Good morning!
Earl is home sick, though on the mend, and I'm back from getting kids to school and sat down to (finally!) have my first cup of coffee. Well, I usually only have one, but normally earlier than this, lol. Getting ready to pay bills-yippee skippee-and do some odds and ends of things around here.
On the agenda for today:
Making firestarters-I always think of Cathy when I see all my dryer lint-we are going camping in about a month and I thought I would use up some beeswax and all that dryer lint and see if I can simplify starting our campfires.
Go through my boys' clothes-a much dreaded but much needed job. They have both shot up so much this summer. I keep passing on Max's stuff though it makes me a bit sad. Don't need the clutter, though, of things we are not using and have learned it's better to pass it on and let someone else benefit than to keep it around here.
Make a batch (or two) of apple butter and can it.
Nail down a pet sitter for this weekend. Had someone in mind but haven't gotten a firm answer. We are headed to family camp from Friday night till Sunday afternoon.
My sheets are in to wash as Earl's fever broke last night and he sweated a lot. Probably need to do one other load of wash.
Dinner tonight is roast chicken, mashed potatoes, homemade artisan bread, and asparagus.
Janice, hope Levi gets to feeling better. Great job on all the canning!
Cheryl, have a good day at home...you will feel so good about getting that laundry room done!
Mandy, good for you, getting your workout in. I wish I loved the Monday class but don't, so will do something at home today. Hope you get a pet sitter lined up as well.
Catherine
