We were only 54* this morning. That's darn close to the 40's! Fall is coming! Someone was even asking about Secret Santa a few days ago. Thank goodness I have my Christmas shopping already done!
Yesterday was another busy day around here. Bill was up on the roof blowing off all the fir needles and cleaning the gutters, then spreading out his de-moss treatment. So I climbed into the big garden window in the kitchen and washed all my cookie jar collection, the window, and then polished all the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. After that I worked outside for a few hours, then in my sewing room for another hour. I shut 'er all down at 3:30 and headed for the deck and a cold drink. Today Bill is going to Olympia, probably for all day, to help a friend with his leaky RV window. I have chiropractor, then more yard work, then more sewing. I also need to fine tune my meal plans for when the family gets here and and for our 4-day camping trip with Al & Tina after the other two fly home. August is going to fly by!
JANA - sounds like you have no excuse to ever be late!! Clocks, clocks everywhere! Providential that you found an even better GF clock and a case for Ethan to boot! As to Vicki, that's exactly what our Code Enf guy said would happen - what you described Aaron would do. We'll see. At least the vegetation is growing over much of the garbage so we don't see a lot of it anymore. And she keeps the rats well fed so they don't come over here. Blackberries are now head high where lawn used to be.
VELDA - like you, I use whatever is on hand and will suit the dish when I use the crockpot. When I make beef stew, I use beer, a trick an elderly lady taught me decades ago. Gives a nice flavor. A bit of red wine to spaghetti sauces and white goes into things like chicken. One of my favorite sauces to put over baked chicken is white sauce with a healthy dab of Dijon mustard.
Supper tonite is going to be - I think - a one dish meal in the fry pan - cabbage, onion, turkey kielbasa, macaroni. Not too healthy, I suppose, but a good way to use up the last of everything. Bill likes these kinds of meals. Of course, Bill just likes meals! lol!
What are you liking for tonite?
