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
Kim
We can remind you but you'll not listen as your kind heart takes over.
ReplyDeleteI need your pie crust recipe and a tutorial! I am 66 and have never mastered making pies. :)
ReplyDeleteYou had to go to Canada for her banking? Wow! Not anything going on here except work and heat. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteI am not understanding why you had to go so far for banking Kim? Because 20 hours driving in this country would take you to another Island. You surely do have the biggest kindest heart but probably need to learn to say No. It took me 60 years to learn this!!! Hope you have a lovely (peaceful) weekend Kim. xx
ReplyDeleteYou still did it with a kind heart my dear, so I am sure blessings will appear.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
You are such a sweet and kind person, Kim.
