Could you share Jeff's recipe for the Mexican shrimp nachos? We don't have any good Mexican restaurants nearby. We need to be sure and get to some while we're in Nevada (Lord willing) this summer.<br /> I guess that those space cards came with popsicles. Not sure if they came in boxes of popsicles or somehow attached to the individual ones we used to buy at the corner store.<br /><br />Glad things have calmed down at the beach. The problem with our ocean beaches as I mentioned to Vee above is that there aren't many of them, and they are easily overwhelmed by out of state visitors. <br /><br />You're so right about the problems with people being out of work. Things are going to open up slowly here. Three-quarters of the deaths in our state have been in nursing homes, and nearly all of the deaths so far were in people with underlying health conditions. Praying for wisdom for our leaders for sure!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-59367821764504364462020-05-09T13:51:58.863-04:002020-05-09T13:51:58.863-04:00Ok...

I am intrigued. I will have to research them. I have so many little odds and ends space related in probably every room. I don't remember ever seeing those.<br />I have to say Jeff and I had preQ become Friday night Mexican fans. IT was quick and easy and we rotated the many Mexican restaurants around town. However, one Friday night he made some Mexican shrimp nachos that was WAY better than any we had eaten out, so I told him that is his new Friday night job. He also makes a non alcoholic version of a Margherita for us. I guess you would probably call it a lemon line slush. Pretty good. <br />I think the first weekend the beach was way too crowded, but it seems to have calmed down. I think everyone was just stir crazy and needed to get out. Hopefully, we can get things opened back up, because there are going to be so MANY problems with people not earning a paycheck.<br />Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-5382586069548725102020-05-07T14:52:37.867-04:002020-05-07T14:52:37.867-04:00Aren't they?

You know that NH's coastline is very small, and people from our neighboring state to the south can't seem to stay away. Just read a newspaper article yesterday that reported droves of people at Hampton Beach last weekend. They said it was as bad as July 4th weekend traffic. That's not a place we ever go anyway, but you see the concerns.<br /><br />Yes indeed, yay for blooming flowers. We don't seem to be under a winter storm warning yet, but there is snow predicted for Saturday. Everything is indeed so scrambled. Upside down and backward. So thankful that the Lord keeps me on an even keel!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-90033533058067204742020-05-07T14:44:10.391-04:002020-05-07T14:44:10.391-04:00No, I think the Popsicle Space Cards were nation-w...No, I think the Popsicle Space Cards were nation-wide. (We are in NH.) Apparently they were made by Topps, like baseball cards. I found that out by doing an online search. I thought Sandy (Home Ec Major) in Florida might be familiar with them, since she is a self-described space geek.<br /><br />Oh yes, living beside a lake would make staying home a good bit easier. You stay well also, and thanks again for hosting!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-37091331175213790882020-05-07T14:33:03.709-04:002020-05-07T14:33:03.709-04:00Yes, we are at Stage One also.

We can't take them to the transfer station at this point, and the better things can't even go to Restore as it is not open. Both of hubby's retirement jobs are considered essential, so he's been working most of the time.<br /><br />I agree completely, you would not want to do anything that could waylay the planned knee surgery. I hope it goes well and he feels more mobile very soon!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-29942828300197174622020-05-07T14:28:12.139-04:002020-05-07T14:28:12.139-04:00Aren't vintage cards so much fun?

We're...I agree about things needing to open up. We're in Stage One (of 3 or 4 stages). On the other hand, we're still imposing physical distancing on ourselves for a little longer as DH is waiting for knee surgery to be scheduled. Neither of us wants to come down with anything that could cause that plan to be waylaid. Being a homebody, this stay home business has not really been hard, and except for it being imposed on us, life hasn't been drastically different for us. And DH's bum knee would have kept him home more anyway - even if we could have gone out and done anything we wanted.
