Good afternoon! An extra hour sleep? Ha! It was so bright this morning that we were both awake and up before 8. Only good thing that came out of that was that I had everything prepped and ready to make western omelets for breakfast. I even made fresh biscuits to go with the omelets. Best part is that I made a 6 egg one, so that we would have half of it leftover for tomorrow. Smart move, right?
Dave - How many times can we say poor Kathi? Just thinking about her accident makes me hurt. I don't think she will be walking the dogs any time in the not too distant future. I hope her doctor can give her something for the pain she is in.
I had 2 numbers on one ticket last night. Close but no cigar!
Karen - We had that rain move in on us yesterday also. We were just getting ready to go to BJ's, so we had to hold off for a while. This was the first time I have been in BJ's in at least a year. I could not believe the line for self checkout. It went all the way to the back of the store! I sure was glad Bert knew the trick of going around the other way to get to the line with real cashiers. Once the woman ahead of us with her $300.+ order was checked out, it was a breeze for us to get out of there. By the time we got close to home, once again we hit heavy rain.
Visit with the wound doctor went well. He figures I should only need to come back once more in 2 weeks. I sure hope so. This 45 minute ride in each direction, mostly on 1 lane highways is getting old. Only good part is maybe getting one more chance to go have lunch at True Blue Winery before Lu-Ann & Lee get to Florida.
Kathie - So you going to be ready to volunteer to dog-sit again any time soon? Does Jill have a fenced in yard or did you have to walk the dog every time he needed to do his business?
Lee - How's that dust cleaning up going? Do you have a shop vac? Bert has used that to pick up dust from a home project in the past.
Bill - So glad you're feeling better from the flu. Our Jennifer has had it the past few days, as well as our NC grandchildren. There certainly is a lot of it going around.
Nancy - Sorry you didn't sleep well last night. Enjoy your race today and try to stay awake for it.
So Bert decided yesterday would be a good day to start bottling up some of his homemade blackberry brandy. He decided this time to save some of the whole berries, instead of mashing everything up. Well let me tell you something - those vodka loaded blackberries can set you on your tush in a heartbeat! They are so delicious. I told Bert a few of them would be delicious over some good vanilla bean or french vanilla ice cream. This is by far the best blackberry brandy he has ever made.
Only thing going on around here today is to make a trip to the library. My copy of the newest Janet Evanovich book is waiting for me. That will help fill the long evenings we will be facing starting today!
Have a great afternoon, everyone!
