Sunday-Up late about 7:30 AM. Had breakfast, mine was "Breakfast Quinoa". Got the recipe from the book that Patti gave me as a hostess gift. It was pretty good, needed more raisins. Put chili fixing in the crock pot for lunch and then chores.
Patti was here around 11:00 AM and we left shortly after. We made stops at Cummin Cemetery in Juddville, the Heard and Passmore homesteads, Cronk Cemetery, and then the Flushing City Cemetery. Lots of family names and places.
Back at home we had lunch and then did some picture looking. Before we knew it is twas time for Patti to head back to Ann Arbor. Her birthday is August 2 and her parents wanted to take her out to dinner before she went back to Indiana.

Did bread inventory, there are 14 loaves of bread, so no need to bake this week.
11:16 AM Late chores, but getting things done.
Worked in the yard the rest of the day. Wildflower garden is weed free, Mums are planted, and Greg started the hole for the dinner bell pole. This dinner bell came down from the pole at the farm the day my Grandparents Sherman were married. The family didn't want the shiverrieers to disturb the newlyweds! Then my brother inherited it from my parents, and after he had it for awhile he handed it down to me. It is at least 150 years old!
The usual evening time and bed.
Friday-Up at 6 AM, dogs out, computer time, quick breakfast and then chores. Chita and Daniella got here just when I was finishing up. They were here to work on the costume for fun class at fair. Chita left to go shopping for new work clothes because she starts a different job next week. We got Daniella fitted in her part of the costume before Chita left. Then Daniella and I finished Skippy's part of the costume. We were just finishing up when Chita got here. The three of us tried Skippy's part on here and then they left.
Did more work on the bell pole, had dinner, chores, and I washed the truck. Had porch time. Then we went to Swanson's to dig post holes for the fence he is putting up for the twins.
Saturday-Up and gone by 7:30 AM, going to Market with 14 loaves of bread and 14 dozen eggs. Big Market...14 vendors and lots of people! Came home with only four loaves of bread and no eggs!
At home lunch then late chores, raining really good.
While I did chores, Greg went to TSC to pick up fence posts for Swanson. Because of the rain we were unable to set any posts, but we did have a nice visit. Betty has a new kitten.
Jenn, Pat and a friend stopped by, they were on a site seeing tour of Laingsburg. They had set up their new 5th wheel trailer at Sleepy Hollow to try it out for the first time.
We got back home at around 6 PM and had dinner. I didn't feel like doing anything so I just watched some TV and didn't even do evening milking...will do it early tomorrow.
Next week is Fair week, I will try to get some pictures so I can post them when I do my next blog.
Onward and Upward!
