Food prep

 Usually on Sunday's I do some kind of food prep for the week. Sometimes I work on breakfast items that I can put in the freezer and other times I'll make a casserole that will cover several meals and also put a few in the freezer for later. 

On this particular day I was working on breakfast.

I made McGriddle muffins. These are made with pancake mix and you add sausage, cheese, maple syrup and I can't recall what else.

I also made breakfast burritos. I always put frozen potatoes, cheese, egg and sausage in them.

Four of them ready for the freezer

Dinner was an easy french bread pizza. I used half a loaf of French bread and ate one part and used the other for my lunch at work the next day. 

Way too early for me.

 When the parade was over I headed to Walmart to do my weekly shopping. I wandered to the back where their lawn and garden section is. It was filled with Christmas decorations. First I see this Fall-O-Ween display and then right past it there was Christmas

It's September. I don't want to shop for tinsel now

And can someone please explain to me why you would want a 6 pack of beer hanging from the branches of your Christmas tree?

I think this one might qualify as the stupidest ornament I have ever seen.

Another fair come and gone

 These days I don't spend any time at the fair but there is one thing I won't miss and that's the parade. It goes right by my house so how could I not go out and watch it.

I didn't take as many pictures this year as I usually do but here are a few highlights.

I used to work with the guy carrying the American flag

The local high schools marching band

From a funeral home

more marching bands

There was one more but apparently I didn't get a picture of them. They were the only band who marched in uniform too.

Rain was in the forecast for the day and thankfully it held off for the parade. It did sprinkle a little at the end but nothing that made us run for cover.

Playing with AI

 I did a little playing with simple selfies on my phone. I did these in my phones text app. You give it a picture and a tell it what you want for the picture.

First I said dress me up for fall and it gave me this.

I like the outfit and it even gave me a little bit more hair in my pony tail. 

The next one was supposed to be a glamour photo shoot. I'm not sure where the glamour is in this one

The third and final one I said something about putting me in the great pumpkin Charlie Brown.
