn’t result in an injury for you, Anne! The dessert looks delish and I’m sure the BBQ was fab! Safe travels home. As you make your way south, we’ll be making our way north. Wouldn’t it be funny if we passed each other on the highway? We’re heading up 6 tomorrow.
