Daily Food Diary – Day 313 of 365

Today is Day 313 of my Daily Food Diary. 🤗

Yesterday was a nice quiet Sunday.  Dan, Molly, and I went for our morning walk around the neighborhood.  The highlight of my afternoon was making a batch of Snickerdoodles – my first ever.

Snickerdoodles

The snickerdoodles didn’t  live up to the hype in my mind, but a little cream cheese icing would probably take them up a notch.

Today we had a plan to go to Prairie Mobile to trade up our cell phones and then head down the strip mall to Chappy’s for lunch.  The day hasn’t gone according to plan – my bad. 🙄

I forgot the plan and made a big breakfast of fried leftover potatoes and ham & cheese omelets.   Half way through our walk this morning, I realized neither of us would be up for a restaurant lunch.

Granddaughter Maddy would be so disappointed.  She was born with a plan – and a plan is a done deal!

It started innocently enough when she showed up with a plan to go to McDonald’s for lunch, which morphed into a plan to make a list and go shopping for: a new coloring book & crayons, new panties, a new purse, and a balloon on a stick.

Nowadays, she is working on a life plan… education, career, lifestyle – it’s there,  written in black and white but set in stone. 

And, meanwhile Grandma can’t stick with the plan to go pick out a new phone and have lunch.  As much as I need a new phone, I seriously need a new phone case!  Both are about eight years old and my case is hanging by a thread (a dirty thread to boot 🤦).

  9. I hear ya on the phones. The other day I believe I was trying to do something when responding to you and Dwight I had to shut my phone down for a bit to see if it would stop acting up. I text my family group chat that I was shutting it down and just letting them know in case it didn’t start back up. 🤣😆 Super cute pics of Maddy. 😍

  11. I find that best intentions often go awry in retirement. Don’t beat yourself up over it, Anne. You’ll get to it another day.
    I have an iPhone 15 pro. I buy my phones based on their camera capabilities and so far, by comparison with newer models, I’ve seen no need to upgrade.
