Friday, Glad to be home!!!!!!


 I have been asking myself this for the last three days, while I sat in the back seat of a car getting thrown around.  Note to self, this is why your grandkids get sick in the car.

Sissie insisted on driving, so I let her.  Our neighbor had the other front seat as she is very tall, and I could not imagine her trying to cram her long legs in the back seat. 

It was a long trip. Over 20 hours in a car, but we accomplished the mission.  She was able to get her banking done and get her money out. But I am telling you never again. You guys just witnessed this, right? So, remind me when I go to do some crazy A$$ thing for someone else.  Like break their husband out of a rest home or take their cat to be put down or take a three-day trip across the border. I will never receive any blessings for these kind acts of stupidity as I complain about them afterwards. You need to do things with a kind heart and mind and mouth.  The mind and mouth I need to work on. But it is done!

I am home and working hard on saving money so I can pay a $3000 bill I have before the end of the year.  after this I just have, and couple of small goals and then the house taxes and one other larger savings plan which I don't see happening this year.  It will probably go into next. 

I went out this morning and picked a large bowl of produce from the garden.  I checked the chickens and only found one egg. It has been so hot that they have slowed down on laying. It will pick back up when the weather gets a little cooler.

I need to go out and pick all the blackberries before they fall off the vines.  I think I will have enough for a pie.  The vines come from the neighbor's place. I don't want them to go to waste. After I pick, I am going to seriously cut those dang vines back. They are lethal.

I have no idea if I am going to have Kelsa this weekend, I need to call and find out. Looking forward to a weekend of peace and yard work, maybe pie baking.  I need to use up some peaches I froze last year.  I will make a quadruple batch of crusts so I can freeze them for later.  Think I will call Sissie to come and help. It is so nice to have crusts in the freezer and takes all the stress out of making a pie.

The dryer just signaled so I had better get over there and get the clothes out before they wrinkle.

Have a great and productive day

God is good
