A hap hazzard post...September 4-10

Sunday-Cloudy and much  cooler.  Yea! Blog is up to date.  Time for chores.

We took the non functioning furnace out of the camper.  We will take it to Harry's RV Service on Tuesday to have him go over it and tell us if it is repairable or not.  NOT REPAIRABLE.

After lunch we went to Gander Mountain for fishing lilicences and some new tackle.  Then to Menard for a couple of things.  Then JoAnn's for material to redo two chairs.  Decided to go to different JoAnn's tomorrow.

Had dinner when we got back...Snow Crab Legs and sweet corn with watermelon for dessert.  Yummy!

Nothing exciting, just TV time and then bed.

Monday-Happy Labor Day.  Went to Frandor for fabric, got everything I need to do the chairs, now just need some time to do it.

Spent the evening machine embroidering on one of the new camp chairs.  It turned out nice.



Tuesday-Another week of not taking any blog notes, so  from here on out I don't have much.  Didn't get as much done as I would have liked.  Still something is always coming up that takes me away from what I had planned to do.

I did order some long sleeve tee shirts on line from a place called Jiffy Shirts. (jiffyshirts.com)  Greg and I both like them for winter wear.  I placed the order on Thursday morning and they were delivered on Friday morning!  Our order was over $65 so shipping was free!  Actually our order was over $100, so we also got a bulk discount...the shirts were just over $6 each!  Can't beat that with a stick!  Plus really fast delivery!

I may do some embroidery on them as well, just for the fun of it.  Or maybe some iron on printing.

At Market on Saturday I took some of my handspun yarn to sell.  I sold two skeins!  Now that is some real money!  Come on people, let's buy more of my yarn...please.

Hope this next week is more productive then the last...Onward and Upward.

August 28-September 3, 2011

Sunday-Still at camp this morning and in no rush.  Breakfast then back to the house for chores.  Gave the twins and Isaiah their second CDT shot.  All shots are done now.

Then we headed to Swanson's to do some fence work.

Back home, did journal writing and then off to rake hay.  Hay done, chores, packed food and water back to camper for the evening.  Relaxing around the campfire.

Monday-Up around 7AM, then breakfast and breaking camp.  Back to the  house by 11:00, unpack, then chores.  While I was out Jenn called, their truck broke down near Clare on their way back home from camping.  They need us to come and get the fifth wheel trailer back home.  Made a temporary trade, we have their Vue, while they use our truck to go back and bring back their truck on a flat bed trailer.

We were ready to bale hay at 4PM.  All done and in the barn.  Quick dinner, some TV and Jenn brought our truck back.

Jenn and Pat's camper and truck at their camp.
Tuesday-7AM and dogs are out.  Brought the blog up to date.  11AM and still no breakfast, just got off the computer!  I am working on buying semen and having it delivered to ADGA Convention here in Michigan in October.

Brunch and then chores.

Plan for the day is to make salsas for my party tomorrow.  Hope there no surprises, would just like a dull week for a change.

Minor change...I just did some more semen tracking down, no surprises, just no work got done!

Okay, so I did get Cajeta on the stove to simmer all day.  It was ready to put into jars by evening.  I also got the beans soaked and then put in the crock pot to cook overnight.

Wednesday-Happy Birthday to me!  Up at 6:30AM, did a little more computer work, then breakfast.  Divided the Cajeta into small jars for my guests to take home.  Washed milk jugs, and froze three gallons of milk.  Chores then party prep.

Party went well, had plenty of food and 10 good friends!  Greg ran my Meals route for me.

Greg got home after all the girls had left.  He gave me my presents...a five gallon water jug(for camping) and THREE packages of Snow crab legs!  Yum! 

For dinner we went to Arby's and we stopped at Dunham's on the way home.  We bought two folding chairs and two pairs of binoculars and one new Rapala fishing lure...Happy Birthday to us both!

Back home it was chores and time to relax.

September 1, 2011

Thursday-Woke up at 5:45AM and decided to get up and do up the dishes and such from yesterday.  Daniella will be here around 7:30.  She asked if she could come and spend some time  here, before school starts on Tuesday.

I have bread to make for Market and I plan to go to the Fair office and pick up Daniella's pot holder and bracelet she had entered.  While out I plan to get Greg's Birthday presents.  I didn't have time to do it before his birthday.

There was quite a heavy fog this morning.  Temperature is nice and the sky is clear now.

Didn't get the bread made, but did everything else.  Chita came around 5:30PM to take Daniella back home.  They will be back in the morning.

Spent the evening relaxing.  Neighbors brought over a load of hay to put in our barn.

Friday-Up a bit after 6AM.  Spent some computer time.  Made contact with a friend who is going to do my chores while were on vacation later this month.

Daniella here, had breakfast and then mixed up and shaped the Salt Rising bread.  It looks REALLY good and foamy.  Should rise well.

Did chores, then got out the fishing equipment to check it over and do inventory.

Had lunch, then put sourdough bread together and set it to rise.

Sat on the porch until the Salt Rising was ready to bake.

Salt Rising is done and Sourdough is in the oven and it is only 7PM!

Daniella has gone and it is HOT HOT HOT!  Glad I only have chores to do and take bread out.  Porch sitting night again.

Saturday-6AM, bagging and labeling bread.  Getting market things together and in the truck.  Yogurt smoothie for breakfast and then off to market.

I got my favorite space, right in front of the Museum!  Lots of vendors and really busy market.  I was sold out of bread and eggs by 11:00!  Good day.

Home and no plans to do anything!  It is great!

Chores, dinner was sandwiches, and then we watched some football and later..."Mad Max, Thunder Dome", then off to bed.

Another week in the books...Onward and Upwards!
