Still Preping!
Good morning snow is falling softly then melting quickly in the yard. Brandy and I have been out already and she is back on ‘momma’s bed’ keeping a sleeping Jay company. Today is another I’m not sure what to do day but it will fill up quickly. See I’m one of those ‘but first’ people. I start something and in the process I spot something else that needs to be done so I stop what I am doing and do the new thing so I won’t forget to get it done. Now multiple that situation several times a day and sometimes you never get back to the original project. Sometimes I think I should staple a pad of paper and a pencil to my chest so I can make notes and do jobs in order!
Yesterday went quite well starting with getting up a 6 am with sore shoulders after going to bed at 12:30 am the night before. I decided to make a double batch of beef stew to freeze for when I can’t get around as well. It went together well and tasted great ( we took a little for lunch). After it cooled I put it in containers and now we have five meals in the freezer . Jay tried a new recipe for chili next which we had for supper. We aren’t too happy with the spice taste but with some ketchup added it mellowed out so I froze two containers of that also.
Next finally some box packing, which I had put off for a couple of days. They will probably go out today or tomorrow. Consequently I have a few more snowmen to make and I bought the yarn for another project on Tuesday to get done.
This Saturday I hope to see SEB and family for a visit (been a while). Jeanie, my late brother’s fiance, is having a birthday and Jay is making her a special cake so she will be dropping by also. Sunday is clear so far except I think Cyn and David may bring something to store in the basement, Monday is clear also, Tuesday I take Jay to Dr. Webb’s office for a check up in the arm, Wednesday Is Right Foot day, Thursday is Turkey day and also my day to come home, Friday I begin six weeks as a one legged pirate. But at least I will still have the foot for later!!!! I’m so looking forward to someday walking an entire store when shopping with no pain (I hope).
Well I have to get started doing what I’m going to do today if I can figure out what I’m going to do today. GEE THE 72 YEAR OLD MIND IS A WONDERFUL THING AIN’T IT!!!
Oh please look for Dakota’s paper turkey in the Cornucopia--It is getting too old to stand up by itself just like me ha ha!!!!
