Rainy here and may be rainy in Hawaii. But as I recall last time it rained almost every day. It was still beautiful so I am not going to spend time worrying about it, as I can't change it at all.
I have two silk dresses to alter and I am done, with sewing until I get back. Then I will have to pack. I need to mail three bills before I go, and I have the chickens taken care of, with my daughter. Sissie will mind the shop in the mornings. I do need to go buy a much larger watering pan for the chickens, as the one they had was broken by the cold. Will do that when I go to mail bills late this afternoon.
My neighbor down the street called this morning and she is traveling and forgot to ask someone to pull in her trash cans. So, I ran down there and did that. It is very cold and windy here. I also brought in my cans and the neighbors cans. So, three sets of trash cans.
On my way down the block, the city sewer was working down a manhole. I just never realized how really small a manhole is, and now I know why Braunwyn always has to do this job. The protective gear alone is bulky. Braunwyn's had to be special ordered. After they are outfitted, they are lowered by a harness and a winch. B is tall with about a size 4-6 butt. Very tiny around, so she just fits better. Now she cannot go down until after the baby is born, one of the few good things about being pregnant, besides getting a baby at the end. Her boss knows but not the men she works with, they usually figure it out after the boss says, "Not Braunwyn for the third time." Okay something is up; she is the natural alternative.
I picked a dozen and a half Daffodils at the neighbors and then realized I was leaving so I would not enjoy them. So, I wrapped the stems in wet paper towel and sent them home with sissy. Sissy hemmed 9 pairs of jeans this morning. She is a peach. She really keeps up on the little stuff. I had another wedding dress come in yesterday, and two more booked in when I get back. It is that time of year.
I will have to rethink my packing if the weather is a little colder, have to throw in a few leggings and a raincoat and maybe a sweatshirt. There is laundry there so we can wash things. I want to keep my suitcase smaller if possible.
Made pancakes this morning for Sissie and I. I can freeze 6 of them for later. I am sorry homemade pancakes are just better than a mix. Flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, mix, add milk, oil, and a well beaten egg. Just plain old ingredients. The mixes although convenient are really not that much of a savings in time.
Okay, I cannot avoid the silk dresses any longer, must put a silk needle on the machine!
God is good
Kim
