What is Everyone Doing Today?

I got up early and went to Amber's and we ate breakfast. I came home and started baking. I baked a sweet potato casserole and two deep dish 10 inch pies. One is strawberry rhubarb and the other is black raspberry. That is all for the church dinner tomorrow after church service. I also baked a 9 inch peach pie and 4 little pot pie sized blueberry pies. I have a big crockpot full of chuck ribeye cooking. I took the chicken off the bones for future chicken enchiladas probably sometime this weekend. I made a great big batch of sandwich spread and had Amber come and get it for them to eat as the men have been working on their pond. I did save out enough for me a couple of sandwiches to have with my iced tea for lunch. I did one load of laundry. I have the dishwasher running and I washed up the stuff that wouldn't fit. Now i am ready to rest for a bit. Izzi has beat me to a nap, lucky girl. What is everyone else up to today? It sure is nice out, but now I a too tired at least for right now to go out and enjoy it.

I've decided that since you do so much home cooking, I'm going to move in next door to you, Sue, and get myself invited over often (or at least on your list of people you donate food to.) lol

What a crazy day. I was out planting the last flowers and DH brings me the phone, it's a good friend and I tell, Jan, I'll call her back in 15 minutes. Finish the flowers and call Jan back. Talk for 5 and DH wants some help planting tomato and watermelon plants, will call Jan back. Done planting and call Jan, DH comes in and asks if I want the stuff that I painted to stay outside, a storm is coming. I tell Jan I'll call her back. Run outside and save the painted "stuff". Call Jan back. We're talking and I'm looking outside and the wind is picking up and it is getting really dark. Look at the pontoon boat and see that something isn't right, holler for DH to take a look. Wind has pulled dock over and pontoon in danger. Tell Jan I will call her back. DH gets his waders on and I go out on the dock as far as I dare to hold pontoon lines. The wind is blowing and it is thundering, DH in the water and me on the dock! Get it all done and the rain starts, we race for the house! Call Jan back.........call waiting chimes in but I ignore it, she's been interupted enough! We did finish our call, just took a while to do it. Dang!!!! The sun is shining now! Kathy G in MI Go Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I know you are having a ball!!! I have been so busy today. I have been in town 3 times today. Our town fair is coming so I went into the store to get fair tickets for the grandkids.. They are almost half the cost if you get them ahead of time. I bought a hundred bucks worth. They can go and ride until their hearts are content. Some of the rides the parents have to go on with them so it takes more. It sure brings back wonderful memories of when our kids were little. I have been getting extra things ready for Larry to take south. It is so much cheaper buying it here and sending it down. Our son, son-in-law and another guy are going down tomorrow for the weekend, too. They are taking their 3 young daughters, too. I made up some cool goodie bags for the girls. They will make a fire and make somemores, too. They will have a ball. I sure wish I was a mouse... I am looking for a quiet evening when Larry leaves..

Worked today. We had a dinner at work for Mother's Day, fried chicken, potatoes & green beans, corn, broccoli salad, rolls, macaroni salad, potato salad, mac & cheese, fresh apple slices and strawberry cheesecake. All very good. Nice, semi-busy day, but not horribly so. Came home and me and the kids took out all our old junk, old paint cans from when we first moved here to this house and what the previous owner left, 2 microwaves, a treadmill, old bookcase (that someone picked up while we were still moving stuff out), two broken dining room chairs, an end table, several computer terminals, an old monitor, Lauren's old daybed and mattresses, old broken Christmas tree, etc... The city is coming to pick up this stuff tomorrow. They do it once a year. The guy who came to look through our junk and who took the bookcase, helped Alex move the treadmill down to the road. We three were struggling to get it out of the front door so he came up to help. Nice, huh? Someone else came by before that but I don't think they took anything. Tomorrow and the next day I get to finish painting Alex's old room, clean it up and then work on cleaning up the garage. I've had my car sitting out the last few days and I'll be glad to be able to put it in the garage at night. It was chilly this morning with dew all over it, took forever to clear the windows so I could see out of it. Oh, and my dad called while I was at work to wish me a Happy Mother's day, so when I was on break I called him back (he had left me a voicemail messsage), got a text from an old friend and one newer friend, for the same reason. Came home and the kids had a card waiting for me. ( : Not too bad a Mother's Day.

Trying to finish my first PD James book this morning, which I am finding a little slow. I keep putting it down. Also crocheting a baby blanket for our son's future wife's expected niece with the baby's name spelled out in blocks of cluster stitches. Next I plan to work on transplanting a few pony packs into the border along our front walk. Some of the winter plantings should have been ripped out, but I let them stay in the hopes they would do well. They're not, so out they go. This year I am trying just groups of various colors fo alyssum in the hopes that they will fill out and look fluffy. I really need to shampoo the family room rug, and may or may not get to that today. I am a good procrastinator.

I think I am going to live on the other side of Sue. I am sure we can find a barter system we could work with. She can cook and I can eat! I would even buy the groceries! I am great in the garden too-

Sounds good to me, I'm moving in two doors down! DS and I went to a big garage sale in a parking garage downtown, two floors of it. Got a few things, now I've been mowing out back on the rider, finally decided to take a break and check the KT. Dogs are wanting fed now, it's always something!

I could sure use someone to do the yard work! I think we can strike up a deal. The more the merrier!

I spent the day knitting and watching Presidents Obama and Sarkozy on TV for the D-Day ceremony. Did anyone else watch?

I've been outside most of the day....I did laundry and had the sheets on the line plus a lot of other things....DH was puttering in the yard and I finally finished planting my pots...I still need to throw some seeds in the ground but ran out of gas...I need to finish the inside now but it's only going to get a lick and a promise.....I have to save my strength for the Penguin game tonight.....

GO PENGUINS!

Haha, Velleen, I thought about just moving in with Sue until she mentioned yard work!!! Glad to see you back.

I learned something new today--how to change fluorescent bulbs--the long kind that go in ceiling lights. Ours went out a few days ago so I finally remembered to buy some new ones. DH has always done that and tried today, but his PAD seems to be getting worse and he was struggling. He did get the cover off, though. It was really easy and now I know!! Getting the cover back on was the hard part.

Since I'd brought the ladder in the house I decided to paint the kitchen. I got most of it done before I wore out. Just have behind the frig and around the pass-through, but that's another day. I don't mind painting once I get started, it's the prep and clean up I hate!!

Come on in Velleen and Patti, we can just sit and eat and chat! I tried to take a nap and just as I was dozing off, the phone rang. Oh, well, I need to get a few more things done and check on that meat in the crockpot. Sounds like you are having quite the get together Glenda! I havent' had the television on all day to watch anything.
